Still got to lock in on what 191 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 6: the important task is is to get the wan. But 192 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 6: that's dope, it really cool. Say it's a blessing for 193 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 6: I think that could. 194 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: How much do you take away from round one with 195 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: these guys just knowing the chess match that you know, 196 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: like the second time you face the team this. 197 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, you gotta watch that film heavily. Then that's what 198 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 4: they're going to be watching all week preparing for the 199 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 4: things that we did, and how do we go about 200 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 4: keeping our identity the same and maybe changing a few 201 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 4: things up, maybe keeping a few things time. 202 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: How much do you think the Bills win in week 203 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: five maybe help places a little by what the identity 204 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: of this team is. 205 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, we've been working on that identity since day one, 206 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 4: OTAs and it just continues the build so on. Part 207 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 4: of the guys that have really stayed the course and 208 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 4: continue to believe in the basics, the fundamentals doing what 209 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 4: we do well. And I think we've just continued to 210 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 4: grow as a defense that we're still at this point 211 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 4: late in the year a few wins under our belt, 212 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 4: but at the same time hungrier than ever. You look 213 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 4: across his locker room, it's almost like a sense that 214 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 4: we have so much left in the tank, We have 215 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 4: so much more to give. We can play such better defense. 216 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 4: So we're just striving to go out there and do that, 217 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 4: which challenges to James Cooking in the run rushing attack. Yeah, 218 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 4: James cook puts eleven people at attack. He can bounce 219 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 4: its sideline, the sideline, the inside run could end up 220 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 4: on the outside of the numbers, an outside run can 221 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 4: cut back to the opposite side corner. He puts eleven 222 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 4: at the point of attack, and he's really a great 223 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 4: football player for them. How much more would I mean 224 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 4: to clinch the division at home? Yeah, We're going to 225 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 4: take one game at a time, and that's what it means. 226 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 4: It would mean. It's a great deal for this organization, 227 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 4: I know for us as players, But we're just going 228 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 4: to continue to keep putting the right stuff forward In 229 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 4: terms of difficulty in preparing for certain quarterbacks, where does 230 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 4: Josh Allen rink on that way? Yeah? Is that MVP 231 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 4: for a reason. He could do it all. He can 232 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 4: extend plays the arm talent to get the ball anywhere 233 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 4: over the field. He challenges your ability to plaster people, 234 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 4: light and downs. He could be a primary runner on 235 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 4: quarterback designed run, so he could really do it all.
