1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: We've tried to be very smart about how you put

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: the plan together. Obviously had an offseason this year, so

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: that was different. But feel like the guys have a

4
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: good understanding of what we're doing on all three sides

5
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: of the ball. Now is the time to compete. This

6
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,239

Speaker 1: Coming up on the show, we will hear from the

Speaker 1: head coach of the Cleveland Browns, Kevin Stefanski, as well

18
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: as long snapper Charlie Hewlett. He is on site here

19
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: at Razzles. We got bud Light specials all night long

20
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: as they're sponsoring our trip out here to the Great Razzles,

21
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 1: the fun Place, all right, Gerarde. Earlier today we found

22
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: out that the Cleveland Browns will be playing in Detroit.

23
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: This is the game originally scheduled to be in Buffalo.

24
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: We know that there is a massive snow event happening

25
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: in Buffalo up to six ft. The NFL today making

26
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: the decision that the game will move to Ford Field

27
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: in Detroit. Ralph josh Allen four no inside of a dome,

28
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: seventies eleven percent completion, two eight six yards a game,

29
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: two and a half touchdowns a game, and a quarterback

30
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: rating of one eighteen four and oh indoors. But this

31
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: is a better environment, maybe not better for the Browns.

32
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: But let me ask you, as a player, You're expecting

33
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: to have a home game. You're expecting to sleep in

34
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: your in your own bed for the majority of the

35
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: week before you go to the team hotel the night

36
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: before the game. You have your routine for a home game.

37
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: All of a sudden you're going to Detroit. You'll play

38
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: in Detroit again on Thursday. Does this have any psychological

39
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: impact at all on the Buffalo Bills? Not at all?

40
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: Because you're used to you're used to moving around. And

41
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: the reason why it doesn't even have any psychological changes

42
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: for you is because of the simple fact you're gonna

43
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: be in pristine conditions. You were preparing yourself to be

44
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: in hardened weather in which it was gonna inclement and

45
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 1: you don't know what you're dealing with. Now you're in

46
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: a situation where it's controlled temperature. It's gonna be sending

47
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: two to seventy degrees or seventi to so that's perfect conditions.

48
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 1: So with that in mind, your job just got easier.

49
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: And considering all the issues that the Detroit Lines excuse me,

50
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: the uffle though bills are having with injuries and guys

51
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: being sick and just being beat up, this is a

52
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: break for them. It's almost like a vacation when you

53
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: go into these type of conditions because generally speak, when

54
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: you're a cold weather climate and you play on that

55
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: type of the squad, you're mantally preparing yourself to deal

56
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: with the weather. And it is much easier, trust me,

57
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: much easier and much more convenient to be in a

58
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: situation whereas the indoors stadium as opposed to plan outside.

59
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: So if anything, they didn't. They gotta break. I think

60
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: they did as well, because they are a passing football

61
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: team and it's difficult to pass, and inclement whether it

62
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: is very easy to pass inside of the domes. The

63
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: one thing that we could see is I don't know

64
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: when they're coming out of there if that effects their

65
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: routine at all, depending on when they travel. But obviously,

66
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: I think if you're a Bills fan, this is probably

67
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: very good news too. You're saying you can't go to

68
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: the game and see them in person, but from a

69
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: team standpoint, in a game where look, the six and

70
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: three Bills want to get a w. They're coming off

71
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: of back to back losses to the Jets and to

72
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings, both by three points. They want to

73
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: get a win. They want to keep pace and what

74
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: is now an electric a FC East. And for the Browns,

75
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: you know, you were kind of hoping it could get

76
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: mucked up and that you'd be able to run the

77
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: ball with Nick Chubb against the run defense that due

78
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: to those injuries, has struggled the last three weeks of

79
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. But now you're gonna be in a

80
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: dome on a fast track, and certainly it favors Bills.

81
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: The total in this game, the over under jumped about

82
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: a touchdown the Bills. They were eight point favorites now

83
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: nine and a half, so that expanded as well. One

84
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: quick note for everybody out there who are trying to

85
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: get to this game. Bills season ticket members will have

86
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: their accounts automatically credited for the Browns game as an

87
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: account credit signal to just just for the this. For

88
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: the Bills side of things, purchase through the Bills ticket office,

89
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna get their payment back on Ticketmasters, so they're

90
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: gonna be refunding all of the people in Buffalo to

91
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: get them to this game. And for the Browns fans

92
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: you know, will have information readily available at Clem Browns

93
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: dot com, the Brown's mobile app on how you can

94
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: get to Detroit to go and see this game, which

95
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: is certainly a much easier drive now than it would

96
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: have been heading out to Buffalo. Some injury updates for

97
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: you from today's practice for the Browns. Good news. David

98
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: Najoku back at practice in the limited fashion, but that

99
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: is a very good sign able to put in a

100
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: limited practice on a Thursday. I would say he is

101
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: trending to play in this game. J Ok a full

102
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: participant practice for each of the last two days. Wyatt

103
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 1: Teller a full participant, which means he's getting back to

104
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: and clearly was not down in Miami for the Bills.

105
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: Josh Allen limited with his right elbow, but he's playing.

106
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: This is the big one though. Middle linebacker Tremaine Edmonds,

107
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: who has four straight seasons with more than a hundred

108
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: tackles and as the leading tackler on this football team.

109
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: He's a stunt. Pro Football focuses number two linebacker their

110
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 1: number one coverage linebacker. He left last week with a

111
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: heal and groin injury. He d n pete again today,

112
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: did not practice second straight day, along with Greg Russo,

113
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: who did not play last week due to an ankle injury.

