1
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

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

3
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: the stragedyere of normalcy. Welcome to a Thursday edition of

5
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live. Another jam pack show for you is

6
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: We'll be with you from noon to three, the next

7
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: three hours of Bills Talk and all you can handle

8
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: is we continue preparations for Sunday Nights Big tilt. I mean,

9
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: this might be built. This might be the game of

10
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,599
Speaker 1: the week. When you look at the schedule, there are

11
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: some good games on the schedule, but a lot of

12
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: people are touting this one as the game of the week.

13
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: Um yeah, I'll be watching one tonight too. Though there

14
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: is a game tonight, all eyes will be on the

15
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: Patriots and the Rams. Rams are you know, they stubbed

16
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: their toe against San Francisco a couple of weeks ago,

17
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: and then they won last week. Right, they bounced back.

18
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: They're eating four now and so they got a game

19
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: against the Patriots team that's coming off a forty five

20
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: nothing shellacking of the Chargers in that very same stadium.

21
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: How about this, Steve, the Patriots go out to La

22
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: Sofi Stadium, wipe the floor with the Chargers, then fly

23
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: back home, only to come back two days later like

24
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: man alive to play Thursday night, because you can't stay

25
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: in California. It's it's it's a shutdown state for the

26
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: most part, so you gotta staying in a hotel for

27
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: the week. Then the Rams just beat the Cardinals by

28
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: ten right week, so they're eating four now, right they are? Yeah,

29
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: So it's an important game for the Rams as they

30
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: i a possible NFC West title. Bill's obviously helped the

31
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: Rams by putting San Francisco further in the rear view mirror.

32
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: Arizona they just beat head to head, and the Seahawks

33
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: lost to the Giants last week, so things are looking

34
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: up for the Rams. But they've got a handful tonight,

35
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: knowing the way that the Patriots coaching staff can craft

36
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: a game plan, and obviously people will people on the

37
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: network tonight. I'm assuming we'll build this up as a

38
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowl ramatch, and it is. When the Rams had

39
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: what all of three points, I think right that super

40
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: Bowl is interesting because you know, we've been seen it

41
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo for two decades. How the Patriots know

42
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 1: you kind of better than you know yourself. They take

43
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: away not only your go to but then they take

44
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: away your go to and just about every formation and

45
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: personnel grouping. I mean, they got a plan for you

46
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: that has rivaled nuns with and the Rams ran into

47
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: that and they're super Bowl. After they were tearing the

48
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: league up, they scored three points on the Patriots, and

49
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: Sean McVay was quoted after that game saying, I knew,

50
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: and I could believe me, I can relate. He knew

51
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: early in that game, or in the first half of

52
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: that game that his team, he could not get his

53
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: team to a place where they could attack what the

54
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: Patriots were doing. They just hadn't prepared for that. And

55
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: that is a sick feeling right there, coming all that

56
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: way to get to the Super Bowl and getting into

57
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: that game and all of a sudden realizing that these

58
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: guys are doing something we have no answer for. That's

59
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: a crusher and three points is all they could show.

60
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: So he knew he had been out coached basically by

61
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: the middle of the first quarter. You think there was

62
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: something he could do to change. I think that sticks

63
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: with him. Oh hell yeah, right. I mean that's the

64
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: pinnacle of a sarcastic. That's the pinnacle of a head

65
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: coach's career. You got to the ultimate game and you

66
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: laid an egg and you didn't help your team. You

67
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: couldn't help your team. And because the other guy is

68
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: that and you knew it was you. Yeah, I'd say

69
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: he's still Elijah wake at night thinking about that one,

70
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: and he will until he wins won himself. Bill's fans

71
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: have seen that for a long time. It is hard

72
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: to get on top of the Patriots. They do it

73
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: with technique and discipline in every aspect and supreme high quality,

74
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: high high level execution. That's the Patriots. And they master

75
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: the details. The details are in it. Yeah, they're baked

76
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: in they They just don't miss that. They have gone

77
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: to Super Bowls because of the details, and you can

78
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: go down to the very final plays. They had a

79
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: championship game against the Joe Flacco and the Baltimore Ravens.

80
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: Before the Ravens won the Super Bowl, they had Lee

81
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: Evans former Buffalo Bill on their roster. They run the

82
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: route the end of the game. Lee Evans catches the

83
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: ball in the front corner of the end zone before

84
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: he and get it. The guys punched it out of

85
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: his hands. In Joe Flacco throws a laser beam into

86
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: a keyhole and it gets punched out just that easy,

87
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: and that that was the game they had. The game won,

88
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: so and has happened at other times as well. The

89
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 1: details and the things that the Patriots do just don't.

90
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: Nothing goes unexplored and unschooled. And we've seen that here

91
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: in Buffalo time and time and year after year. Again.

92
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: For our MSG viewers, they may have noticed that Steve

93
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: and I are wearing the same shirt. This is from

94
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: the Bill's Fanbox collection and the latest edition is that

95
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: of Tremaine Edmonds, who decided to design his shirt with

96
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: his Twitter handle Maine Savage. This is not an homage

97
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: to the state of Maine. This is for Tremaine his

98
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: nickname Maine Savage. Kind Of like a Black Sabbath concert.

99
00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: It's very like metal esque black. Yeah, it's like there

100
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: is a concert T shirt in many ways it is right. Um,

101
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: I'm not sure about all of the elements of the design,

102
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: but I do know that much. And you can obviously

103
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: get that at Bill's fanbox dot com, along with some

104
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: other knick knacks. In the fanbox along with said T shirt.

105
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, I was pretty happy with with the design

106
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: he came up with here very much and like I'm

107
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: liking it. This might this one of them. I like

108
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: Cody Forde the color they had that green front line,

109
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: that green one was good. Yeah. In Military Tribute, Um,

110
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: they've got the h and then Dion Dawkins one for

111
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving was good. Feast Mode that that was a good one.

112
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: I know my kids like that one. School of Hard Knocks.

113
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: Yeah that was last week. We missed that one, well

114
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: we did, we did, and we didn't because we had

115
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: our hands on that before the release. We had to

116
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: hang onto it because he went on the release came.

117
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: Then the release came out last week and it wasn't

118
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: a home game right um, but yeah, yeah he had

119
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: a nice shirt too, School Hard Knocks. That was clever

120
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: using his last name there. So yeah, I mean the

121
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: players have been pretty creative, and we've got a couple

122
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: more guys, you know, coming down the pike here the

123
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: last couple of home games. So yeah, it'll be good

124
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: to see what these guys come up with. But yeah,

125
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: just showing out with the main Savage addition today. So yeah,

126
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: Bills fanbox dot com if you want one, So there

127
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: it is, and jam pack show for you today. As

128
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: I mentioned, because in about about thirty minutes time or so,

129
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: we'll check in with our colleague multi media reporter Maddie

130
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: glab Out at the practice field. We hear the baseline

131
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: pumping over there outside on the grass field today as

132
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: the team is back to full practice. They had kind

133
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: of a jog through yesterday coming off the Monday night

134
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: game and all the travel they got off Tuesday, obviously

135
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: because they were going to be short on sleep, and

136
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: then they got back into it slowly yesterday with a

137
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: jog through, you know, late in the season, shorter week,

138
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: one less day, so I think they eased him into

139
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: it Wednesday, and then today is like full bore, let's

140
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: get going and let's get ready. And I'm sure Friday

141
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,559
Speaker 1: will be much of the same. And we did learn

142
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: from coach McDermott this morning that Chiquon Johnson, the reserve

143
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: safety who also plays a role on special teams, is

144
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: not practicing today. He got nicked up in the game

145
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: Monday night. He looked like he's in a lot of

146
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: pain after he got hit in that game, and Quentin

147
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: Jefferson popped up on the injury report with a hip injury.

148
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: He was listed as limited yesterday in a jog through practice.

149
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: They basically give a practice participation estimation when it is

150
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 1: not a full scale practice. So he was listed as limited,

151
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: and I believe he will be again today. And then

152
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: the why is it slipping my mind? The other person

153
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: on Andre Roberts. Yes, with an achilles limited. And anytime

154
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: you see the achilles you always get a little extra

155
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: concerned because that is that's no joke, like you really

156
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: you do something bad with that. You could be lost

157
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: for a full calendar year. Um, yeah, that's as we've seen.

158
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I still remember in two thousand and five

159
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: when to Kio spikes toward his achilles in week three

160
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: and that was it. You know, you're not that's not

161
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: one you come back from anytime soon, right, because they

162
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: got to roll that thing back down, reattach it. It's

163
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 1: been one of those injuries in decades past where you

164
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: tear your achilles and that it's it's worse than the

165
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: old knee injuries. You're done. You'll never come back. They're

166
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: hard to come back. They're hard to come back from now,

167
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 1: that you know, there's technologies and procedures they can they're

168
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: getting a little better results. Even Cody Kobe Bryant, uh yeah,

169
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: did it and came back and played extremely well, which

170
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: is hard and high impact pio metric sport. Like that's

171
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 1: as much about Kobe as it is about the procedures valid.

172
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 1: But I've also seen other guys that I've known that

173
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: that have been hampered and have come back and played

174
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: okay after an achilles. But Man's that is that's a

175
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: catastrophic injury the achilles. Yeah, if it's that level, and

176
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: the thing that was cool, well I shouldn't say cool

177
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: because it's a serious surgery. But in covering the team

178
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: at that time when Techio Spikes did it, you know,

179
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: you come to learn about all these medical procedures as

180
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 1: they come up while you're covering a football team. And

181
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: the fascinating thing for me was how they repair the achilles.

182
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: They don't reattach it end to end. They overlap it

183
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: and sew it back together like that to ensure structural integrity.

184
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: And then you say, well, if they're going to overlap it,

185
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: that achilles is going to be shorter than the other one,

186
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 1: so it is on the athlete to train and strengthen

187
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: the achilles so that it eventually stretches back out to

188
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: its original length. And I'm thinking to myself, Holy cow,

189
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: like that is a lot of work. Yeah, yeah, you know,

190
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: you're achilles is half and then shorter than the other one.

191
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: But don't worry. Through rehab and strength exercises, you're gonna

192
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: get it back to the original length. And I'm just thinking, like,

193
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: we're counting on that. Think about your heel. We're counting

194
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 1: on that. That's our best approach. You know that. We

195
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: used to say, you know, slant board, and it truly

196
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: is a slant board is a is a great therapy.

197
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: But I can't even imagine going through that, you know.

198
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: It's I mean, it's just because I'm I was never

199
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 1: the most flexible and supple guy out there anywaymen, I was,

200
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: you know, but when you reach the point where you

201
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 1: can't stretch any further, who wants to go further? And

202
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: then to do it? Say listen, not only you have

203
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: to go further, you got to do it every single day.

204
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: It's got to become normal, and it's gotta you gotta

205
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: start grinding it out. And it's and it's not even

206
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: it's like it's your muscle and it's the tendon. Oh

207
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: you want to know, it's even more amazing. You fast

208
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: forward ten years from that two thousand and five season

209
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: with Tequillo Spikes, Kyle Williams had bone spurs on his

210
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: heels that were rubbing up against his achilles, and he

211
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: did it on both He had it in both feet,

212
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: bone spurs. So in in consecutive years, I want to say,

213
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: if I have this remembered correctly, consecutive off seasons, he

214
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: had surgery to remove the bone spurs and they actually

215
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: detached his achilles to get it out of the way

216
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: so they could grind that bone spur off and then

217
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: reattached the thing, really did it to both sides, and

218
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: the guy played like five more years. It's amazing. Yeah,

219
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: I know, it's not my cup like a dog right now.

220
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: Oh my god, she got it. It's amazing some of

221
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: the guys I'm successful. It's that's it right there, the

222
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 1: willingness and ability to do that. So that was a

223
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: that was a long did way of saying, well, we'll

224
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: check in with Maddie glab On on who's practicing and

225
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: who's not. An h in about you know, thirty minutes time.

226
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: Then in about forty five minutes, we're gonna speak with

227
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: former Patriots, former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Ike Taylor, who

228
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: does some analysis on the Steelers, and get his take

229
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: on what's made this Steelers defense so special this season.

230
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: I saw that, I want to say it was Matt

231
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: Bowen from ESPN dot com. He called the Pittsburgh secondary

232
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 1: the best in the league. He thinks it's the best

233
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: when healthy. He thinks it's the best group in the

234
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: entire league. And it's been a good group. It's hard

235
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: to argue when they lead the league in takeaways or

236
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: excuse me, well, I think they do lead the league

237
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 1: in total takeaways, but they definitely lead the league in interceptions.

238
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 1: They have sixteen I would say, twelve games. They are

239
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: very good. And not only are they very good, so's

240
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 1: their front or was you know, now they lost, you

241
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: know they lost, right, so that that hurt. But they're

242
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: good without those guys. And now you throw those guys

243
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: in with their ability to rush the passer and lead

244
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 1: the league and cause you know, cause funnels getting the

245
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: quarterbacks grill, everybody gets better. And that's that's how good

246
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,359
Speaker 1: the Steelers have been this year. They are their outstanding

247
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: group and they're and I get it too, like the Bill, Like,

248
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: let's compare it to what we all know. The Bills

249
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: defense was last year top three in the league. Hard

250
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: to score on or hard to move the football on.

251
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: You know, just kind of rough and tell me, you know,

252
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: you just you just kind of like you kind of

253
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: your offense kind of dies when it goes against that

254
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: Bill's defense from a year ago. The Steeler defense this

255
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: year is an attacking kind of playmaking defense where they're

256
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna make a play again. They're not just gonna

257
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: stop you. They're gonna force you into mistakes and make

258
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: big plays. They're gonna tip the ball, they're gonna pick

259
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: it off, they're gonna get a sack, they're gonna do

260
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: all this stuff. They're a kind of an kind of

261
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: that defense that's like catches your eye when you're looking

262
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: at it. The Bills catch your last year, like from

263
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: last year when they were top defense last year, there

264
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: the Bills stats would catch your eye. When you watch

265
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: the Steelers play, they catch your eye on the field.

266
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: That's kind of the difference in the stats are pretty

267
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: eye catching too though, right, I mean second against the pass,

268
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: third overall, sixth against the run, first in sacks per play,

269
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: first and fewest first downs allowed, fourth and third down defense,

270
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: first in points allowed. I mean they got a lot

271
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: of single digit numbers in the defense. Yeah, the Bills.

272
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: The Bills ranking kind of didn't match up with the

273
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: way it made you few when you watch them. And

274
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: now the Steeler that it all matches up. Man, they're

275
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: making plays, they're exciting to watch. They got athletes. They

276
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: played with a great deal of energy and physicality the

277
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: run at both in the run and the pass. And

278
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: it matches you expect when you see this defense, you

279
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: expect them to be highly repast the eyeball. Yeah, and uh,

280
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: and that's that's what the Bills are up against. Yep

281
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: and uh. I was surprised that I saw some next

282
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: gen stats about Josh Allen facing pressure. I swear Earlier

283
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: in the season we saw some encouraging numbers that Josh

284
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: was performing well against blitz packages and under pressure, and

285
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: then this week here we are, like four weeks removed,

286
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: when he's arguably playing the best football of his career,

287
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: and they've got him. I swear sometimes I wonder if

288
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: these guys just draw numbers just to put in a

289
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: breakout box and make it look good. But accord this

290
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: is according to next Gen Stats. So they say when

291
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: Josh is not facing any pressure, he's completing almost seventy

292
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: five percent of his passes, eight point two yards an attempt,

293
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: twenty one touchdowns, four picks, and a one fourteen point

294
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: five passer rating. They say when he is under pressure,

295
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: the completion percentage slips to fifty three percent, six point

296
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: nine yards per attempt and five touchdowns against four picks

297
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: and a seventy four point eight passer rating. So I

298
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: don't know you could take it for what it's worth.

299
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: How do they judge pressure and not pressure? When he

300
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 1: rolls away from pressure and throws on the move, does

301
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: that count. I don't know how they come up with

302
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 1: these advanced metrics, but the point here is if these

303
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: numbers are accurate. The Steelers have pressured opposing quarterbacks at

304
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: the highest rate this season, almost forty percent of the time,

305
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: and they've blitzed on almost forty percent of quarterback dropbacks,

306
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 1: which is the fourth highest in the league. Their pressure

307
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: rate of forty eight point three percent is the highest

308
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: in the league. Even their pressure rate with four or

309
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: fewer pass rushers at thirty three point eight percent, is

310
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: also the highest in the league. So whether they're blitzing

311
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: or whether they're just rushing their front, they're effective. Yeah,

312
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 1: they're winning. Yeah, and that's you gotta have a plan

313
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: for that. You've got to be ready for it, and

314
00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: you've got to anticipate that is going to happen. And

315
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: that's that's your coaching staff, and it's your reps, and

316
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: it's your preparation during the week. Because the Steelers are unique.

317
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a different defense and they saw

318
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: it last week. Now, certainly the Niners defense was a

319
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: good defense last year when they showed up here, but

320
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: it's different than the Steelers. So and that's why, you know,

321
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: that's why you got to play these games. They both

322
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: may be ranked high, but they're completely different characteristics in

323
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: these defenses, and you're gonna have to have a completely

324
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: different game plan. You can't just say, Okay, Josh, we're

325
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: gonna come out and do exactly what we did last

326
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: week long. No, you're not. You can't do that. Don't

327
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,239
Speaker 1: do that. It's a bad idea. As successful as it

328
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: was last week. This is a different defense and you're

329
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: gonna have to attack it with different tactics and different

330
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: play calls. And just to show you how their effectiveness

331
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: goes across the board, the Steelers have three of the

332
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: top five pass rushers in terms of quarterback pressures this season.

333
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: T J. Watt sixty four quarterback pressures in twelve games.

334
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: That's the most in the NFL. Stephant It forty four

335
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 1: quarterback pressures, fourth most the NFL, and that guy is

336
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 1: sneaky good, like you don't hear his name a whole lot.

337
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: That dude makes an impact with forty three quarterback pressures

338
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: on the season, ranking fifth in the NFL. Is Dupre,

339
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: who will obviously not be in this game after suffering

340
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: the season ending ACL injury, so not having him in

341
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: the equation certainly helps the cause. But this is a

342
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: group that has other answers. They're not a one trick

343
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: pony where if they don't have Dupre they're host. They

344
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 1: have a lot of answers, multiple answers. It's not just

345
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: what he is, the lynchpin, but there are others. And

346
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 1: their secondary is really good at covering, which helps the

347
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: guys up front. So you roll it all together, and

348
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: this is probably the best defense the Bills will face

349
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: this season. Probably, yeah, yeah, definitely. I was pausing for

350
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: exactly like Matt, the heck with it. It is the

351
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: best defense they're going to see in the regular season.

352
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean that some other team won't have a

353
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: better day against the Bills with whatever happens. But on

354
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: statistically and consistently, the Steelers are are the standard this year.

355
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: And you know most years they are up there, if

356
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 1: if not the best defense, they're close to it, and

357
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: that's what they hang their hat on. And this is not.

358
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: This year is no different. Can you guess the two

359
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: defenses that have allowed fewer total yards this season than

360
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: the Steelers, who are third. I would say, I'm gonna

361
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 1: give the New Orleans Saints, Yes, they're number one, and

362
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 1: the second one would be let me let me run

363
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: down my little list here. Um, let's say it wasn't

364
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: who I thought. I knew this defense was good. I

365
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: didn't think it was this good. I'm gonna say, let's

366
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: see what Cleveland, it's the LA Ramps really number two

367
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: overall defense, fifth in points out, third against the run,

368
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: first against the pass, fifth in sacks per play, third

369
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: and first downs allowed, second in third down defense. I mean,

370
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: that's a hell of a group. I wonder if they

371
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: were I wonder how they were they get the Patriots tonight.

372
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: I wonder how good they were back in Week four

373
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 1: when when the Bills. Yeah, they were still I think

374
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: they were decent. I don't think they were top of

375
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 1: the league, though, they were like, you know, somewhere between

376
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: ten and twelve and a lot of categories. I mean,

377
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: they are, like they've got as many single digit rankings

378
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: as the Steelers do. I mean, that's which I don't

379
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: think gets nearly enough of the pub because everybody still

380
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: talks about McVeigh and the offense and you know, the

381
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: jet motion and all the stuff that they do on offense,

382
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: which is certainly eye catching and entertaining. They got a

383
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: pretty good group on the other side of the ball there,

384
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: and that's why they Wade Phillips isn't even the coordinator anymore. Yeah,

385
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: that's right, and that it's it's nice to you have

386
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: to win under your belt against that team. Yeah. And

387
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: I also like that the Patriots have to play him

388
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 1: on a short week and travel to the West Coast

389
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: again this week. Nothing would make me happy then to

390
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: see a loss there. We're gonna have Maddie coming up. Yeah,

391
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: so we have to take a break here and we'll

392
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: be back with more. We'll also set up the Twitter poll,

393
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: so you guys know what you're gonna be commenting on today.

394
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,479
Speaker 1: So we'll get to that when we return here on

395
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,719
Speaker 1: One Bills Live presented by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo

396
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: Bills Radio, drout Key Tasker One Bills Live. Interesting. Our

397
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: crack staff on the other side and the control room

398
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 1: found out that the Patriots did stay on the West

399
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: Coast after their game against the Chargers, which makes sense

400
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: because to travel back from California to the East Coast

401
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: only to go right back out on Wednesday, that just

402
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: you lose so much time traveling alone. Yeah, there's ten

403
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: hours and they probably for them just bubble up out

404
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: there as well. His clothes off the hotel. I guess

405
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: I don't And really, I mean, you're not gonna practice anyway.

406
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 1: All he needs like a yard. You'll be doing walkthroughs

407
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,959
Speaker 1: and jog throughs and everything. Remember the Bills did that

408
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: for the Thanksgiving game last year. They really really never

409
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: practiced or pad it up or yeah, you never really

410
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: hit the field like that, so a lot of walk throughs.

411
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: He kind of it kind of goes without saying the

412
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: team would do that easily and easily, and they probably

413
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: be planning on doing that for months, right, although they

414
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 1: were probably worried about that plan by the time they

415
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: got to the regular season. Like this, holding up, holding

416
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: up that that four finger going up. Okay, we'll go

417
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: ahead and do it. Yeah, okay, wait, yeah, okay, was

418
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: still on Yeah, exactly today's Twitter poll. I forgot to

419
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: also mention we were running down the guest list. We

420
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: never got to. Our last guest coming up in about

421
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: an hour and a half will be Chris Collinsworth from

422
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 1: the NBC Sunday Night football broadcast team obviously teams up

423
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: with al Michaels to do the game on TV, so

424
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:06,479
Speaker 1: we will have what might have been the slenderest receiver

425
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: in the history of football. Yeah, he's He was tall

426
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 1: and lean, that's for sure. Our career. Shoulder to shoulder,

427
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: what is that about twenty inches? He is not a

428
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: broad shouldered guy, Yeah he is. He's I don't think

429
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: he's outside of coat hanger, that's for sure. That's what

430
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: I mean. Like he was just I'm amazing narrow played

431
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: as long as he did. He's a he's a sharp

432
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: guy's one of the best. He is one of the

433
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: top flight analysts, and that's why he's on Sunday Night

434
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 1: Football with Al Michaels. He's a top flight analyst. And

435
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: also a lot of people may not know this. I did,

436
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: but he's the guy who owns Pro Football Focus. He

437
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: bought it. Yeah, maybe a handful of a bunch of

438
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 1: years ago. He bought it, liked it and and and

439
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, took it over and uh yeah, because it's

440
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: based in Cincinnati, I want to say those guys and

441
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 1: it's uh so. And I know this too, I mean,

442
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: what is it Steve as a Palazolo, Yeah, he bills

443
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: fans have it because Pro Football Focus they try to

444
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 1: be impartial and they and they do a nice job

445
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,719
Speaker 1: with all of their stats, but every time they come

446
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: out with something that is unflattering about one of the teams,

447
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: not just to times where their numbers don't catch up

448
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: with what you see on the field, it drives you crazy. Yeah,

449
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 1: and I know Eric Wood is not a fan of

450
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: those guys either. And if I was an offensive lineman,

451
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't be either, because I don't understand this

452
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: is this is where it doesn't add up for me.

