00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: We see these one Bills Live, presented by Come Light

2
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: of Health. All right, here we are on a Wednesday,

00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 1: back on the practice field. The players go. They're back

4
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: at it as we speak about fifty yards from where

5
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: we sit here on the set of one Bills Live

6
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: at one Bills Drive in Orchard Park. Chris Brown, Steve

7
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: tasking with you as always and ready to roll into

8
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: Week two. Bills will be the last game of Week two,

9
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: as we know, on Monday night in Buffalo's home opener,

10
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: where we are expecting an electric atmosphere. Thirty games between

11
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: the last game the Bills played in the next one. Yeah,

12
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: they played the first one in week one and the

13
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: last one in a week two. So the second the

14
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: last one, there's a oh, that's right, the staggered Monday

15
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: night dank gun it gotcha. Yes, we've tied off at

16
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: seven twenty. The next one's at eight fifteen. Staggered start

17
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: at um whatever reason. Whatever, it's fine. I don't it's fine.

18
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 1: It's fine, so I'm okay with it. Whatever. The Bills

19
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: do have some news regarding their roster. Bill's practice updates

20
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: are presented by lee com Lake Erie College of Osteopathic medicine,

21
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: and there was a transaction in the morning in which

22
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: Prince Amelie, the defensive tackle who was with the club

23
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: as an undrafted rookie free agent through the course of

24
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: the spring, the summer and then did not make the

25
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: final fifty three man roster or the practice squad. He

26
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: was added to the practice squad this morning, and to

27
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,559
Speaker 1: make room for him, the team released practice squad ride

28
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: receiver Tenor Gentry. And at that moment, the wheels started

29
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: turning in my head. Knowing that Ed Oliver came out

30
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: of the Week one game with an ankle injury, you

31
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: wonder if Prince Emili's added to the practice squad. They

32
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: already have two guys on the practice squad whore defensive tackles.

33
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: Could that mean a call up could be happening at

34
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: the end of the week. And then we find out

35
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: from head coach Sean McDermott, whose comments you'll hear in

36
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: full in about twenty eight minutes or so, when we

37
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: bring you his press conference that he had just before

38
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: practice started. He explains that not only will add Oliver

39
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: not practice today coming off the ankle injury in week one,

40
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: but Tim Settle is not practicing today either, So two

41
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: of Buffalo's top four defensive tackles not part of the

42
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 1: practice equation right now. Coach McDermott said, they will take

43
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: it day today and we'll have to see where they

44
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: are at the end of the week. The benefit here

45
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: is Ed Oliver gets almost ten twelve days to get

46
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 1: that ankle right before he has to try to play again,

47
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: So we'll see where he is in four or five

48
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: days and whether or not he has an opportunity to play.

49
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: We don't know the nature of Tim Settle's injury. We

50
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: know he was dealing with a hamstring problem through the

51
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: course of training camp in the preseason. Whether it is

52
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: that injury again, we do not know. We'll have firm

53
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: answers on that when the injury report is released later

54
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: this afternoon, so we'll keep our ear to the ground

55
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: on that. But neither of those two guys practicing. And

56
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: I would say, Steve, if you asked me, who would

57
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: be the first call up from the practice squad of

58
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: the defensive tackle position would probably be Brandon Bryant oversee

59
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: j Brewer. Brandon byas played in regular season games for

60
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: this team over the past couple of seasons. I thought

61
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: he had a magnificent preseason. I thought he was making

62
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: a hard charge for a roster spot on what is

63
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: a very deep ross. You're at that position that made

64
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: a lot of investments in free agency. So Brandon Bryant

65
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: isn't a bad guy to turn to. But there is

66
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: the concern. If there was ever a week where you

67
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: wanted to be fully healthy at the defensive tackle position,

68
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: this might be it. Yeah, absolutely absolutely. You can't think

69
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: you're going to go in with a crippled defensive tackle

70
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: position and beat the running game of the Tennessee Titans.

71
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry ran the ball twenty times last week. I

72
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: think that was a little bit anemic for what they

73
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: would They want him twenty five times a game. There's

74
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: no question about it, right, I mean, so I would

75
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: say that there's no question you need to be healthy upfront,

76
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: and I think as much as anything that makes you

77
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: take a deep breath and go, okay, here we go,

78
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: because it's going to be a long game in that regard,

79
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 1: those guys have got to hold up down inside, right,

80
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: and so right now on the practice field, you do

81
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: not have two of your top four defensive tackles. One

82
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: of the biggest reasons Tim Settle is here is because

83
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: of his run stuffing ability. I still think at Oliver

84
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: is a little underrated as a run defender because most

85
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: people see him as a penetrator, get to the pastor

86
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: kind of interior presence. He's pretty good against the run

87
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: as well. Um, it'd be nice to have at least

88
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: one of those guys back in the fold. If you're

89
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: missing both of them, you get thin in a hurry. Yeah,

90
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: and then you might have to make you might have

91
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: to call up two dts, right, I mean on Monday night. Well, yeah,

92
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 1: you can play you know, so many at a time. Um,

93
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: you could see it from I could see a scenario

94
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: where if they were healthy, at Oliver's healthy, Um Settles

95
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: healthy to Quan Jones Um and the rest Jordan Phillips,

96
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: having like four of those guys up there at a time,

97
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: two of them playing defensive end. Phillips lined up with

98
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: the defensive end against the Rams a couple of snaps

99
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: just to go big, you know, in a in a

100
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: real rundown situation, but you're just bounced that if you're

101
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,559
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry though, knowing you're probably quicker to the corner

102
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: than a defensive tackle lining up an end. Well, you

103
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: got a plan for that, you know, I mean you

104
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: got yeah. So it depends on what his chart, what

105
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: the guy's charge is about it. You know, what his

106
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: angle is, where he's coming out, what his gap is.

107
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, but just to bear up against it. But

108
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: now you can bet they're gonna yeah, they're gonna change

109
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: up their rotation, no question about it. Well, I think

110
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: you're right though, Brandon Bryant's the guy I would think. Yeah,

111
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: we'll have to see how the practice week plays out.

112
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: Hopefully one of those two guys, if not both, get

113
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: back on the practice field by the time we get

114
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: to the end of the week, and maybe the extra

115
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: day on the back end playing Monday night helps to

116
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: make a difference. They had three extra days on the

117
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: front end after playing Thursday, and they're still not on

118
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: the practice field. So it's just hopefully you can get

119
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: them back. Also, it's been a little bit vague about

120
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: what his injury is. Did he roll his ankle? Did

121
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: he you know, is it a foot? You know it's

122
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: an ankle, they said, so, okay, as a high chose sprains,

123
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: just you roll it? Did he twist it? Did he

124
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: sprain it? What I mean, what we're looking at here,

125
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: And if it gets to the Monday and he's pretty close,

126
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: you know, they'll just get some treatment, you know, give

127
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: it a needle, and so it's a little bit more

128
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: comfortable and you know it's nothing to be afraid of,

129
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: but you know you can get him ready to play. Yeah,

130
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: so we'll see. So Titans at Bills Bill is currently

131
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: a ten point favorite for the Monday night game. Is

132
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: that crazy to you? It's a little little fat. I

133
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: think that is that an overreaction Monday line. It might

134
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: be still here on Monday. I do think the Titans

135
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: are not the same team they've been the last few years.

136
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: But I don't know if they've fallen off that precipitously

137
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: does Does Settle and Oliver move the line? They could?

138
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: It would? I kind of would for it. Could. It

139
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: kind of would for me in light of what we

140
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: think the Bills have to do to stop the Titans.

141
00:07:54,800 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: For sure, if it gives Tennessee two more third down

142
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: conversions on shore, you know what I mean, if they

143
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: you know, they go lighter up there or they're just

144
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: not as good up there, and that gives Tennessee two

145
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: more third down conversions for the game. You know, Yeah,

146
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: that that translates somewhere along the line, you know, And

147
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: that's a big number right by the way. This week's

148
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: game sponsor is high Mark Blue Cross, Blue Shield of

149
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: Western New York, the official health plan of the Buffalo Bills.