114
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: He's second on their team with five sacks. Their first

115
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: round pick back in one. So some big injuries for

116
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: them there, and we still know Micah Hides out for

117
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: the year. Will Tradevious White make his debut we haven't

118
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: seen him in two Jordan's ployer has only played in

119
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 1: five games, still has four picks more than our whole team,

120
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: still has four picks, but will he play? So they

121
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: are a little bit banged up there for the Brown

122
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: certainly on the defensive side, Grove certainly. But here's the thing.

123
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: When you go from that cold weather game that you're

124
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: anticipating and expecting to play and all of a sudden

125
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: you find yourself in a in a dome, it does

126
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: different things to your body because when you playing in

127
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: the cold, when it hurts to play the coal and

128
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: that's the mental toughness part that has to kick in.

129
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: Now you alleviate that. So guys who were maybe on

130
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: the fence about plan because when you're in that type

131
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: of a weather change of thirty something twenty below, the

132
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: next thing you know like I can't go out there

133
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: and that my body won't respond to react. But when

134
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: you're now in seventy to seventy two, guess what I

135
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: feel warmer, I feel loosen. The things that were tight

136
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: are definitely gonna loosen up. So it gives you the

137
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: chance to say, you know what I feel, come in

138
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: the state to where I can go play. So for

139
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: those guys their own offense, I'm willing to bet you

140
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: that now they're saying, yeah, I could go. I could

141
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: definitely go out there and do this because the conditions

142
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: have changed. They have, and let's start with this Buffalo

143
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: Bill's defense. They are very good. Number eight total defense,

144
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: number two scoring defense, Number seven against the run, although

145
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: we'll talk about the tail of two seasons. Their number

146
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: seven in sacks, third most takeaways. They tied for the

147
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: league lead with thirteen interceptions already, gerd Less Fraser third

148
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: in the red zone and yards will play there eighth.

149
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: You mentioned Leslie Fraser. They're great defensive coordinator. This is

150
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: a team that can rush the quarterback up front, led

151
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: by Von Miller, who's got eight sacks so far this season,

152
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: six in the NFL. They've got great linebackers. Will see

153
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: about Edmonds, but Matt Milano is one of the best

154
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: cover linebackers in the league so far. Already two interceptions

155
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: this season. And then on the back end. Not a

156
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: lot of names, you know, but they are playing very,

157
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: very well and they have done a great job. Hence

158
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: the thirteen interceptions. They have four guys with two or more.

159
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier defense, What does that mean to you? It

160
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: seems like they play nickel exclusively. They are the highest

161
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: subpackage team in the league. They don't necessarily load the box.

162
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: That kind of dare you to run it, but their

163
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: darn effective well. Considering that I played in the Leslie

164
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: Frasier where he was my secondary coach, Jim Johnson was

165
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: the deepens coordinator time when I was with the Eagles,

166
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: much hasn't deviated from that. Has always been the opportunistic

167
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: defense in which you're trying to force turnovers, get after

168
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: the quarterback, and making sure that your secondary is making plays.

169
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: And correct me if I'm wrong, Nathan, Is that a

170
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: current still taking place? It most certainly is they're taking

171
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: the football away at a high rate, and they'll do

172
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: a phenomenal job of just making sure that all three

173
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: levels of the defense has guys that can make plays.

174
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: And you just named it out there. Everyone on that

175
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: defense is capable of making a big play and has

176
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: made a big play. So what they want to do

177
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 1: is put pressure constantly and relentlessly on you, and they

178
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: do a great job of that. So if you think

179
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: in this game you're gonna get a break of sometimes

180
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: arrest of it not the case. Their whole idea is

181
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: about from Jim Johnson's philosophy, the to what put pressure

182
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: on you. I'm gonna bring a cornerback at times I'm

183
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: gonna be a safety at times, I'm gonna bring a

184
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: linebacker and I'm gonna damn sure and make sure that

185
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: my fast rush can get to you in any way

186
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: shape flight former fashion. Well, that's the problem is that

187
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: you know they don't have to blitz much right now

188
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,839
Speaker 1: on past plays fiftcent last in the league. So when

189
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: they do bring it, they get there. But why they

190
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: can get home with four? Miller's got eight, sex Rousseau

191
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: has got five, sex a g A. J Appenza has

192
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: got three and a half. Boogie Bashton's got to They

193
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: have three more guys with one and a half. They

194
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: have twenty seven sacks on the season in nine games.

195
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: That's three a game. And so when you can generate

196
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: pressure with four and it allows you to put seven

197
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: in coverage. And you know, one of the things they

198
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: do so well is disguise their coverage. They're about fifty

199
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: fifty meal to the field closed, the middle of the

200
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: field open, but they disguise it very well post snap,

201
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: pre snap, post snap. Sometimes they'll show to drop one in,

202
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: they'll show single high drop them out, and and so

203
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: it's a tough thing for a quarterback to deal with. Well,

204
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 1: it certainly is an interesting thing about it was the

205
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: Sean McDermot. When I was with the Eagles, Nathan, he

206
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 1: was the quality control UH defense and now he finds

207
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: himself being a very successful head coach and he's teamed

208
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: up with Leslie Fraser and they're doing one heck of

209
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: a job with their defense. But that's the defense side

210
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: the ball, because obviously that carries a lot of weight,

211
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 1: and for us from a matchup standpoint, it really is

212
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: a situation where Nathan, they saw what they saw on

213
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: tape against the Dolphins and best believed they're gonna probably

214
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 1: more unlikely emulate some aspects of it, because I have

215
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: never seen our offensive line get that dominated before. Now, granted,

216
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: it's a situation where the Dolphins were going on by

217
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: bye week, so you probably got more aval than you

218
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: might normally get from intensity standpoint, because they knew they