453
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: I don't understand how they can grade offensive linemen when

454
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: they don't know what their assignment is on the play.

455
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: Like pass protection, I guess you can grade to a

456
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: certain extent because you know, you gotta stop the guy

457
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 1: pick up a stunt, whatever it is. But in a

458
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: run blocking scheme, you know something may have gone wrong

459
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: that impacts where this guy's got to go on his

460
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 1: given play and he can't get to that spot because

461
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 1: so and so tripped and you know, got housed by

462
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: the defensive lineman. Well that's not on this guy. He

463
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 1: had no path to go execute his assignment and he's

464
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: gonna get a negative grade for that for the most part.

465
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: And I don't know who the they have people who

466
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: watched that watch the film, who are experienced film watchers. Now,

467
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: having said that, you can spend time and decipher what

468
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: offensive lineman is supposed to, particularly after you get into

469
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: this and you watch you know, hours and hours upon

470
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: hours of film, you get better at it and you

471
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: can see, oh, okay, here's what they were thinking. So

472
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: it is possible to decipher it. I don't know how

473
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 1: far they allow their film watchers to go with benefits

474
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: of the doubt, you know what I mean. I mean

475
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: there's but yeah, if it can't connect all the dots

476
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: that's right. When they're grading offensive lineman, there's just no

477
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: way that's right unless you have their playbook and their

478
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: call sheet. Like it's hard. It's hard to do because

479
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: even if the guys go out and do the right thing,

480
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: if they were wrong on the play, but they did

481
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 1: the you know, they made the block hard to say

482
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 1: whether you got that right or whether you know, an

483
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: offensive line play, more so than anything, is as difficult

484
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: to decipher and to grade as any position in football.

485
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 1: It is really tough to do. So you're right, you've

486
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 1: got to have a real knowledge of how that stuff

487
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: works to begin with, and then have enough experience to

488
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 1: decipher what could have been, should have been, would have

489
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: been on a play and not just what you're looking at.

490
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 1: So it's yeah, it's really hard to do. And but

491
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: you know, tap hats off to them. Not made people

492
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 1: even attempt it, and these guys do and they come

493
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: up with some pretty good numbers and some numbers that

494
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what football is. You're going to debate

495
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: everything you hear because it doesn't pass your eye test.

496
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: But by the same token, it's a it's a resource

497
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: that I know this even NFL teams take advantage of. Yeah,

498
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 1: that is true. So Chris Collin's worth in about an

499
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 1: hour and a half from now, and our Twitter poll

500
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 1: obviously is focusing on Sunday Night's game, and we're asking you,

501
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 1: if the Steelers defense keeps Josh Allen from having another

502
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: MVP type performance, how do the Bills win on Sunday Night?

503
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: I think we can all agree that Josh has overwhelmingly

504
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: been the reason the team has succeeded in the fashion

505
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: that it has, jumping out to a nine and three

506
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 1: record after twelve games. If Josh can't continue to perform

507
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: at a level that he has in three games that

508
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 1: earned him Player of the Week and some solid performances

509
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 1: in a handful of other games, how do the Bills

510
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: still beat the Steelers? Your choices, A defense generates takeaways,

511
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: be the run game picks up the slack c it

512
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: comes down to one big play or d Josh is

513
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: too hot right now, they can't stop him. So taking

514
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: a look at the early voting. In the poll, people

515
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: believe that the defense will generate takeaways forty six percent

516
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: of the vote there. The second one is Josh Campy stop.

517
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: Thirty percent of the people think, I forget about the

518
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: Steelers being number three defense in the league, number two

519
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: against the past, number one in sacks, number one in takeaways.

520
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. Everybody's a little bit still a little

521
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: bit drunk on a little saucings for Monday Night. On

522
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: Monday Night madness. Yeah. And then fifteen percent says the

523
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: run game picks up the slack and eight percent say, remember,

524
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: come down to one big play. I think there are

525
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,239
Speaker 1: I think remember the old wine mad darm twenty twenty. Oh,

526
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: Monday Night twenty twenty is what people are still drunk on.

527
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: Buffalo Yeah, I mean in d twenty twenty. There it

528
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: is there, it is. Uh Yeah. So I think you

529
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: and I were in agreement that we think this is

530
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: going to be a tight game. Yeah, probably a one

531
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: score of You could see here's the problem with this game.

532
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: I could see the Pittsburgh Steelers and you can go

533
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: down and look at it. They've had a schedule that

534
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: has not been as hard as the Buffalo bill schedule.

535
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: They've been playing Dallas and Washington and and uh uh

536
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: the Giant Aiance and DA Dallas, Washington, Giants, Philly, the

537
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: NFC East. They've lost one of those games. Then they've

538
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: played Cincinnati. They just you know, it hasn't been, you know,

539
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: a really tough schedule for Pittsburgh. Let me just go

540
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: down the list. I'll tell you what who they've played. Yeah,

541
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: it's been Denver, Houston, Philly, the Giants, Houston when they

542
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: were playing like garbage, Cincinnati again, Jacksonville, and they lost Washington.

543
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,719
Speaker 1: So they've had a schedule that hasn't been I mean,

544
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: and you go back and look at the schedule that

545
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: well we all know, but let's let's let's go back

546
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: for the sake of you know, going back and looking

547
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: at it. You go back and look at Buffalo schedule.

548
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: Now they've played the Jets and Dolphins. Jets twice. But

549
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are a winning team now. They're eight and four.

550
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: They beat the Rams, who are winning team. They beat

551
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: the Raiders, who are winning team. They've beaten the Patriots,

552
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: they beat the Seahawks, who are winning team. They lost

553
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: on Haile Murray to the court Cardinals. They beat the Niners,

554
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: who are winning team. Niners are under five hundred now

555
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: and now they are. Yeah. So the Bills have had

556
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: some games, particularly against like the Rams, the Raiders, the Seahawks, Chargers,

557
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers, their schedule has been more difficult than

558
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: the Steelers now. So having some reason, I'm saying all

559
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: this about the schedules. In my mind, I can conjure

560
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: up a blowout for the Steelers, a blowout for the Bills,

561
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: and a game that comes down to one play. It

562
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: doesn't take that much mental gymnastics with the defense, Like

563
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: the Steelers has the tip pass pick six and then

564
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:45,959
Speaker 1: you get a little desk or something else bad happens

565
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: or they you know, they come out and they play well,

566
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: the Bills can't run the ball on them, and then

567
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: you know, their secondary shows up, and I can say

568
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: the same thing. They come out and they try all

569
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: this stuff they've been doing against the Cincinnati Bengals, and

570
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: they've been doing the stuff against Jacksonville, and all of

571
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: a sudden, Josh comes out and lights him up like

572
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: he did the Rams and the Seahawks. I can see

573
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: that too. So I'm having a hard time getting my

574
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: mind around what this game is really going to look like. Yeah,

575
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: there's a myriad of ways that it could go. I

576
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: think it's going to come down to who can impose

577
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: their will most effectively on the opponent. I mean, can

578
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: the Steelers defense really shackle up the Bills passing game?

579
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: Can Josh overcome the best pass rush and the best

580
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: takeaway defense in the league and still execute the passing

581
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: game with precision and efficiency. That's really the marquee matchup

582
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: in this thing, and the side of the ball and

583
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: the phase of the game that can impact or neutralize

584
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: the other the most effectively, I think in that matchup

585
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: will largely dictate how this game is going to play out.

586
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: All right, break time for us. When we return, we

587
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: will have our multimedia reporter, Maddy glab live from the

588
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: side lines of Bill's practice. They're out on the grass

589
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: field about fifty yards away from us. We'll check in

590
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: with Maddie when we return here on One Bills Live

591
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio, Chris Brown,

592
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker, one Bills Live Thursday edition, and with no

593
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: further ado, we head out to the practice field where

594
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: the Bills are on the grass field today and if

595
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: the Bills are on the grass field, that means our

596
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: own Maddie glab is there as well, and she is

597
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: waiting in the wings to bring us the injury updates. Maddie,

598
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: how are we doing? Weather okay out there? Yeah, it's

599
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: not too bad today, guys. I mean there's a little

600
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: bit of a wind out here, it's not that cold.

601
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: Dared Boko is saying hello in the background. Yeah, people

602
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: aren't too bundled out here. Of course, the wide receivers

603
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: are standing right next to the heater right now as

604
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: I look to my left, so maybe the players are

605
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,800
Speaker 1: a little bit colder than me. But yeah, weather's not

606
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: too bad. Hopefully it's not going to be too bad

607
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: on Sunday either. Did I just catch your proximity alarm

608
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: going off there in the background? You got mine have

609
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: gone off for a quick second because Derek Boyko, our

610
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: pr director, walked by me and he's in the bubble

611
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: and I am not in the bubble. So that's how

612
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 1: things are working now with the updated protocols. It's kind

613
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: of you're either in the building or you're out of

614
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: the building, and I'm out of the building, and so

615
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: I have to wear my contact tracer when I'm not practices,

616
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: and if I get too close to anybody in the building,

617
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: it'll go off. I know that. And I'm not going

618
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: to worry about the weather too much. You look, but

619
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: if you start wearing ski goggles to practice, then then

620
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: I'll worry about you, Maddie. For now, if it's too windy,

621
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: I'll start doing that. What about what about our guy

622
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,760
Speaker 1: John Brown? Is he spy him anywhere? I'm really interested

623
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: to see how he's progressing anyway to tell. Yeah, So

624
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: no John Brown at practice today. We know he can't

625
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: play this weekend, but I do think I spy him

626
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: running around right now on the field. There's a couple

627
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 1: guys who are on the field to the side doing workouts,

628
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,240
Speaker 1: so I think John Brown is one of those guys.

629
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: He looks like he's talking to Chad Hole right now,

630
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: so it looks like he's progressing. I mean, it's good

631
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: to see him on the field running around using those legs,

632
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: getting back into football shape, hopefully getting back into playing

633
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: shape as well here in the next couple of weeks. Yeah,

634
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: for fans that aren't aware, he is still on injured reserve.

635
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: He has to miss a minimum of three games, and

636
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: this weekend's game would be game number three, so the

637
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: earliest he could return and be activated off IR is

638
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 1: next week against Denver. But there is another receiver on

639
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 1: the list, Maddie. It's Andre Roberts who popped up on

640
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: the injury report yesterday with what was listed as an

641
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: achille injury, which always gives you pause knowing the severity

642
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 1: of that kind of injury. But I guess we should

643
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,800
Speaker 1: be encouraged that he was listed as limited yesterday. And

644
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: do we see him out there again today? Yeah, he

645
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: was listed as limited yesterday, just like you said, Chris.

646
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: And then when Sean McDermott spoke to the media this

647
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: early afternoon, he said that Andre Roberts was going to

648
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: be out here in a limited capacity as well. So yeah,

649
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 1: he's out here today. Hopefully he's good enough to go

650
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: later this week, because losing a guy like him, with

651
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: just how productive he's been this season, would definitely hurt

652
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: the Bills, especially going up against a team like the Steelers.

653
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: I think you want to have everything you can get

654
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: from all three sides and phases of the game, so

655
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: he's an important piece to the equation this weekend. Okay,

656
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 1: what about any of the rotation an offensive line. Yeah,

657
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,439
Speaker 1: so we saw John Foliciano come out in the game

658
00:36:57,920 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: kind of early there when a lot of players were

659
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 1: we're in and out of the game. I remember Devin

660
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: Singletary came out, Zack Moss came out, Cole Beasley came out,

661
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 1: but everybody ended up winding back in the game. John Feliciano,

662
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: he was rolled with the knee and a foot injury

663
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: that he's dealing with, but he was labeled as a

664
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: full participant yesterday and he is here today practicing today.

665
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: Nobody isn't. I guess it wouldn't be Red this week

666
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 1: because they're practicing and red because of the color Rush jerseys.

667
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: But he looks to be fine and pretty much normal

668
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,439
Speaker 1: as he has been the last couple of weeks. Yeah.

669
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: I mean Feliciano's foot would have to be hanging off

670
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: to get him off the practice. Quentin Jefferson another new

671
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: name added to the injury report. I know he was

672
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,320
Speaker 1: on that injury report earlier in the season, but for

673
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 1: the last three or four weeks he has not been there.

674
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: But he pops up on the injury report with a

675
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: hip injury and was a DMP yesterday. What's his status today, Mannie, Yeah,

676
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: so DMP yesterday. I see him out here now going

677
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:04,280
Speaker 1: through individual drills with the defensive line in the rotation.

678
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 1: He looks like he's out there doing everything that the

679
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: other defensive linemen are doing right now. So he was

680
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 1: labeled as Sean mcduran saying that he would be a

681
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 1: limited capacity today as well. And then I guess the

682
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: only guy that we didn't see yesterday and may not

683
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:26,399
Speaker 1: see today either is Jaquan Johnson right that ankle injury. YEP,

684
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: I do not see Jaquan Johnson out here today with

685
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: that ankle injury. So he, I would say, is one

686
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 1: of the few players missing practice today that is not

687
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 1: on the injury reserve. Might be the only player missing

688
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:43,240
Speaker 1: practice that's not on IR Good stuff, all right, Mattie,

689
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: thanks for bringing us up to speed. We know you'll

690
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 1: keep us appressed of any changing situations out there. We

691
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Yeah, no problem. Good to see this team

692
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: healthy for week fourteen. Yeah, y amen to that. Thanks

693
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 1: very much, Maddie, We appreciate it. That's Maddie glab Our,

694
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: multimedia reporter out on the sideline. That may be an

695
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 1: update from the practice field. That may be as big

696
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,399
Speaker 1: a factor in the Bills coming down the stretch. Their

697
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: success is anything is their health, because nobody is. I mean,

698
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,879
Speaker 1: you look at the Steelers. They've got Steven Nelson, even

699
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: that their kickers hurt, Joe Hayden, their other cornerback has hurt.

700
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 1: Robert Spillane didn't practice. He's got a knee. You've got

701
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: quarter Ben Ben Roethlisberger, David Dicostra, and Alejandro Villaneueva. Those

702
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,839
Speaker 1: three guys are taking veteran days. Yesterday, they got guys

703
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: resting coming down the stretch, and all those guys are

704
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 1: given veteran guys data recover. I don't think Ben practice

705
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: is at all on Wednesdays at all anyway, But coming

706
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: down the stretch, when your team and all the guys

707
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 1: are feeling good healthy, it's huge. It's really huge. Well,

708
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: you know the Bills, I you know, as well as

709
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: they played in Week ten against Arizona and probably deserve

710
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 1: to win the football game, you know, with the effort

711
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,879
Speaker 1: they summoned up in the fourth quarter. I mean, even

712
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: coach said it's been a marria to get to this

713
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,959
Speaker 1: point because they had one of the latest bye weeks

714
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: in the league. Last week, Week twelve was the last

715
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: or two weeks ago. Last week Tampa Bay and the

716
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 1: latest the latest bye week in the season. There were

717
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: four teams, Carolina, Tampa, a couple others, so they had

718
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: one of the latest bye weeks on the year, and

719
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: some of those bills they were hanging to get to

720
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 1: week eleven. So you get that week and it's like

721
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: you're rejuvenated. And I think we saw some of that

722
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: coming out of the bye against the Chargers, and they

723
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 1: looked like a fresh group Monday night against the Niners.

724
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:42,240
Speaker 1: So hopefully that continues this week, because if we forget

725
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: the Steelers really didn't get a bye that had to

726
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 1: mess with the Titans, and they got a game moved

727
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: up a week, they got lost there by, and then

728
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 1: when they were going to get a mini buy on

729
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving that got blown up by the Ravens. So this

730
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: team really hasn't had a break at all. And I

731
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 1: think we saw some of the effects of that against

732
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:08,240
Speaker 1: Washington because they didn't look like themselves on Monday against

733
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: the right Washington football team, did they. I mean, they

734
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:14,240
Speaker 1: didn't look like the same and you can flying defense,

735
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 1: flying around doing stuff. They didn't look that way on Monday.

736
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: I wonder if they're hanging a little bit here. I'm

737
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 1: sure they are. It's a grind man. And I'll say

738
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: this as well. When you get a couple of days off,

739
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: I'm talking really a couple like three days off. Forget

740
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: about a bye week you get you usually get about

741
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: three days off on your by it feels like two

742
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 1: full weeks because the stress level is so high and

743
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 1: the pressure is on all the time. When you're trying

744
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: to get ready for a big physical confrontation in the

745
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: National Football League. I mean, you gotta get you gotta

746
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 1: get emotionally invested in it, and that takes a lot

747
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:56,479
Speaker 1: of mental energy to get yourself there and emotional energy

748
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,320
Speaker 1: as well as the physical part about working out, getting

749
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: treatments on aches and pains, practicing, running, stretching, just walking

750
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 1: around the buildings, engaging mentally in meetings. It's just one

751
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: thing out and it never lets up. If you're in

752
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: there early and you're going hard until you go home,

753
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 1: and you go hard to your home, you try and

754
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 1: have maybe a little down and then you gotta get red,

755
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 1: and then you gotta get up again, you know, and

756
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 1: you do it again the next day and the routine

757
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 1: of it starts to just crush you and I and

758
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 1: it just brought something to mind. You want to know

759
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 1: why they're dropping passes, that's probably it. It's mental. You know,

760
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: it's mental. Those guys are beat. I will say that. Roethlisberger,

761
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: to his credit, said I have to throw more catchable passes.

762
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: There were some balls. Yeah, bet he threw at times,

763
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: but there were some balls. I mean the one we

764
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 1: just saw there in the middle with washing. I mean,

765
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:51,879
Speaker 1: come on, that's that's crazy, and that's that's being mentally exhausted. Right.

766
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 1: Some interesting news coming out of Baltimore as we speak.

767
00:42:55,920 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: Dees Brian just tweeted, I tested negative back to back

768
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 1: for COVID and I'm not excited about it. So here

769
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: we are? What are we? Two days removed from the

770
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 1: Tuesday game between the Ravens and the Cowboys, a game

771
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 1: where in pregame warmups des Bryant's pulled off the field

772
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:23,320
Speaker 1: because of a positive COVID test after two prior tests

773
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: were ruled inconclusive. Here we are two days later, and

774
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 1: he's negative. He's not he's not happy. That hasn't add up?

775
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: Shouldn't he still be positive two days after he first

776
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: tests positive. So now it calls into question the rapid

777
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 1: point of care test and that validity. And wasn't there

778
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: another team earlier this week that had a slew of

779
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:53,720
Speaker 1: false positives on game day morning and they were the Chiefs.

780
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,800
Speaker 1: They had a slew of false positives game day morning,

781
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 1: and they got those corroborated as false positives fortunately before

782
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: their game. And now here we are with Dez Bryant

783
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,760
Speaker 1: testing positive on a rapid point of care test Monday,

784
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: is pulled off the field a half hour before the game,

785
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,359
Speaker 1: can't play, and now two days later, according to him,

786
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:21,280
Speaker 1: he's tested negative back to back. I'm telling you right now, Steve,

787
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: Week fourteen is not the time for the integrity of

788
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: your testing procedures to be brought into question. But it

789
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 1: seems like Dez Bryant is doing exactly that right now

790
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 1: with this tweet. Yeah, and Des can say whatever he wants.

791
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 1: He's not happy because he didn't get to play against

792
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 1: the Cowberk in a game where they were going to

793
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: crush that team. That would have been sweet revenge for

794
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: him after everything that he had happened that had happened

795
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: throughout his career. But i'm I'm. Let's face it this

796
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 1: way as well. At this point of the season, week fourteen,

797
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: after the last couple of weeks of where the entire

798
00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 1: country is surging with the virus, the league is absolutely

799
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,800
Speaker 1: on you heard Maddie Glab out of practication. It is

800
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:07,320
Speaker 1: on lockdown. We've had to adjust our work days and

801
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 1: our work situations here at the stadium and in our

802
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 1: studios and the way we do our business. We had

803
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 1: to get special dispensation, even though we don't have any

804
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 1: contact or aren't in the same part of it, but

805
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: there's a wall between us. We may as well be.

806
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: We could be an Amherst and be as about as

807
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 1: removed as we are from the team, but the league

808
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: had to come in and check it out and make sure.

809
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: So then they said, okay, yeah, you can come in

810
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: and do your show, as long as you don't go

811
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 1: through these doors anyway. That's why Dez Bryant was off

812
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: the field. That's why they are on total lockdown. They

813
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 1: are not taking any chances. It was the test results

814
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: that sent this into Code RED were inconclusive, not positive,

815
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: and then it took another one and that it was

816
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 1: inconclusive not positive. So then they take this other one

817
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 1: and it comes to BacT positive whatever that it is.

818
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 1: And perhaps it could be some sort of I'm not

819
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:03,879
Speaker 1: even go there. It could be it was a false

820
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,800
Speaker 1: positive maybe for whatever the reason. Maybe it was no

821
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: fault of the test or whatever. Maybe it's something des

822
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 1: Bryant eight or whatever, a cup of sugar or something.

823
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 1: But who knows. What I'm saying is they are hyper

824
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: sensitive to any irregularities in their testing process. And if

825
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 1: and thus too, thus far though they're I'm okay with this,

826
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 1: even if there are false positible, Well, you have to test.

827
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:32,360
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's They got no way around that.

828
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 1: And but for them and they, let's not deny the

829
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: fact that there have been hiccups. The Bills had false

830
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: slew of false positive of them that included Josh Allen

831
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 1: and forced him to miss a training camp practice right

832
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,320
Speaker 1: along with a handful of other players and staff. It

833
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: was like ninety Chiefs just it was between the Bills

834
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 1: and the Lions or somebody who they all had these

835
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 1: false positive. It was a contaminated The Chiefs had a

836
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,720
Speaker 1: slew of false positives game day morning this past Sunday,

837
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,799
Speaker 1: and there have been others right, So how and why

838
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 1: that happens? That's above my paper. I wonder if the

839
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:07,479
Speaker 1: person that's a problem. I wonder if this wouldn't happen

840
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 1: on a point of care test. But if you know,

841
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 1: you send him to the labs, you get all these positive.

842
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,399
Speaker 1: I wonder if somebody in the healthcare at the lab

843
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: is positive and they don't know they do. Remember you

844
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,240
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I do remember that the samples

845
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 1: that I believe included the bills and the lions back

846
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:26,840
Speaker 1: in training camp time, those had been compromised at the

847
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 1: lab inadvertently. Right now, you're not going to do that

848
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 1: with a test right at the same time, and maybe

849
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 1: I've got to do a little more research on this

850
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: to explain why. But how does Brian can test positive

851
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: Tuesday evening or late Tuesday afternoon and then come back

852
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,479
Speaker 1: negative two days later. That doesn't compute for me, because

853
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 1: why should still be shedding virus and he should still

854
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 1: be positive. Now here's another thing they've got to do too,

855
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: since he tested poss because you knew he tested negative

856
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 1: the day but four otherwise he wouldn't been anywhere near

857
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 1: the practice the warm up field he tested when he

858
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:07,839
Speaker 1: tested positive. He was out on the field and doing

859
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 1: all this, and that's why everybody's arms were, Oh my gosh,

860
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 1: he was hugging all these guys and doing all this.

861
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 1: Now they still even though he's tested negative, and they

862
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 1: can have a reason to believe now that even the

863
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: point of care tests might have been a false positive

864
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:23,839
Speaker 1: or whatever, they still do contact tracing and all those

865
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,360
Speaker 1: guys that he was in contact with leading up to

866
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 1: that game and also during on the field and all that.

867
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 1: They're going to test those guys and keep them separated

868
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 1: from everybody to make sure they're not contaminated. Oh thereafter,

869
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:39,760
Speaker 1: I don't have it. Listen, if they get some false positives,

870
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 1: that's fine, Just don't give any false negatives. Right, Yeah,

871
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: are on the side of caution. Break time for us.

872
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 1: When we return, we will talk to Steelers analyst and

873
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:55,360
Speaker 1: former Steelers defensive back Ike Taylor to get some expert

874
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 1: analysis on this Steelers secondary and why it's been so

875
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 1: good this season for that defensive unit. Back with that

876
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,200

Speaker 1: Bills are one of three teams this weekend that can

899
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 1: clinch a playoff spot. Buffalo obviously needs a win paired

900
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 1: with a loss from the Ravens, Dolphins, Raiders, and Patriots.