150
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: We mentioned yesterday that the Titans plays defensive end to

151
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: Shawn Hand on injured reserve. They also added defensive back

152
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: aj Moore. So already the Titans without Harold Landry their

153
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: top pass rusher, but to Shawn Hand aj Moore also

154
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: going I I R early this week, so they're filling

155
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 1: in holes on their side of the ledger as well.

156
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 1: We're gonna be talking to former a Titan safety Blaine Bishop,

157
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: who now does a radio show down there in Nashville

158
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: and covers the Titans. We'll get the info from him

159
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 1: what the vibe is like after they were upset by

160
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: the New York Giants in their home opener last week.

161
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: You have to believe that the Bills are going to

162
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: be squaring up against a pretty ornerary Titans team that

163
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: does not want to start the season. Oh and two, yeah,

164
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna get the best shot. They're gonna come in

165
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: there you know, a little bit desperate, no question about it.

166
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: We'll just see. Tannehill is still there, Derek Henry is

167
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: still there, and they've still got a pretty salty defense

168
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: in that head coach that you know, you and I

169
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: both have a lot of respect for. So we'll see.

170
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: But I think it's a real I think it's I

171
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: think that you're gonna get their best swing and they're

172
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit desperate, and I think it

173
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: affects your play calling when you're a desperate coaching staff.

174
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: It could, it could, It certainly could. I would say

175
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: the weapons aren't as dangerous as they have been in

176
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: years past. No more Julio Jones, no more a J. Brown,

177
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: I mean John and Smith's been gone for a couple

178
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: of years. They did pick up Austin Hooper the tight

179
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: end in free agency kind of helped them with the

180
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: short to intermediate passing game. Robert Woods is still a good,

181
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: you know, possession type receiver, and Treylon Burkes is learning

182
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: on the fly as his fifth round pick Kyle Phillips.

183
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: So there are they're trying to blend it together. But

184
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 1: it's early in the season and it's not going to

185
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 1: be air tight. As they don't have the same kind

186
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: of continuity, particularly at the skilled positions that the Bills have.

187
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: So we'll see if that plays a factor as well.

188
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: Time to go around the NFL, though, which is presented

189
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 1: by collid to Health, the official healthcare system of the

190
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, and Bronco's head coach Nathaniel Hackett. Steve admitted quote,

191
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: we definitely should have gone for it on their critical

192
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: fourth down Monday night against the Seahawks. Well, I'm glad

193
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: he came around to it twenty four hours later after

194
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 1: watching the film. Yeah. And I you wonder what kind

195
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: of a fact the backlash after the game had on him,

196
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 1: would he? I mean, because obviously when with the one

197
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: thing doesn't work, he would have should have done the other. Okay, fine,

198
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: you know it's easy enough to say it. Did he

199
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: address it because of the backlash night and certainly he

200
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: was questioned about it, so he had to answer. And

201
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: if you answer no, I would have done the same

202
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: thing again, Well you're a goober because you're not gonna

203
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: do the same thing again knowing he failed also too,

204
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: this just didn't somebody, and I've said this a ton.

205
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: I want to talk to Matt Matt Smiley about this

206
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: builds defensive I mean special teams coordinator. You get into

207
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: that fourth down, you got a guy lining up for

208
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: a sixty four yard or and you're gonna ice the kicker.

209
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: You need to tell your defensive rush team, the Seahawks

210
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: in this case, he say, listen, we're gonna ice him.

211
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: When they blow the whistle, you come off the ball

212
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: and don't let that guy have a practice swim at this.

213
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: To me, it's inexcusable. That guy missed two of those

214
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: kicks in a row. He missed that thing and it

215
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: hooked right to left outside. You gotta tell you listen,

216
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: hit it at the right, upright and it'll hook in.

217
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: He hits it down the middle again, it hooks out again.

218
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: That to me is inexcusable. The guy had the leg

219
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: for that. The guy had the leg for that. And

220
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: if I'm and that's what you see it all the

221
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: time now, teams are icing the kicker. If I'm gonna

222
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: ice the kicker, never ever ever let that guy have

223
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: a practice kick. These guys are NFL kickers. Yeah, call

224
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: the time out before he kicks it, before they line up. Yes,

225
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: do not let that guy snap the ball and do

226
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: not let him kick the ball. In fact, get an edge,

227
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: because if we're gonna ice him and they blow the

228
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: whistle short, you come off the ball, go through there,

229
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: and you rough that guy up ahead a hair. You

230
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: don't knock him over any that's the but you got

231
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: to get into his face and talk some smack. You

232
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: intimidate that guy right that you can't let him have

233
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: a free kick like that. That. I can't believe the

234
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: Denver kicker missed two in a row like that. I

235
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: know it's sixty four yards. He's got the leg. It's

236
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: not like he has to kick it further. Just at

237
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: the aim, at the right upright. It's gonna hook. You're

238
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: a right footed kicker. The thing's gonna hook well. And

239
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: if it doesn't hook that you're just inside the right

240
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: up right. It's good. If it hooks, you're still good.

241
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: That's why they're two or forty two from sixty four plus.

242
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: In the history of the NFL. You never let that

243
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: guy have a practice kick forever. That's I can't believe

244
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: Seattle won that game despite the the misque from Nate

245
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: Hackett for not going for it on fourth and five.

246
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 1: You gave him credit for saying, uh, yeah, should have

247
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: done I should have done the other thing. So the

248
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: numbers said he should did not. So it's put your

249
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: quarter of a billion dollars quarterback on the bench and

250
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: fourth and five. Here's why, say, for instance, it's forty

251
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: five percent, which is about what it was, maybe a

252
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: little more forty five percent fourth and five getting it. Well,

253
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: you think, okay, well that's how you why you should

254
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: have done well that No, it's forty five percent of

255
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: getting it. Then you have the percentage of the field

256
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: goal to follow that's mixed in there, so it's forty

257
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: five percent followed by fifty percent. Well, it's still got

258
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: to be better than two for forty two. That's exactly right.

259
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: So even so, that's why I come down on that

260
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: side of the ledger with that. But that's already in

261
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: the rear view mirror. But you're right. I mean, if

262
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: you as a head coach, you gain a little bit

263
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: of respect back for saying you know it. You're right.

264
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: It's my first game and I was not prepared for

265
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: that moment, or I blew that moment. We should have

266
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: done something different, and we're gonna work on it because

267
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: it comes out, you know what I mean, just own

268
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: it because he ain't getting away with it. Yeah, don't

269
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: pretend you know all the answers, especially as a first

270
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: year head coach, because there are going to be situations

271
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: to come up that you just don't get right. Nobody's perfect,

272
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: and that was an instance there in his very first game.

273
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: Hot rod Rodrigo blanket Ship no longer a member of

274
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts. I did a little digging on Rodrigo

275
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: blanket Ship. Steve, who has been with the Colts since

276
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: he signed as an undrafted rookie free agent in twenty

277
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: twenty out of Georgia, pretty accomplished college kicker, and since

278
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: his rookie year his field goal percentage has gone down precipitously.