219
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: could sell out because they have to leave anything in

220
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: the tank. But you're gonna get two gap technique against

221
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: the run because it was so effective for slowing down

222
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: Nick schubbing interior defense and letting those guys on the

223
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: outside run. So don't be surprised if you see the

224
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: same thing that the Dolphins employer had had so much

225
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: success be used again this week with the with the

226
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: Bills planning Detroit. Yeah, and we'll see the fronts a

227
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: little bit different with these two teams and how they'll

228
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: employ But they've got you mentioned you want some beef

229
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: in the middle uh de Kwon Jones three twenty, Tim

230
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: Settle three thirteen, Big Jordan Phillips three forty one. And

231
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: that's a difference that we've seen other teams interior defensive

232
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: linemen and ours. Ours are significantly lighter. We top out

233
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: at about three pounds and that's become a problem for us. Now,

234
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 1: this is a team. We've said this before though, this

235
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: is a team that doesn't run it well. They don't

236
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: run it often, but we've seen that. We saw that

237
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: with the Chargers and Asa Neckla ran for a thousand

238
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: yards against us. We saw it last week. A team

239
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: that throws it. They bring Jeff Wilson and obviously they

240
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: ran all over us. We have got to get better there.

241
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: But defensively, they've got the beef up front. As you mentioned,

242
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: they make it tough on quarterbacks. Let's flip it to

243
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: that offense now though, because they probably are going to

244
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: throw it, but they're gonna mix in the run with

245
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary as well, Oh you gotta you. It's therefore

246
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: taking And here's the thing. As a defensive player, Yes,

247
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: when you pass a football, you can explosive and make

248
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: it out of reach, and then you can the goal

249
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: is to do what create a scenario to where if

250
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 1: I have explosive plays, I've put you down a spot

251
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: to where from a defensive standpoint, it makes their job

252
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: easier because now you have to do what passed and

253
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: more unlikely get back in the football game. That's the

254
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: game plan and most teams will employ. With that being said, though,

255
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: what you saw last week is that, yeah, you can jab,

256
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: jab jab in the first quarter, keep it even then

257
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 1: all of a sudden we're a team down beer the run,

258
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: and that's more debilitating, that's more damaging, and that hurts

259
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: your psyche more when you're getting run upon as opposed

260
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: to being passed. And at some point, once you get

261
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: that yards and you feel the impact of being ran on,

262
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 1: you have nothing left in the fourth quarter, and then

263
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: it's just basically a case of whose will is stronger.

264
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: And what we've seen on multiple occasions is that our

265
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: will simply has not been there. No, it hasn't been

266
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: good enough. Certainly, as we know the Browns going to

267
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: this one on defense thirty feet and scoring defense. That's

268
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: not good. When you're gonna gets the number two scoring offense,

269
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: it's probably pretty good. Bills number two in scoring offense,

270
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: number two and scoring defense. They are the number one

271
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 1: total offense, second in passing, first on third downs, fifth

272
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: on big plays, first in yards for play. Their achilles

273
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: hell though, turnovers. That is where they've been. They've turned

274
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: the ball over more than any team in the league

275
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: so far this season. Josh Allen ten interceptions on the year.

276
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: He has thrown six in the last three games to

277
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: a piece. But still we're talking about six completion yards

278
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: third in the league, twenty touchdown second, eight yards per attempt,

279
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: the ten picks, and then he can run it four

280
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy six yards rushing, seven yards of carry

281
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: and four touchdowns. He's there leading rusher. He is obviously

282
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: their leading passer. He has accounted for three thousand, two

283
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: hundred and nine yards of offense this year, most of

284
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: anybody in the league, and the third most in NFL

285
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 1: history through nine games. Right, and as you see is

286
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: taking his toll on his buddy because he's once again

287
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: going through a situation where he's not practicing because of

288
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: all that production that you heard right there. And Josh

289
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: Allen is a phenomenal football player, but he also has

290
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: his trade. And Bill Belichick called it with Ben Roethlisberger

291
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: very similar in misregard, and Brett fav also had his

292
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 1: problem as well, and that every football game that you

293
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: watched these guys play in which they're throwing a football

294
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: a lot, they are going to give you two to

295
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: three chances to intercept the football based upon too much hubers,

296
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: too much confidence, and then that they can fit the

297
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: ball in any situation no matter what, and it costs

298
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: them dearly. And it has definitely been costing the Bills

299
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: because that gaining lost last week to the Vikings was

300
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: truly due to the fact that he was doing too

301
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: me bad things at the wrong time. Not a fumble

302
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: can't explain that. One don't understand what took place with that,

303
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: but the interceptions that he through that was simply saying

304
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: I can get it in there, I can force it.

305
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: And obviously you want a guy to have his have confidence,

306
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: but he's gonna give you those opportunities. So for our defense,

307
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: when we get those chances in which he's going to

308
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: give you mark my words, Nathan, when you when you

309
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: see it, you'll be like Gerarde told me, two to

310
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: three chances. You're gonna see it. There's no doubt, and

311
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: you gotta take advantage of him. As you said, six

312
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: in the last three weeks, four games with two interceptions

313
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: this season, most in the NFL. And here's the thing

314
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: that's wild. Three of these interceptions have come in the

315
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: red zone, and that's where you can turn a scoring

316
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: drive to a big momentum swing for your team. In

317
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: the first sixty seven games of Josh Allen's career in

318
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: the red zone, seventy nine touchdowns, two interceptions. In the

319
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: last three games two touchdowns, three interceptions. So right now

320
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: he's not seen in the red zone. The Browns need

321
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: to be able to take advantage of that because he

322
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: can throw a deep Stefen Diggs, we didn'tven get a

323
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: chance to talk about him playing it an elite, elite level.

