1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: All right, well, listen, we're very excited about this AFC

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: Championship Games. We're gonna head out to the kay Common

3
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: Spirit Health Hoighline right now and bring on Broncos defensive

4
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: lineman Zach Allen. Zach, you're on with Dave Logan, Ryan

5
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: Edwards and Rick Lewis. How are you, sir?

6
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 2: There?

7
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 3: Are you do good? We Zach?

8
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 2: We appreciate the time. So you look at the Patriots

9
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 2: and the rushing attack. You look at back last week

10
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 2: the Bills and their running attack. Are there similarities in

11
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 2: terms of sort of how they attack a defense? Speaking

12
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 2: specifically of the rushing.

13
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 3: Attack, they I mean there's a little bit of a difference.

14
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 3: I think, you know, Buffalo did a really good job

15
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,919
Speaker 3: of you know, kind of stretching, stretching you out and

16
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 3: you know running more kind of wide zone concepts and

17
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 3: climbing to the second level quick. This group, you could

18
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 3: tell they're kind of a bully ball type of thing.

19
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 3: More power. They'll have some Yeah, they do still have

20
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 3: you know, some of those kind of you know, zone concepts.

21
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 3: But you know, Josh he'son, you know doing the you

22
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 3: know kind of his leads and the fullback runs. You know,

23
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 3: for so long at such a high level, so you know,

24
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 3: when it's not broke, don't fix it. So yeah, so

25
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 3: they've been kind of mastering in that.

26
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 4: Hey, Zach, congratulations on just a great season. Actually a

27
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 4: couple in a row for you and the team. We

28
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 4: talked about the run game. Drake May second year quarterback

29
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 4: just like Boon Nicks, and you have been putting a

30
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 4: lot of pressure on quarterbacks that they share, in fact,

31
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 4: more than anybody in the league. Are you looking at

32
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 4: this game as, hey, let's stop the run game and

33
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 4: let see if Drake May can beat us with his arm?

34
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 4: Or are you're going to maybe focus more on Drake

35
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 4: May because I think you guys are gonna be able

36
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 4: to get to him.

37
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I think you look at their numbers. You know,

38
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 3: they've been really good at both running the football and

39
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 3: passing it. So you know, it's really going to be

40
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 3: a three down, four down type of day across the board,

41
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 3: so we got to be really locked in on both.

42
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 3: You know, Drake's ahell of a player, and yeah, I mean,

43
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 3: obviously everybody knows what he can do with his arm,

44
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 3: but he's also really talented with his legs, So you know,

45
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 3: kind of in that regard is going to be similar

46
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 3: to last week, you know, where they're able to kind

47
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 3: of attack you both on the ground and in the air.

48
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 3: So it will be a challenge.

49
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: What we're saying for Zach, not that you guys need

50
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: extra motivation for the AFC Championship game, but there is

51
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: there any internal rally around now, a new quarterback stepping

52
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: into jared'stidham and of course what bon Nix means to

53
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: that locker room.

54
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, Jared's been awesome. You know, we came in

55
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 3: together three years ago and you know, every single day

56
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 3: he's prepared. You know, you know, he's the first guy

57
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 3: in the building, last one to lead. The way he

58
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 3: prepares is you know, second to none. So yeah, Jared's

59
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 3: been an incredible and you especially as a guy who's

60
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 3: gone against him so much, you know, the talent and

61
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 3: you know, the the smarts and everything like that, the

62
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 3: mental part, he's he's got all the tools. So now

63
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 3: we're really excited, really excited for you know, Staity to

64
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 3: get going.

65
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 2: We're talking with Zach Allen had a terrific year with

66
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 2: the Broncos up front on the defense. Zach, last question

67
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,399
Speaker 2: for me if if you were to say two things

68
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: that would be ab utmost importance from your perspective from

69
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 2: a defensive standpoint to get accomplished against the Patriots based

70
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 2: on what you've seen on film. And I mean, what,

71
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 2: what couple of things are really vital for you guys

72
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 2: to get done on Sunday?

73
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the two things are definitely stopping to run,

74
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 3: you know, went in first and second down, and making

75
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 3: sure we keep you know, drinking the in the pocket. Yeah,

76
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 3: that's a lot easier said than done, but yeah, definitely,

77
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 3: you know, when he gets outside the pocket, it's pretty

78
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 3: special what he can do. So if we're able to

79
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 3: just rush Mark together and yeah, get into some you know,

80
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 3: second and long and third and long opportunities, and you know,

81
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 3: it will be a good spot for us. Zach.

82
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 4: The defense has been a takeaway machine the last couple

83
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 4: of games, and Drake May has been turning the ball

84
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 4: over at an alarming rate the past games when it

85
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 4: comes to turnovers and takeaways.

86
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 3: How is it that that.

87
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 4: Change for this defense because most of the season we

88
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 4: didn't see that. What are you guys doing differently here

89
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 4: in the last couple of games.

90
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, we just really, you know, kind of put an

91
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 3: emphasis on it more and practice really are working and

92
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 3: more so Yeah, when we uh, you know, it's nice

93
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 3: to see kind of you know, the stuff in the

94
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 3: practice field translating to the game and yeah, hopefully we

95
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 3: can keep it going this week, Zach.

96
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: Last one for me, really appreciate the time again you

00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: And then sort of what are your expectations this week

Speaker 1: in THEFC Championship game.

101
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, the last game was incredible what they were doing.

102
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 3: And yeah, no, that's a big reason why you know,

103