901
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:33,319
Speaker 1: New England is first up in that list of scenarios,

902
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:35,839
Speaker 1: as they play the Rams tonight, just four days after

903
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:39,320
Speaker 1: playing the Chargers in the same stadium in La on Sunday.

904
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 1: For the NHL and the players Association still negotiating turns

905
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 1: on a return to play, there was some clarity on

906
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 1: what the divisions might look like for the twenty twenty

907
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 1: one season. According to a report from TSN, the proposed

908
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 1: four divisions will include a Canadian only group for the Sabers.

909
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 1: They would be aligned with the Bruins, Devils, Islanders, Rangers,

910
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 1: Fly Penguins, and Capitals. Wow, that is your sports update

911
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 1: from One Bill's Drive. That is a gauntlet of a division.

912
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 1: My goodness. Um, we are awaiting connection with former Steelers

913
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:18,800
Speaker 1: defensive back Ike Taylor, currently a host on the Believe

914
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 1: in Steelers podcast, and we'll get the information from him

915
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:26,280
Speaker 1: in terms of what he sees from the Steelers secondary,

916
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:29,240
Speaker 1: which is tearing it up right now in the takeaway department. Meanwhile,

917
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: the defensive front tearing it up in the sack department,

918
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 1: as they lead the league in that category. Forty four

919
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:40,799
Speaker 1: sacks Steve in twelve games. That's a lot for those

920
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,919
Speaker 1: of you, a lot. It's about three and a half

921
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 1: a game, So it's a lot they get home, it's

922
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 1: a lot. And it's a hand in hand thing as

923
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 1: we know, um, because the guys on the back end

924
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:56,839
Speaker 1: are doing their job, which is allowing some of those

925
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 1: guys up front to get home. And you know some

926
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 1: of those sacks are force and the turnovers as well

927
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 1: or the pass pressure. Anyway, I listed it earlier in

928
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 1: the first hour of the show. You know J. T. J.

929
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 1: Watt leads the league in quarterback pressures. He's got sixty

930
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 1: four in twelve games. And then Stefan too, it is

931
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: third in the league. They're defensive lineman de Yeah, he's

932
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 1: third in the league with quarterback pressure. So and Bud

933
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 1: Dupree who was second is on ir now, so they

934
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 1: are Stefan too. It was fifth excuse me. So the

935
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 1: first guy, the second guy in, the fifth, best guy

936
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:36,759
Speaker 1: in the league and generating quarterback pressure are all on

937
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:40,879
Speaker 1: the Steelers defense. My word. Yeah, there, and they bring

938
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 1: it and they haven't as you said, they really have.

939
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 1: Don't have to bring five guys or six guys to

940
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 1: get pressure. They're effective with four. And I've said this too,

941
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 1: and I remind everybody that the best defenses in the

942
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 1: league are the ones who get pressure consistently and quickly

943
00:52:57,200 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 1: with the fewest amount of guys. And that's that's just

944
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:05,440
Speaker 1: that's math um, and that's the way it works. The

945
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 1: Steelers can do that, which is why they which is

946
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 1: why their past defense is so good as well. So

947
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 1: they've it's a it's a huge challenge for the Buffalo Bills. Uh,

948
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting. I'm gonna ask um Ike Taylor

949
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 1: when he comes on in a moment. He's a former

950
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 1: defensive back. And you said this rash of drops that

951
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 1: the wide receivers from Pittsburgh had been going through, they

952
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:26,719
Speaker 1: had like seven drops this last week. It was it

953
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 1: was comical that to me is systemic. There's something going

954
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 1: on with the whole group. And to me, we were

955
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 1: just talking about it the grind that those these guys

956
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 1: are under. It's gonna show itself in a variety of

957
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:43,399
Speaker 1: ways different and it's going to be unique to each guy.

958
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 1: But also for these guys at the Steelers, I think

959
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 1: I think that them dropping the ball like they had,

960
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 1: like they did in this last game, I think that

961
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:56,879
Speaker 1: isn't an absolute symptom of being mentally tired. They didn't

962
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 1: get a bye week. They got jerked around all over

963
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 1: the map two weeks ago with their game against Baltimore,

964
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 1: and that was a big game as well. It was

965
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 1: a very important game and they had no idea when

966
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:09,319
Speaker 1: it was going to happen, much like the Bills didn't

967
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:10,880
Speaker 1: know what was going on with the Tennessee Titans in

968
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:12,840
Speaker 1: Week five, and they got pushed back till it was

969
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 1: a first game that was on a Tuesday that season,

970
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 1: right might have been anyway that to me, the drops

971
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:21,840
Speaker 1: that the Steelers are suffering from is a sign that

972
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 1: they are mentally tired. And I can feel for them.

973
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 1: In this day and age, you get, you get certain

974
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 1: things given you. When they're taken away, you really feel

975
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:32,880
Speaker 1: them when they're gone. Now, if it had never been

976
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 1: a thing that the bye weeks had been a given.

977
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 1: Guys wouldn't look forward to them. They wouldn't plan on them,

978
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 1: their families wouldn't plan on them. They wouldn't get into

979
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:43,360
Speaker 1: your mind about that being something that will help you.

980
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:45,840
Speaker 1: But when it gets taken away, I think that's a

981
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:48,400
Speaker 1: big void, particularly when it gets you feel like it

982
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 1: got stolen. I think that drops that the Steeler's been

983
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 1: going through is a sign of a very tough season

984
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 1: that they were in the midst of. We have just

985
00:54:57,239 --> 00:55:00,040
Speaker 1: learned that Ike Taylor is tied up right now. He

986
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:02,800
Speaker 1: has asked to push his time with us back to

987
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:04,840
Speaker 1: the bottom of the hour, so we will honor that

988
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:07,439
Speaker 1: and catch up with him in about twenty minutes time

989
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:11,480
Speaker 1: and reconnect with him. In the meantime, we will play

990
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:13,880
Speaker 1: the game that we intended to play at the bottom

991
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:15,880
Speaker 1: of the hour. It's the one that you all know

1007
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 1: we play this game is as follows. Steve or I

1008
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 1: will read you a tweet, usually from a disgruntled fan

1009
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 1: of either the Dolphins, the Jets, or the Patriots, and

1010
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:23,759
Speaker 1: you have to guess which fan made that comment in

1011
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 1: the social media universe. And some are vague and hard

1012
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:32,279
Speaker 1: to decipher, and that's on purpose. This is not to

1013
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 1: be made easy for you. So get online at eight

1014
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:39,360
Speaker 1: oh three five fifty or toll free one eight eight

1015
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty, and we'll give you

1016
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:46,239
Speaker 1: each a clue. And we should remind you that the

1017
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 1: person who goes first and gets the first clue if

1018
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:51,839
Speaker 1: they miss that, you're not getting the same clue. You're

1019
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 1: going to be getting a new one because obviously, if

1020
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:56,960
Speaker 1: they guess incorrectly, now you've got a fifty fifty chance

1021
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 1: to guess that clue correctly, and that would be unfair.

1022
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 1: So we move to a fresh clue with each successive

1023
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 1: caller if the one before you does not get it first,

1024
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 1: I'll say this, and this is the Christmas holiday season,

1025
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 1: so you're gonna get the shirt, the main Savage shirt,

1026
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 1: which is very I think it's one of my favorite

1027
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:18,640
Speaker 1: ones yet. And then inside of you you get an

1028
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 1: apron as well in this fan box, and I think

1029
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:23,480
Speaker 1: there's a charging buffalo cookie cutter in this one. Well, hey,

1030
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 1: there's a whole baking theme involved, right so, and this

1031
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 1: was not lost on my wife. The box is like

1032
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 1: worthy of giving. The inside of the boxes, it's like

1033
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:37,040
Speaker 1: a total bills box. Pretty cool. It's a very even

1034
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 1: the box. And I don't know if you I have

1035
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 1: a room in my house just for disguarded cardboard boxes

1036
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 1: that we may or may not need in the future.

1037
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 1: Do you have one of those? Do you keep boxes

1038
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:51,919
Speaker 1: that only during Christmas time so we can ship things

1039
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 1: out exactly gifts and whatnot, because I've got family in

1040
00:57:55,600 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 1: South Carolina and other places and so all scattered about England.

1041
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, we had I don't know what to say

1042
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 1: about the boxes we have in our house and two

1043
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 1: of us during the pandemic. I mean, well, yeah, you're

Speaker 1: are you kidding me? We've got more. I mean my

1046
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:19,320
Speaker 1: whole house could be wallpapered in cardboard. All right, Well,

Speaker 1: our queue of contestants is all lined up in ready

00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:28,720
Speaker 1: we are going to lead off with our first contestant

1050
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:31,760
Speaker 1: to play Dolphan Jets fan Pats fan, and it is

1051
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 1: Rob in cheek to wauga Rob or you're with us,

1052
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 1: you're ready to play? Yeah, siddy, guys joined today we're

1053
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 1: doing okay, all right, I am going to read you

1054
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 1: clue number one, and you tell me if you think

1055
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:45,920
Speaker 1: that's a Dolphan Jets fan or Pats fan. So the

1056
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:49,760
Speaker 1: clue reads as follows. This was a tweet made by Mike,

1057
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 1: who is a fan of one of these three teams.

1058
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:56,000
Speaker 1: He says, if our quarterback plays well down the stretch,

1059
00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 1: build a g D wall around him and a normal

1060
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:03,640
Speaker 1: roster for him and win football games. Who do we

1061
00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 1: think that is? Is that a Dolphan, a Jets fan,

1062
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:13,200
Speaker 1: or a Pats fan. I'm gonna go with the Dolphins, Rob,

1063
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 1: Why do you say Dolphin? What made you think that

1064
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 1: I just protect tour and kind of give us a

1065
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 1: run for our money down the stretch here? Yeah, well,

1066
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 1: I'm terribly sorry to report to you that that was

1067
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 1: a Jets fan that was saying that he was talking

1068
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 1: about Sam Darnold. Apparently he still wants Sam on the

1069
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 1: roster and says they got to build a g D

1070
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 1: wall around him, which is a swear word that I

1071
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 1: won't repeat on the air. So he's looking for them

1072
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 1: to build the offensive line and a normal roster for

1073
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 1: him to be successful. So I'm sorry, Rob, that is

1074
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:45,920
Speaker 1: an incorrect answer. So we have to go to our

1075
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:49,600
Speaker 1: next contestant, and the next one on the board is

1076
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 1: Ryan in Buffalo. Ryan, are you ready to play? Nope?

1077
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 1: Hold on, he's not there. Hold on a second. Let

1078
00:59:57,400 --> 01:00:01,080
Speaker 1: me pull him up. Ryan. Are you there, sir? I'm here, Okay, Sorry,

1079
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:03,600
Speaker 1: we had trouble connecting with you. There. Steve is going

1080
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 1: to read clue number two for you. Here we go,

1081
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:10,840
Speaker 1: and they are talking to the quarterback of their team. Hey,

1082
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 1: do us a favor. Stop trying to throw the football

1083
01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 1: as hard as you can on nearly every pass. That's

1084
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 1: the worst thing you can do. Piece. Is that a Dolphan,

1085
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 1: a Jets fan or a Pats fan that said that

1086
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 1: to their quarterback. I'm gonna go with a Dolphan. All right,

1087
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:34,800
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Ryan, that one is incorrect. It

1088
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 1: was a Pats fan talking about Cam Newton, who was

1089
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 1: throwing laser beams this past week. Even though they won

1090
01:00:42,720 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 1: forty five nothing, the offense wasn't a juggernaut. They got

1091
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 1: two special teams touchdowns in that game, and he was

1092
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:53,160
Speaker 1: not happy with Cam and all the extra spice he

1093
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:56,960
Speaker 1: was putting on each and every pass. Okay, we move

1094
01:00:57,040 --> 01:01:00,880
Speaker 1: along as we go to contestant number three. Who is

1095
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 1: Dave in Akron? Dave, you're ready to play Dolphan Jets

1096
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:09,760
Speaker 1: fan Pats fan, sir? Okay, here we go. The clue

1097
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:12,800
Speaker 1: this one. This was a tweet by Seth who was

1098
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:15,760
Speaker 1: a fan of one of these other afcast teams, and

1099
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:21,080
Speaker 1: he says, at least we finally had an exciting game

1100
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:24,080
Speaker 1: this season. Is that a Doll fan, a Jets fan

1101
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:31,520
Speaker 1: or a Pats fan? Jets fan? What makes you say

1102
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:33,280
Speaker 1: Jets fan? Why did you think it was a Jets

1103
01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:40,000
Speaker 1: fan game, Dave, you would be correct. Congratulations, it is

1104
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 1: in fact a Jets fan. It is uh seth and

1105
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:46,840
Speaker 1: he was he was trying to find the silver lining

1106
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:50,800
Speaker 1: in last week's last second loss at the hands of

1107
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:52,560
Speaker 1: the Raiders on a hail met while I wasn't a

1108
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 1: hail Mary. It was just a deep pass and the

1109
01:01:54,160 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 1: guy got beat and Greg Williams got fired. So right,

1110
01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:03,400
Speaker 1: wasn't exciting for Greg Williams. We know that for sure.

1111
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 1: So Dave, hang on the line. Let the guys get

1112
01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:12,160

Speaker 1: is the winner of this week's edition of dolphan Jets

1138
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 1: Fan Pats Fan. I gotta tell you, I love these

1139
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 1: tweets and I don't know, maybe it's because we've been

1140
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 1: on the wrong end of the division race the last

1141
01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 1: several years. But seeing a lot of these fans from

1142
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 1: the other teams in the division grousing and complaining about

1143
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 1: their team, it just warms my heart. Yeah, it says

1144
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:53,720
Speaker 1: something about you, I think too. Not for nothing other

1145
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:57,439
Speaker 1: people suffering, Well, we've certainly suffered enough. Come on, Yeah

1146
01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:00,680
Speaker 1: we're good. Now, we've got enough. We're ninety percent scar tissue.

1147
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:04,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, so but I righteous indignation by fans

1148
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:08,880
Speaker 1: that have been disappointed is it really is delicious? It

1149
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 1: really is when you hear it out in front. Yes,

1150
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:15,400
Speaker 1: these And it's true too that because of the structure.

1151
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 1: It's just at this point in history. I think it's

1152
01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:19,120
Speaker 1: the perfect time to do this Dolphin Jet fan pad

1153
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 1: fan because the Dolphins and the Jets kind of have

1154
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:25,480
Speaker 1: that young quarterback thing going, right, so they're kind of

1155
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 1: running parallel. And the Patriots this is the first time

1156
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:30,440
Speaker 1: in twenty years where they haven't been like in the

1157
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:32,720
Speaker 1: seat running for the first number one seed, right, so

1158
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:35,680
Speaker 1: they're like kind of in this woe is Me attitude

1159
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:37,680
Speaker 1: as well. They're a little bit in purgatory, right, And

1160
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:41,040
Speaker 1: and the way that they're all three playing different there's

1161
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:43,600
Speaker 1: always two teams in every one of these tweets that

1162
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:47,160
Speaker 1: it kind of applies to, if not all three. So

1163
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:49,920
Speaker 1: it's it really is try to find those by designs.

1164
01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:54,080
Speaker 1: I get it. Yeah, but it's just so it's just

1165
01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:57,840
Speaker 1: so delicious. It is, it's tasty. It really is the

1166
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:00,920
Speaker 1: suffering of your division rivals. I mean, I don't know

1167
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:03,800
Speaker 1: what what could bring you more satisfaction than that. It's

1168
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:10,120
Speaker 1: just a holiday spirit's um and and we've we neglected

1169
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:13,200
Speaker 1: to mention this Sunday Nights game will be the color

1170
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:16,520
Speaker 1: Rush game, So the Bills will be in their red jerseys,

1171
01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 1: which I always think pop. Oh they well red on

1172
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:24,160
Speaker 1: red pants. Well yeah, but I mean in a night

1173
01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:26,480
Speaker 1: game under the lights, I think I'm gonna pop even more.

1174
01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:31,040
Speaker 1: And with the white helm, I just I like that. Look.

1175
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 1: I don't mind the all red, but I really like

1176
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:39,120
Speaker 1: the white helmet, red jersey, white pants, which we've only

1177
01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:42,160
Speaker 1: seen once, I want to say, at any point in time,

1178
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:44,240
Speaker 1: because a lot of times, because it's a color rush game,

1179
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 1: they just go red top to bottom. Right now, the

1180
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:52,440
Speaker 1: Steelers are all black, right, um, I would have to

1181
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:55,080
Speaker 1: check on that. I don't know about that. I think

1182
01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:57,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna be white. Oh no, their color what is

1183
01:05:57,200 --> 01:05:59,280
Speaker 1: their color rush is they they're all black for color

1184
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:01,040
Speaker 1: I think they're I think they might have worn it

1185
01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:04,800
Speaker 1: up against the Yeah, I don't know what you have

1186
01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:07,160
Speaker 1: to be right, it's certainly not gonna be all yellow,

1187
01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:10,160
Speaker 1: God help us. Right they don't have one of those, Yeah,

1188
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:11,800
Speaker 1: I don't think I think it is. I think it's

1189
01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:16,080
Speaker 1: all black with the big, wide, exaggerated yellow stripes. Very similar.

1190
01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:17,920
Speaker 1: They were very nice. I think they wore those on

1191
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:20,280
Speaker 1: the in the game last week against uh yeah. For

1192
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 1: some reason. I I washing the call off the top

1193
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:26,480
Speaker 1: of my head. What their color rush combination. It's all

1194
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:29,600
Speaker 1: black with gold accents all the way around. It's very sharp,

1195
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:32,040
Speaker 1: I gotta admit, very sure they have and they have

1196
01:06:32,160 --> 01:06:36,520
Speaker 1: exaggeratedly wide stripes on their pants. And they have very

1197
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:40,880
Speaker 1: very simple, clean stripes on the on the sleeves, you know,

1198
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:43,480
Speaker 1: because usually I have like four stripes. It's kind of

1199
01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:45,680
Speaker 1: like your nineties jerseys that had just the one white

1200
01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:47,680
Speaker 1: stripe there right, we're seeing it on MSG. These are

1201
01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:49,600
Speaker 1: the old These are not the color rushmants the one

1202
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:51,920
Speaker 1: they had the other night. These these were what we

1203
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:53,640
Speaker 1: wore against Washington. That was not it. I think it

1204
01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:57,040
Speaker 1: was against Baltimore last Tuesday. They had the color Rush

1205
01:06:57,160 --> 01:07:00,400
Speaker 1: jerseys on at home. It was very clean. But I

1206
01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:03,800
Speaker 1: like them. I mean, they look sharp and but these

1207
01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:05,680
Speaker 1: are the ones we're seeing. The ones we'll probably see

1208
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:10,280
Speaker 1: on Sunday night will be probably the white jersey's gold

1209
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:12,800
Speaker 1: pants from the Steelers, right, they'll be more normal. I

1210
01:07:12,840 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't. I don't know. There are both

1211
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:16,880
Speaker 1: teams obligated to wear them. I don't know if they

1212
01:07:17,040 --> 01:07:20,000
Speaker 1: don't do. We have highlights of the Baltimore Ravens and

1213
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:26,000
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers game from last Tuesday, last Wednesday, and if

1214
01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:27,560
Speaker 1: we can, we'll see it. And then that's I think

1215
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:29,479
Speaker 1: this is what they look like, but I'm not sure

1216
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:32,880
Speaker 1: it's it's it's very clean look and it's much different

1217
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:36,040
Speaker 1: than their regular black jerseys. Yeah, I don't really. I'll

1218
01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 1: be the first to admit I don't really have my

1219
01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:39,960
Speaker 1: ear to the ground on the Color Rush combinations for

1220
01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:42,280
Speaker 1: all thirty two. I don't know clubs. I just kind

1221
01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:44,400
Speaker 1: of know the Bills one is red and that's about it, right,

1222
01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:48,000
Speaker 1: And I know the Jets go all green because we

1223
01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:51,040
Speaker 1: saw that that was the first color Rush game ever.

1224
01:07:51,160 --> 01:07:55,479
Speaker 1: It was Bill's Jets, Bills all red, Jets all green.

1225
01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:58,880
Speaker 1: And I remember my next door neighbor, he's red, green,

1226
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:02,200
Speaker 1: color blind, right I heard. I was like, hey, what'd

1227
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:03,680
Speaker 1: you think of the game. He goes, it was awful.

1228
01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:05,960
Speaker 1: I said, why, he goes, don't you remember? He goes,

1229
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:07,920
Speaker 1: I'm red, green, color blind. He goes, everything was brown.

1230
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:13,360
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Imagine watching a game like that the

1231
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:17,240
Speaker 1: last time the Bills of note that's the anniversary today

1232
01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:19,479
Speaker 1: they wore their color Rush uniforms in the snow game

1233
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:22,160
Speaker 1: that was on this date five years ago. Uh in

1234
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:24,439
Speaker 1: the stadium with the snow game with three years ago today,

1235
01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:26,639
Speaker 1: three years ago to day, not five three years ago today.

1236
01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:29,200
Speaker 1: And it was the game they won an overtime against

1237
01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:33,080
Speaker 1: the Colt Was that was dynamite. I hope that. I

1238
01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:34,840
Speaker 1: don't want. I wonder how hard it was for the

1239
01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:37,320
Speaker 1: Colts to find, you know, the quarterback, to find the

1240
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:42,120
Speaker 1: players in a snowstorm, white background on the ground for

1241
01:08:42,160 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 1: the most part, and you got a guy wearing white pants,

1242
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:46,920
Speaker 1: white jersey, white helmet. I mean, I wonder, you know

1243
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:49,560
Speaker 1: all that stuff's flying in front of you. Yeah, I

1244
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:52,320
Speaker 1: don't know how I have to believe the degree of

1245
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:55,479
Speaker 1: difficulty is at least a little higher. Right, Maybe I'm crazy,

1246
01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:59,000
Speaker 1: but we'll see. All right. So that was Dolph and

1247
01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:02,519
Speaker 1: Jets fan pats and thanks to everybody for playing. And uh,

1248
01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:05,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna try and we'll have another edition next week.

1249
01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:06,720
Speaker 1: We'll try and get Ike Taylor on here after the

1250
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:08,920
Speaker 1: bottom of the hour. He's yeah, got caught up in

1251
01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:11,840
Speaker 1: some Oh he's gonna come on. He's gonna come on. Yeah,

1252
01:09:11,880 --> 01:09:13,439
Speaker 1: we're just here now. He's gonna have to postpone. We're

1253
01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:15,200
Speaker 1: gonna get him on later in the week or maybe something.

1254
01:09:15,240 --> 01:09:20,519
Speaker 1: All right, Ike, Fine, Thanks Ike, that's way he sometimes

1255
01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:22,680
Speaker 1: things come up. So hopefully everything's all right with Ike

1256
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:26,280
Speaker 1: Taylor and his family, um, because you know he's good

1257
01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:29,240
Speaker 1: about honoring his commitments, So hopefully everything's fine. One And

1258
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:33,280
Speaker 1: I will say this because I was interested in getting,

1259
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:38,760
Speaker 1: you know, a defensive backs expertise to help describe some

1260
01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:43,280
Speaker 1: of what makes the Pittsburgh you know defensive unit is,

1261
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:48,200
Speaker 1: particularly the secondary so effective. Obviously, their vaunted pass rush

1262
01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:50,960
Speaker 1: helps them because there's a lot of wayward passes flying

1263
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:55,720
Speaker 1: their way, a lot of hurried throws. And I want

1264
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:57,560
Speaker 1: to know if there's something more to it than that.

1265
01:09:57,800 --> 01:10:01,160
Speaker 1: Like the individual ability. I think we know Minka Fitzpatrick is,

1266
01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:03,880
Speaker 1: you know, more often than not going to get voted

1267
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 1: in All Pro Safety. I mean, he is that good.