279
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: He was eighty six and a half percent field goal

280
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: kicker as a rookie, then dropped down to seventy eight

281
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: point six percent last year. This year granted just one game,

282
00:15:55,800 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: two of three for sixty six percent success. Right. I

283
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: don't know if he's got if he got the yips,

284
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: or what happened, but that is a pretty precipitous drop

285
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: from year one to year two, eighty six and a

286
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: half to seventy eight point six. Yeah, he did only

287
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: play in five games last year because he was injured,

288
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: so maybe you know, not kicking every day contributes to

289
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: the drop off there. But the Colts have a couple

290
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: of players in to replace him as the kicker. They're

291
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: both on the practice squad right now. They'll work all

292
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: week and then they'll elevate one to be their kicker

293
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: on Sunday against Jacksonville. One of them is Chase McLaughlin,

294
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: who spent some time with them either last season under

295
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: the season before, and spend time here as a kicking

296
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: option back when Stephen Hausko is here. So Chase McLaughlin

297
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: still bouncing around. I liked him as a kicker, So

298
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: I'm kind of rooting for Chase a little bit. I

299
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: hope he gets the job there. Yeah, I'm neither here

300
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: nor there. I'm you know, it takes a long time

301
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: to earn some respect as a kicker. I think Tyler

302
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: bass Is even is still striving for that around the

303
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: League's still a young kickers in a stado. He has

304
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: been very good. But you know what, he wouldn't be

305
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: mentioned in a lot of people's third year Actually, that's right.

306
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 1: It wouldn't even be on most people's radar as a

307
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 1: really good kicker, it takes a long time to get

308
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: entraced and like a lot of team, like a team itself,

309
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: it takes time for people around the league to see

310
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: you playing and get like the Thanksgiving games and Monday

311
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: Night or Thursday Night last week, Monday Night this week,

312
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: and the primetime games. A kicker is one of the

313
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: guy It takes a long time to get recognized by

314
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: anybody other than your own fan base. You know what

315
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: I mean? Uh? Bass eighty two point four percent kicker

316
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 1: is a rookie year eighty seven and a half last year.

317
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: So he went up from year one to year two

318
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: and perfect this year on his loan field goal opportunity

319
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: from forty one yards in Week one, so certainly hope

320
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: that continues for him. But it doesn't take long. You

321
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: get you get hooked out of there and all of

322
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: a sudden, you don't have a job and you're bouncing

323
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: around pretty crazy. Did you see this? Andy Reid talking

324
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: about the turf in Arizona contributing to two injuries that

325
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: his players suffered in the Week one game against the

326
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: Cardinals down in Glendale. It is a grass field that

327
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: is comes in on a conveyor belt for the games,

328
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: and then they roll it out under one of the

329
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 1: end zone sections of the stadium outside so it can

330
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: get sunlight because it's a dome stadium there in Arizona,

331
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: because of the heat. I've seen it. It's a giant

332
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: conveyor belt. It's like it's well, I don't know if

333
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 1: they wheel it out wheels or what. It's on big

334
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: trays and they fit together so they can actually take

335
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: it apart, put a fresh piece of grass into a

336
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,439
Speaker 1: spot and put it back together, or if they have

337
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: worn areas, but what it is, it's it's pretty cool.

338
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: They roll it out in one big piece and outside

339
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: the stadium there's a huge paddock sort of thing down

340
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: it's it's um a big pit that is big, flat,

341
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: has concrete sides and sloped and everything like a like

342
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: a kind of artificial lake with nothing in it. And

343
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: it rolls right out into that. And in fact, when

344
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 1: they roll the field in there, that's where they put

345
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 1: the production trucks for the game. They put them right

346
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: in that paddock where the field usually is, and then

347
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: those guys clear out they bring the field back out

348
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: let it get the sunlight. It's okay, Yeah, I get it,

349
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: but it's NASA level stuff. But it's gotta present some problems.

350
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: I wonder how well, yeah, the field holds up, because

351
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: obviously Andy Reid wasn't happy with it. Trent McDuffie, the

352
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: rookie corner, got put on IR. He's gonna miss at

353
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: least four games now now with a knee injury. And

354
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: they had a second player that suffered an injury whose

355
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: names escaping me right now. But two players injured in

356
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 1: their Week one game, and Andy Reid is blaming it

357
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: on the turf at State Farm Stadium in Arizona. So

358
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: we'll see if that gets examined any closer in terms of,

359
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: you know, what their field conditions are. You know, if

360
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: there are enough complaints that the league will be prompted

361
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: to look into it by the players Association, especially if

362
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: if they deem it to be a health and safety

363
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: issue and it you know, super Bowl is being played there,

364
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 1: so Bill want to get that thing exactly right. That's right,

365
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: the super Bowl is there. This is so that's it's

366
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: it's going to be ongoing. Um. They play the Chiefs

367
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: play the Ravens. Um. Yeah, that those guys are completely

368
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: off the you can't even you can't even find their

369
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: names on the on the They're done for the season,

370
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:05,479
Speaker 1: So there's that. I don't think anything's going to come

371
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: of it, not after one week, unless two other guys

372
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: go down this week or the next time they play

373
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 1: on that field. I can't see it happening, especially in

374
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: light of the fact that the Cardinals themselves haven't lost

375
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: anybody and they're playing on at every single home game,

376
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: So who knows what to expect there. With respect to

377
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: the Bills and the matchup this week, things change dramatically

378
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: for Buffalo's defensive line in terms of what they need

379
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: to stop. And as we said, we'll have coach mcdermot's

380
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 1: comments after our first break in the show about ten

381
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: twelve minutes from now, but a pass rush that exceeded

382
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: expectations last week against Matthew Stafford, that defensive front has

383
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: to prove they can stop the run now. And while

384
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: I will say this Steve, I think Greg Rousseau is

385
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: a good edge defender. Von Miller certainly is an underrated

386
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 1: edge defender because he's known for his pass rush exploits.

387
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 1: I was not concerned initially about the defensive tackle contingent.

388
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:13,239
Speaker 1: But with the possibility of Settle and Oliver, who are

389
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: dinged and not practicing today, not being part of the equation,

390
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: suddenly my concern level goes up a bit. Yeah. Absolutely,

391
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: you need big bodies down there. And certainly Jordan Phillips

392
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 1: is a dude. He's and he's highly motivated. And how

393
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: highly motivated you know? Is he gonna be motivated to

394
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 1: play more snaps than he did last week? Right? Um?

395
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: And some of them have. There's been some stuff going

396
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: on back and forth in social media already or the

397
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: wand and Jordan Phillips and Shack and those guys. So yeah,

398
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a save it for the game. Might

399
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: get a little chippy, right, which personally I don't like

400
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: to see that because that's how guys get hurt. Like

401
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: something happens after the play, it's not even during the play,

402
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: and some guy gets injured, or you know, there's some

403
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: illegal chop block they take the fifteen yard penalty, but

404
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: now you don't have a player for the rest of

405
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: the game. I don't need to see any of that stuff.

406
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: But I think we I think it's safe to say

407
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: we should anticipate a rock'em sock'em type game where it

408
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: looks like a rock fight out there, you know what

409
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 1: I mean, Like, yeah, it could, it could devolve into

410
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 1: that kind of a game. Maybe that's how Tennessee likes

411
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 1: to play. They like to muck it up. They do.

412
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 1: They're not a endplus, they're a team that is really

413
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: really akin and accustomed to playing in close games too,

414
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 1: because of the style of offense that they play. Even

415
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 1: you know, take last last week for an example. You

416
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: gotta feel like they in the first half, they got

417
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 1: to feel like they should have been up twenty four

418
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: to nothing, and it was it was only thirteen. It's

419
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: thirteen nothing. So because of that, you got to think, Okay,

420
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: they're okay with that. Well, six of their twelve victories

421
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: last year were by three or fewer points. They had

422
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: five wins by three points and another by two points.

423
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 1: Half of their wins came in field goal games that

424
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: they just feel comfortable there. Yeah, exactly. The ball bounce

425
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: is funny and you got to be ready for that,

426
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: and they're they're accustomed to it. Some teams are not.

427
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: Some teams are not good in close games. Yeah, they

428
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: grip a little. Yeah, Titans are not one of them,

429
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: because they're playing there every week. It seems they don't

430
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 1: have because of their style of offense, they don't have

431
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 1: the capability of pulling away from opponents unless their opponent

432
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: completely lays an egg or has five turnovers. You know,

433
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: they run the football and so stacking up points quickly

434
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: is something they just don't do. And so as a result,

435
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: even if their defense is playing well, they find themselves

436
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: in tight ball games. So, having been in those kinds

437
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,239
Speaker 1: of games for the better part of the last four

438
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 1: or five years, when the game is tight, they're cool

439
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: as a cucumber. I mean, they don't waiver at all.