324
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: Gave Davis Amergin over twenty yards of catch as well.

325
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: This is a great offense and we will talk about

326
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs right now seventy two catches, nine hundred and

327
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: eighty five yards and seven touchdowns. It's week nine, guys

328
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: are putting those That's a great full season, right, that

329
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: used to be a season. And he's third in the

330
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: league in receiving a guy who led the league a

331
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. Just an unreal route runner drive exactly.

332
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: And what impresses you about it, Nathan is that he

333
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: plays with the intensity of a defensive player and how

334
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: he goes about playing offense because normally you think a

335
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: wire receiver guys definitely they have that diva element about him,

336
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: but he has an element of toughness that you appreciate

337
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: because he's going to get in your face. He's going

338
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: to challenge you, and he's gonna talk what we call

339
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: cash you know what to you, So you better bring

340
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: more than your a game when he played against this guy,

341
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: because he's gonna have the intensity to bring to the

342
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: table with the idea that hey, I'm trying to embarrass

343
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: you and you've got to be ready. He is going

344
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: to get the ball. He's averaginga leven targets a game

345
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: this year, eight catches a game, both second in the league.

346
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: He's got a hundred yards and four of the last five.

347
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: But then they also have gave Davis and gave Davis

348
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: is the guy that, in some ways is kind of

349
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: the lynchpin. Digs is the constant throughout all four quarters.

350
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: Gave Davis averaging twenty three yards a catch that leads

351
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: the NFL amongst the top thirty receivers in the league.

352
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: Billy has twenty four catches. They've gone for five d

353
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: forty four yards, five touchdowns. What's crazy is in the

354
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: four games in which he's caught a touchdown six team

355
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: catches four hundred twenty six yards, five touchdowns, four games

356
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: without a touchdown eight catches one eight teen and no

357
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: touchdowns under forty yards every game. He is big six

358
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: two to twenty five. He could run, and he is

359
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: a feaster famine, big play wide receiver exactly. He's the

360
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: guy that goes under rado. But when you turn on

361
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: the film you certainly see his exploits and his ability

362
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: to make big plays. Think about the first game of

363
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: the season, you have walked away like Gabe David is

364
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: about to have an m v P year. Not granted,

365
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: they got back to Diggs being the focal point of

366
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: their wide receiver and vertical passing attack. But at the

367
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: same time, Davis brings that elment to where you better

368
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: have a one and a one B cornerback situation because

369
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: if you don't, as you just describe feasts or famine

370
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 1: and in situations like that, Nathan, what we have to

371
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: do with both these guys, it can't be this what

372
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 1: we saw last week, in my opinion, and what I

373
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: felt we did last week was took the approach of

374
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: we're worried about these guys running bias. You have to

375
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 1: be aggressive with these guys. You have to take the

376
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 1: mentality that I am going to bump and run you

377
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: and I'm going to physically punish you and make it

378
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: a battle of who wants it more from a physical standpoint,

379
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: And yes, I can run and you can run, but

380
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: let's make it physical at the line scrimature. When you

381
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: tackle them, your body slamming them, you're making it a

382
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 1: very physical and tough game and make them think and

383
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: earn every time they catch the football with the understanding

384
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: that hey, I'm getting after you. But if you go

385
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: with that, we're gonna be soft, We're gonna bill, We're

386
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: gonna play all men they're gonna eat you alive. Let

387
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: me ask you this because one thing and kind of

388
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: watching this team that that has stood out to me

389
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: that is so different from Miami, but so similar to

390
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: a team that we actually played very well against, which

391
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: is Cincinnati. Miami all the motion pre snap they leave

392
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: the league in pre snap motion. They get that wheel

393
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: motion going, which is s mart, almost feels unfair with

394
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 1: the speed and tyree killing waddle. They run all the

395
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: r p o s and their play action there, it's

396
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: like one of the highest rates of play action, one

397
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: of the highest fans and the highest rates emotion league.

398
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: The Bills are much more like the Bengals, very little

399
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: motion pre snap, in shotgun, very little play action, traditional

400
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 1: play action. There are some r p o s obviously,

401
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: but for the most part, they're a dropped back passing team.

402
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: Those are the kind of teams traditionally we have done

403
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: well against under Joe Woods. What does that how why

404
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 1: does that help the defensive back when a team lines up,

405
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: here's what we're doing, and they're just dropped back passing,

406
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: as opposed to all that motion pre snap and everything

407
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: that was going on with Miami. Well, a couple of

408
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: things in regards of Miami, it's almost like you're playing

409
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: the Canadian Football League. See when you get that dynamic

410
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: working for you where they're running, and then when you

411
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: have a situation where it's stationary, you as a dB,

412
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: you have your plans as well. Okay, I'm inside leverage,

413
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: he's line up right here, I'm gonna take this away,

414
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: or I'm gonna be on outside leverage he gives in

415
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: this move. I've been gonna anticipate this. You could do

416
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: all that thinking when it's stationary, but when the guys

417
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: on the flying on the move, now you're like, okay,

418
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: how do I just how adapt? Okay, how's this impact

419
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: the guy next to me? We do I have to

420
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: have my fit down from the run. All those things

421
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: have to start circulating your mind, and that's what makes

422
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: it much more challenging. But ultimately, here's the thing. If

423
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: you don't get a pass rush Nathan doesn't matter, It

424
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. And we had a situation last week where

425
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: guys were truly getting blocked one on one. Yeah they were,

426
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: and part of it is that they were waiting on

427
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 1: the RPO action couldn't necessarily pin their ears back this.