1268
01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:13,559
Speaker 1: Tremaine's brother, Terrell Edmonds, Terrell Edmonds is having a nice

1269
01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:16,519
Speaker 1: season this year. Um, It's taken him a couple of

1270
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:18,760
Speaker 1: years to really kind of come into his own, but

1271
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:21,559
Speaker 1: all indications out of Pittsburgh are that he is doing

1272
01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:23,840
Speaker 1: that and we should not forget he is a former

1273
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:25,560
Speaker 1: first round pick. He was the twenty eighth pick in

1274
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:28,920
Speaker 1: the draft, and that's why strong safety. Yeah, the Edmunds

1275
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:33,560
Speaker 1: brothers became the first brother combination to get drafted in

1276
01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:35,320
Speaker 1: the first round and then they went and did it

1277
01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 1: in the same year too. So, um, I don't think

1278
01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:44,000
Speaker 1: that's ever happening again in the NFL. That is that

1279
01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:46,320
Speaker 1: is beyond rare. Yeah, they're telling me the girl I

1280
01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:48,599
Speaker 1: was right about the Steelers Ravens that Steelers did wear

1281
01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:50,160
Speaker 1: all black people and this is what it looked like.

1282
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:54,439
Speaker 1: See that. Okay, Yeah, yeah, it's a sharp look. That

1283
01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:56,439
Speaker 1: does look nice. All right, Well, I hope they do

1284
01:10:56,520 --> 01:11:00,479
Speaker 1: wear that. The numbers seem bigger too, they are. I mean,

1285
01:11:00,479 --> 01:11:02,680
Speaker 1: it's different. It's it's it's a great it's not. Those

1286
01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:06,680
Speaker 1: are just throwback outlined white numbers that they usually not

1287
01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:10,479
Speaker 1: the throwback bumblebee jerseys that they wear, those I could

1288
01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:14,160
Speaker 1: do horrendous. I could do without those. They had that

1289
01:11:14,320 --> 01:11:17,320
Speaker 1: like crest on the front with the stripes coming straight

1290
01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:20,400
Speaker 1: down and that what I don't know what that was.

1291
01:11:20,920 --> 01:11:26,759
Speaker 1: And they're the pants in those are like skin tone.

1292
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:33,080
Speaker 1: Oh are they the beige? Yeah, some packers have that

1293
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:36,400
Speaker 1: with their throwback Also the Acne Meat Packing Company was

1294
01:11:36,439 --> 01:11:40,120
Speaker 1: like a navy blue jersey with yeah, that skin color pants.

1295
01:11:40,200 --> 01:11:44,800
Speaker 1: Those were. But the color rush of the Steelers very sharp.

1296
01:11:44,920 --> 01:11:46,599
Speaker 1: Good job in the control room, guys, but I think

1297
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:48,840
Speaker 1: you took them talk any long enough and shocking up

1298
01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:54,320
Speaker 1: that pulled pulled footage, you know. And here's what they

1299
01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:57,000
Speaker 1: say the color rush. The Steelers will not wear their

1300
01:11:57,000 --> 01:11:59,200
Speaker 1: color rush this week against the Bills because they wore

1301
01:11:59,240 --> 01:12:02,360
Speaker 1: it once and it was in October, so they can't

1302
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:04,680
Speaker 1: wear them. They cannot wear those. See again, I'm not

1303
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:07,400
Speaker 1: totally up to speed on all the color rush rules.

1304
01:12:07,439 --> 01:12:08,880
Speaker 1: You get one game to do it and then that's it.

1305
01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:11,400
Speaker 1: I guess, Okay, well, this will be the Bills game

1306
01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:13,240
Speaker 1: to do it and a good I think it's a

1307
01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:15,760
Speaker 1: good opportunity, you know, Sunday night football, pull out the

1308
01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:18,360
Speaker 1: red and let's go. Yeah, that'll be a lot of fun.

1309
01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:21,400

Speaker 1: up at one bills live on Twitter and right now.

1335
01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:48,040
Speaker 1: Leading the way is the defense will generate takeaways. Almost

1336
01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:51,240
Speaker 1: forty seven percent of you are siding with that choice.

1337
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:56,439
Speaker 1: Second most popular choices Josh camp be stopped twenty nine

1338
01:13:56,439 --> 01:13:59,800
Speaker 1: point three percent. But let's get to your thoughts on

1339
01:14:00,479 --> 01:14:03,800
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet and let me see where am i here? No,

1340
01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:07,160
Speaker 1: I'm in my gotta get over here. Give me one second.

1341
01:14:08,680 --> 01:14:13,280
Speaker 1: And first Jack A says for me, it's a which

1342
01:14:13,400 --> 01:14:17,320
Speaker 1: was defense gets takeaways. If Alan isn't lights out due

1343
01:14:17,360 --> 01:14:19,600
Speaker 1: to the Steelers defensive game plan, the dan needs to

1344
01:14:19,640 --> 01:14:22,280
Speaker 1: be stout and forced a pass happy team into some turnovers.

1345
01:14:22,600 --> 01:14:25,479
Speaker 1: That sets us up for short fields and defensive scores

1346
01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:28,120
Speaker 1: which we haven't had in forever. And Jack A is right,

1347
01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:31,559
Speaker 1: we do not have a defensive or special teams touchdown

1348
01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:34,360
Speaker 1: yet this season. Come on, man, let's get one. I

1349
01:14:34,479 --> 01:14:36,360
Speaker 1: forgot to mention the tweet sheet is always brought to

1350
01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:39,320
Speaker 1: you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company

1351
01:14:39,640 --> 01:14:41,840
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. Steve, you want to read that

1352
01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 1: second one there from Nick? Yes, I do. I think

1353
01:14:44,400 --> 01:14:46,960
Speaker 1: a steady run game and at least a decent game

1354
01:14:47,040 --> 01:14:49,519
Speaker 1: by Alan will be needed if he's not even if

1355
01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:52,439
Speaker 1: he's not in MVP form. Either way, we'll need another

1356
01:14:52,479 --> 01:14:55,639
Speaker 1: good defensive performance. If Josh is off and the defense

1357
01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:58,880
Speaker 1: reverts to early season form, we don't have a chance.

1358
01:14:59,160 --> 01:15:02,080
Speaker 1: I'll agree with that. You gotta play better. The defense

1359
01:15:02,200 --> 01:15:04,240
Speaker 1: was finding itself, had so many new faces on the

1360
01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:06,280
Speaker 1: front in the first part of the season. They didn't,

1361
01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:08,439
Speaker 1: you know, gap, integrity, all that stuff you want to

1362
01:15:08,479 --> 01:15:11,679
Speaker 1: hear about. They're not there now and there's no reason

1363
01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:14,040
Speaker 1: to think they're going to revert to that. But they

1364
01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:16,040
Speaker 1: still have to play well to beat the Steelers. This

1365
01:15:16,120 --> 01:15:17,640
Speaker 1: is a good football team and they're gonna have to

1366
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:20,000
Speaker 1: hit hit on at least most of their cylinders to

1367
01:15:20,040 --> 01:15:22,160
Speaker 1: beat them, if not all. I do find it interesting

1368
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:25,920
Speaker 1: that and we talked to Bob Labriola from Steelers dot

1369
01:15:25,960 --> 01:15:29,040
Speaker 1: Com about this yesterday, that you know, the sky is

1370
01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:32,960
Speaker 1: falling in Pittsburgh after one loss. But there's been some

1371
01:15:33,320 --> 01:15:37,840
Speaker 1: consternation building there in the Steel City because of their

1372
01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:41,879
Speaker 1: inability to run the football, and I think James Conner's

1373
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:46,160
Speaker 1: absence is part and parcel the reason for that. But

1374
01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:49,880
Speaker 1: they have been very critical of their offensive line play

1375
01:15:50,080 --> 01:15:52,519
Speaker 1: and how it just has not been a good blend

1376
01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:55,320
Speaker 1: this year for them. In the run game. I mean,

1377
01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:58,479
Speaker 1: you could say what you will, Let's see where are they.

1378
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:01,040
Speaker 1: They are twenty ninth in Russia. I mean, that's not

1379
01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:04,480
Speaker 1: going to get it done, and that's not helping Roethlisberger

1380
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:07,040
Speaker 1: much in the passing game. So right, well, they've got

1381
01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:10,519
Speaker 1: and this is really what it amounts to veteran days.

1382
01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:13,960
Speaker 1: They guard David de Castro and the tackle Alejandro Villaneueva.

1383
01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:17,400
Speaker 1: Those guys took days off yesterday because you know it's Wednesday,

1384
01:16:17,439 --> 01:16:20,040
Speaker 1: in the middle of deep into the season. Their offensive

1385
01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:23,160
Speaker 1: line has not been as dominant as it was two

1386
01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:26,000
Speaker 1: or three four years ago, and certainly it's not as

1387
01:16:26,080 --> 01:16:29,800
Speaker 1: dominant as it was when Levian Bell was running behind him.

1388
01:16:30,960 --> 01:16:33,080
Speaker 1: It's hard to sustain that excellence for a long time,

1389
01:16:33,160 --> 01:16:35,160
Speaker 1: and it's hard to say goodbye to really good players

1390
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:38,440
Speaker 1: who have played for you. I don't know that Villaneueva

1391
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:40,600
Speaker 1: or de Castro. I don't know how you know what

1392
01:16:40,720 --> 01:16:43,120
Speaker 1: their situation is. But their offensive line is not getting

1393
01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:48,479
Speaker 1: as much production as it did and part of its age,

1394
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:51,200
Speaker 1: part of it's probably nicked up in injuries, and part

1395
01:16:51,240 --> 01:16:53,680
Speaker 1: of it obviously is the fact that Connor's not in

1396
01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:56,120
Speaker 1: there so well. And what else could help them would

1397
01:16:56,160 --> 01:16:58,680
Speaker 1: be the return of Mark's Palency, their center off the

1398
01:16:58,760 --> 01:17:01,679
Speaker 1: COVID reserve list. He's not off it yet, but there's

1399
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:04,760
Speaker 1: a chance that happens before Sunday night, and a lot

1400
01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:06,920
Speaker 1: of people in Pittsburgh tell me he is the guy

1401
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:09,640
Speaker 1: that kind of drives that line. So if he's back in,

1402
01:17:09,840 --> 01:17:12,320
Speaker 1: that's a lift for them there as well. So something

1403
01:17:12,400 --> 01:17:15,120
Speaker 1: to certainly keep an eye on through the course of

1404
01:17:15,320 --> 01:17:18,519
Speaker 1: the week. From Chris on the tweet sheet, I voted

1405
01:17:18,680 --> 01:17:22,519
Speaker 1: d Josh is on fire. He wants that MVP bat

1406
01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:25,160
Speaker 1: to prove all the haters wrong. I think you will

1407
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:28,040
Speaker 1: light up the Steelers defense. Plus I believe he's going

1408
01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:31,040
Speaker 1: to put up four hundred plus yards with four touchdowns

1409
01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:34,160
Speaker 1: on Sunday Night. He's made for prime time. He can't

1410
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:36,840
Speaker 1: be stopped and he won't be stopped. Air it out, Josh,

1411
01:17:36,920 --> 01:17:40,519
Speaker 1: go Bill. That guy's ready for the game. Now that

1412
01:17:40,720 --> 01:17:46,200
Speaker 1: is another Monday Night twenty twenty right there. He might

1413
01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:48,639
Speaker 1: be a little punch drunk on the Monday night performance.

1414
01:17:48,680 --> 01:17:52,360
Speaker 1: I get it. This is a whole different animal they're

1415
01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:55,200
Speaker 1: going against this week in terms of this Steelers defense.

1416
01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:57,560
Speaker 1: It is not to be trifled with. This is not

1417
01:17:57,680 --> 01:17:59,559
Speaker 1: to be taken lightly. I will say this, and I'll

1418
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:01,120
Speaker 1: go out on him and say they haven't faced an

1419
01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:02,920
Speaker 1: offense like this one, you know, the way it's playing,

1420
01:18:02,960 --> 01:18:04,800
Speaker 1: they haven't. I don't know if the Bills have faced

1421
01:18:04,840 --> 01:18:07,040
Speaker 1: a defense like this money either though. That's why there's

1422
01:18:07,040 --> 01:18:09,120
Speaker 1: a little bit of uncertainty. Probably on both sides. They

1423
01:18:09,200 --> 01:18:11,920
Speaker 1: know what they're looking at these this defense is really good.

1424
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:14,240
Speaker 1: But if they I mean, think about what the Steelers

1425
01:18:14,240 --> 01:18:15,640
Speaker 1: are looking at when they see Josh and the way

1426
01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:19,840
Speaker 1: he played against the Niners are They're like I saw

1427
01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:24,000
Speaker 1: on Twitter today, these guys some people are putting up

1428
01:18:24,040 --> 01:18:26,360
Speaker 1: Josh's throws and they're going these look like they've been

1429
01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:31,240
Speaker 1: digitally enhanced. And there's a couple of them where I

1430
01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:33,000
Speaker 1: get what they're saying. When he's on the run out

1431
01:18:33,040 --> 01:18:34,800
Speaker 1: to the right, he throws the one down sidelines on

1432
01:18:34,960 --> 01:18:37,280
Speaker 1: from the end zone view throwing to Cole Beasley on

1433
01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:40,240
Speaker 1: the sidelines deep. It looks like the last ten yards

1434
01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:43,400
Speaker 1: of that ball looked like they were digitally changed on

1435
01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:47,280
Speaker 1: the on the film, it's he's he can he They're

1436
01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:49,160
Speaker 1: gonna have to delay. I mean, they're gonna have to

1437
01:18:49,240 --> 01:18:51,479
Speaker 1: cover the whole field. I think one of the things

1438
01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:55,120
Speaker 1: that I saw in the game on Monday night that

1439
01:18:55,200 --> 01:18:58,479
Speaker 1: i'm I spoke about on the broadcast was and this

1440
01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:01,600
Speaker 1: is how creative day ball is. And I love the

1441
01:19:01,720 --> 01:19:04,720
Speaker 1: concept and I love the idea, and it seemed to

1442
01:19:04,760 --> 01:19:07,920
Speaker 1: me like maybe a little bit of an experiment. But

1443
01:19:08,160 --> 01:19:09,960
Speaker 1: if you'll recall one of the plays, it was an

1444
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:15,160
Speaker 1: incompletion now but forget about that part of it. Josh

1445
01:19:15,240 --> 01:19:18,160
Speaker 1: takes the snap back and doesn't run away from the

1446
01:19:18,200 --> 01:19:20,680
Speaker 1: line of scrim doesn't turn and you know, cock his

1447
01:19:20,800 --> 01:19:24,040
Speaker 1: hips and run foot over foot in a drop. He

1448
01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:29,439
Speaker 1: just back pedals and keeps backpedaling, and he keeps back pedaling. Yeah,

1449
01:19:29,479 --> 01:19:31,599
Speaker 1: there was a rush too. They had a four. They

1450
01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:35,240
Speaker 1: had like a I don't know, it's not the five

1451
01:19:35,320 --> 01:19:37,920
Speaker 1: yard line or something real down clothes where the field compresses.

1452
01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:43,160
Speaker 1: He backed up deliberately, and what happens is that expands

1453
01:19:43,280 --> 01:19:47,439
Speaker 1: the space between the defensive line, linebackers and secondary Even

1454
01:19:47,520 --> 01:19:49,719
Speaker 1: in a compressed field, you just give up the ground

1455
01:19:50,200 --> 01:19:53,080
Speaker 1: knowing that your quarterback, Josh can still make the throat

1456
01:19:53,120 --> 01:19:55,680
Speaker 1: of the corner of the end zone. But they now

1457
01:19:55,720 --> 01:19:57,880
Speaker 1: they've got to cover on your side of the field.

1458
01:19:58,160 --> 01:19:59,599
Speaker 1: They got to cover on your side of the line

1459
01:19:59,640 --> 01:20:02,120
Speaker 1: of scrim I thought it was brilliantly done. And he

1460
01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:04,679
Speaker 1: looked and he ended up I think, almost throwing it away.

1461
01:20:06,080 --> 01:20:09,200
Speaker 1: But the concept and how creative you've got to be

1462
01:20:09,840 --> 01:20:11,120
Speaker 1: to say, all right, you know what, we need some

1463
01:20:11,200 --> 01:20:14,360
Speaker 1: more space. Let's just give him some of ours and

1464
01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:17,680
Speaker 1: so and he backs up. The reason for that, the

1465
01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:20,479
Speaker 1: reason you don't feel like you're giving up anything, is

1466
01:20:20,520 --> 01:20:22,479
Speaker 1: because Josh can still get it to the places he

1467
01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:25,360
Speaker 1: needs to despite dropping to that kind of a depth.

1468
01:20:25,400 --> 01:20:28,000
Speaker 1: And then number two, the benefit is if he needs

1469
01:20:28,040 --> 01:20:30,320
Speaker 1: to check it down, there's more space underneath based on

1470
01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:33,400
Speaker 1: the ground you've just and the only thing, the only

1471
01:20:33,479 --> 01:20:38,000
Speaker 1: thing you're risking is want to throw away that you're

1472
01:20:38,040 --> 01:20:40,080
Speaker 1: not risking on a normal on a normal round. And

1473
01:20:40,120 --> 01:20:41,960
Speaker 1: the only thing you're risking that you wouldn't risk anyway

1474
01:20:41,960 --> 01:20:44,920
Speaker 1: if you're throwing the football is checking it down for

1475
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:47,720
Speaker 1: a loss instead of checking it down for a no

1476
01:20:47,840 --> 01:20:50,840
Speaker 1: gain or a plus three or two yard gain. And

1477
01:20:51,800 --> 01:20:55,400
Speaker 1: at that point of the field, you know you're who cares, right,

1478
01:20:55,520 --> 01:20:57,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you're you're down there close. They still gotta

1479
01:20:57,800 --> 01:21:00,320
Speaker 1: the whole the field is still small. So think it's

1480
01:21:00,320 --> 01:21:04,439
Speaker 1: a really really nice idea by Brian Dable to give

1481
01:21:04,520 --> 01:21:06,800
Speaker 1: the defense some of your ground that they also have

1482
01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:10,639
Speaker 1: to defend and then make them spread them that much

1483
01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:13,200
Speaker 1: thinner in the red zone before Josh, And with a

1484
01:21:13,280 --> 01:21:15,439
Speaker 1: quarterback like Josh, he could still gun it to the

1485
01:21:15,479 --> 01:21:17,479
Speaker 1: back of the end to read into one play. But

1486
01:21:17,680 --> 01:21:19,720
Speaker 1: I get what you're saying. But right the only reason

1487
01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:21,840
Speaker 1: I think about it is because it was deliberate. Josh

1488
01:21:22,120 --> 01:21:25,759
Speaker 1: took off and ran back and and it was deliberate.

1489
01:21:25,800 --> 01:21:27,360
Speaker 1: And I don't know that it was a screen pass,

1490
01:21:27,479 --> 01:21:29,320
Speaker 1: you know, because you'll see that a quarterback drops, back,

1491
01:21:29,360 --> 01:21:31,720
Speaker 1: stops and then backups like he's in trouble. Then he

1492
01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:34,160
Speaker 1: dunks it right behind the guys. I don't it was

1493
01:21:34,240 --> 01:21:36,880
Speaker 1: something different than that, and I was really intrigued by it.

1494
01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:39,920
Speaker 1: I gotta go back and find that play from Addicted

1495
01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:43,560
Speaker 1: to Golf. On the tweet sheet, I went with a

1496
01:21:44,479 --> 01:21:47,680
Speaker 1: takeaways by the defense. Their offense hasn't looked good in

1497
01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:50,120
Speaker 1: a few weeks, lots of drop passes. I think we

1498
01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:53,080
Speaker 1: can force turnovers and four and outs. Let's hope maybe

1499
01:21:53,120 --> 01:21:55,840
Speaker 1: our run game can bail us out. If Josh is

1500
01:21:55,880 --> 01:22:01,599
Speaker 1: well contained run game, picking up the slack would be nice.

1501
01:22:02,080 --> 01:22:04,920
Speaker 1: There are times where we've seen the Bills run game

1502
01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:09,400
Speaker 1: help them get a victory Patriots in Week eight. They

1503
01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:12,760
Speaker 1: helped against the Chargers as well, where they actually ran

1504
01:22:12,840 --> 01:22:15,639
Speaker 1: the ball more than they threw it in the Chargers game,

1505
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:18,320
Speaker 1: ran a thirty times, pasted it twenty five times. So

1506
01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:24,000
Speaker 1: they have shown an ability to give the run game

1507
01:22:24,040 --> 01:22:26,160
Speaker 1: the opportunity to pick up the slack. I don't know

1508
01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:28,479
Speaker 1: if they want to live and die by it, but

1509
01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:31,080
Speaker 1: it is something they may have to turn to. And

1510
01:22:32,360 --> 01:22:35,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we know that, you know, the

1511
01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:37,800
Speaker 1: Steelers are six against the run. They're a good group,

1512
01:22:38,120 --> 01:22:41,920
Speaker 1: so yeah, I don't know. I think you have to

1513
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:46,200
Speaker 1: be careful with just quickly turning to that and saying, well,

1514
01:22:46,240 --> 01:22:47,920
Speaker 1: we'll just run the ball and be good there. Well,

1515
01:22:47,960 --> 01:22:50,720
Speaker 1: you gotta here's what day ball do. And we say

1516
01:22:50,720 --> 01:22:52,400
Speaker 1: this all the time. He's gonna look for matchups where

1517
01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:54,080
Speaker 1: he thinks you can win. And he's all and also,

1518
01:22:54,200 --> 01:22:56,400
Speaker 1: I mean, there's certain matchups you have no choice about.

1519
01:22:57,000 --> 01:22:59,080
Speaker 1: Your center is going to be on whoever is over

1520
01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:03,240
Speaker 1: his head guards, the same way you're the guys up front.

1521
01:23:03,280 --> 01:23:05,920
Speaker 1: The offensive line is gonna be matched up depending on

1522
01:23:06,040 --> 01:23:10,680
Speaker 1: who the Steelers decide to send. Everybody else you can

1523
01:23:10,800 --> 01:23:13,200
Speaker 1: maybe have a chance at deciding who you want matched

1524
01:23:13,280 --> 01:23:17,439
Speaker 1: up where by move by personnel combinations, motion and shifts,

1525
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:19,800
Speaker 1: you might be able to get the guy you want

1526
01:23:19,880 --> 01:23:22,000
Speaker 1: depending on what the Steelers think they want to do.

1527
01:23:22,560 --> 01:23:25,080
Speaker 1: But the five guys whose matchups you don't get to

1528
01:23:25,160 --> 01:23:30,080
Speaker 1: dictate are the offensive line. That's where this whole game is.

1529
01:23:31,880 --> 01:23:36,160
Speaker 1: Josh absolutely carved up the forty nine ers because he

1530
01:23:36,320 --> 01:23:39,400
Speaker 1: was not under pressure, not very much, and it certainly

1531
01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:41,599
Speaker 1: wasn't an a significant pressure where he couldn't easily roll

1532
01:23:41,680 --> 01:23:43,360
Speaker 1: out the web side. He just rolled away from it

1533
01:23:43,520 --> 01:23:46,240
Speaker 1: and he made it. And that's another thing with another conversation.

1534
01:23:46,280 --> 01:23:49,240
Speaker 1: He made it look easy. But the pressure. Never got

1535
01:23:49,280 --> 01:23:51,679
Speaker 1: to guess at once, and that was on a clean beat,

1536
01:23:52,720 --> 01:23:56,679
Speaker 1: right off the edge. He had time to throw the football.