440
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: They just keep on grinding and keep on playing. And

441
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 1: even though there is a ten point spread on this game,

442
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: you wonder like there is a possibility that it could

443
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 1: be a grinded out kind of game. Now, if the

444
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 1: Bills are on and their defense is keeping that run

445
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 1: game of Derrick Henry in check, well, yeah, then the

446
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: Bills could could approach that you know, ten point spread

447
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: number that Vegas has on him right now, right But

448
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: short of that, it could be a nip and tuck game,

449
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: at least for a while. It's gonna be. I just

450
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: don't usually let teams pull away from them. Yeah, I'm

451
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: I'm yes, that's exactly right. You usually don't get up

452
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 1: double digits on those guys. And and I'll say this,

453
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: they are like everybody is. I mean, I don't know

454
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: if the Bills are or not. I mean the Bills

455
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: have been there, ten points down early in the game.

456
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: The Bills are like, it will be, you know, we

457
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: just got to get a stop here, We'll be you

458
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,719
Speaker 1: know what, a kind of and the I don't think

459
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: feel like that. I think that's where they're like, listen,

460
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: we can't we gotta get a stop here. We can't

461
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: let them go up ten points. We cannot let them

462
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: get up ten points. If they get a field goal here,

463
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: we're done. You know. I gotta feel like they that's

464
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: where they're uncomfortable, like every team should be. Yeah, but

465
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 1: I just don't think they got the horses. They're not

466
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: to come from behind team if it's ten points or more.

467
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: They and it's hard to envision it happen, and for

468
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: obvious reasons, and they're they're built to make sure that

469
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen. But there they got their hands full

470
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: keeping the Bills off the scoreboard. I mean, I you

471
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: got to think they know this is gonna game that's

472
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: gonna get into the high twenties, maybe thirties, and they're

473
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: gonna have to hang in there with them. The Bills

474
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: did it. They did it to the Bills last year.

475
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: And you know, Josh slips on the quarterback sneak on

476
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: the conversion, the fourth down conversion. It's a close game,

477
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: but it's it was up there. I don't know that

478
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: this version of the Titan defense and this version of

479
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: the Buffalo offense isn't gonna be like thirty points way

480
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: earlier in the game. It's possible, It's certainly possible. We

481
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: have to take a break here when we return. Head

482
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: coach Sean McDermott addressed the media prior to practice today.

483
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: We will have those comments for you next here on

484
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, presented by Kellid to Health, It's Buffalo

485
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. All right, welcome back to One Bill's Live.

486
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: Chris Browns, Steve task me with you here on a Wednesday.

487
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: Time for us go to turn now to head coach

488
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, who addressed the media prior to practice today. No, yeah,

489
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: we'll just take a one day at a time. We'll

490
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 1: see where it goes here. All right, So if you

491
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 1: go may not, you have alliver. Obviously it's a big

492
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: walk trying to stop der Kennedy, who you have to

493
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 1: start with the last couple of years. What's happening happened

494
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: Sean that maybe he can prevent him from dominating the

495
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 1: way he has in the past. Yeah, Well, he's an

496
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: elite player. Um, he's hard to stop. And it hasn't

497
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 1: just been our defense, you know, they've I'll give them credit.

498
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 1: They have an elite player there and and they use

499
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: them well. And um, so we have to do a

500
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: better job of controlling the line of scrimmage and uh,

501
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: sometimes that takes eleven guys to do that. And in

502
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: this case with with uh with Henry, Um, he didn't

503
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: get as many touches as past week as he usually gets.

504
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: And so um, we'll see where that goes this week

505
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: with their plan. But he's an elite, elite player for

506
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:01,719
Speaker 1: a reason, and he's hard to stop. I'm sorry that injury.

507
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: Uh ankle, you were fun. There's a memory of what

508
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: how last season's game ads in the sea. You know,

509
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: still kind of sting as you watch back take knowing

510
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: that you were that close to to winning the game.

511
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: You know, we're really focused on on this game, um

512
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: this week. Um. That said, you remember things from every

513
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: season that you carry with you highs and lows and um,

514
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: you know, but it is it's a game of inches,

515
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: That's what this game is. It's uh, you got to

516
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: expect a close game every week, and that's what we

517
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: expect this week. They're a good, good football team and

518
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: uh number one seed in the AFC last year. So

519
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: whendn't you look at the margins of victory. You've you've

520
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: been able to win by large margins, including what happened

521
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: last week. Is there any relative concern going back to

522
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: last season? And I know it's last season you were

523
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: all five and games decided by seven points or less.

524
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: Is that is that any level of concern or maybe

525
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: you would you be able to pinpoint what's that what

526
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: that might be reflected on. Yeah, I don't think the

527
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: past is a predictor of the future. Um, if you

528
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: go back two years, we were four and one or

529
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: five and two whatever it was. So um so, UM,

530
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: it's one season at a time, one week at a time.

531
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: In this case, one game at a time, and we

532
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: put a lot of work into um playing well in

533
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: close games, which we did last week in terms of

534
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: when that game was close, we played our best football,

535
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: which I'm extremely proud of the guys for that and UM,

536
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: and I think that's something that that comes through UM

537
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: every season. That's what you want to see is playing

538
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: well in close games. And we did that last week.

539
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: It will be another close game this week. Team or

540
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: what do you what do you think of those teams? Yeah?

541
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: Good football coach Um. You know he's done a great

542
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: job him and John together building that building that team

543
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: down there and their culture and UM, you know, I

544
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: think they've been to the playoffs almost, if not every year,

545
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: just about every year since since they've been there. And UM,

546
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: they've got a good football team. UM And as I

547
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: mentioned Derrick Henry, um Tannehill, they've got a good front

548
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: on the defensive side, good safety play. So, UM, they've

549
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: got a they've got a talented roster and they're well coached.

550
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: How did you hire Annual not be a native start

551
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: like a pro? Yeah, like a pro? What did you

552
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: did you take away after you watch key? Takeaway from

553
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: how you play defense? Yeah. I just think overall it

554
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: was it was a good team effort, sal Um, good

555
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: defensive team effort. Thought we played team defense. Uh, everyone

556
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: was doing their job and their peace. They're one eleventh

557
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: as we say, and guys were flying around. Good fundamentals.

558
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: So those are things we have to build on this week.

559
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: Going off that John being a defensive guy, seeing how

560
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: your front four performed on Thursday night, is that what

561
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: you thought about when you could bring in a guy

562
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 1: possibly like von Miller, that the front four could perform

563
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: at that level. Well, that's what we need, you know,

564
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: that's what you need to play really good defense and

565
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: to win, to win championships, that's what you need. So

566
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: you know, when we had this vision of a player

567
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: like that, yes, Um in terms of getting it to

568
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: a level where we feel like we can be really good.

569
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: And again that's just something we're trying to build. It's

570
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: it's one game and now we have to look forward

571
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: in terms of this opponent and really that's where our

572
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: focus is and getting ourselves to improve our level of play.

573
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: Seventh round pickers starting at one corner, six round and

574
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: rocketing you on the other one. Undrafted free It was

575
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: year for four years as a starter. What this coaching

576
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: staff that makes you so successful developing those types of

577
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: guys at that position? You don't do another position, but

578
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: it seems like it happens more there. And when I

579
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: coaching staff, man, he's putting yourself in the group. Dude, Uh,

580
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: you know, I just think, Um, you know, it comes.

581
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: It starts with the players, the types of people that

582
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: Brandon and his staff bring in. I want to give

583
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: credit there first, Um, And then you know, I believe

584
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: we have teachers coaches that A care about the players

585
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: and b know how to develop the players that we have.