428
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 1: I think we'll have an opportunity to pin our ears

429
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: back significantly more, and hopefully Miles and Clowney can get

430
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: after Josh Allen and try to disrupt him. We are

431
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,960

Speaker 1: Hospitals Cleveland Brown's radio network. For me, I'm just trying

445
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: to make the right decision for each of our players.

446
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: This is the Coach Kevin Stefanski Show. You're listening to

447
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: the University Hospitals Cleveland Browns Radio Network. Welcome back to

448
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: the Kevin Stefanski Show, live at Razzles and all along

449
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: the University Hospitals Cleveland Browns Radio Network. Welcoming in the

450
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: head coach of your Cleveland Browns Now, Kevin Stefanski and coach. Look,

451
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: didn't go the way we wanted down in Miami at all.

452
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: What do you take away from that? If anything? Was

453
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: it simply, Uh, this didn't wasn't our day. Flush it.

454
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,239
Speaker 1: Let's get ready for the Buffalo Bills. Yeah, I mean

455
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: you have to. The NFL requires you to move on

456
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: very quickly because you got another one, you know, in

457
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: that locker room after that game. You gotta be ready

458
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: to move on. Having said that, you can't just you know, say, hey,

459
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: we would have, could have? Should it? We gotta look

460
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: at it and see what you can do differently, because

461
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: you gotta use those things moving forward. So it's a

462
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: little bit of both. I just think with the team

463
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: so often, you just gotta be real honest and transparent

464
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: about the tape and what's on there, and then make

465
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: a concerted effort to make corrections and and and put

466
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: forth that effort that's gonna get you a W and

467
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: and there's just too many things in that game obviously

468
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: that we didn't do well enough. Didn't take the ball away,

469
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: we put the ball on the ground, which was uncharacteristic

470
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: for our running back position, UM, and then ultimately didn't

471
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 1: score enough and didn't stop them. So, uh, not a

472
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: good day at the office. But you have to learn

473
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: from it, and then you do have to move on.

474
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: Line is scrimmage. That is always a point of MSS

475
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: for us, controlling line of scrimmage. In that game, we

476
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 1: did not on either side of the ball. How do

477
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: you kind of address that as you get ready for

478
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: a team that looked traditionally doesn't run it, but we

479
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: face some teams that traditionally haven't run it and they've

480
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: had success. How do you get that fixed in a week? Yeah?

481
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: I think it goes back, always goes back to fundamentals

482
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: and technique, it really does. And uh, you know, you

483
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: do have to tip your cap to Miami down there,

484
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: their defensive line, their offensive line, some of the things

485
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: they did. Uh, they did a nice job. We didn't

486
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: ultimately have the success that we're used to. UM, so

487
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 1: you gotta look at it definitely from a schematic lens

488
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 1: and figure out if there's things we can do better

489
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: and things we can do differently. But then at the

490
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: end of the day, what you do when you get

491
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: back uh to practice is you work on fundamentals and techniques.

492
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: That's the game doesn't change from that regard you. You

493
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: really do hone in on on little things your foot placement,

494
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: your hand placement, all those things that allow you to

495
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 1: play good offensive defense. Say with our defense, their offense,

496
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: they are the number one total offense in the NFL,

497
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: the number two scoring offense in the NFL, first on

498
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: third downs, first in yards per play, number two passing.

499
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 1: They're good. Josh Allen is as good as it gets

500
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: at that position in the NFL. They are, however, much

501
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: different than Miami, and I'd said maybe even more similar

502
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati, a team we've had success against shotgun drop back,

503
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: not a whole lot of pre snap motion. What do

504
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: you see from this team on tape? Well every week.

505
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: It's such a unique challenge, like you just mentioned, I mean,

506
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: this scheme is so different than the scheme we previously played.

507
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 1: But they've got great players and starts with the trigger man.

508
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: You know, he's a vast, vast majority of their offense

509
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: just runs through him. Obviously the past game, but quarterback

510
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 1: design runs the RPO game and then the off schedule game.

511
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: That that's a a very very difficult thing to defend

512
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: when the play goes on and on and on, and

513
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: it's a hard thing to get him on the ground.

514
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: As you see, he's a big, big player, he's athletics,

515
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: so it's just a unique challenge when you're defending him.

516
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: And then not to mention some of the weapons that

517
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: they have on the perimeter. So I think part of

518
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: it goes back to giving the guys a playing that

519
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: that we can go execute, we can go play fast,

520
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: we can utilize our strengths versus their strength. Is really

521
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 1: what it comes down to. How much did what Miami

522
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: do with a lot of those motions and that kind

523
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: of quick RPO game, that wheel motion did that hinder

524
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: our ability to get after the quarterback relative to a

525
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 1: team that just drops back per se and throws the football. Yeah,

526
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 1: I think it really comes down to timing, you know,

527
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: and some of those like you mentioned the quick emotion RPOs.

528
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: The ball is coming out quickly when you drop back

529
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: and you're in a five step and seven step game

530
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 1: that you're gonna hold on the ball a little bit longer.

531
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 1: So it really varies by play type and what the

532
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 1: team is trying to do. Are they trying to run

533
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: an r P O running quick game where the ball

534
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 1: is gonna come out? Are they trying to hold the

535
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 1: ball let the receivers get down field and develop, And

536
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: it's really it does. It can change playing and play

537
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: out from from this team, and then it can also

538
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: change week to week. You mentioned Alan three thousand and

539
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: twenty nine yards of total offense just from him alone

540
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: that leads the NFL. But you mentioned they've got talents

541
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: to find digs. Third in the NFL right now with

542
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: seventy two catches, five yards, seven touchdowns. You obviously quite

543
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: familiar with him. When I watch him, it's the nuance

544
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: of his routes that seemed to make himself affect. There

545
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: was one route last week against Pat Pete where in

546
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: three steps he had a corner, made it look like

547
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: he was actually breaking it back inside the post, and

548
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 1: then came back and created about ten yards of separation.

