1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,040 Speaker 1: You were around the Bills long enough to get a 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: feel for a team that's ready to play a big game. 3 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 1: Because you played in several big games with them. You 4 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,959 Speaker 1: feel like this team is ready for this cut caliber 5 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: of a game, a big game early in the season. 6 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,480 Speaker 1: Do they have that big game mentality yet or is 7 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:17,320 Speaker 1: that still evolving. 8 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:19,639 Speaker 2: I think that's the best part about games like this. 9 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 3: All these games prepare you down the stretch come January. 10 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 3: So just to feel that adrenaline, a little bit of 11 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 3: nervous you know, nervousness about you, the little gut feeling 12 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 3: to you pre game, all those little rituals kind of 13 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 3: the fans, the crowd, that's what makes it special, that's 14 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 3: what makes it cool. 15 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:38,879 Speaker 2: But all that stuff helps us. 16 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 3: And so you know, doing those couple Kansas City games 17 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 3: for the last couple of years, I think that's also 18 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 3: prepared us. 19 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 2: This is another one. 20 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 3: This is another great game, great matchup. Come playoff time, 21 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 3: we're gonna need these games just for experience. So I 22 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 3: think our guys are ready, they're excited about it. We've 23 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 3: had a good week of practice so far. Like I said, 24 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 3: that's the challenge of let's see what we can do 25 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,279 Speaker 3: in a good, a good matchup, but it's a very 26 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 3: good team. 27 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 4: Brandon obviously a big game Sunday, not surprising to you, 28 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 4: but bounces back from a difficult week the week before. 29 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, not surprising at all. 30 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 3: He's a pro, He's been a he's one of the 31 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 3: ben been one of the best kickers in this league 32 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 3: for a long time. Uh, And so I knew he'd 33 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 3: get right back to what he does. He had a 34 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 3: great week of practice last week, and so he's uh. 35 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 3: And then it went out on the field. He did 36 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 3: exactly what he does every day. So there's not shocking 37 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 3: he he controls it completely with great kicks. And then 38 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 3: also something that probably does gets overlooked probably are those 39 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 3: touchbacks he hit. You know, it was just something we 40 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 3: we potentially would have hung some kicks up and covered 41 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 3: some kicks. But when you have that dynamic returner back 42 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 3: there deep not all kickers can can guarantee touchbacks like 43 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 3: he can do. Uh. And so be able to take 44 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 3: that take that game completely out of it is is 45 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 3: a big thing for a coach to say, Okay, you 46 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 3: take that portion of the game out of it. As 47 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 3: well as making all those kicks he did, and he 48 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 3: did it he's a great player, so not surprised at. 49 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 5: All on that point lining up for the fifty six 50 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 5: yard Those of us who've been to Wembley a lot 51 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 5: there were maybe a little bit nervous about that on 52 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 5: what's normally a football field soccer field, so the decision 53 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 5: to go for the long kick first and foremost ball. 54 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 5: So you're quite excited to be back on a more 55 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 5: familiar surface this week. 56 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think you know, we tried you know, 57 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 3: the grass all week. We had a good feeling of 58 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,679 Speaker 3: what kind of turf, you know, we were gonna deal 59 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 3: with there. Coming here as much as often as we do, 60 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 3: I feel like we were a good understanding of what 61 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 3: cleats we were gonna wear that game. But just trusting 62 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 3: you know, his leg strength, his ability kick to make 63 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 3: those long kicks. Our confidence never wavered and we were 64 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 3: sending him out there. You know, we talked about it 65 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 3: on third down of sending him out there, so it 66 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 3: wasn't a last second decision. There was no gray area 67 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 3: with it. It's send him out there, do what he 68 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 3: does best. That's why we got a kicker like that 69 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 3: in the program. That was one of the reasons why 70 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 3: we you know, we felt like we upgraded the offseason. 71 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 3: We got a guy that can make that kick when 72 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 3: we needed those three points. 73 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 6: It's looking like Jamal Agnew is getting close to returning. 74 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 6: Is the plan to have been returning straight away and 75 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 6: just returning kick some punts straight away? And how much 76 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 6: of a difference will he make in that department. 77 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 3: If he's active, he is definitely returning. I will not 78 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 3: hold him off of that. The guys last week did 79 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 3: a really good job. They filled in perfectly, did exactly 80 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 3: what we wanted him to, gave the ball back to 81 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 3: the offense, got some yards. 82 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 2: Great. 