586
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: And I think that's it's never just one thing. It's

587
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: it's you know, that process of personnel, having players in

588
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: here who are wired the right way. And then um,

589
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: the player and the coach working together along with our

590
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: whole staff, you know, medical player development team to develop

591
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: not just the player but the person as well. Dan

592
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: Jones rights the columnist to that. Really it's lot of

593
00:33:54,800 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: strong personality. It's not top of this football thinking about

594
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: how the balance. I just think overall it always you

595
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: always wanted to fit together like a puzzle, like you

596
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: know you've seen over the years. Um, And this is

597
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: not specific to day kuon situation. But you see teams

598
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: on paper who look great on paper, but they don't fit,

599
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: they don't match, they don't fit well together. And so

600
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:27,240
Speaker 1: it's got a piece together talent wise, yes, but also

601
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: h personality wise as well. So UM, you need players

602
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: like day Quon that UM have a quiet style or

603
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: a lead by example type of approach. I just think

604
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: he's been um as Leslie alluded to um as you said,

605
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: just very solid, very steady in his approach day to day.

606
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: He's a pro UM. He's strong fundamentally and UM, you

607
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: know he comes to work every day, which there's a

608
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: lot to be said for that, but around him a

609
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: bit of whatever as Roger Sample brought, both on the

610
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: field and in the locker room. Yeah, I would say

611
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: similar really to to day Quan. He's a pro um.

612
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 1: You know. I know he's very involved in some of

613
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: the things off the field with what we do in

614
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: the initiatives, UM, in the organization and UM he just

615
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: you know, from a distance a year ago or before

616
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: this year, uh and now seeing him, that's what I

617
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: thought he would be in terms of the work that

618
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: he puts in when no one else is watching, kind

619
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: of the gaps in the schedule. Um, I think our

620
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: young players can stand to learn a lot from that,

621
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: from guys like day Kuan and Roger in this case,

622
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: um so, it's it's good to have on our team.

623
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: Get more d rushing. Little surprised all the giants gashed up.

624
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 1: It seemed like a surly type of furs. Um. You know,

625
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 1: I think you obviously start giving credit to the to

626
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 1: the giants in that case. And I think then you

627
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: look at the tape and that's that was uncharacteristic of

628
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: of the of that football team of the Titans. Um

629
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: So we we expect that we'll see a a different

630
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: team this week and a motivated team and and uh

631
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: you know it'll be a it'll be a good game

632
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 1: off of that um last year, the team gets struggled

633
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: to run the ball early in the season. I'll look

634
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 1: at back that first game and unto like one game

635
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 1: of average all those five yards of carry. Where you

636
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: happy with the production on that side of things? Uh? Yes, um,

637
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: you know again, we'd love to see the running backs

638
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: have more yards every week. I think the more we

639
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: can stand that two dimensional approach, the better will be.

640
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: And the more you know, or the less hits Josh

641
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: takes as well, So trying to get that imbalance as

642
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 1: well as important for me and for us and um,

643
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: and those yards are going to come for Josh because

644
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: he he has some unscripted plays out there, you know

645
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: from time and time. So um. But overall, yes, I

646
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 1: thought our two dimensional approach was was healthy for us.

647
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: Your guys or you bothered it all by the talk

648
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 1: that your defense, your number one ranking, you weren't really

649
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: quite that good that actually play. You know, I've played

650
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 1: against a lot of deven polls. Give me that again,

651
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: Give me that again. Your number one defensive ranking was

652
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: a little this leading last year. US have played a

653
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 1: lot of bad backup quarterback and wondering if the guys

654
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: talked about that and that pissed them all. That's a

655
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: question for them probably. I think you know me qussure

656
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: about your defense's ability to get pressure without having to

657
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: plass before. How you talking a little bit about how

658
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: that freeth them all the defense overall to play the run. Yeah, Um,

659
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 1: you know it all works hand in hand. As I've

660
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: said many times in here before, that rush has to

661
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 1: compliment the coverage, and and the coverage has to complement

662
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: the rush. But you can't sit there and just try

663
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: and only defend the pass um. You have to work

664
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:12,240
Speaker 1: yourself into that type of game and that starts really,

665
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: you know, on both sides of the ball and trying

666
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 1: to get a team into that situation. So, um, that's

667
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 1: what that's what you try and do. It might be

668
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: one thing, but what do you make of the connection

669
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: between the report be from Josh inst the bottom and

670
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: just something tight windows that Josh found bigs and just

671
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: through the ball in some very tight windows, and just

672
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: the developing chemistry that they continue to show new dimensions

673
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: to just what the report is. Yeah, they certainly have chemistry. John.

674
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 1: They work well together now going into year three together.

675
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: I think that's that's been evident the last couple of

676
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: years and then also as they've gotten started this year.

677
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: So um, there's a lot of communication that goes on

678
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 1: in practice also in between plays. You know, Josh will

679
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 1: try and polish something up with staff or stuff. Will

680
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 1: come back from a route and work on something with

681
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 1: Josh and say, hey, let's think about it this way. Um. Um,

682
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,240
Speaker 1: So they have a good report and more than anything,

683
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 1: I think the communication that leads to that report, your

684
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: staff watch and learn from other situations around the league.

685
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 1: What happened with the Bengals. Do you guys have a

686
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: backup long stapper or is that something you ever practice? Yeah?

687
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,439
Speaker 1: I mean you try and be listened. As a head coach,

688
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 1: you try and be prepared for everything we do. But

689
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 1: I can tell you that, I mean there's things that

690
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: come up in the course of a game, um, where

691
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 1: you try and have a backup plan. So you just

692
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: you just do the best you can. I mean I

693
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: can empathize and with with coach there on that and UM,

694
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 1: tough deal, but we try and have a backup plan

695
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: for things like that. But it's not easy. That's one

696
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, AJ is one of them. Yea. Yeah,

697
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 1: And you guys had a recently with the Giants franchise.

698
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: Is there any bethit getting ready this week because they

699
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 1: just played the team about the play, I mean yes,

700
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: and no. I think you know they're they're onto their game.

701
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,359
Speaker 1: We're onto our game, and UM, so we just try

702
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,439
Speaker 1: and focus on that more than anything. I'm sure they're

703
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: doing the same team effort stopping Aaron Downald, But it

704
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: seemed like Ryan Bates hit a lot on his plate

705
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: in regard to that on Thursday, how did you feel

706
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: about his performance overall going up against Yeah, I thought

707
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: it's never just one guy, right in this case, I

708
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 1: thought Ryan really settled in. Um, I think the first

709
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 1: couple Uh, he was tested a little bit there, but

710
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 1: he really adjusted during the game, which is which is

711
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: part of it, right. You want to be able to

712
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: adjust during the game and without having to do something

713
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: different really from a schematic standpoint, And I thought he

714
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 1: adjusted well. Pressure that you got, you know, obviously upon

715
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 1: him this week. But how is there anything you can

716
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: carry over? Is the confidence? M Yeah, I mean again,

717
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: that's a you know, it's a situation where we were

718
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:10,479
Speaker 1: able to um get them into a one dimensional type

719
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: of game a little bit. And um, you know this

720
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 1: apponent this week is you want to carry it over

721
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: every week. This appon of this week obviously thrives on

722
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:21,320
Speaker 1: running the ball and with the play action game. So um,

723
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:22,760
Speaker 1: you know, it'll be a little bit of a different

724
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: go of it. And we've got to earn earn uh

725
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: earn the line of scrimmage and do a better job

726
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: there is is documented. If somebody mentioned earlier how we

727
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 1: have not stopped them, I can't remember who it was.

728
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: But so we gotta obviously put a good week of

729
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:42,359
Speaker 1: practice in here. I don't have a U and pay

730
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 1: for them. Last year too, what did you notice and

731
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: that was a little one game, But what did you

732
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 1: notice about your passing game? What different what you saw

733
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: last year? Um, you know it's only one game, like

734
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: you said, South, so very similar passing game. Um, you

735
00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 1: know they've got a they've got a good system. I

736
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:02,760
Speaker 1: think coach Downing does a great job putting them in position.