549
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: He's fun to watch. What makes him so good? He

550
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: is fun to watch when you're on the other side

551
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: of it, He's not fun to watch. You know. I've

552
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: been able to watch him over his career. You know,

553
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: was there when we drafted him. I believe in the

554
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: fifth round. UH saw him burst on the scene once

555
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: he got his opportunity. Um. Amazing, amazing person, great person,

556
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: but incredible competitor. I mean, when the ball is in

557
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: the air, he's gonna find a way to get it.

558
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,719
Speaker 1: And he's not six ft five. He just he tracks

559
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: the ball really well down the field. He's extremely sudden

560
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 1: in his movements. You mentioned in his past route running.

561
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: He can stick his right from the ground, left from

562
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: the ground and really explode out of that. So uh,

563
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: a complete wide receiver. He's getting a huge amount of

564
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: volume up there, as you see on tape, as as

565
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,120
Speaker 1: you watch these guys play. So uh, a very very

566
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 1: big challenge for our football team. Again. Eleven targets a game,

567
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: second in the league. Eight catches a hundred nine yards

568
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: and nearly a touchdown per game. They also have Gabe

569
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: Davis kind of feast or famine, but when he hits

570
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: it is big. You know, he's averaging in the games

571
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: where he catches a bomb twenty six point seven yards

572
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: to catch five touchdowns on the season. Kind of a

573
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: nice compliment to Stefon Dix. Yeah, big, big player, I

574
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: mean down the field, physical football player that you come

575
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,640
Speaker 1: up across. And we've played a few guys who are

576
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: like this that balls in the air and they are

577
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 1: physically going to try and go win that one on

578
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: one matchup. So he is a big play receiver for

579
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: them and somebody we have to be very aware of.

580
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: They haven't run the ball a lot. They tried to

581
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,360
Speaker 1: a little bit last week against the Vikings, Devin Singletary

582
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: got his first two rushing touchdowns of the season. How

583
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: do you kind of balance with you know what we

584
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: put on tape recently against the run versus a team

585
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: that traditionally has not run the football much. I think

586
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 1: ultimately it comes down to playing sound defense. Uh. You

587
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: can't say how am I gonna take away just one thing?

588
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 1: You also can't say him and take away everything. So

589
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: for us, it becomes playing sound defense, whether it's man,

590
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 1: whether it's own, whether it's pressure, whether it's playing coverage. Uh. Ultimately,

591
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: and when you're talking about run game, you have your

592
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: run gap fits, you have run responsibility, You have the

593
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: responsibility to shed blocks, you know, deliver a bloat a block,

594
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: shed a block, and make a tackle. So it comes

595
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: back to sound defense. Is it a challenge? It is

596
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: and and this is a unique one and a and

597
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: a great one for our defense. But uh, as long

598
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 1: as we're playing sound defense, we can match up. We've

599
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: seen it against the Ravens, We've seen it against the

600
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. Let's flip now to our offense here, what

601
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: do you want to see this football team do better

602
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: this week relative to down in Miami. You gotta score,

603
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: you gotta score points, and we didn't do that. We

604
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: stubbed our toe down there. On drives to three and four.

605
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 1: I think we went twelve plays and fumbled on the

606
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 1: second drive, went nine plays, turn o round downs in

607
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 1: the third drive, and then in the fourth drive in

608
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 1: a kind of two minute trying to go get points

609
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: before the half, we go four players and punt. Versus

610
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: good football teams, and you're playing one this week as well,

611
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 1: it feels like you're playing one every week. But versus

612
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: good football team, you've gotta maximize your opportunities, especially early

613
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 1: in the football game, because, as we've seen, these games

614
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: can turn. They've turned for us Uh, in positive fashion. Uh.

615
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: You never know what play it's gonna be. But if

616
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 1: you if you're good early, if you're fishing early, you're

617
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: giving yourself a chance. Yeah, and you want to stay

618
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: close to this team. Now, this is a very good defense,

619
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: despite the fact that they have been without key members

620
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: of their secondary Tredavious White has not played yet this year.

621
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: Perhaps he makes his debut this week. Jordan employers in misstime.

622
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: Micah Hyde has been out basically the entire season. This

623
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: is a team, though, that still has thirteen interceptions, tied

624
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: for the most in the league four players with two

625
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: or more player at four and five games for crying

626
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: out loud. Their linebackers Matt Milano, Tremain Tremaine Edmonds can

627
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: both cover. When you look at the back end and say, okay,

628
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: this is a lot of no names out there. How

629
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: are they so effective still against the pass? Yeah, well,

630
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: great pass rush. So the ball is has to come

631
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: out and if you're holding the ball, you're letting this

632
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: pass rush affect you. So it's the classic Russian coverage.

633
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: Go together, and when you can really affect the quarterback

634
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: and get the ball out, you can get tip balls,

635
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: you can play visual on the quarterback. They play a

636
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: good a decent amount of zone obviously some man as well,

637
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: but their visual in the quarterback and getting balls, and

638
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: then they have great ball skills in that secondary. Just

639
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: naming some of their guys when they've shown over the

640
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,479
Speaker 1: course of time they have really good ball skills. So

641
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: they are unique. We get feels like we get a

642
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: unique team every week. Defensively unique, they play exclusively sub

643
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: there nickel sent most in the league dime twot two percent,

644
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: but added up, it's basically they are in sub. They

645
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: use light boxes a lot, and while the last three

646
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: weeks teams have run the ball on them, the first

647
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: six nobody did. Despite that fact, what do you see

648
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: from this team? They're not gonna blitz a ton. They're

649
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: gonna mix their coverages and you know, kind of even

650
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: split the middle field closed. More middle field open than closed,

651
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: but they split it up. But you know who's gonna

652
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: be on the field from that personnel standpoint, yeah, they're

653
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: I think they're just getting their best eleven on the field.