1537
01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:59,759
Speaker 1: If he has that kind of time against the Steelers,

1538
01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:03,240
Speaker 1: they'll get carved up two. But the simple fact of

1539
01:24:03,280 --> 01:24:07,080
Speaker 1: the matter is the Steelers are much better upfront than

1540
01:24:07,120 --> 01:24:08,640
Speaker 1: the Niners were, and you're not going to get that

1541
01:24:08,760 --> 01:24:11,920
Speaker 1: kind of time, not as often. When you do get it,

1542
01:24:12,040 --> 01:24:14,000
Speaker 1: you better use it, you better be effective, and when

1543
01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:17,280
Speaker 1: you don't, you better have an answer from Brooke on

1544
01:24:17,439 --> 01:24:19,840
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet. I think I'm a mix of A

1545
01:24:20,120 --> 01:24:23,240
Speaker 1: B and D. I think if they can produce turnovers,

1546
01:24:23,360 --> 01:24:25,920
Speaker 1: Alan can get points on the board by any means,

1547
01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:29,559
Speaker 1: and the run game can shoot the clock. With all

1548
01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:32,000
Speaker 1: of that, we'd be able to win. That's asking for

1549
01:24:32,080 --> 01:24:34,840
Speaker 1: a lot, though, isn't it, Like, well, well, yeah, the

1550
01:24:34,920 --> 01:24:38,400
Speaker 1: defense get takeaways, Josh can't be stopped, and the run

1551
01:24:38,439 --> 01:24:40,920
Speaker 1: game picks up the slack. I mean we're asking to

1552
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:43,800
Speaker 1: pick one, right, Brook's out here picking three. This isn't

1553
01:24:43,880 --> 01:24:47,439
Speaker 1: like shopping for deals. Yeah you gotta pick one. Yeah,

1554
01:24:47,560 --> 01:24:53,640
Speaker 1: what's come on? Brook? And Yeah, I get it, I

1555
01:24:53,760 --> 01:24:57,519
Speaker 1: get it. But we're trying to decide what we think

1556
01:24:57,600 --> 01:24:59,439
Speaker 1: the game will look like if it if it goes

1557
01:25:00,560 --> 01:25:04,000
Speaker 1: and I'll say this, I mean, the Bill's offense absolutely

1558
01:25:04,080 --> 01:25:07,600
Speaker 1: positively took that game over on Monday Night, and the

1559
01:25:07,680 --> 01:25:12,560
Speaker 1: Bill's defense was successful and in large measure because of

1560
01:25:12,640 --> 01:25:14,960
Speaker 1: their own good play, but also because of the desperation

1561
01:25:15,160 --> 01:25:17,439
Speaker 1: that the Niners were under because they could not stop

1562
01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:19,920
Speaker 1: the other side and the other offense. So this office,

1563
01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:22,160
Speaker 1: so Kyle Shannon said, listen, we gotta get, we gotta go,

1564
01:25:23,320 --> 01:25:26,400
Speaker 1: we gotta go. And when their running game wasn't working

1565
01:25:26,439 --> 01:25:28,160
Speaker 1: like it should have, which is a testament to how

1566
01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:30,559
Speaker 1: good the Bill's defense played, then they started getting turnovers

1567
01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:33,479
Speaker 1: in the second half and it all came apart for him.

1568
01:25:34,160 --> 01:25:37,280
Speaker 1: But if you know, if Josh's gonna come out and

1569
01:25:37,280 --> 01:25:40,639
Speaker 1: they're gonna hang twenty one points up in three straight

1570
01:25:40,760 --> 01:25:44,200
Speaker 1: drives in the first half, yeah, the Steelers, you know

1571
01:25:44,320 --> 01:25:46,519
Speaker 1: they're gonna do what they can to you know, that's

1572
01:25:46,560 --> 01:25:49,320
Speaker 1: your run defense right there. Yeah, you know this. Ben

1573
01:25:49,439 --> 01:25:51,400
Speaker 1: Rothsberg will say, listen, let's just throw it. Let's go,

1574
01:25:51,880 --> 01:25:53,360
Speaker 1: And they're there and they're gonna be off and run.

1575
01:25:53,439 --> 01:25:57,000
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a track meet, but this could be.

1576
01:25:57,160 --> 01:25:59,120
Speaker 1: But Josh is gonna have to do that offensively for

1577
01:25:59,200 --> 01:26:02,559
Speaker 1: that to happen. And I don't know. I haven't seen

1578
01:26:02,680 --> 01:26:04,479
Speaker 1: enough of the Steelers. I still have some tape to watch.

1579
01:26:05,880 --> 01:26:07,840
Speaker 1: Have you watched some of their games yet? Yeah? I

1580
01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:11,000
Speaker 1: watched the game live, I watched the Ravens game live,

1581
01:26:11,080 --> 01:26:15,960
Speaker 1: and I watched the Washington game most of it. There

1582
01:26:16,040 --> 01:26:20,880
Speaker 1: have been some observers that are wondering if Roethlisberger's arm

1583
01:26:20,960 --> 01:26:24,160
Speaker 1: strength is still there, and I think it's rooted in

1584
01:26:25,280 --> 01:26:29,280
Speaker 1: the fact that the Steelers have not tried to go

1585
01:26:29,400 --> 01:26:31,840
Speaker 1: over the top all that much through the course of

1586
01:26:31,960 --> 01:26:34,640
Speaker 1: this season. Now, maybe part of the reason why is

1587
01:26:34,640 --> 01:26:36,920
Speaker 1: they've been ahead in most of their games and didn't

1588
01:26:36,920 --> 01:26:40,160
Speaker 1: really need to take shots down the field. But knowing

1589
01:26:40,240 --> 01:26:42,880
Speaker 1: that he's coming off that major elbow surgery from last year,

1590
01:26:42,920 --> 01:26:45,400
Speaker 1: in his throwing arm, I think there are people out

1591
01:26:45,439 --> 01:26:48,360
Speaker 1: there that are wondering, Hey, is his arm never going

1592
01:26:48,439 --> 01:26:52,080
Speaker 1: to be the same because we know for the majority

1593
01:26:52,120 --> 01:26:56,320
Speaker 1: of his career he's had a cannon. I want to

1594
01:26:56,320 --> 01:26:59,400
Speaker 1: watch some of their games and see if there's something

1595
01:26:59,479 --> 01:27:01,479
Speaker 1: to be said for that or some kind of validity

1596
01:27:01,520 --> 01:27:04,800
Speaker 1: to thirty eight. Well, right, so that's a conversation we

1597
01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:06,760
Speaker 1: will revisit when we return here. We got to take

1598
01:27:06,800 --> 01:27:09,439
Speaker 1: a break now, but we will talk about that and

1599
01:27:09,560 --> 01:27:11,560
Speaker 1: get more of your comments on the tweet sheet and

1600
01:27:11,720 --> 01:27:14,320
Speaker 1: coming up at the top of the hour, don't forget

1601
01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:18,920
Speaker 1: from NBC's Sunday Night Football, Chris Collinsworth will be joining

1602
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:21,720
Speaker 1: us in about fifteen minutes. Stay tuned more to come

1603
01:27:21,800 --> 01:27:24,080
Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health. It's

1604
01:27:24,080 --> 01:27:38,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you our

1605
01:27:38,320 --> 01:27:41,880
Speaker 1: number two of One Bills Live Thursday edition. And when

1606
01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:44,760
Speaker 1: we went to break, we were discussing the merits of

1607
01:27:45,240 --> 01:27:49,919
Speaker 1: Penn Roethlisberger's arm strength a year removed from major elbow surgery.

1608
01:27:50,479 --> 01:27:54,040
Speaker 1: And there are some that have seen most of Pittsburgh's

1609
01:27:54,080 --> 01:27:58,519
Speaker 1: games that openly wonder if Roethlisberger still has, you know,

1610
01:27:58,600 --> 01:28:01,479
Speaker 1: the howitzer he's had for most of his career coming

1611
01:28:01,520 --> 01:28:04,880
Speaker 1: off major elbow surgery. And you know, you look at

1612
01:28:04,920 --> 01:28:07,680
Speaker 1: his numbers, and I don't know if that's a way

1613
01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:11,200
Speaker 1: to ascertain whether or not, you know, his arm is

1614
01:28:11,240 --> 01:28:15,200
Speaker 1: the same as it's always been. He is for the

1615
01:28:15,360 --> 01:28:18,960
Speaker 1: season at this point in time, averaging just six point

1616
01:28:19,040 --> 01:28:21,040
Speaker 1: four to two yards per attempt. That is a little

1617
01:28:21,160 --> 01:28:25,439
Speaker 1: down from what I believe his career numbers are. And

1618
01:28:27,280 --> 01:28:30,080
Speaker 1: taking deep shots, they haven't made a ton of those

1619
01:28:30,960 --> 01:28:33,400
Speaker 1: through the course of the season. Now, as we said,

1620
01:28:33,439 --> 01:28:35,639
Speaker 1: it could be a byproduct of how the games have unfolded.

1621
01:28:35,680 --> 01:28:38,479
Speaker 1: They've been ahead on the scoreboard a good deal. Well

1622
01:28:38,520 --> 01:28:40,759
Speaker 1: they haven't. I mean, I told you, I mean yesterday

1623
01:28:40,800 --> 01:28:43,519
Speaker 1: we made the comment, Brownie, they're throwing it all over

1624
01:28:43,600 --> 01:28:45,840
Speaker 1: the yard. Yeah, they are throwing it a lot. They

1625
01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:49,000
Speaker 1: threw it in the last six games, in the last

1626
01:28:49,080 --> 01:28:52,240
Speaker 1: four games forty six times against Cincinnati, forty six times

1627
01:28:52,240 --> 01:28:56,200
Speaker 1: against Jacksonville. And they were Cincinnati in Jacksonville. Now, yes,

1628
01:28:56,360 --> 01:28:59,080
Speaker 1: two teams that are struggling badly, but through it forty

1629
01:28:59,120 --> 01:29:01,680
Speaker 1: six times a piece. But I think the point to

1630
01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:05,200
Speaker 1: be made here is there seems to be a design

1631
01:29:05,479 --> 01:29:07,880
Speaker 1: to get the ball out of Roethlisberger's hands quickly. He's

1632
01:29:07,880 --> 01:29:09,400
Speaker 1: been at the top of the league in terms of

1633
01:29:09,479 --> 01:29:13,760
Speaker 1: time of release point. I think he's averaging somewhere around

1634
01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:18,200
Speaker 1: two point six seconds that's his average released or two

1635
01:29:18,280 --> 01:29:22,680
Speaker 1: points sorry, two point four seconds average release time. They

1636
01:29:22,760 --> 01:29:25,160
Speaker 1: have him getting the ball out quick, which obviously makes

1637
01:29:25,200 --> 01:29:28,679
Speaker 1: throwing the ball deep significantly more difficult. Because guys can't

1638
01:29:28,680 --> 01:29:30,120
Speaker 1: get down the field as far if you're getting the

1639
01:29:30,160 --> 01:29:32,160
Speaker 1: ball out of your hand that fast. So is that

1640
01:29:32,280 --> 01:29:35,000
Speaker 1: a design element as to why they're not going deep

1641
01:29:35,080 --> 01:29:38,880
Speaker 1: as much, or is there something being hidden there with

1642
01:29:39,120 --> 01:29:41,840
Speaker 1: respect to Roethlisberger's arm strength and say, hey, let's go

1643
01:29:42,040 --> 01:29:44,560
Speaker 1: we got some talented receivers that can get early separation.

1644
01:29:45,000 --> 01:29:48,519
Speaker 1: Let's not tax Ben's arm unnecessarily. Let's go short, intermediate

1645
01:29:48,600 --> 01:29:49,720
Speaker 1: most of the way. And if it's where can we

1646
01:29:49,760 --> 01:29:53,200
Speaker 1: stick with it? I don't know if it's design or

1647
01:29:53,320 --> 01:29:55,679
Speaker 1: hiding what it is? What it is. The guy's thirty

1648
01:29:55,720 --> 01:29:58,519
Speaker 1: eight years old, he's coming off major elbow surgery, and

1649
01:29:59,120 --> 01:30:00,920
Speaker 1: they don't want him to get hit on the ground,

1650
01:30:01,000 --> 01:30:03,559
Speaker 1: so their passing game is just that get out, get

1651
01:30:03,600 --> 01:30:05,240
Speaker 1: it out. So it may be more of an exercise

1652
01:30:05,280 --> 01:30:08,160
Speaker 1: in an he's thirty eight, Yeah, so there. I think

1653
01:30:08,200 --> 01:30:09,640
Speaker 1: it's a I don't think you're I think you're right.

1654
01:30:09,760 --> 01:30:12,840
Speaker 1: It's a design around what he does best now at

1655
01:30:12,920 --> 01:30:16,320
Speaker 1: thirty eight, at coming off elbow surgery. The last three games,

1656
01:30:16,360 --> 01:30:18,639
Speaker 1: they the last two games I told you forty six

1657
01:30:18,680 --> 01:30:22,599
Speaker 1: against Cincinnati, forty six against Jacksonville, then against Baltimore last Tuesday,

1658
01:30:22,720 --> 01:30:25,200
Speaker 1: fifty one times they threw it, and then against Washington

1659
01:30:25,240 --> 01:30:28,559
Speaker 1: this last week when there was a strug fifty three times.

1660
01:30:29,400 --> 01:30:31,240
Speaker 1: I mean, and if you're gonna throw it that much,

1661
01:30:31,479 --> 01:30:33,479
Speaker 1: you do run the risk of getting your quarterback hit.

1662
01:30:33,560 --> 01:30:36,120
Speaker 1: So why not design a passing game that focus is

1663
01:30:36,160 --> 01:30:40,400
Speaker 1: on short to get it out quick and absolutely a design? Yeah, absolutely,

1664

Speaker 1: On the other side of the ball, the Steelers defense

01:31:53,800 --> 01:31:57,080
Speaker 1: is dealing with a rash of injuries. Linebacker Roberts Flane

01:32:28,680 --> 01:32:32,000
Speaker 1: selected charity. Bills now one of three teams this weekend

1694
01:32:32,360 --> 01:32:35,240
Speaker 1: that can clinch a playoff spot. Bills obviously need a

1695
01:32:35,280 --> 01:32:39,000
Speaker 1: win paired with some help, namely a loss from the Ravens, Dolphins, Raiders,

1696
01:32:39,040 --> 01:32:41,720
Speaker 1: and Patriots. New England is first up in that list

1697
01:32:42,040 --> 01:32:44,519
Speaker 1: of scenarios, as they played the Rams tonight, just four

1698
01:32:44,600 --> 01:32:47,960
Speaker 1: days after playing the Chargers at Sofi Stadium on Sunday,

1699
01:32:48,280 --> 01:32:51,080
Speaker 1: and with the NHL and the Players Association still negotiating

1700
01:32:51,240 --> 01:32:54,240
Speaker 1: terms on a return to play, there was some clarity

1701
01:32:54,560 --> 01:32:57,439
Speaker 1: on what the divisions might look like for the upcoming season.

1702
01:32:57,520 --> 01:33:01,320
Speaker 1: According to a report from TSN, posed four divisions will

1703
01:33:01,360 --> 01:33:05,320
Speaker 1: include a Canadian only group, and for the Sabers they

1704
01:33:05,400 --> 01:33:09,559
Speaker 1: would be aligned with the Bruins, Devils, Islanders, Rangers, Flyers,

1705
01:33:09,640 --> 01:33:14,479
Speaker 1: Penguins and Capitals. That is your sports update from one

01:33:33,200 --> 01:33:37,880
Speaker 1: slide right into the side of our our simulcast here

1723
01:34:14,520 --> 01:34:16,160
Speaker 1: being on with us. What do you think this? Uh,

1724
01:34:16,479 --> 01:34:19,320
Speaker 1: this deep end of the season and the Steelers coming

1725
01:34:19,360 --> 01:34:22,000
Speaker 1: into Buffalo on a Monday night or Sunday night, a

1726
01:34:22,080 --> 01:34:24,679
Speaker 1: Sunday night, this is a this is a good game.

1727
01:34:24,840 --> 01:34:27,280
Speaker 1: I mean, are you do you feel like this is

1728
01:34:27,320 --> 01:34:29,280
Speaker 1: going to be the kind of game we anticipated being.

1729
01:34:29,720 --> 01:34:31,840
Speaker 1: I think the Steelers are a really good football team

1730
01:34:31,880 --> 01:34:33,680
Speaker 1: and the Bills are peaking here at the end of

1731
01:34:33,720 --> 01:34:38,120
Speaker 1: the season as well. Yeah, you know, it's it's interesting

1732
01:34:38,200 --> 01:34:42,320
Speaker 1: after coming off with last weekend's games and the Steelers

1733
01:34:42,720 --> 01:34:46,040
Speaker 1: struggling offensively, right, I mean, this is a different If

1734
01:34:46,080 --> 01:34:50,280
Speaker 1: you haven't seen the Steelers play here lately, they they're

1735
01:34:50,360 --> 01:34:54,639
Speaker 1: a very quick passing team. Now they went from Ben

1736
01:34:54,800 --> 01:35:00,400
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger stiff arming guys moving around, you know, him with

1737
01:35:00,439 --> 01:35:05,479
Speaker 1: his forearm keeping him off of him, pump faking, you know,

1738
01:35:05,800 --> 01:35:08,880
Speaker 1: four seconds later hitting Antonio Brown in the corner of

1739
01:35:08,920 --> 01:35:11,960
Speaker 1: the end zone to now they get it out faster

1740
01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:14,920
Speaker 1: than any other team. It's like between two point zero

1741
01:35:15,000 --> 01:35:17,800
Speaker 1: and two point two seconds. And they don't run the

1742
01:35:17,840 --> 01:35:20,160
Speaker 1: ball well. I mean, they really do not run the

1743
01:35:20,240 --> 01:35:24,360
Speaker 1: ball well. And in the game last week they really struggled.

1744
01:35:24,400 --> 01:35:27,519
Speaker 1: They had so many times that they would have just

1745
01:35:27,680 --> 01:35:30,080
Speaker 1: put the game away if they could have gained the yard.

1746
01:35:30,280 --> 01:35:32,200
Speaker 1: I mean, whether it was on the goal line, whether

1747
01:35:32,200 --> 01:35:34,639
Speaker 1: it was on third and one, fourth and one, whatever

1748
01:35:34,720 --> 01:35:37,880
Speaker 1: the case may be. So they're hurting a little bit

1749
01:35:38,040 --> 01:35:41,120
Speaker 1: on the offensive side, and meanwhile Josh goes out and

1750
01:35:41,320 --> 01:35:45,519
Speaker 1: plays like I was literally blinking my eyes watching that

1751
01:35:45,680 --> 01:35:48,840
Speaker 1: game last week. I'm like, who is this guy they have?

1752
01:35:49,040 --> 01:35:54,200
Speaker 1: They have just developed him into a real quarterback. This

1753
01:35:54,360 --> 01:35:57,679
Speaker 1: isn't the kid that was throwing it down the field,

1754
01:35:57,920 --> 01:35:59,640
Speaker 1: you know, to see how far he could throw it

1755
01:35:59,800 --> 01:36:03,280
Speaker 1: and then whenever things weren't open, just take off and run.

1756
01:36:03,520 --> 01:36:05,760
Speaker 1: And you know, this is a different guy. Now he's

1757
01:36:05,800 --> 01:36:09,320
Speaker 1: playing quarterback, he's reading defenses. I thought he looked great.

1758
01:36:10,000 --> 01:36:14,640
Speaker 1: What do you think changes, though, Chris for that Pittsburgh

1759
01:36:14,760 --> 01:36:17,960
Speaker 1: rushing attack. We know Connor's off the COVID list and

1760
01:36:18,080 --> 01:36:21,479
Speaker 1: will be available for them. You know, they're number one back,

1761
01:36:21,600 --> 01:36:24,519
Speaker 1: and then there's a good chance that Morkey's pouncing comes

1762
01:36:24,560 --> 01:36:27,599
Speaker 1: off the COVID list this week as well. Who's kind

1763
01:36:27,640 --> 01:36:29,479
Speaker 1: of the general upfront for them? Do you think that

1764
01:36:29,640 --> 01:36:33,360
Speaker 1: helps their running game cause at all? Yeah, well, of

1765
01:36:33,479 --> 01:36:36,200
Speaker 1: course it's going to help some Those are two great players.

1766
01:36:36,320 --> 01:36:42,000
Speaker 1: So but even when they were playing, that's still how

1767
01:36:42,080 --> 01:36:44,840
Speaker 1: they were playing. You know, it's almost like you go

1768
01:36:44,960 --> 01:36:48,560
Speaker 1: back and Ben is, you know, he's coming off the

1769
01:36:48,640 --> 01:36:52,800
Speaker 1: elbow thing, and he's thirty seven years old now, and

1770
01:36:53,240 --> 01:36:56,200
Speaker 1: you get the feeling that he's really running the show,

1771
01:36:56,439 --> 01:36:58,759
Speaker 1: you know that almost like in a two minute offense.

1772
01:36:59,680 --> 01:37:03,519
Speaker 1: It's so weird for me to see Pittsburgh throwing the ball,

1773
01:37:04,040 --> 01:37:07,439
Speaker 1: you know, forty five to fifty times, and on third

1774
01:37:07,479 --> 01:37:10,519
Speaker 1: and one throwing the ball and tackle eligibles. It was

1775
01:37:10,560 --> 01:37:14,519
Speaker 1: almost like for boating for Pittsburgh at one time, it

1776
01:37:14,640 --> 01:37:16,920
Speaker 1: was like they had to prove their manhood to you know,

1777
01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:18,960
Speaker 1: they were just going to pound it down your throat,

1778
01:37:19,000 --> 01:37:23,560
Speaker 1: and it's really not that not. Defensively, they looked the same. Defensively,

1779
01:37:23,680 --> 01:37:26,439
Speaker 1: they looked great. The problem they ran into last week

1780
01:37:26,680 --> 01:37:29,720
Speaker 1: was they had a couple of key injuries. They had

1781
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:33,800
Speaker 1: the signal caller, they had both their cornerbacks out, so

1782
01:37:34,200 --> 01:37:37,479
Speaker 1: they were interchangeable with some parts, and it really just

1783
01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:40,280
Speaker 1: kind of kind of fell apart a little bit at

1784
01:37:40,320 --> 01:37:42,960
Speaker 1: the end of the whole thing. So they were, you know,

1785
01:37:43,160 --> 01:37:48,519
Speaker 1: just the Washington football team doesn't have this scheme that's

1786
01:37:48,560 --> 01:37:51,040
Speaker 1: just going to have everybody pop wide open. And yet

1787
01:37:51,080 --> 01:37:53,360
Speaker 1: in the third and fourth quarter, after all those injuries,

1788
01:37:53,800 --> 01:37:56,800
Speaker 1: those guys were they were popping wide open. I want

1789
01:37:56,800 --> 01:37:59,040
Speaker 1: to ask you as well, you played wide receiver back

1790
01:37:59,120 --> 01:38:01,600
Speaker 1: in the eighties. Are careers overlapped? Well, you played a

1791
01:38:01,640 --> 01:38:03,800
Speaker 1: lot more wide receiver than I did. But when you

1792
01:38:03,880 --> 01:38:06,680
Speaker 1: look at this Steelers wide receiver crew, and I'm just

1793
01:38:08,200 --> 01:38:10,519
Speaker 1: they they're gone without they've gone without a bye week.

1794
01:38:10,600 --> 01:38:12,519
Speaker 1: They've been it's been a long stretch for them. They've

1795
01:38:12,520 --> 01:38:15,360
Speaker 1: been jerked around with their schedules, so emotionally they're like, Okay,

1796
01:38:15,400 --> 01:38:16,640
Speaker 1: when are we gonna play? What are we gonna do?

1797
01:38:16,680 --> 01:38:19,160
Speaker 1: They just came off that big game with Baltimore. It

1798
01:38:19,280 --> 01:38:22,000
Speaker 1: struck me as all the drops with the Steelers receivers

1799
01:38:22,080 --> 01:38:24,599
Speaker 1: that seemed to me systemic. It didn't seem like into

1800
01:38:24,720 --> 01:38:26,479
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, that seemed struck me as a

1801
01:38:26,520 --> 01:38:31,400
Speaker 1: bunch of guys that were kind of mentally tired. Maybe,

1802
01:38:31,760 --> 01:38:34,439
Speaker 1: but they were that way the week before too, when

1803
01:38:34,479 --> 01:38:37,280
Speaker 1: they had ten days before they played on that Wednesday

1804
01:38:37,400 --> 01:38:42,360
Speaker 1: that we did the game. So I can't really explain it.