737
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: Um and uh again, good players. So it just it's

738
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:08,399
Speaker 1: really only one game, so it's hard to really tell

739
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,359
Speaker 1: how they're using the new personnel um to this point.

740
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: But I think that's we'll get a better field as

741
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: we head into the game here. Um No, I think

742
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 1: that's I'm sorry, Tim Settle, it's very exactly. Yeah, it'll

743
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,760
Speaker 1: be fun. Um. You know, I've look forward to getting

744
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: in front of our fans and our home opener here.

745
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 1: But um, I think our players are really in Our

746
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: team is really just focused on, um you know, putting

747
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: the work and right now, one day at a time,

748
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 1: to get ourselves ready to go against a really good

749
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: football team. Big Evanessa is a guy who looks to

750
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 1: be about to come into his own I think the

751
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 1: I think there's momentum, Jerry, there, I do. I think

752
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 1: there's momentum and against one game at a time here,

753
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 1: all right. That's head coach McDermot addressing the media prior

754
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: to practice today. Number of topics to cover there, including

755
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: the fact that they have multiple backup long snappers. Steve,

756
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: They're ready for anything we'll get into. They're gonna have tryouts.

757
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 1: Well no, I mean no, they're not. But we know

758
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: AJ has been one the last couple of years, and

759
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 1: there are others on the roster as well. Uh, the

760
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 1: names of which were not revealed, but we'll we'll discuss

761
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: more of what coach McDermott said when we come back

762
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live, presented by Collata Health. It's

763
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: Buffalo bills, radio bills, tickets, check face paint, Check your

764
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 1: favorite apple with the epic crunch almost snap Dragon apples.

765
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 1: We'll be rushing into a Wegman's near you soon. Snap

766
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 1: Dragon Apples, the official apple of your Buffalo bills. We

767
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:55,879
Speaker 1: are eagerly waiting these apples to arrive. They're saying. October

768
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 1: is when these things roll into town. Let's go. Let's go.

769
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 1: Oh so yeah, the apple with the monster crunch, as

770
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: they say. Coach McDermott's comments, Steve, he spoke for about

771
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes today. The biggest things ed Oliver tim Settle

772
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 1: won't practice. They'll take it a day at a time,

773
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,439
Speaker 1: see how it goes. He believes that it is an

774
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: important control the line of scrimmage type game, which makes

775
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 1: sense knowing the elite talent that Derek Henry is. He

776
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,760
Speaker 1: was pleased with the week one performance of the defense

777
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,360
Speaker 1: up front. Steve. He said, they're gonna need another performance

778
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: like that again this week. Yeah, yeah, and you knew

779
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,360
Speaker 1: it would be true too. He's also asked, interesting because

780
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: people are starting to notice you and I have you

781
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 1: were the first guy to say this, and I'll give

782
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: you the full credit, but it's true. The player development

783
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,240
Speaker 1: was starting to be questioned because they got these guys

784
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: like Benford and Milano and Levi Wallace in the past,

785
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 1: and you know, the Kwan John and all these guys

786
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: who have played so well and gotten so much better

787
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,720
Speaker 1: in the building here since they get drafted or brought

788
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: in by the Bills, And it was interesting. His answer

789
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 1: was really interesting because he he virtually named every facet

790
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,320
Speaker 1: of the organization in the building is having a hand

791
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,840
Speaker 1: in it, from the sports science guys to the scouts,

792
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: to Brandon, to the guys themselves being wired the right way,

793
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 1: to the veterans and the leadership and the coaching staff

794
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 1: and the way that he just went down on and

795
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: on and on, And I get it because from my experience,

796
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,399
Speaker 1: every guy that comes in the door, even guys who

797
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: were like two undrafted rookies or a first round draft

798
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 1: pick like kyer Elam and a sixth round draft pick

799
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:51,919
Speaker 1: like Christian Benford, who are the same position. They it's

800
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 1: because each of those guys as similar as they are

801
00:45:55,760 --> 00:46:00,399
Speaker 1: playing the same position, same age, same experience, come into

802
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,840
Speaker 1: play for the same team. Each of them needs way

803
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 1: different things to complete their package to make them the

804
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: best version of themselves. So you need available, you know,

805
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: sports psychologists, you need you know, the sports science, the

806
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 1: strength conditioning, the coaching staff that you know, all of

807
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: this stuff has to be in place, and it's just

808
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 1: so much to think about. And it's really why I

809
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 1: think there's so much going on in this building that

810
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,359
Speaker 1: other teams are like, wow, those you know, That's why

811
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:34,359
Speaker 1: there's such a problem on the field on Sundays. They've

812
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: got so much going on in their favor on all

813
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 1: levels of the organization, and it's all focused on getting

814
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 1: each player to play their best and getting each coach

815
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 1: to coach better and learn more about themselves and how

816
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: they can communicate better. It's just a it's an atmosphere

817
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 1: that has you know, it elevated this organization really quickly,

818
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,479
Speaker 1: and now you know, you know, the local media guys

819
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 1: are going on, what's the deal? You know, why are

820
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: you guys able to do this? And it's not an

821
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 1: easy answer. Yeah. So I just think that these two

822
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: guys and their injury situation is going to be under

823
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 1: the microscope this week because it changes the dynamic of

824
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 1: the defensive line play when your rotation is compromised. If

825
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:20,879
Speaker 1: both of them can't go, I think if just one

826
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 1: of them can't go, I think you can get through

827
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 1: this game effectively. I think Brandon Brian is a pretty

828
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 1: good guy to step up and step in, knowing he's

829
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 1: played games in the past, so I don't think. I

830
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 1: don't think you would lose a tremendous amount there. But

831
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 1: if both Oliver and Settle are out, you know, now

832
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: you're getting that's a problem to an area where And

833
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:46,320
Speaker 1: I wonder this too, Steve, because we've seen this. Jack Lawson,

834
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 1: as we know, is a good set the edge defender,

835
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 1: a defensive end. But we've also seen him on obvious

836
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: passing down it's kicked down inside. Now, I'm not saying

837
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: you put him there, you know, in the first and

838
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 1: five or second and three, but I wonder if you

839
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:03,320
Speaker 1: give you at least a handful of snaps down inside

840
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:08,319
Speaker 1: here or there. We saw Boogie Basham do that late

841
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 1: in the game last week, but I think that was

842
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: more a byproduct of where the game was. You know,

843
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 1: you're up twenty one. You want to give your big

844
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 1: guys a little bit of a break. You roll maybe

845
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,399
Speaker 1: some younger players in there on the inside. You know

846
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: that the Rams are already in pass mode, being down

847
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. So I don't think that's the reason why

848
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 1: Boogie Basham was he was kicking inside because they were

849
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 1: an all outthrow mode. I think one of the things

850
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:33,479
Speaker 1: that also works against the Bills is that I don't

851
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:35,879
Speaker 1: think because of all the new guys, they still got

852
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 1: a j Boogie and Ed and Rousseau. You know from

853
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 1: the roster last year, but the rest of these guys

854
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 1: are all new Vaughan and on all those defensive tackles

855
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: except for except for Ed. I still think they're probably

856
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 1: just starting to hash out the combinations and the rotation

857
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 1: pattern so that I don't want this guy in with

858
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 1: this guy, and I want these two guys in there

859
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:03,919
Speaker 1: as much together as we can, but we still got

860
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:05,800
Speaker 1: to alternate them because we got other you know, we

861
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 1: got rep concerns. I still think they're tinkering with that

862
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 1: chemistry and the way they want to rotate it so

863
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 1: that on down and distances, they've got the right combination

864
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 1: of defensive lineman, the right skill sets in there, the

865
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 1: guys that compliment each other, the guys that play well together.

866
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 1: It's one game, and they didn't play in the preseason

867
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: a lot, so I still think they're probably doing that.