654
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: I mean number seven is an outstanding player as a nickel.

655
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: He can really fit the run great in coverage. They

656
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: play him as a Nickel. He can rotate back to

657
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: play a half field safety, so he's got versatility. He

658
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: really fits their scheme really well. So I think that's

659
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: why they leave Nickel on the field is he's a

660
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: really good player. Um So whether you say he's playing

661
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: a base linebacker or playing a dB, it really doesn't matter.

662
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: They got a good football player on the field. And

663
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: then it's a versatile attack like you mentioned, I mean,

664
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: it's it's about a fifty fifty open versus closed type

665
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: of thing. And then they do a great job in disguise.

666
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: So they're oftentimes showing you too high, they're gonna roll down,

667
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: They're showing you one high, they're gonna roll back. Sometimes

668
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: they just play it so they're trying to keep you

669
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: off balance, blitz justin just enough, you know, just blitz

670
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: whatever the percentages a few times that make sure that

671
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: to keep you honest. But going back to that sound term,

672
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: it's a sound defense that they they sometimes they're they're

673
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: at times gonna try and disguise, but at other times

674
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: you're trying. They're playing their defense and they're gonna say

675
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: that they're gonna play it better than you are. Is

676
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: it wild? Going from a team to put eight in

677
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 1: the box as much as anybody. Last week in the

678
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: Dolphins to a team that has the lightest box, the

679
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: highest percentage of light boxes of any team since two

680
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: thousand and sixteen, and that certainly affects what we want

681
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: to do. Nick Chub the best light box runner in

682
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: the league. Yeah, So it's it's it's interesting because that's

683
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: where you get in these games, and teams oftentimes play

684
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: us a little bit differently than they played previously what

685
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: they put on tape, and I think that speaks to,

686
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: you know, some of the things we do are a

687
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: unique So I know they're in their meeting rooms talking about,

688
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: all right, we gotta do X, Y and Z, and

689
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: here's how we have to do it, and that may

690
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: not be the same game plan versus the teams that

691
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: they've played previously. So for us, you have your rules,

692
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: you have how you think the game is gonna go,

693
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: and you have certainly put a game plan together versus

694
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: what you think they may do. But as always, how

695
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: they see us might be different. Coach, thanks so much

696
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: for the time, Best of luck on Sunday against the Bills,

697

723
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: is I imagine there's a long snapper for turnity there

724
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: only thirty two of you, Like is there where there

725
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: is there you? Like a long snapper group text for like, dude, Like,

726
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: are people fired up for you? In the in the

727
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: long snapper community. There were definitely a few text messages

728
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: from from from some fellow snappers, um, but it's mostly

729
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: just you know, congrats on the field and stuff like

730
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: that when they heard about it. But I got a

731
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: few text from about four or five guys. You're like

732
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: a poster child for them now. They're like, look, we

733
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: can do this. We want to be Charlie. You some

734
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: of inspired. And Charlie always was fascinated with the kickers

735
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: and the long snappers because I always felt you guys

736
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: have like dual lives, taking place on the course of

737
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: the season, Like when guys are outside, you may go

738
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: inside and work on your golf game. Look at the

739
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: stock market and always found two Nathan that the best

740
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: guys you want to stock advice whe either long snapper

741
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: or the punter or the kicker. Does that still whole

742
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: truth in this very day, I would say yes in

743
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,280
Speaker 1: some ways. In some other ways no. I mean sometimes

744
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: we're going inside and we're actually you know, working on football. Um,

745
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: but there's a lot of times we're going in there

746
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: and I may I may check the stock ticker every

747
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 1: once in a while. So like if Hard Knox had

748
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: to do it over again, should they have had you

749
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 1: in there instead of Carl Nassim for the financial advice?

750
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: I definitely think so. Yeah. I mean Carl's Carl's advice

751
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: was sound, but I think I had a few more

752
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 1: things in that You had some more recent substances. Yea

753
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: more steak less sizzle. I like that. I like that.

754
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: So when you go through and kind of just to

755
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: give people an idea, you know, obviously I've seen you

756
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: sit on the medicine ball, you feed the machine simulating

757
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 1: the long snap, but doing it how many times a week?

758
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 1: Do you think you practice this? How many snaps are

759
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: you getting in? People don't understand this. You can get

760
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: the laces exactly where you want them in the rotation,

761
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 1: which to me is unbelievable. How do you master that?

762
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: How many reps do you like to get? Um? I

763
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: would say to give week. I mean, I'm I'm usually

764
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: snapping like like three days a week. It's not as

765
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: much as you'd think. In the season, UM, believe it

766
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: or not, you get tired, You get like tired shoulders

767
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: and elbows and whatnots. It can be. It can wear

768
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,240
Speaker 1: your joints a little bit better or not. Sound doesn't

769
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: sound like it would, but it does. Um. Most of

770
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 1: my snaps come in the off season is where I

771
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: really kind of build that up, and in training camp,

772
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: training camp by snap a ton. Uh. Once we get

773
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: into the season, we start to kind of dial it

774
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: back a little bit and kind of, you know, make

775
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: sure you're maintained it through the season. And also, you know,

776
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 1: I'm only snapping when they're kicking, so you don't want

777
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:31,879
Speaker 1: to wear their legs out too much too. So it's

778
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: when did you realize that you possessed the skills? Because

779
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 1: I've always marvel with you guys, and this regard I've

780
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: seen guys. You college scholarships because it's a skill set

781
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: is necessary and obviously come alone, Jeffy standpoint. You could

782
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: do his ten and fifteen twenty years if you keep

783
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: yourself in the right shape. Music to his ears right. No. Um.