1805
01:38:42,760 --> 01:38:46,800
Speaker 1: And you know, it's it's their young guys. It's a

1806
01:38:46,880 --> 01:38:49,920
Speaker 1: long season, as you well know. It's man, you start

1807
01:38:50,040 --> 01:38:53,960
Speaker 1: hitting this point and Chase Claypool and Deontay Johnson and

1808
01:38:54,120 --> 01:38:56,599
Speaker 1: some of those guys are you know, I'm sure they're

1809
01:38:56,760 --> 01:38:59,200
Speaker 1: thinking back to the days when they played eleven college

1810
01:38:59,280 --> 01:39:02,080
Speaker 1: games and they thought, oh boy, this is now. I'm

1811
01:39:02,120 --> 01:39:04,280
Speaker 1: exhausted at the end of it. I know my rookie year,

1812
01:39:04,360 --> 01:39:05,960
Speaker 1: we went to the Super Bowl and I got to

1813
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:07,559
Speaker 1: go to the Pro bo I played in twenty four

1814
01:39:07,640 --> 01:39:10,920
Speaker 1: football games that year, even the four preseason games. Because

1815
01:39:10,960 --> 01:39:12,880
Speaker 1: I was a rookie, I was playing most of the game,

1816
01:39:13,400 --> 01:39:16,160
Speaker 1: and I can just remember how stunning it was. Like

1817
01:39:16,680 --> 01:39:18,720
Speaker 1: at the end of the year, you're just going Oh

1818
01:39:18,840 --> 01:39:20,680
Speaker 1: my gosh. And then you're starting to play in some

1819
01:39:20,840 --> 01:39:24,160
Speaker 1: weather that I had never played in at the University

1820
01:39:24,200 --> 01:39:27,120
Speaker 1: of Florida. You know, it's just it begins to work

1821
01:39:27,200 --> 01:39:29,680
Speaker 1: on your mind a little bit. But you know, I

1822
01:39:29,720 --> 01:39:32,800
Speaker 1: mean they were these weren't hard drops. I mean for

1823
01:39:32,880 --> 01:39:35,920
Speaker 1: the past two weeks now, these have been drops like

1824
01:39:36,360 --> 01:39:40,000
Speaker 1: right there, like right in their hands and in the

1825
01:39:40,120 --> 01:39:43,599
Speaker 1: biggest of situations in the red zone and third downs.

1826
01:39:43,760 --> 01:39:48,040
Speaker 1: And I can't imagine it going on, but you know,

1827
01:39:48,160 --> 01:39:50,400
Speaker 1: you might be right now, maybe it is inside their

1828
01:39:50,439 --> 01:39:54,560
Speaker 1: heads a little bit. Chris, what about the Bill's offensive

1829
01:39:54,600 --> 01:39:57,439
Speaker 1: play caller, Brian Dable. He looked a step ahead of

1830
01:39:57,640 --> 01:40:01,519
Speaker 1: Robertsila on Monday night, seemed to just have all the

1831
01:40:01,680 --> 01:40:05,439
Speaker 1: right choices dialed up for Josh. And you know, he's

1832
01:40:05,479 --> 01:40:08,439
Speaker 1: already starting to get mentioned as you know, a potential

1833
01:40:08,520 --> 01:40:11,280
Speaker 1: head coaching candidate at the end of the year might

1834
01:40:11,360 --> 01:40:14,200
Speaker 1: be a you know, somebody that's considered by some people

1835
01:40:14,240 --> 01:40:17,240
Speaker 1: that are looking to fill that vacancy. You know, come January.

1836
01:40:18,840 --> 01:40:21,160
Speaker 1: I don't know how much of the games you've seen

1837
01:40:21,240 --> 01:40:25,439
Speaker 1: to this point, just your thoughts on him and how

1838
01:40:25,520 --> 01:40:27,240
Speaker 1: far he's come as a play caller and with the

1839
01:40:27,280 --> 01:40:31,400
Speaker 1: development of Josh. Yeah, I love Brian. I think he's

1840
01:40:31,520 --> 01:40:35,479
Speaker 1: He's a great guy. He has the perfect personality. In

1841
01:40:35,640 --> 01:40:39,320
Speaker 1: some weird way. He reminds me of Josh a little bit.

1842
01:40:39,439 --> 01:40:42,519
Speaker 1: You know. Josh has sort of this upbeat personality and

1843
01:40:43,040 --> 01:40:45,719
Speaker 1: he enjoys what he's doing and he has a laugh.

1844
01:40:45,880 --> 01:40:48,640
Speaker 1: Like the first time I ever met Josh Allen, he

1845
01:40:48,880 --> 01:40:51,720
Speaker 1: slid into the door, you know, like I slide on

1846
01:40:51,960 --> 01:40:54,800
Speaker 1: camera and he's giggling. I said, I saw it. Get

1847
01:40:54,880 --> 01:40:59,120
Speaker 1: your butt in here, getting there. But I think Brian's

1848
01:40:59,160 --> 01:41:02,240
Speaker 1: the same sort guy. You know that he's not out

1849
01:41:02,320 --> 01:41:05,680
Speaker 1: there dictating terms of these players. You know, he's going

1850
01:41:05,760 --> 01:41:09,080
Speaker 1: out and he's asking, you know what they like? You know,

1851
01:41:09,240 --> 01:41:10,840
Speaker 1: what is it, Steph, what do you What do you

1852
01:41:10,920 --> 01:41:12,200
Speaker 1: like to run? What do you want to run? And

1853
01:41:12,280 --> 01:41:16,719
Speaker 1: what can you get open on here? But the head

1854
01:41:16,760 --> 01:41:19,800
Speaker 1: coaching vacancies are going to come down to one thing.

1855
01:41:20,479 --> 01:41:22,160
Speaker 1: A lot of these teams that are going to be

1856
01:41:22,240 --> 01:41:24,639
Speaker 1: firing coaches at the top of the draft and all

1857
01:41:24,680 --> 01:41:27,479
Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. It's going to be about drafting

1858
01:41:27,560 --> 01:41:30,680
Speaker 1: and developing young quarterbacks. There are so many young quarterbacks

1859
01:41:30,760 --> 01:41:34,160
Speaker 1: in the game right now anyway. And then during this

1860
01:41:34,360 --> 01:41:37,360
Speaker 1: draft process, you're going to see a lot more so

1861
01:41:37,479 --> 01:41:40,400
Speaker 1: you're going to get a ton of first, second, third,

1862
01:41:40,479 --> 01:41:44,559
Speaker 1: first year, our first contract quarterbacks playing. And I think

1863
01:41:44,600 --> 01:41:47,679
Speaker 1: what Brian has proven is that he can develop a quarterback.

1864
01:41:47,760 --> 01:41:49,679
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't tell me, you know, you guys

1865
01:41:49,760 --> 01:41:53,799
Speaker 1: watch them more closely than I do. But the Josh

1866
01:41:53,880 --> 01:41:57,559
Speaker 1: Allen I saw in his first and even second year

1867
01:41:58,200 --> 01:42:02,040
Speaker 1: almost didn't resemble they that I saw on television the

1868
01:42:02,120 --> 01:42:05,040
Speaker 1: other night. I mean, what was he seventy five? Something

1869
01:42:05,120 --> 01:42:09,240
Speaker 1: like that completion percentage putting the ball onto money. And

1870
01:42:09,479 --> 01:42:13,280
Speaker 1: if you eliminate the bad weather games that he's been

1871
01:42:13,360 --> 01:42:15,680
Speaker 1: in already, I mean there's there's been a few and

1872
01:42:15,800 --> 01:42:18,080
Speaker 1: a lot of wind and sort of like a Baker

1873
01:42:18,160 --> 01:42:21,000
Speaker 1: Mayfield kind of thing, you know that, But you know

1874
01:42:21,160 --> 01:42:23,800
Speaker 1: you you put his run ability in there, and that's

1875
01:42:23,880 --> 01:42:26,479
Speaker 1: they've created that with this offense too. It just feels

1876
01:42:26,520 --> 01:42:29,240
Speaker 1: like the synergy of the whole thing has been great

1877
01:42:29,360 --> 01:42:32,519
Speaker 1: between coach and quarterback. What do you how much credit

1878
01:42:32,560 --> 01:42:34,120
Speaker 1: do you give and what have you seen from the

1879
01:42:34,160 --> 01:42:36,800
Speaker 1: outside looking in this Sean McDermott, since he's been there,

1880
01:42:36,880 --> 01:42:39,800
Speaker 1: this has been a team that has really outperformed expectations

1881
01:42:40,479 --> 01:42:42,799
Speaker 1: and now that during this third year they seem poise

1882
01:42:42,920 --> 01:42:49,080
Speaker 1: for maybe a real push. I'm not gonna kid here

1883
01:42:49,479 --> 01:42:53,360
Speaker 1: now because I think this is I think this is

1884
01:42:53,439 --> 01:42:56,200
Speaker 1: an even up matchup in this game, you know, which

1885
01:42:56,360 --> 01:42:58,439
Speaker 1: is unusual for me to say that about a one

1886
01:42:58,520 --> 01:43:00,519
Speaker 1: loss team that said you know that, to say as

1887
01:43:00,560 --> 01:43:03,720
Speaker 1: me comparing them to Kansas City. But I think this

1888
01:43:03,880 --> 01:43:07,920
Speaker 1: game is even up. And if you just watched the

1889
01:43:08,000 --> 01:43:10,920
Speaker 1: two games last week, you would you would say Buffalo

1890
01:43:11,400 --> 01:43:14,400
Speaker 1: was better. But the thing I really like about the

1891
01:43:14,520 --> 01:43:19,040
Speaker 1: Bills is the physical nature and the effort of their defense. Um,

1892
01:43:19,600 --> 01:43:22,720
Speaker 1: you know, Tradevian Wyge and we know what they've got.

1893
01:43:22,800 --> 01:43:27,120
Speaker 1: Their two safeties, Pointer and Hide are two guys that

1894
01:43:27,800 --> 01:43:30,479
Speaker 1: I think are just first class players. Jerry Hughes just

1895
01:43:30,680 --> 01:43:36,320
Speaker 1: plays hard all the time. But the general tone of

1896
01:43:36,479 --> 01:43:44,280
Speaker 1: this defense is intensity, is effort. Is they do a

1897
01:43:44,360 --> 01:43:47,560
Speaker 1: lot of stuff. There's a lot of a lot of

1898
01:43:47,760 --> 01:43:51,200
Speaker 1: different looks to this defense, but they don't screw it up.

1899
01:43:51,840 --> 01:43:56,080
Speaker 1: Most teams that do as much as what Leslie's defense does,

1900
01:43:56,680 --> 01:43:59,000
Speaker 1: they make big mistakes during the course of the game

1901
01:43:59,040 --> 01:44:01,120
Speaker 1: and give up a free to touch down. You know,

1902
01:44:01,320 --> 01:44:03,360
Speaker 1: these guys are getting it right. So I don't know

1903
01:44:03,520 --> 01:44:06,639
Speaker 1: who the leader is. Maybe it's those two safeties, maybe

1904
01:44:06,680 --> 01:44:09,720
Speaker 1: it's Edmands. I have no idea, but somebody on the

1905
01:44:09,880 --> 01:44:13,280
Speaker 1: field is leading this defense and getting these calls right,

1906
01:44:13,400 --> 01:44:16,479
Speaker 1: because this is not the defense that's just lining up

1907
01:44:16,520 --> 01:44:19,000
Speaker 1: on one thing and going, okay, let's go, ready to play.

1908
01:44:19,760 --> 01:44:22,479
Speaker 1: Talking to Chris collins Worth from NBC Sunday Night Football,

1909
01:44:22,840 --> 01:44:25,760
Speaker 1: and Chris, I realize it's very much a week to

1910
01:44:25,840 --> 01:44:28,720
Speaker 1: week league has been for some time now, but the

1911
01:44:28,920 --> 01:44:31,400
Speaker 1: magnitude of this game, and I know both coaches are

1912
01:44:31,439 --> 01:44:34,479
Speaker 1: going to compartmentalize these as just the next game, but

1913
01:44:34,880 --> 01:44:37,639
Speaker 1: I feel like this one, with two of the top

1914
01:44:37,760 --> 01:44:41,680
Speaker 1: three seeds in the conference right now, has the potential

1915
01:44:42,360 --> 01:44:46,760
Speaker 1: to be a course correction for Pittsburgh after last week,

1916
01:44:47,320 --> 01:44:50,360
Speaker 1: and then for Buffalo. I can see a win being

1917
01:44:50,439 --> 01:44:54,240
Speaker 1: almost a catalyst for the rest of the year for them.

1918
01:44:55,400 --> 01:44:57,280
Speaker 1: How do you see it for each of these respective

1919
01:44:57,320 --> 01:44:59,599
Speaker 1: teams in terms of what a victory could mean coming

1920
01:44:59,640 --> 01:45:05,360
Speaker 1: out of it? But I think for Pittsburgh it's a

1921
01:45:05,600 --> 01:45:09,280
Speaker 1: really big game, really big game, because they got a

1922
01:45:09,400 --> 01:45:13,360
Speaker 1: chance to go from being undefeated to no longer the

1923
01:45:13,479 --> 01:45:16,960
Speaker 1: top seat. Right if Kansas City wins and Pittsburgh loses.

1924
01:45:17,040 --> 01:45:20,799
Speaker 1: In Kansas City's the number one seat, So a loss

1925
01:45:21,040 --> 01:45:24,680
Speaker 1: is really a statement because they've kind of been backtracking

1926
01:45:24,760 --> 01:45:28,240
Speaker 1: a little bit the last two weeks anyway, especially on

1927
01:45:28,360 --> 01:45:32,840
Speaker 1: the offensive side. But for Buffalo, a loss and you go,

1928
01:45:33,400 --> 01:45:36,879
Speaker 1: then most of the country thinks that's the Pittsburgh Steelers.

1929
01:45:36,920 --> 01:45:39,680
Speaker 1: They got one loss in snow, big deal, right, But

1930
01:45:39,840 --> 01:45:43,559
Speaker 1: if they win, If Buffalo wins this game, people are

1931
01:45:43,600 --> 01:45:45,760
Speaker 1: going to be talking about them, like I'm talking about

1932
01:45:45,800 --> 01:45:50,040
Speaker 1: them right now, like why not Buffalo? Tell me what

1933
01:45:50,280 --> 01:45:53,640
Speaker 1: you're seeing on tape that would tell you. I mean,

1934
01:45:53,760 --> 01:45:57,280
Speaker 1: Kansas City's a really good team. They're a really good team.

1935
01:45:57,720 --> 01:46:01,599
Speaker 1: Are they unbeatable? No, Denver almost beat them the other

1936
01:46:01,720 --> 01:46:04,559
Speaker 1: night in the game that we did. They have, they

1937
01:46:04,640 --> 01:46:08,360
Speaker 1: have ups and downs on offense. But you go, if

1938
01:46:08,439 --> 01:46:10,640
Speaker 1: they come out of here, Buffalo comes out of this

1939
01:46:10,760 --> 01:46:13,000
Speaker 1: one with the win, which I had no idea even

1940
01:46:13,080 --> 01:46:15,639
Speaker 1: who the favorite is in the game. But they come

1941
01:46:15,680 --> 01:46:18,040
Speaker 1: out of here with the win, everybody's going to be

1942
01:46:18,120 --> 01:46:20,240
Speaker 1: doing what I'm doing right now. They're going to be saying,

1943
01:46:20,920 --> 01:46:24,000
Speaker 1: keep an eye on the Buffalo Bills. There's no reason

1944
01:46:24,120 --> 01:46:26,320
Speaker 1: other than the fact that it hasn't happened since the

1945
01:46:26,439 --> 01:46:29,840
Speaker 1: days of Steve Tasker and Jim Kelly and those guys.

1946
01:46:30,280 --> 01:46:32,360
Speaker 1: It hasn't happened that this team has gone to a

1947
01:46:32,439 --> 01:46:36,439
Speaker 1: super Bowl. But talent wise, there's no reason they can't

1948
01:46:36,960 --> 01:46:39,120
Speaker 1: as we and you're right. I mean, we'll wait and

1949
01:46:39,200 --> 01:46:41,479
Speaker 1: see about that. And it's been a long time, and

1950
01:46:41,560 --> 01:46:43,519
Speaker 1: you're right. Because it never happened doesn't mean it can't

1951
01:46:43,520 --> 01:46:45,160
Speaker 1: happen this year. I want to ask you a little

1952
01:46:45,200 --> 01:46:47,960
Speaker 1: bit of something we alluded to earlier in the division.

1953
01:46:48,479 --> 01:46:50,559
Speaker 1: A team like the New York Jets and what happened

1954
01:46:50,600 --> 01:46:53,120
Speaker 1: with Greg Williams and the things that happened list last

1955
01:46:53,160 --> 01:46:55,880
Speaker 1: week with him calling a zero blitz and the Raiders

1956
01:46:55,960 --> 01:46:59,599
Speaker 1: hitting it for the win. A team like the Jets,

1957
01:46:59,680 --> 01:47:02,840
Speaker 1: who is looking gonna be looking at ostensively. I don't

1958
01:47:02,840 --> 01:47:04,720
Speaker 1: know if they're gonna fire Adam Gates or not. I

1959
01:47:04,760 --> 01:47:07,080
Speaker 1: would think they probably are the writings on the wall.

1960
01:47:08,439 --> 01:47:10,439
Speaker 1: If you're an owner of a team, if you can

1961
01:47:10,520 --> 01:47:14,200
Speaker 1: make the Buffalo Bills worse by snatching their offensive coordinator

1962
01:47:14,760 --> 01:47:17,559
Speaker 1: and having that offensive coordinat to come over and mentor

1963
01:47:17,760 --> 01:47:20,280
Speaker 1: your young quarterback in Sam Darnold, and even if you

1964
01:47:20,360 --> 01:47:22,840
Speaker 1: do draft Trevor Lawrence. You got the both of them,

1965
01:47:22,880 --> 01:47:25,479
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Wouldn't that make a lot of sense

1966
01:47:25,560 --> 01:47:28,280
Speaker 1: for a team within your division to snatch the good

1967
01:47:28,400 --> 01:47:31,120
Speaker 1: people from your division rivals and make yourself better and

1968
01:47:31,200 --> 01:47:34,639
Speaker 1: them worse and try and close the gap that way? Yeah,

1969
01:47:34,840 --> 01:47:37,760
Speaker 1: you could. Or you could also take Eric b Enemy

1970
01:47:37,960 --> 01:47:41,000
Speaker 1: from the top team in the league and go right

1971
01:47:41,160 --> 01:47:43,439
Speaker 1: do the same thing. They're in the AFC too, So

1972
01:47:44,200 --> 01:47:46,559
Speaker 1: I think either one of those would be fine choices.

1973
01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:49,160
Speaker 1: But I think you're on the right track that they're

1974
01:47:49,479 --> 01:47:51,760
Speaker 1: if in fact, they do change. I like Adam, but

1975
01:47:51,960 --> 01:47:53,559
Speaker 1: you know it's gonna be tough for him to hang

1976
01:47:53,640 --> 01:47:57,000
Speaker 1: on to that job. I think that if they do

1977
01:47:57,160 --> 01:48:01,160
Speaker 1: make a change, it almost has to be whoever you

1978
01:48:01,400 --> 01:48:04,479
Speaker 1: think is the best person out there that can develop

1979
01:48:04,560 --> 01:48:07,640
Speaker 1: a young quarterback period, end of story. If that's not

1980
01:48:07,720 --> 01:48:09,519
Speaker 1: who you're signing and be your head coach, I think

1981
01:48:09,520 --> 01:48:12,840
Speaker 1: it's a mistake. Right. Speaking of Greg Williams, I know

1982
01:48:12,920 --> 01:48:16,200
Speaker 1: you get to do a podcast every week with Richard Sherman,

1983
01:48:16,280 --> 01:48:18,840
Speaker 1: and you caught up with him after he had played

1984
01:48:18,920 --> 01:48:21,720
Speaker 1: the Bills. If I have my timing right here in

1985
01:48:21,880 --> 01:48:25,719
Speaker 1: terms of when you tape that podcast episode. So I guess, first,

1986
01:48:26,520 --> 01:48:28,920
Speaker 1: I guess you've been around Richard to know you shouldn't

1987
01:48:28,920 --> 01:48:31,720
Speaker 1: be surprised by his very frank comments about Greg and

1988
01:48:31,800 --> 01:48:34,120
Speaker 1: the play call that he made. But what did he

1989
01:48:34,240 --> 01:48:36,840
Speaker 1: have to offer on the bills and his impressions of

1990
01:48:36,920 --> 01:48:40,519
Speaker 1: them or Josh Allen if anything, Well, he was really

1991
01:48:40,600 --> 01:48:46,160
Speaker 1: impressed with Josh and the receivers as well, and I

1992
01:48:46,240 --> 01:48:49,439
Speaker 1: mean one thank you would not say he may have

1993
01:48:49,520 --> 01:48:52,680
Speaker 1: alluded to it lightly, but the simple truth is the

1994
01:48:52,840 --> 01:48:56,679
Speaker 1: forty nine ers built their entire franchise around their pass

1995
01:48:56,800 --> 01:49:00,960
Speaker 1: rush and those guys are gone, right Post is gone,

1996
01:49:01,160 --> 01:49:05,320
Speaker 1: and you know Bartner's gone, and you know that. So

1997
01:49:06,040 --> 01:49:09,240
Speaker 1: it's it's it's tough that that secondary now is going

1998
01:49:09,280 --> 01:49:12,400
Speaker 1: to get exposed in a way that they haven't in

1999
01:49:12,439 --> 01:49:14,920
Speaker 1: a while. And Buffalo's offensive line did a great job

2000
01:49:15,120 --> 01:49:18,599
Speaker 1: in that game. But I will say, but what they're

2001
01:49:18,640 --> 01:49:21,519
Speaker 1: about to see this week is a heck of a

2002
01:49:21,560 --> 01:49:23,760
Speaker 1: lot better than what they saw with the remains of

2003
01:49:23,960 --> 01:49:29,200
Speaker 1: San Francisco's um off pass rushers. So this is going

2004
01:49:29,240 --> 01:49:32,280
Speaker 1: to be a tremendous burden. T J. Watt is off

2005
01:49:32,320 --> 01:49:35,800
Speaker 1: the chart, Cameron Hayward off the chart, Steven to step

2006
01:49:35,920 --> 01:49:39,799
Speaker 1: onto it with the interior push, and they're gonna blitz.

2007
01:49:40,080 --> 01:49:42,599
Speaker 1: You know, they're gonna send people out of the secondary.

2008
01:49:42,640 --> 01:49:46,240
Speaker 1: They're gonna blitz linebackers. They're gonna read blitzer backs. They're

2009
01:49:46,280 --> 01:49:48,960
Speaker 1: gonna put pressure on Josh Allen. This is a great

2010
01:49:49,240 --> 01:49:52,479
Speaker 1: next test for him. He basically stood there in the

2011
01:49:52,520 --> 01:49:54,880
Speaker 1: pocket and did whatever you wanted to last week. That

2012
01:49:55,000 --> 01:49:57,200
Speaker 1: will not be the case this week. I know you

2013
01:49:57,760 --> 01:49:59,880
Speaker 1: you played for the Bengals, you live in that area. Talk.

2014
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:01,960
Speaker 1: It's just a little about your early impressions of Joe

2015
01:50:02,000 --> 01:50:03,840
Speaker 1: Blurr before he lost the rest of his season back

2016
01:50:03,880 --> 01:50:06,960
Speaker 1: in week eleven from Afar, we thought we were really

2017
01:50:07,040 --> 01:50:10,160
Speaker 1: impressed with him. Is do you think that he seems

2018
01:50:10,200 --> 01:50:14,120
Speaker 1: for real? Am I right? I've never been so sad

2019
01:50:14,240 --> 01:50:17,320
Speaker 1: to the organization as I was the day he got hurt.