868
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: So with now with Settle out and and maybe Oliver

869
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:35,399
Speaker 1: out or maybe whatever, that's gonna you know, it throws

870
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 1: an extra degree of difficulty onto that process of finding

871
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 1: out just when they do play their best and what

872
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:44,439
Speaker 1: combinations are on the field. It's gonna throw a wrench

873
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,360
Speaker 1: into that. So we'll have to take it day by day.

874
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 1: And see where it goes from here. I mean, maybe

875
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 1: one of them is back, maybe both of them is back.

876
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 1: There is time, plenty of time before we get to

877
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 1: Monday night. And in case you didn't see, the Bills

878
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 1: will again be all blue. It appears as the Titans

879
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 1: will be all white on Monday night. So the Bills

880
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 1: blew from top to bottom with the exception of their helmets, jerseys,

881
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:14,719
Speaker 1: and pants, and the Titans in all white on Monday night.

882
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: We take a break here, but when we come back,

883
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:21,319
Speaker 1: we get the four one one on the Titans from

884
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 1: former Titans strong safety Blaine Bishop, now a radio analyst

887
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 1: After going oh and one being upset by the giants

888
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:39,000

Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you and please to be joined now

893
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:35,719
Speaker 1: by a four time Pro Bowl safety mainly known for

Speaker 1: his time with the Tennessee Titans happy to have the

895
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:41,239
Speaker 1: co host of the Blaine and Mickey Show on one

896
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:44,280
Speaker 1: h four point five FM The Zone down there in Nashville.

897
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 1: Wade is one plane bishop joining us here on the

898
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 1: line playing good to have you. How you been? I've

899
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 1: been doing much better after that losted a jimell myself personally,

900
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, you know, panic all over the place, right,

901
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 1: why don't we start there playing? Because you know, you're

902
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:05,880
Speaker 1: always curious as to a team vibe coming off a

903
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:10,239
Speaker 1: loss that maybe wasn't anticipated. So how how is the

904
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 1: vibe around the team here as they get ready for

905
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: this Monday night camp. Well, fortunately, you know, they have

906
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 1: some veterans on the team and they understand things happen,

907
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 1: and it's it's only tight nest that they, you know,

908
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 1: lose a game that they're supposed to win ali last

909
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: year and then come back and then win a game.

910
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 1: So I think they're pretty confident. I think they just weren't.

911
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 1: They were undisciplined in the gap lanes there on defense.

912
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:35,880
Speaker 1: And uh, you know a lot of people are questioning

913
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator here, but I'm kind of used to it.

914
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 1: That's kind of how he's looked, you know, last year,

915
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 1: so there was no surprise there. You just can't give up,

916
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:46,360
Speaker 1: you know, two hundred and some yards to a team

917
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 1: and right that you know you're bound to lose. So

918
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:52,759
Speaker 1: to me, the defense more so than you know, the

919
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:55,879
Speaker 1: fan base blaming the play calling on the offense. So

920
00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 1: that's kind of how I view it. And I think

921
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 1: they're in a you know, as good as they could

922
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 1: be after you know, a tough loss to a team

923
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 1: that they're supposed to beat. So yeah, this is going

924
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 1: to be an interesting game and see how they come

925
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 1: out and play in a respond because as you guys know,

926
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 1: every year as a new year, new chemistry, regardless of

927
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 1: some of the same pieces are there or not. So

928
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:19,800
Speaker 1: I may see how they respond. Yeah, it's interesting because

929
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 1: both these teams are different. Of course, the tennis Titans

930
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 1: were the number one seed a year ago and it's

931
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 1: always unexpected when they dropped their opening game, but they

932
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 1: came in. It's a different roster. It's always a different

933
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:32,319
Speaker 1: vibe in the locker room, different chemistry and something you know,

934
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 1: something better, worse, whatever the same or just different. They

935
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: lost a key element and Harold Landry and you're talking

936
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 1: about their defense being really, in your mind, was surprisingly

937
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: less than what it should have been. Give us how

938
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 1: much do they missed Harold Landry and what kind of

939
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 1: the outlook do they have going forward? Well, I equated

940
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:57,360
Speaker 1: it too. It's bigger than having Derek Henry injured last season.

941
00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:00,040
Speaker 1: And that sounds crazy to you know, for people to

942
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,720
Speaker 1: hear something like that. But the scheme in the system

943
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:05,440
Speaker 1: was built on running game, you know, on offense. When

944
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 1: they lost Hengry last season, you know, they missed the

945
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 1: home run hitter type play. But the scheme is gonna

946
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: be what it is quality running back back there informing

947
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:16,359
Speaker 1: last season they were able to you know, you know,

948
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 1: hold the stables and keep it rocking and rolling. Herol

949
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:22,919
Speaker 1: Landry is a bigger miss here because of what he does,

950
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:26,320
Speaker 1: not just in the past rush, but his his dropping coverage,

951
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 1: his versatility, uh you know in his pass rushes, uh,

952
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:32,920
Speaker 1: with them line up inside outside, and he's just a

953
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 1: key cog. And that's why they gave him, you know,

954
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:37,720
Speaker 1: eighty million dollars. So obviously he's a really good player.

955
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 1: So they they had multiple people trying to step up

956
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 1: in that role and sometimes they did well and sometimes not.

957
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:48,320
Speaker 1: So I thought it was a bigger miss for them

958
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 1: than last season. I said that going into the game.

959
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 1: So yeah, now that that's that's huge. So now you

960
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 1: can't just rely on your front four to get after

961
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 1: the quarterback, as you guys know. Now they're gonna have

962
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 1: to do with sumplicity and different schemes and systems to

963
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 1: kind of, you know, create pass rush lanes. Bud Dupree

964
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 1: was a guy that seemed to use last year as

965
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:13,400
Speaker 1: again healthy year, you know, coming off that major knee injury.

966
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 1: When the Titans first acquired him. The early word is

967
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:20,760
Speaker 1: it looks like his explosiveness has returned to his game.

968
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:23,399
Speaker 1: How how did he look in Week one and does

969
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 1: he kind of look more like the pass rusher most

970
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:29,719
Speaker 1: of us saw in Pittsburgh that you know made him

971
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 1: attractive to Tennessee in the first place. Yeah, he definitely

972
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:36,800
Speaker 1: looked a lot better than last season. You know, it's

973
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:38,839
Speaker 1: you know, it's just one week, but he did look

974
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 1: like he was more explosive. He got some production there really,

975
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 1: you know, he had a like a sack and you know,

976
00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 1: he was around a quarterback all day long. I didn't

977
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 1: see any of that last season, So I would have

978
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:51,239
Speaker 1: to say he is fully healthy and ready to rock

979
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:53,240
Speaker 1: and roll. And I think he's gonna have to fulfill,

980
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 1: you know, Landry's role as kind of that lead dog

981
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 1: from the outside pass rush if they're going to have

982
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 1: any success not only of defense, but just this season.

983
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:07,360
Speaker 1: And as the season rules got started, a big conversation

984
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:09,919
Speaker 1: around the NFL was who played their starters and who

985
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:12,800
Speaker 1: did not play their starters. And then Week one rules

986
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 1: around and the Titans get de Shaun hand hurt and

987
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 1: AJ Morals Junior also hurt. And those guys right to

988
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 1: ir well hand, yeah, they're both right to IR. So

989
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:26,840
Speaker 1: you know, big losses. How did that debate go of

990
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:28,759
Speaker 1: whether to play your guys in the preseason or whether

991
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 1: it didn't, How it was that played out in Tennessee

992
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 1: and as they rolled in the season, all of a sudden,

993
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:37,760
Speaker 1: you know, you got two pretty important guys hurt right away.