784
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,720
Speaker 1: So it was my freshman year of college. I snap

785
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: in high school. UM. I walked on the UCF as

786
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: a tight end and um our snapper randomly quit my

787
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: first my true freshman year, UM quit the team, and

788
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: so we had kind of an open tryout and I

789
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: went out for it and and ended up getting the job,

790
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: and they put me on scholarship, and it was, you know,

791
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: a great thing at the time. But I remember the

792
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: same conversation I had with the head coach about putting

793
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: me on scholarship. He said, you're not going to tied

794
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: in meetings anymore. And looked at him, like, what do

795
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: you mean. That's that's what Like I can play tight

796
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,919
Speaker 1: in and snap and he's like, no, You're just gonna snap.

797
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,399
Speaker 1: Was okay, whatever gets on the field, you know, And

798
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: like I said, it was happened at a scholarship, So

799
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: it worked out. Do you remember the name of the

800
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 1: long snapper who left. Have you ever sent him a

801
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: thank you card saying but I should? Yeah, I should,

802
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: absolutely if I really thought about it, I could probably

803
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: think about it, but find it out. Yeah. So, I mean,

804
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: I'm curious and I hate to put you on the

805
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: spot in case cold Cole failed us. But did you

806
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: hear from Cole the Great Coal? What a human? Yeah?

807
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: And in typical coal fashion, Uh, he sent me a text.

808
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: I sent him a text back and that was it.

809
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: But he gave you the one of the of the

810
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,280
Speaker 1: well wishes. What's still waiting on that response. It happens

811
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: with him. He pops up. He likes to pop up

861
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: guys are excited to see the Shawan back out there. Well,

862
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: it's one of those things where you've been anticipating when

863
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: you have premier quarterback play, you know that's gonna help

864
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: your cause. And with that in mind, you're anticipating expected

865
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: him to go out there and first be rusty because

866
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: again you've been away from the game for a couple

867
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: of years now. And when he actually gets on the

870
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 1: should be a really rockets atmosphere in environment Sunday. So

871
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: that's gonna be putting its own right. But here's the

872
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 1: challenge you have that care and right there and Deshaun,

873
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 1: but also in front of you right now, you know

874
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: that you have two football games that you have to win.

875
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 1: You have to win, yeah, So you can't get caught

876
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: up in the idea. Yes, the fan fare of him

877
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 1: being back, and you do see that, and you're excited

878
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: about that, but you have to focus on today and

879
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,879
Speaker 1: right now, because if you don't win Sunday, pretty much

880
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 1: your playoff hopes are gone. You're right about that brown

881
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: sitting at three and six taking on a six and

882
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: three Buffalo Bills team that's lost two games by three

883
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: points in the last two weeks, and a team that

884
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: a lot of people think are the Super Bowl favorites.

885
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: In fact, you look at their losses all through the season.

886
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: One nineteen to the Dolphins, seen the Jets thirty three

887
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 1: to thirty and overtime last week to the Minnesota Vikings.

888
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 1: So a tough one there. One quick note from around

889
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: the league. The Eagles have added defensive tackling Dominican Sue

890
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,359
Speaker 1: one day after adding Linval Joseph and I just want

891
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: to say, but why haven't the brown signed these guys.

892
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: These guys are veterans who waited all season to pick

893
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: an opportunity to chase a Super Bowl ring. It's not

894
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: about any It's about them going after a ring, and

895
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 1: the Eagles are in a good position to do that,

896
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 1: and unfortunately for the Browns, they currently are not. When

897

00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: but whose stock is up headed into this game with

920
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 1: the Bills. Well, I got a couple of guys. I'll

921
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 1: nominate Nathan first. I'm gonna go Domond People's Jones. He's

922
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 1: making plays right out the gate, started game, big play,

923
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,399
Speaker 1: huge degree, double move, bam. And then this is might

924
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: surprise you for the reason I'm gonna tell you, Kate,

925
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: you Ork knowled is he making field goals and extra points.

926
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: My man went down the field and made a tackle

927
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: on the kickoff. Now that's some dangerous proposition, but I

928
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: give him props for doing it. I will give k

929
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: New York props to do that. I would like him

930
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: to take a tackling class because that form looked a

931
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 1: little dangerous. His head was awful low, and I was

932
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 1: concerned that he was gonna get up from that tackle.

933
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:54,760
Speaker 1: But yes, he was in there mixing enough. That always

934
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 1: gets the guys fired up. And then it's for Donovan

935
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: People's Jones. You know, led the team five catches for

936
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: nine yards. He's got thirty five receptions already on the season.

937
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 1: That's a new career high for him, five and sixteen yards.

938
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: Second on the team. He's had fifty yards in five straight,

939
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:11,959
Speaker 1: seventy yards in four straight and five of the last six.

940
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: Only Justin Jefferson has more sixty yard or more a

941
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 1: seventy yard games over the last six than Donovan People's jones.

942
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: All right, step up, everybody, well that but more in

943
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 1: particular because of who you're playing. You have to get

944
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 1: there with the fore man pressure against Buffalo. You cannot

945
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: do what you did last week. It cannot be a

946
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 1: situation where single blocking is getting the job done against

947
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: our front. You can't have that happen because if it

948
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 1: does happen, we will get torched. We have absolutely got

949
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 1: to get pressure, try to stop Josh Allen and the

950
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 1: cozy confines of Ford Field. The game now, indoors in

951