2020
01:50:17,400 --> 01:50:21,720
Speaker 1: You know, at some point, and people of Buffalo would

2021
01:50:21,880 --> 01:50:23,960
Speaker 1: understand this. At some point, you have to have a

2022
01:50:24,000 --> 01:50:29,080
Speaker 1: little hope. And one kid came in there and there

2023
01:50:29,200 --> 01:50:31,559
Speaker 1: was hope. I mean, even the games they were losing,

2024
01:50:32,080 --> 01:50:36,680
Speaker 1: they were competitive and he was tough man that their

2025
01:50:36,760 --> 01:50:39,559
Speaker 1: offensive line was bad and he was just getting beat

2026
01:50:39,680 --> 01:50:43,200
Speaker 1: up left and right, and all of a sudden, you know,

2027
01:50:43,360 --> 01:50:46,040
Speaker 1: he just looked like, hey, they just put a little

2028
01:50:46,080 --> 01:50:48,320
Speaker 1: bit of stuff around this guy. This is going to

2029
01:50:48,400 --> 01:50:51,719
Speaker 1: be something else. And then not only did he get hurt,

2030
01:50:52,040 --> 01:50:54,920
Speaker 1: I mean he got hurt. That's a big injury. And

2031
01:50:55,880 --> 01:50:58,880
Speaker 1: there's uncertainty not about whether or not he's ever going

2032
01:50:58,920 --> 01:51:01,040
Speaker 1: to play, but will you ever be the same kind

2033
01:51:01,080 --> 01:51:04,000
Speaker 1: of player because he was a bullfighter in the ring.

2034
01:51:04,400 --> 01:51:06,960
Speaker 1: They were telling Brandon Graham from Philadelphia was telling me,

2035
01:51:07,000 --> 01:51:09,519
Speaker 1: I mean, Brandon Graham almost killing him on this one

2036
01:51:09,600 --> 01:51:12,920
Speaker 1: hit and it was borderline maybe a little bit late,

2037
01:51:13,040 --> 01:51:15,960
Speaker 1: and he said, Bro got up, looked over to the referee.

2038
01:51:15,960 --> 01:51:18,400
Speaker 1: He didn't throw a flag, he said. Bro didn't complain,

2039
01:51:19,040 --> 01:51:21,400
Speaker 1: he didn't say anything. He just turned back to Graham

2040
01:51:21,439 --> 01:51:23,760
Speaker 1: and he goes, when I'm the goat, I'm gonna get

2041
01:51:23,840 --> 01:51:28,400
Speaker 1: that call right there. And I couldn't stop laughing because

2042
01:51:28,400 --> 01:51:32,960
Speaker 1: I just laughing. This kid. I loved him. They came

2043
01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:35,040
Speaker 1: out of the game with a whole lot of respect

2044
01:51:35,160 --> 01:51:37,680
Speaker 1: for Joe Burrow. One more quarterback I wanted to ask

2045
01:51:37,720 --> 01:51:40,320
Speaker 1: you about, Chris was you know, what's what's kind of

2046
01:51:40,400 --> 01:51:44,679
Speaker 1: Befallen Carson wentz here and people can draw up whatever

2047
01:51:44,760 --> 01:51:47,280
Speaker 1: conclusions they want as to why it's fallen apart the

2048
01:51:47,360 --> 01:51:50,519
Speaker 1: way it has. My question to you is, do you

2049
01:51:50,640 --> 01:51:54,280
Speaker 1: think it gets to a point where the organization moves

2050
01:51:54,320 --> 01:51:56,960
Speaker 1: on from him? And I realized the way Jalen Hurts

2051
01:51:57,000 --> 01:51:58,800
Speaker 1: plays would have to be a major factor in that

2052
01:51:58,920 --> 01:52:01,040
Speaker 1: kind of a decision. The only reason I asked that

2053
01:52:01,240 --> 01:52:03,240
Speaker 1: is because I think about a guy like Frank Write

2054
01:52:03,240 --> 01:52:06,400
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis who may not have Philip Rivers next year

2055
01:52:07,120 --> 01:52:09,600
Speaker 1: because he's on a one year deal, and he and

2056
01:52:09,720 --> 01:52:13,160
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz got along pretty famously when he was there

2057
01:52:13,600 --> 01:52:15,800
Speaker 1: as a member of Doug Peterson's staff. I'm just kind

2058
01:52:15,800 --> 01:52:18,479
Speaker 1: of wondering where that path leads for Carson Wentzon lighted

2059
01:52:18,520 --> 01:52:22,080
Speaker 1: what's happened in Philadelphia. Man, I don't know what is

2060
01:52:22,120 --> 01:52:24,759
Speaker 1: the one hundred and twenty million dollars. Yeah, I understand

2061
01:52:24,840 --> 01:52:29,720
Speaker 1: the contracts of Roadblock. Yeah yeah. So, I mean, I'm

2062
01:52:29,800 --> 01:52:32,680
Speaker 1: all for it, and I think Frank Wright had a

2063
01:52:32,760 --> 01:52:36,920
Speaker 1: lot to do with the success of that Philadelphia Eagles team.

2064
01:52:37,000 --> 01:52:41,040
Speaker 1: And not to put down either Carson or Doug, but

2065
01:52:41,680 --> 01:52:45,479
Speaker 1: you know, I think that you're talking about that's a

2066
01:52:45,640 --> 01:52:48,200
Speaker 1: tough thing to do, and don't forget the next year

2067
01:52:49,240 --> 01:52:52,600
Speaker 1: likely is going to see a reduced salary cap. The

2068
01:52:52,680 --> 01:52:55,120
Speaker 1: salary cap next year might go from one hundred and

2069
01:52:55,320 --> 01:52:58,880
Speaker 1: ninety or whatever supposed to be down to about one

2070
01:52:59,000 --> 01:53:01,200
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty, and we're going to see a lot

2071
01:53:01,280 --> 01:53:04,960
Speaker 1: of really good veteran players on the open market that

2072
01:53:05,080 --> 01:53:09,240
Speaker 1: had to get cut just strictly for salary cap purposes.

2073
01:53:09,720 --> 01:53:12,040
Speaker 1: And then you're going to see teams unable to sign

2074
01:53:12,120 --> 01:53:14,920
Speaker 1: them because they're not going to have money because of

2075
01:53:14,960 --> 01:53:17,320
Speaker 1: the reduced cap. Now, maybe they end up spreading that

2076
01:53:17,439 --> 01:53:20,920
Speaker 1: cap over a longer period of time and pulling money

2077
01:53:21,080 --> 01:53:24,120
Speaker 1: from tomorrow or for five years from now back into

2078
01:53:24,160 --> 01:53:26,880
Speaker 1: this year so they don't have to do that. But

2079
01:53:27,080 --> 01:53:30,720
Speaker 1: as of right now, there's a real chance that, hey,

2080
01:53:30,800 --> 01:53:32,639
Speaker 1: you're not going to be able to dump a contract

2081
01:53:32,760 --> 01:53:35,400
Speaker 1: like that and be there's gonna be some really great

2082
01:53:35,479 --> 01:53:38,720
Speaker 1: players that are taking a fraction of what they would

2083
01:53:38,840 --> 01:53:42,800
Speaker 1: ordinarily and probably taking one year deals one last one.

2084
01:53:42,880 --> 01:53:45,400
Speaker 1: For me, it's about the big picture, particularly in the AFC.

2085
01:53:45,640 --> 01:53:47,960
Speaker 1: You got you know, Pittsburgh's the number one Kansas city.

2086
01:53:48,000 --> 01:53:50,599
Speaker 1: Now they've got identical records coming down. Buffalo is sitting

2087
01:53:50,640 --> 01:53:53,920
Speaker 1: at the three spot. Tennessee, Cleveland Miami, Indianapolis. If you

2088
01:53:54,000 --> 01:53:58,400
Speaker 1: get back to Miami, Cleveland, Indianapolis, and in Vegas, Baltimore,

2089
01:53:58,520 --> 01:54:00,760
Speaker 1: New England, Well, how do you think the wild card

2090
01:54:00,840 --> 01:54:03,799
Speaker 1: slots shake out those last three spots in the AFC.

2091
01:54:06,360 --> 01:54:09,759
Speaker 1: That's a good question. I tell you. Cleveland really impressed

2092
01:54:09,800 --> 01:54:13,000
Speaker 1: me the other day. That was the other breakout team

2093
01:54:13,120 --> 01:54:15,040
Speaker 1: as far as I was concerned to talk about a

2094
01:54:15,120 --> 01:54:17,760
Speaker 1: team that's played in some bad weather in Baker Mayfield,

2095
01:54:18,200 --> 01:54:21,080
Speaker 1: They've just been an awful weather up there. So what

2096
01:54:21,280 --> 01:54:24,360
Speaker 1: happened was they developed the run game, and they were

2097
01:54:24,439 --> 01:54:26,559
Speaker 1: number one in the league, and everybody had a lot

2098
01:54:26,640 --> 01:54:28,840
Speaker 1: of questions about Baker Mayfield, and all of a sudden,

2099
01:54:28,880 --> 01:54:32,600
Speaker 1: Baker comes out against granted, not a very good defense

2100
01:54:32,680 --> 01:54:37,800
Speaker 1: in Tennessee, but you know, a legitimate, tough guy football

2101
01:54:37,880 --> 01:54:40,480
Speaker 1: team and lit their hair on fire when they scored

2102
01:54:40,640 --> 01:54:43,200
Speaker 1: thirty eight in the first half of that game and

2103
01:54:43,600 --> 01:54:47,080
Speaker 1: predominantly throwing the ball. So now you pair that running

2104
01:54:47,160 --> 01:54:50,640
Speaker 1: game with what they can do throwing it. That's something.

2105
01:54:50,720 --> 01:54:52,920
Speaker 1: And I still think it's going to be really hard

2106
01:54:54,640 --> 01:54:57,520
Speaker 1: for Baltimore to not get in. You know, they're gonna

2107
01:54:57,560 --> 01:55:01,839
Speaker 1: get some of their big guys. Clais Campbell and company

2108
01:55:01,880 --> 01:55:04,920
Speaker 1: are going to get back in action down the stretch

2109
01:55:05,040 --> 01:55:08,720
Speaker 1: run and they might come in as the seven seat

2110
01:55:09,160 --> 01:55:11,680
Speaker 1: a team like Baltimore, but I sure wouldn't want to

2111
01:55:11,720 --> 01:55:15,800
Speaker 1: play them in the first round, and then you know,

2112
01:55:16,040 --> 01:55:19,400
Speaker 1: after that, it gets to be New England's one. You

2113
01:55:19,440 --> 01:55:21,840
Speaker 1: can never take your eye off. Las Vegas was a

2114
01:55:21,880 --> 01:55:25,040
Speaker 1: little lucky just to be where they are right now.

2115
01:55:25,200 --> 01:55:29,160
Speaker 1: But I think if I had to say which teams

2116
01:55:29,240 --> 01:55:32,080
Speaker 1: are sitting there that aren't Pittsburgh or Kansas City that

2117
01:55:32,160 --> 01:55:38,960
Speaker 1: I think could still win this thing, Buffalo, Cleveland, Baltimore

2118
01:55:39,040 --> 01:55:42,080
Speaker 1: would be the ones I would say, Chris, thanks for

2119
01:55:42,120 --> 01:55:44,360
Speaker 1: the time. We appreciate you carving out a little bit

2120
01:55:44,360 --> 01:55:46,720
Speaker 1: of your afternoon with us, and we look forward to

2121
01:55:46,760 --> 01:55:48,800
Speaker 1: watching you on Sunday Night with Mike Terrico. Thanks for

2122
01:55:48,880 --> 01:55:52,320
Speaker 1: the time, you gotta guys, good seeing you all right,

2123
01:55:52,400 --> 01:55:54,760
Speaker 1: Enjoy the game. That's Chris collins Worth from NBC Sunday

2124
01:55:54,840 --> 01:55:58,800
Speaker 1: Night Football joining us here. And it's always good to

2125
01:55:58,880 --> 01:56:01,960
Speaker 1: get kind of a a lay of the land perspective

2126
01:56:02,200 --> 01:56:04,040
Speaker 1: from a guy like that that kind of looks at

2127
01:56:04,080 --> 01:56:06,880
Speaker 1: it from a bird's eye view, like you know, you

2128
01:56:06,960 --> 01:56:08,880
Speaker 1: and I here we have Bill's myopia you know what

2129
01:56:08,960 --> 01:56:12,160
Speaker 1: I mean. So to get that kind of overhead view

2130
01:56:12,200 --> 01:56:14,480
Speaker 1: of the league and maybe where things standing in the

2131
01:56:14,560 --> 01:56:17,360
Speaker 1: AFC is always kind of a healthy thing. So thanks

2132
01:56:17,400 --> 01:56:21,080
Speaker 1: to Christopher providing that for us, um and thanks for

2133
01:56:21,160 --> 01:56:22,760
Speaker 1: playing along with the slide. Do he even did the

2134
01:56:22,800 --> 01:56:25,640
Speaker 1: slider to be good man, he's having fun with this stuff.

2135
01:56:26,040 --> 01:56:29,360
Speaker 1: That's great. Where the heck is he is in Florida?

2136
01:56:29,960 --> 01:56:32,200
Speaker 1: Golf shirt and shorts? I don't know, Yeah, I don't

2137
01:56:32,200 --> 01:56:35,560
Speaker 1: know how shirts and shorts. I mean, we're sitting here

2138
01:56:35,600 --> 01:56:37,840
Speaker 1: in snow in December. I got this T shirt over

2139
01:56:37,880 --> 01:56:39,880
Speaker 1: the top of a sweatshirt, quarter zip, and I'm not

2140
01:56:39,960 --> 01:56:44,600
Speaker 1: going anywhere I'm not right. Yeah, all right, good conversation

2141
01:56:44,680 --> 01:56:46,400
Speaker 1: with him. Glad we could get him on there and

2142
01:56:47,000 --> 01:56:49,440
Speaker 1: uh lay out the game and what he thinks of

2143
01:56:49,480 --> 01:56:51,720
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and I want it. That's why I asked him,

2144
01:56:52,200 --> 01:56:53,600
Speaker 1: you know, what does a win mean for each of

2145
01:56:53,640 --> 01:56:57,240
Speaker 1: those teams? Because I was thinking, well, you know, for Pittsburgh,

2146
01:56:57,280 --> 01:56:59,280
Speaker 1: it's just a course correction. All right, We're back on track,

2147
01:56:59,360 --> 01:57:01,040
Speaker 1: here we go. Let's keep doing what we're doing. But

2148
01:57:01,560 --> 01:57:04,760
Speaker 1: he thought it would mean actually more than that for them,

2149
01:57:06,120 --> 01:57:07,920
Speaker 1: which I found interesting. I mean, this is a team

2150
01:57:07,960 --> 01:57:12,000
Speaker 1: that has historically done well, you know, eleven and one. Okay,

2151
01:57:12,080 --> 01:57:15,280
Speaker 1: it's a great record, but they're not foreign to being

2152
01:57:15,360 --> 01:57:18,360
Speaker 1: a top there division and a player in the conference.

2153
01:57:18,600 --> 01:57:21,720
Speaker 1: They're used to that. That's familiar territory for them, even

2154
01:57:21,760 --> 01:57:24,640
Speaker 1: if they're a year removed it from after Ben being

2155
01:57:24,680 --> 01:57:28,160
Speaker 1: out of the lineup. I kind of look as at

2156
01:57:28,200 --> 01:57:30,160
Speaker 1: a win in this game for Buffalo as kind of

2157
01:57:30,240 --> 01:57:34,080
Speaker 1: a catalyst to some bigger and better things. I mean,

2158
01:57:34,480 --> 01:57:36,720
Speaker 1: he's put this team in your rearview mirror. That's something.

2159
01:57:36,800 --> 01:57:40,120
Speaker 1: But I was, I was, I was surprised that he

2160
01:57:40,200 --> 01:57:44,000
Speaker 1: said it was that big for Pittsburgh. Yeah, I think so.

2161
01:57:44,200 --> 01:57:46,360
Speaker 1: I think Pittsburgh wold needs to prove it, not to

2162
01:57:46,560 --> 01:57:49,480
Speaker 1: anybody else but themselves. Yeah, you know, I think they

2163
01:57:49,560 --> 01:57:53,240
Speaker 1: hear the music about, you know, playing the NFC East

2164
01:57:53,640 --> 01:57:56,480
Speaker 1: and Jacksonville and Cincinnati. They got a fourth place schedule

2165
01:57:56,760 --> 01:57:59,000
Speaker 1: and they've kind of made hay on it as well.

2166
01:57:59,040 --> 01:58:00,680
Speaker 1: They should have if you're a team and they are.

2167
01:58:01,600 --> 01:58:03,160
Speaker 1: I think the one thing that I caught out of

2168
01:58:03,200 --> 01:58:05,720
Speaker 1: it was he's right, if the Bills walk out of

2169
01:58:05,760 --> 01:58:09,240
Speaker 1: it with a victory, the nation takes notice. Well, you

2170
01:58:09,320 --> 01:58:11,520
Speaker 1: said that even early in the week coming out of

2171
01:58:11,520 --> 01:58:14,640
Speaker 1: the Monday night. Now if they if they beat Pittsburgh,

2172
01:58:14,680 --> 01:58:18,080
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna be on the Buffalo bandway right, yeah, right,

2173
01:58:18,160 --> 01:58:19,640
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you that the thing I asked him

2174
01:58:19,640 --> 01:58:21,680
Speaker 1: here at the end with the standings, you know who

2175
01:58:21,880 --> 01:58:23,400
Speaker 1: of those teams he's talking about it. And if you

2176
01:58:23,520 --> 01:58:27,200
Speaker 1: go back and look at the at the the playoff race,

2177
01:58:27,840 --> 01:58:29,920
Speaker 1: you know the team that looks like it may not

2178
01:58:30,040 --> 01:58:33,040
Speaker 1: be able to hang in there night. I'm just saying

2179
01:58:33,080 --> 01:58:36,920
Speaker 1: it's just for saying it. Miami. Yeah, my schedule, I

2180
01:58:37,000 --> 01:58:40,320
Speaker 1: can't play the city. Then the Patriots always a difficult game.

2181
01:58:40,800 --> 01:58:43,360
Speaker 1: The Raiders, who who are going to be pushing to

2182
01:58:43,440 --> 01:58:45,560
Speaker 1: try and get in? Now that Patriots game and the

2183
01:58:45,680 --> 01:58:49,120
Speaker 1: Raiders game, I believe our home is that right? Yes?

2184
01:58:49,280 --> 01:58:51,600
Speaker 1: Those are home games for them, Yes, the Kansas City

2185
01:58:51,760 --> 01:58:55,280
Speaker 1: and the Patriots. The Raiders is in Las Vegas and

2186
01:58:55,360 --> 01:58:59,000
Speaker 1: then they then they're they're here in Buffalo in January.

2187
01:59:00,400 --> 01:59:07,360
Speaker 1: Those those three games, the Chiefs, Patriots and Raiders, they're

2188
01:59:07,400 --> 01:59:09,400
Speaker 1: gonna they gotta go. They gotta go two and two

2189
01:59:09,440 --> 01:59:12,280
Speaker 1: in their last four right to finish ten and six

2190
01:59:12,360 --> 01:59:14,120
Speaker 1: they do that gets you in right, ten and six

2191
01:59:14,560 --> 01:59:19,480
Speaker 1: it's even which with an extra playoff Berth, Yes, because

2192
01:59:19,520 --> 01:59:25,560
Speaker 1: then that means Vegas, Baltimore, Indianapolis. That means you're not

2193
01:59:25,640 --> 01:59:27,800
Speaker 1: in Vegas down a peg. You're knock in New England

2194
01:59:27,880 --> 01:59:31,680
Speaker 1: out of the mix, you know, if you win those games. Right,

2195
01:59:31,720 --> 01:59:35,000
Speaker 1: here's the thing, there's five teams in the wild Card

2196
01:59:35,120 --> 01:59:39,080
Speaker 1: Division that aren't leading their divisions. Cleveland, Miami, Indianapolis, Las Vegas,

2197
01:59:39,200 --> 01:59:41,680
Speaker 1: Baltimore seven and five or eight and four, and of

2198
01:59:41,760 --> 01:59:44,200
Speaker 1: course Cleveland at nine and three. I don't think they're

2199
01:59:44,240 --> 01:59:48,760
Speaker 1: going anywhere. So you got four teams for two spots, Miami, Indianapolis,

2200
01:59:49,080 --> 01:59:54,320
Speaker 1: Las Vegas, Baltimore, Vegas and Baltimore seven and five, Miami,

2201
01:59:54,400 --> 01:59:57,320
Speaker 1: Indianapolis eight and four. Two of those teams are in.

2202
01:59:57,440 --> 02:00:00,840
Speaker 1: Two of them are out in Miami. As we said,

2203
02:00:01,240 --> 02:00:04,520
Speaker 1: is the team that's got Kansas City left, the Patriots left,

2204
02:00:04,760 --> 02:00:09,200
Speaker 1: the Raiders left, and the Bills, and I'll go back.

2205
02:00:09,640 --> 02:00:11,960
Speaker 1: We can go back and look at you know, I mean,

2206
02:00:12,160 --> 02:00:13,360
Speaker 1: what other the team you want. Let's see what the

2207
02:00:13,400 --> 02:00:16,000
Speaker 1: Indianapolis guy. I've kind of like what Frank's doing. Let's

2208
02:00:16,000 --> 02:00:18,000
Speaker 1: see what the Indianapolis Colts have got left. They've got

2209
02:00:18,040 --> 02:00:22,120
Speaker 1: the Raiders this week. They got Houston, but then they

2210
02:00:22,200 --> 02:00:25,760
Speaker 1: got Pittsburgh. Give them a loss there. They're gonna they

2211
02:00:25,800 --> 02:00:27,600
Speaker 1: can beat the Raiders, they can beat the Texans. They

2212
02:00:27,720 --> 02:00:31,280
Speaker 1: end the season with Jacksonville, who, by the way, beat

2213
02:00:31,320 --> 02:00:33,920
Speaker 1: them on opening Day. They're gonna have a little revenge

2214
02:00:33,960 --> 02:00:36,000
Speaker 1: factor they're going. So if they go three and one

2215
02:00:36,080 --> 02:00:42,160
Speaker 1: over the last they're in, that's eleven and five. I

2216
02:00:42,240 --> 02:00:45,760
Speaker 1: can do this all day. Well, right, if they're eleven

2217
02:00:45,840 --> 02:00:50,320
Speaker 1: and five, they might be challenging for the division with Tennessee. Yeah.

2218
02:00:50,440 --> 02:00:53,600
Speaker 1: If they go eleven and five, well yeah, I mean

2219
02:00:53,640 --> 02:00:57,360
Speaker 1: that's yes, and then Tennessee's in the mix for the

2220
02:00:57,400 --> 02:01:02,280
Speaker 1: wild card. Yeah, all right, yeah, we gotta take all right,

2221
02:01:02,280 --> 02:01:04,280
Speaker 1: we'll take a break. I'm gonna take a break. We'll

2222
02:01:04,280 --> 02:01:07,400
Speaker 1: discuss more playoffs scenarios and maybe even get into a

2223
02:01:07,440 --> 02:01:09,760
Speaker 1: little NFL true false. We'll also finish things up on

2224
02:01:09,800 --> 02:01:12,360
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet when we return here on One Bill's Live,

2225
02:01:12,440 --> 02:01:27,240
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio mis

2226
02:01:27,320 --> 02:01:30,000
Speaker 1: Brown Sky Tasker. Final half hour of the program here

2227
02:01:30,040 --> 02:01:33,760
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live Thursday edition, and we were going

2228
02:01:33,840 --> 02:01:37,040
Speaker 1: over the remaining schedules of the playoff contenders, in the AFC,

2229
02:01:38,320 --> 02:01:43,240
Speaker 1: I believe, Steve, where did you leave off there? Um, okay,

2230
02:01:44,280 --> 02:01:49,280
Speaker 1: come on, we left off with Tennessee. Tennessee's got Jacksonville

2231
02:01:49,360 --> 02:01:52,640
Speaker 1: this week. Then they've got Detroit, oh Man. So okay,

2232
02:01:52,720 --> 02:01:55,760
Speaker 1: so they're Tennessee right, So now green Bay is their

2233
02:01:55,800 --> 02:01:58,920
Speaker 1: toughest game. So Tennessee's gonna go to eight, gonna go

2234
02:01:59,040 --> 02:02:03,000
Speaker 1: to ten and fours to green Bay. They'll lose. They

2235
02:02:03,080 --> 02:02:04,800
Speaker 1: lose to green Bay. They're ten and five. They got

2236
02:02:04,840 --> 02:02:09,240
Speaker 1: Texans on. That's eleven and five for Tennessee, right, I

2237
02:02:09,800 --> 02:02:12,120
Speaker 1: didn't look. I wonder who's got the tiebreaker between the

2238
02:02:12,280 --> 02:02:15,000
Speaker 1: Titans and the Colts for the AFC. Well, but it

2239
02:02:15,080 --> 02:02:18,160
Speaker 1: would be the title. I think it is the I

2240
02:02:18,280 --> 02:02:20,800
Speaker 1: think it's Tennessee. It was a couple of weeks ago.