83 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 3: But Jamal Agnew special player. If he is active, he 84 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 3: will be back deep. We'll see how he looks, you know. 85 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 3: Today's another day to kind of see what he can 86 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 3: run around and do. As the week goes on, we 87 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 3: have a better idea what it looks like. But yes, 88 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 3: he will be back deep. I'm hoping he is back. 89 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 3: He is very, very good and he's a big part 90 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 3: of our return game of really flipping the field for 91 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 3: our return game. 92 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 7: To piggyback on that point, how hard is it to 93 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 7: do what Christian had to come in and do. Obviously, 94 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 7: Jamal's usually there he's inactive right before the game. I mean, 95 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 7: you guys probably knew a little earlier. But then Parker 96 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 7: goes down the first one. I mean, practicing it and 97 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 7: then doing it in a game when you haven't done 98 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 7: it in a bit. How difficult is that? 99 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 3: I mean, I think normally as a coach, you get 100 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 3: your third return or you're pretty nervous. 101 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 2: Uh. Not the case with me. Christian Kirk is a pro. 102 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 3: He's caught punts for a long time in this league, 103 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 3: very consistent, catches the ball super clean. You trust him, 104 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 3: you want the ball in his hands. 105 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 2: Uh. 106 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 3: So it was it was not a concern for me. 107 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 3: It was just more the operation aspect of Now that's 108 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 3: the guy who plays as much offense as he does. 109 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 3: Now he's got a return punts for that's the biggest uh, 110 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 3: I guess concern with it. But as far as him 111 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 3: ability wise, not a concern at all. He's a pro. 112 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 3: He's done it for a ton of you know, a 113 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 3: ton of years, and he's done at a high level. 114 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 2: You know. 115 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 3: It's just it's just fortunate we have agnue that we 116 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 3: don't necessarily need him. Most teams, he would be the 117 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 3: pump return. I'm sure not to get way too much. 118 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 4: But does krishnev full go when he's back there orre 119 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 4: you just telling him to catch the ball and be 120 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 4: safe because I know he's not your main guy. 121 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 3: I mean he's a he's a ballplayer, so I think 122 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 3: he's gonna want to return, you know, as much as 123 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 3: we want to protect him, probably protect him from himself. 124 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 3: He's a ballplayer that want that wants to help the team. 125 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 2: And if he there's. 126 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 3: Yards to be had, if they have a good space, 127 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 3: he's going to try to score. Yes, yeah, no, he's 128 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 3: not gonna fair catch every time he's going to return. 129 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 7: That's what we do, that's what he does. Rindon mentioned 130 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 7: on Sunday to us the operation. You know, Snaphold obviously kick. 131 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 7: I'm from the outside looking in, it looks like Snaphold's 132 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 7: kick anywhere in football. But what are the nuances of 133 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 7: that operation when you do have a new guy who's 134 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 7: been somewhere else for a long time, and and does 135 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 7: that take some time and live action to kind of 136 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 7: get under. I mean the obvious is the mechanics of it. 137 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 7: You know, what is the trigger? Is it off your hand? 138 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 7: Is that the face mask? 139 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 3: Is that the the you know, the the hand coming 140 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 3: off the ground. There's different triggers that they use, so 141 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 3: it's all timing. You know, what are they going off? 142 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 3: They changed the cadence all the time. Uh, you know, 143 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 3: obviously to to to to get the field goal block 144 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 3: team off you know, off a little bit. 145 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,799 Speaker 2: But it's all the timing aspect. 146 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 3: Where is the ball caught, where the laces because the 147 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 3: reality is if those lasers are off this much, those 148 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 3: kickers know that and see that and feel that. 149 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 2: So it's real precise. 150 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 3: It's it's down to you know, a quarter inch makes 151 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 3: the difference in the kicking game. 152 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 4: Uh. 153 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 2: And so that is a big deal. 154 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 3: So the more reps they can get, the more consistent 155 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 3: they can get, the operation gets cleaner, the better the 156 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 3: ultimate result of him making kicks, you know. And and 157 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 3: and that's part of the process we've been working through. Obviously, 158 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 3: you know, Logan was out for a couple of days 159 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 3: in training camp, Ross missed a ton of time, so 160 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 3: we were kind of making up for some of that time. 161 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 3: But they've really just picked it up where they left 162 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 3: off and really just I think they're starting to get 163 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 3: in their own the last couple of weeks of practice, 164 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 3: we've had some great sessions and this week is no different. 165 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 3: We've had some great sessions, so I'm expecting good results 166 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 3: come Sunday. You know, whatever you typically see in practice, 167 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 3: I think that's typically what you see in a game. 168 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 3: And that's kind of why I've come to realize. And 169 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 3: when you're consistent like they have been the last few weeks, 170 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 3: we're getting in the right stride. I think we're getting 171 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 3: the right in the right mode. 172 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: That is. 173 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 2: Thank you guys.