2241
02:02:20,800 --> 02:02:22,920
Speaker 1: They might have changed because of the FC NFC schedule,

2242
02:02:23,000 --> 02:02:27,440
Speaker 1: but um, who's got more wins? But Tennessee would be

2243
02:02:27,520 --> 02:02:31,040
Speaker 1: head to head two. Yeah, they're split, they'd split, all right,

2244
02:02:31,080 --> 02:02:36,000
Speaker 1: So then it would go to the next tiebreaker after that. Yeah,

2245
02:02:36,040 --> 02:02:39,560
Speaker 1: that would be interesting because right now they're both eight

2246
02:02:39,640 --> 02:02:41,520
Speaker 1: and four and Tennessee is ahead of them. So that

2247
02:02:41,880 --> 02:02:43,720
Speaker 1: leads me to while they have a better division record

2248
02:02:43,760 --> 02:02:46,440
Speaker 1: three and one to Indies two and two in the division.

2249
02:02:46,840 --> 02:02:50,440
Speaker 1: So that's the separator there. If they split this season

2250
02:02:50,520 --> 02:02:55,160
Speaker 1: so far, so that's the deal there. Um yep, it's uh.

2251
02:02:55,680 --> 02:02:57,600
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be tightened the AFC South

2252
02:02:58,960 --> 02:03:00,760
Speaker 1: in terms of who wins the vision there. I think

2253
02:03:00,800 --> 02:03:02,760
Speaker 1: that's gonna go all the way down to Week seventeen

2254
02:03:02,840 --> 02:03:06,400
Speaker 1: in all likelihood, and then as far as the wild

2255
02:03:06,480 --> 02:03:10,800
Speaker 1: card goes, I don't know. I mean, look at the

2256
02:03:10,840 --> 02:03:14,120
Speaker 1: Browns schedule the rest of the way. They got Pittsburgh

2257
02:03:14,160 --> 02:03:17,320
Speaker 1: in the final week. How interesting would that be if

2258
02:03:17,400 --> 02:03:20,320
Speaker 1: Cleveland and Pittsburgh? Are you know what I mean? If

2259
02:03:20,360 --> 02:03:22,240
Speaker 1: there's a game separating that. If the Bills beat the

2260
02:03:22,280 --> 02:03:25,720
Speaker 1: Steelers this week, all right, so they're gonna go. They're

2261
02:03:25,760 --> 02:03:30,760
Speaker 1: gonna go even at Stay Flat. The Browns go eleven

2262
02:03:30,840 --> 02:03:32,880
Speaker 1: and five, they beat the Giants, they beat the Jets,

2263
02:03:32,960 --> 02:03:34,880
Speaker 1: and then they lose to the Ravens and Steelers. Now

2264
02:03:34,960 --> 02:03:37,920
Speaker 1: that hurts them because it's division games, but they're still

2265
02:03:38,000 --> 02:03:40,240
Speaker 1: sitting at eleven and five. And that's what I had

2266
02:03:40,280 --> 02:03:46,480
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens at. So you have, well, who's winning

2267
02:03:46,480 --> 02:03:48,280
Speaker 1: the game this week that if you have them both

2268
02:03:48,320 --> 02:03:51,080
Speaker 1: going eleven and five. I had the Ravens winning, or

2269
02:03:51,160 --> 02:03:53,720
Speaker 1: maybe not. I had the Ravens losing, didn't I I

2270
02:03:53,800 --> 02:03:55,960
Speaker 1: don't remember. Because the Ravens have got a little bit

2271
02:03:56,000 --> 02:04:00,320
Speaker 1: of a cake schedule that the wild card in terms

2272
02:04:00,320 --> 02:04:02,600
Speaker 1: of who from the AFC North is in the mix

2273
02:04:03,080 --> 02:04:07,280
Speaker 1: and the AFC South and the AFC West is what's

2274
02:04:07,360 --> 02:04:10,240
Speaker 1: interesting here, right the Ravens, because I think we all

2275
02:04:10,280 --> 02:04:12,760
Speaker 1: agree that the Dolphins are probably going to fall off

2276
02:04:12,800 --> 02:04:15,760
Speaker 1: here just based on their strength of schedule. If listen,

2277
02:04:15,840 --> 02:04:18,800
Speaker 1: if the Ravens c C England, if the Ravens beat

2278
02:04:18,840 --> 02:04:22,960
Speaker 1: Cleveland this weekend, they finished with Jacksonville, the Giants and

2279
02:04:23,080 --> 02:04:24,960
Speaker 1: the Bengals, they might run the table. If they win

2280
02:04:25,040 --> 02:04:29,800
Speaker 1: this week that's eleven and that's eleven and five. That's

2281
02:04:30,000 --> 02:04:35,400
Speaker 1: nuts you're gonna have. You could have potentially two wild

2282
02:04:35,480 --> 02:04:40,280
Speaker 1: card teams finish eleven and five in the AFC, potentially three.

2283
02:04:40,520 --> 02:04:46,920
Speaker 1: The AFC is stacked this year. Three the AFC is stacked, Steve,

2284
02:04:47,040 --> 02:04:49,680
Speaker 1: you might not have. Well, one division winner is not

2285
02:04:49,760 --> 02:04:51,680
Speaker 1: going to finish eleven and five in the NFC. We

2286
02:04:51,800 --> 02:04:54,600
Speaker 1: know that the NFC East doesn't have a team that

2287
02:04:55,080 --> 02:05:03,000
Speaker 1: has fewer than um seven losses right now, right, Rams

2288
02:05:03,080 --> 02:05:05,960
Speaker 1: could conceivably get to eleven and five. Green Bay will

2289
02:05:06,000 --> 02:05:08,640
Speaker 1: probably get to eleven and five. New Orleans probably gets

2290
02:05:08,680 --> 02:05:11,360
Speaker 1: to eleven and five. So three of their division winners

2291
02:05:11,360 --> 02:05:13,600
Speaker 1: are probably eleven and five. Ain't a way in hell

2292
02:05:13,680 --> 02:05:15,760
Speaker 1: any of their wild card teams are gonna be eleven

2293
02:05:15,840 --> 02:05:19,040
Speaker 1: and five. In the NFC, you could have two wild

2294
02:05:19,120 --> 02:05:21,280
Speaker 1: card teams finish eleven and five. In the AF you

2295
02:05:21,320 --> 02:05:25,200
Speaker 1: could have three if the Vegas has got Indianapolis this week.

2296
02:05:26,240 --> 02:05:31,240
Speaker 1: But then they go Chargers, Dolphins, Broncos. They're not going

2297
02:05:31,280 --> 02:05:33,280
Speaker 1: to run the table at seven and five with that record,

2298
02:05:33,400 --> 02:05:38,600
Speaker 1: right with that right, Colts are tough. The Chargers are

2299
02:05:38,640 --> 02:05:41,839
Speaker 1: given the Charger the Dolphins. I hope they beat the Dolphins.

2300
02:05:42,440 --> 02:05:44,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if they can beat the Dolphins and

2301
02:05:44,160 --> 02:05:48,400
Speaker 1: then they'll beat the Broncos. That's that. The Raiders right there,

2302
02:05:48,480 --> 02:05:52,320
Speaker 1: are are a little bit of a wild card. They're

2303
02:05:52,320 --> 02:05:54,560
Speaker 1: not running the table though, they're not finishing eleven and five.

2304
02:05:54,640 --> 02:05:58,560
Speaker 1: There's no way they're not doing that. The Raiders, No,

2305
02:05:59,120 --> 02:06:03,720
Speaker 1: you don't think, uh, they're not consistent enough. Yeah, I

2306
02:06:03,800 --> 02:06:06,040
Speaker 1: don't see them beating the Colt You're just barely beating

2307
02:06:06,080 --> 02:06:10,840
Speaker 1: the Jets, you'd think they're kind of done. Then, yeah,

2308
02:06:11,600 --> 02:06:13,880
Speaker 1: I don't think they beat the Colts this week. I

2309
02:06:13,960 --> 02:06:16,440
Speaker 1: think they go to seven and six this week alone,

2310
02:06:17,080 --> 02:06:19,920
Speaker 1: So right there, that's they're ten and six. So yeah,

2311
02:06:20,000 --> 02:06:22,720
Speaker 1: that ten and six may not get you in. It's

2312
02:06:22,760 --> 02:06:24,880
Speaker 1: my point. Well, that's the crazy thing about the AFC.

2313
02:06:25,040 --> 02:06:28,720
Speaker 1: When's the last time Well, it's never was seven. Well

2314
02:06:28,760 --> 02:06:31,040
Speaker 1: I know that, but I would even go back and look,

2315
02:06:31,080 --> 02:06:34,400
Speaker 1: when is the last time the two AFC wild card

2316
02:06:34,480 --> 02:06:39,040
Speaker 1: representatives in the we're eleven and we're both eleven and five.

2317
02:06:39,360 --> 02:06:41,920
Speaker 1: I know the Bills in ninety nine were a wild

2318
02:06:42,000 --> 02:06:46,040
Speaker 1: card team at eleven and five. Um, I remember that,

2319
02:06:47,040 --> 02:06:49,560
Speaker 1: so were we. We're nine and seven and ninety nine.

2320
02:06:51,640 --> 02:06:54,120
Speaker 1: It was ninety nine. They were eleven and five and

2321
02:06:54,200 --> 02:06:55,800
Speaker 1: they were a wild card team and had to play

2322
02:06:55,840 --> 02:06:58,960
Speaker 1: on the road in Pittsburgh, I mean in Tennessee. That's

2323
02:06:58,960 --> 02:07:02,760
Speaker 1: the throwback. Yeah, uh, back in the day when we

2324
02:07:02,840 --> 02:07:07,840
Speaker 1: were getting ready for the playoffs. We're in a wide receiver.

2325
02:07:07,960 --> 02:07:10,600
Speaker 1: I was in a wide receiver meeting Nick Nikolaus at

2326
02:07:10,600 --> 02:07:12,360
Speaker 1: the front of the room. God rest his soul. He

2327
02:07:12,520 --> 02:07:18,200
Speaker 1: was the greatest position coach of all time. He put

2328
02:07:18,280 --> 02:07:20,000
Speaker 1: it up on the board, says, Hey, listen, guys, here's

2329
02:07:20,000 --> 02:07:22,960
Speaker 1: what it is. We gotta if this happens to us, good.

2330
02:07:23,000 --> 02:07:25,240
Speaker 1: But if this and this and this and this happened,

2331
02:07:25,960 --> 02:07:27,880
Speaker 1: it's also you know, we clinched and all that. He

2332
02:07:28,000 --> 02:07:30,640
Speaker 1: gave us all this scenario. He goes, and I know,

2333
02:07:30,760 --> 02:07:32,400
Speaker 1: he goes on, and then we're like, oh God, come on, coach,

2334
02:07:32,400 --> 02:07:34,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna say. He goes, let me tell you something

2335
02:07:34,880 --> 02:07:36,880
Speaker 1: I was playing. I was wide receiver coach for the

2336
02:07:36,920 --> 02:07:40,400
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos and we had to win. If we won,

2337
02:07:41,160 --> 02:07:46,440
Speaker 1: and five other things happened, we got in. He's all

2338
02:07:46,480 --> 02:07:50,800
Speaker 1: five of them happened. He goes, let it happens, and

2339
02:07:50,920 --> 02:07:53,000
Speaker 1: he goes. I was also there on a year when

2340
02:07:53,040 --> 02:07:55,800
Speaker 1: we were eleven and five and it happened to us

2341
02:07:56,320 --> 02:07:59,720
Speaker 1: we were out at eleven and five. Wow, that was

2342
02:07:59,760 --> 02:08:02,600
Speaker 1: when Who's with Denver and who knows better than Bill's

2343
02:08:02,640 --> 02:08:05,120
Speaker 1: fans that if you win your game and then you

2344
02:08:05,200 --> 02:08:07,960
Speaker 1: sit back and watch, maybe Andy Dalton throws a fourth

2345
02:08:08,000 --> 02:08:14,000
Speaker 1: and ten pass Tyler Boyd and you're in that could

2346
02:08:14,120 --> 02:08:16,760
Speaker 1: that listen, think about the final weekend of the season.

2347
02:08:16,800 --> 02:08:18,760
Speaker 1: If all this stuff happens you've got got teams that

2348
02:08:18,840 --> 02:08:21,640
Speaker 1: are that are good. I think they're playing good and

2349
02:08:21,760 --> 02:08:24,200
Speaker 1: they need one thing to happen. I think we're on

2350
02:08:24,240 --> 02:08:26,400
Speaker 1: a collision course for that for one of these teams

2351
02:08:26,440 --> 02:08:28,720
Speaker 1: in the AFC. I think that that kind of a

2352
02:08:28,800 --> 02:08:32,200
Speaker 1: scenario that we saw in twenty seventeen. I think we're

2353
02:08:32,280 --> 02:08:35,520
Speaker 1: we're on a collision course for that. We're as tightly

2354
02:08:35,600 --> 02:08:37,680
Speaker 1: packed as it is, and there's a ton of team.

2355
02:08:37,720 --> 02:08:42,080
Speaker 1: There's nine teams that are within not just shouting distance,

2356
02:08:43,200 --> 02:08:46,440
Speaker 1: but rock throwing distance. Yeah. I don't know if that's

2357
02:08:46,560 --> 02:08:48,800
Speaker 1: is that closer you throw? Yeah? I think, well, it

2358
02:08:48,840 --> 02:08:50,600
Speaker 1: depends how loud you are you can and how you

2359
02:08:50,640 --> 02:08:52,920
Speaker 1: can shout. You can shout across the Niagara Falls, but

2360
02:08:53,720 --> 02:08:57,360
Speaker 1: you can't throw a rock that front. Well, right, whatever's closer,

2361
02:08:58,240 --> 02:09:01,240
Speaker 1: shouting or rock throwing, whatever's closer. That's what how many

2362
02:09:01,280 --> 02:09:04,560
Speaker 1: teams are in the playoff mix. And to remind Bills

2363
02:09:04,640 --> 02:09:07,040
Speaker 1: fans what has to happen this week for the Bills

2364
02:09:07,080 --> 02:09:09,840
Speaker 1: to clinch a playoff spot. They obviously have to beat

2365
02:09:09,920 --> 02:09:13,000
Speaker 1: the Steelers, and then Baltimore would need to lose to

2366
02:09:13,080 --> 02:09:16,080
Speaker 1: Cleveland on Monday night. New England would have to lose

2367
02:09:16,160 --> 02:09:19,920
Speaker 1: tonight to the Rams, Miami has to lose to Kansas City,

2368
02:09:20,360 --> 02:09:22,960
Speaker 1: and Las Vegas would have to lose to Indy. So

2369
02:09:23,680 --> 02:09:26,760
Speaker 1: we will know by tomorrow if we got a chance,

2370
02:09:26,840 --> 02:09:30,160
Speaker 1: if if that scenario still is alive, because if New

2371
02:09:30,200 --> 02:09:33,360
Speaker 1: England loses to the Rams, then the opportunity is still there.

2372
02:09:33,440 --> 02:09:35,400
Speaker 1: And then even if you win and beat the Steelers,

2373
02:09:35,440 --> 02:09:38,600
Speaker 1: you still won't know. Righty night. We can talk ourselves

2374
02:09:38,640 --> 02:09:40,600
Speaker 1: into it, but that didn't mean it's going to happen, right,

2375
02:09:40,720 --> 02:09:43,840
Speaker 1: So this is really going to come down to a

2376
02:09:43,960 --> 02:09:46,080
Speaker 1: tight race in the AFC. And I'll tell you this,

2377
02:09:46,280 --> 02:09:48,880
Speaker 1: it is so fun to have your team and as

2378
02:09:49,000 --> 02:09:52,040
Speaker 1: as my saying goes neck deep in it, yeah, before

2379
02:09:52,080 --> 02:09:54,800
Speaker 1: we go eyeballs deep in it, when does that happen?

2380
02:09:55,040 --> 02:09:58,080
Speaker 1: That's gonna happen. Yeah, when we start seeing when we

2381
02:09:58,160 --> 02:10:00,240
Speaker 1: start seem I'll tell you when it starts. When you

2382
02:10:00,320 --> 02:10:02,360
Speaker 1: start seeing that helmet with the arrowhead on the side

2383
02:10:02,400 --> 02:10:04,480
Speaker 1: of it. Oh, when you're getting that's when that's when

2384
02:10:04,520 --> 02:10:07,840
Speaker 1: you're on a collision course right there. Okay, that's eyeball deep.

2385
02:10:07,920 --> 02:10:09,840
Speaker 1: When the chiefs are on the radar, you're the chiefs.

2386
02:10:09,960 --> 02:10:12,400
Speaker 1: When the chiefs are on the on the horizon. That's

2387
02:10:12,440 --> 02:10:16,320
Speaker 1: when your eyeballs camp in. All right, that is eyeball deep.

2388
02:10:16,720 --> 02:10:20,720
Speaker 1: You heard it here on December tenth. We go from

2389
02:10:20,840 --> 02:10:23,760
Speaker 1: neck deep to eyeballs deep when the chiefs are on

2390
02:10:23,840 --> 02:10:26,720
Speaker 1: the horizon, when the chiefs are circling back. That is

2391
02:10:26,760 --> 02:10:29,760
Speaker 1: a there is if there was ever a line of demarcation,

2392
02:10:30,560 --> 02:10:33,560
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker has just provided it. That is it. All right,

2393
02:10:33,680 --> 02:10:36,080
Speaker 1: break time for us, look at this. We've got what

2394
02:10:36,160 --> 02:10:38,280
Speaker 1: have we learned next? We may have already learned something

2395
02:10:38,640 --> 02:10:41,120
Speaker 1: from this last segment in terms of going from neck

2396
02:10:41,160 --> 02:10:43,520
Speaker 1: to eyeball deep, but I guess we'll find out something

2397
02:10:43,560 --> 02:10:45,600
Speaker 1: else that we learned on today's show. When we return

2398
02:10:45,920 --> 02:10:48,040
Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live, presented by Collid to Health,

2399
02:10:48,080 --> 02:11:05,080
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio time for what have we learned?

2400
02:11:05,120 --> 02:11:08,120
Speaker 1: Brought to you by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental

2401
02:11:08,200 --> 02:11:12,720
Speaker 1: company of the Buffalo Bills. We learned what going from

2402
02:11:12,800 --> 02:11:15,240
Speaker 1: neck deep to eyeball deep was in the last segments, right,

2403
02:11:15,240 --> 02:11:17,640
Speaker 1: it's when the chiefs are on the horizon. Another thing

2404
02:11:17,720 --> 02:11:19,760
Speaker 1: that I learned this is more of a personal note, Steve.

2405
02:11:20,440 --> 02:11:23,480
Speaker 1: I learned that my twelve year old dog no longer

2406
02:11:23,520 --> 02:11:26,120
Speaker 1: gives a hoot about anything. This is one of the

2407
02:11:26,200 --> 02:11:31,960
Speaker 1: most well behaved dogs. She's a rescue. But it was

2408
02:11:32,000 --> 02:11:34,320
Speaker 1: clear to me that her previous owner trained her well

2409
02:11:34,440 --> 02:11:38,120
Speaker 1: because we had it made with her like response to commands,

2410
02:11:38,960 --> 02:11:42,120
Speaker 1: knows not to come upstairs, certain rooms in the house

2411
02:11:42,160 --> 02:11:43,880
Speaker 1: that are off limits, like you don't have to put

2412
02:11:43,920 --> 02:11:48,040
Speaker 1: a fence up or anything. She just knows a dream. Right.

2413
02:11:49,720 --> 02:11:55,240
Speaker 1: She's turned twelve now, you know, getting gray around and

2414
02:11:56,240 --> 02:12:00,680
Speaker 1: apparently her hunger is through the roof now because we

2415
02:12:00,760 --> 02:12:03,400
Speaker 1: have her on a pretty strict diet dog food only

2416
02:12:03,440 --> 02:12:06,320
Speaker 1: you know, she doesn't get a table scraps, she doesn't

2417
02:12:06,320 --> 02:12:07,800
Speaker 1: get any of that stuff. She'll get a treat every

2418
02:12:07,800 --> 02:12:13,520
Speaker 1: now and then. But uh, I can audibly hear her

2419
02:12:13,600 --> 02:12:19,240
Speaker 1: stomach like growling at times during the day. So you know,

2420
02:12:19,320 --> 02:12:21,080
Speaker 1: we usually leave her to her own devices when we

2421
02:12:21,200 --> 02:12:23,680
Speaker 1: leave the house. So we leave the house the other night,

2422
02:12:23,880 --> 02:12:27,640
Speaker 1: go just go for a walk, you know, we come

2423
02:12:27,680 --> 02:12:31,040
Speaker 1: back and stuff she's gone through the trash in the

2424
02:12:31,160 --> 02:12:33,720
Speaker 1: office and little things like that. Well, she took it

2425
02:12:33,760 --> 02:12:39,560
Speaker 1: to another level, so she was downstairs overnight. We get

2426
02:12:39,640 --> 02:12:42,440
Speaker 1: up in the morning, my wife goes into the living room.

2427
02:12:42,920 --> 02:12:44,360
Speaker 1: I don't know it's going to pick something up or

2428
02:12:44,480 --> 02:12:48,120
Speaker 1: something she left in there. Under the Christmas tree were

2429
02:12:48,160 --> 02:12:50,400
Speaker 1: some early gifts that have arrived in the mail, and

2430
02:12:50,560 --> 02:12:53,640
Speaker 1: one just came in a brown box and it wasn't wrapped.

2431
02:12:53,680 --> 02:12:55,720
Speaker 1: It just had some tissue paper wrapped around whatever the

2432
02:12:55,800 --> 02:12:58,640
Speaker 1: gift was. So my wife didn't like the look of

2433
02:12:58,720 --> 02:13:00,800
Speaker 1: the brown box under the tree, so she took the

2434
02:13:00,840 --> 02:13:03,200
Speaker 1: stuff out and put the tissue paper wrapped thing on

2435
02:13:03,320 --> 02:13:05,200
Speaker 1: the ground, and there were some treats in there as well.

2436
02:13:05,680 --> 02:13:09,080
Speaker 1: She goes into the living room the next day, all

2437
02:13:09,160 --> 02:13:13,280
Speaker 1: of the chocolates were wrapped in tinfoil are gone as

2438
02:13:13,520 --> 02:13:15,840
Speaker 1: and all of the tissue wrapped gift has got her

2439
02:13:15,840 --> 02:13:19,120
Speaker 1: slobber all over it. Dead to right, Feed your dog dog.

2440
02:13:19,280 --> 02:13:24,080
Speaker 1: She's a twild stomach. She ate tinfoil and chocolate, which

2441
02:13:24,120 --> 02:13:27,000
Speaker 1: dogs are not supposed to eat. Needless to say, the

2442
02:13:27,040 --> 02:13:28,920
Speaker 1: next couple of days, we're not fun around the house.

2443
02:13:29,080 --> 02:13:30,960
Speaker 1: Feed your dog man, Come on, we do feed it

2444
02:13:31,040 --> 02:13:33,480
Speaker 1: fat and happy. If Benny doesn't care, take it from me,

2445
02:13:34,080 --> 02:13:36,920
Speaker 1: doesn't care at all. We haven't. Are we having a

2446
02:13:36,960 --> 02:13:39,120
Speaker 1: show tomorrow? Who's on? We do have a show tomorrow.