994
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:41,360
Speaker 1: What's your take on how the peat preseason should be

995
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:43,839
Speaker 1: handled and the meaning it has as you go into

996
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:47,839
Speaker 1: opening day. Well, let's talk about those two players. They

997
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:50,480
Speaker 1: did play actually in the preseason, but the Titans did

998
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:52,719
Speaker 1: not play a lot of their starters. There are rotational

999
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 1: guys who are you know, in contributors not only on

1000
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 1: special teams, but also on defense. The Titans chose not

1001
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:00,880
Speaker 1: to play their starter because when I was a little

1002
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:03,239
Speaker 1: bit against that, and reason why I watched. I watched

1003
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:05,560
Speaker 1: all the elite teams and you know, let's go Tampa

1004
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:09,560
Speaker 1: Bay to Buffalo and you know, Alan's playing to my homes.

1005
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:12,360
Speaker 1: I said, well, why are they playing their players? Especially

1006
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:15,600
Speaker 1: every years a proof of year. Even if I even

1007
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 1: if you just played a quarter, I felt like, you

1008
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 1: have to get adjusted to the speed of the game

1009
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 1: and you want to come off. You know, in that

1010
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 1: first game blazing Now, they did look good in the

1011
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 1: first half, so I have to give them credit. Last

1012
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 1: year they did not. Versus Arizona, they got smoked. So

1013
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 1: there's just a part of me, being a blue collar

1014
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 1: former player that I feel like I want to be

1015
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 1: just as good as I was the year before, are

1016
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 1: better and I want to go out there and getting

1017
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:41,439
Speaker 1: my keys and reads and get to going and rocking

1018
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 1: and rolling. And especially with Tanny Hill, you just wanted

1019
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:48,040
Speaker 1: to get that you know, feeling of nasty taste. After

1020
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:50,160
Speaker 1: the playoff Loft get him out there. You know a

1021
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 1: lot of people were like, oh, if he would have

1022
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 1: got hurt, well, you know what, a lot of guys

1023
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 1: not playing or getting hurt in that first game because

1024
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 1: they're not used to playing in football game. So just

1025
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 1: my mentality me personally, if I was a coach, and

1026
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:02,919
Speaker 1: that's probably why I'm not coaching, I probably I would

1027
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 1: have put my guys out there at least four quarter two.

1028
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 1: What can you say, Blaine about the draft class, because

1029
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 1: it looks like they're leaning on this class for contributions

1030
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 1: early and often. You know, their top three draft choices

1031
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:23,320
Speaker 1: are all technically listed as starters. I know they're happy

1032
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:25,640
Speaker 1: with what Kyle Phillips has done, the fifth round pick,

1033
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 1: who's kind of been a little bit of a revelation

1034
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 1: through the preseason. I mean, even their punter and their

1035
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:35,480
Speaker 1: punt returner are rookies. So this just I'm not saying

1036
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 1: it's unusual, but I know Vrabel usually likes guys to

1037
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 1: prove themselves before he thrusts them into full time roles.

1038
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:48,040
Speaker 1: Has that changed a little bit just out of necessity? Well,

1039
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:49,920
Speaker 1: I mean we could also throw in Burgs, who was

1040
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 1: the first first pick of the draft, who contributed way

1041
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 1: more in this first game than he did all that season.

1042
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 1: He only played like twenty steps he got five targets,

1043
00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 1: and that's big for the Titans offense, which the football

1044
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 1: Phillips did an exceptional job. I think he showed all

1045
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 1: during camp and he was gonna be special. I thought

1046
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:07,520
Speaker 1: he was going to be special when they drafted him

1047
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 1: because of his rote running ability and his returnability, and

1048
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:13,800
Speaker 1: that's just something that the Titans didn't have. So him

1049
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 1: escalating up sooner than later wasn't a surprise. Maybe as

1050
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:21,440
Speaker 1: many targets as he got, maybe so, but there in

1051
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 1: need a wide receiver, big play. I was really surprised

1052
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,400
Speaker 1: that Woods was only targeted, as you guys know him

1053
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 1: only two times. He was in training camp with a

1054
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 1: brace on all a mini camp and then training camp

1055
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:34,240
Speaker 1: he didn't have a brace on from his ACL tear.

1056
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 1: So you know, I think sometimes it's all about rhythm

1057
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 1: and flow and what the defense was given him. While

1058
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:43,280
Speaker 1: some guys got more targets than not. But Rabel's real

1059
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 1: big on just team philosophy and maybe this week you

1060
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:50,880
Speaker 1: got ten targets, next week you may only get five,

1061
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 1: maybe you only get two, and so it kind of

1062
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 1: he kind of builds this team on the with the

1063
00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 1: receivers with no stud that hey we're gonna take it

1064
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:01,240
Speaker 1: where the defense takes us on where Tenne Hill throws it.

1065
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 1: So if it's not you, you know, you got to

1066
01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 1: be a team player and hold out no star stud

1067
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 1: of guys. But yes, their contribution was big. I obviously

1068
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 1: not big enough, and I think they got to get

1069
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:15,120
Speaker 1: more out of all the players. Really, in the first game,

1070
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:18,440
Speaker 1: I didn't think they were disciplined on defense, as I

1071
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 1: mentioned as gap control, and then in critical situations they

1072
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,640
Speaker 1: didn't maybe a block correctly or run the route to

1073
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:28,920
Speaker 1: the right depth, which are all critical in the philosophy

1074
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 1: how vrabel plays, which is running football, and every game

1075
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:33,640
Speaker 1: is going to be close. Even though they was up

1076
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 1: thirteen none at half, they were dominating that game at halftime.

1077
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:38,760
Speaker 1: See they should have been up by more than that.

1078
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 1: They couldn't convert on third downs as well as they're

1079
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 1: getting field goals instead of touchdowns in the red zone,

1080
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:47,919
Speaker 1: so those things really contributed. And then the second half

1081
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:49,960
Speaker 1: they got a glimpse of light with you know, Barkley

1082
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:51,880
Speaker 1: taking a long run and boom, seven points and now

1083
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they're in the game. So I

1084
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:57,200
Speaker 1: thought they played solid, but they just weren't discipline when

1085
01:00:57,240 --> 01:00:58,960
Speaker 1: they need to be. And then by the way, they're

1086
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 1: gonna watch film. And I was calling it from the booth.

1087
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 1: They kept running boots out the wazoo, every form of

1088
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:07,440
Speaker 1: boots you can imagine. They did it, and the Titans

1089
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:10,640
Speaker 1: never defended it. If you did, and that may have

1090
01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:14,120
Speaker 1: been the answer to this question. If the players played

1091
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:16,200
Speaker 1: is the way the coaches wanted them too. Is there

1092
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:19,880
Speaker 1: anything tactically or any form of offense that the Titans

1093
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:22,960
Speaker 1: didn't do well or need to implement to get them

1094
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:25,520
Speaker 1: back on track offensively, get them a little to convert

1095
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 1: a little bit more in the red zone, that kind

1096
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:31,080
Speaker 1: of thing. What will Rabel and his coaching staff need

1097
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 1: to get this team to do to get them back

1098
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:36,920
Speaker 1: in the wind? Call them, well, it's the things that

1099
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:39,520
Speaker 1: you know. I feel like I think they're gonna run

1100
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:42,440
Speaker 1: here anymore. Twenty one carries wasn't enough in their mind. Probably,

1101
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:46,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure, but I think a little more creativity on

1102
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 1: offense and maybe not second getting yourself. You know, sometimes

1103
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:52,760
Speaker 1: as coaches, you think, Okay, they're gonna prepare for this,

1104
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 1: and then you get them out in the formation that

1105
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 1: they're familiar, and then you do something else with this

1106
01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:58,760
Speaker 1: not your strength. I think they're just gonna stick to

1107
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:02,200
Speaker 1: what they know, try to slow this game down. And

1108
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 1: you guys have a talented team with the leader there

1109
01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:07,480
Speaker 1: in Allan and two superstars up on both sides of

1110
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 1: the ball, I mean with Ron Miller, so with other

1111
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 1: you know, great support, you know players. So I think

1112
01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:17,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to run the football to have any success,

1113
01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:18,440
Speaker 1: and I don't know if they'll be able to do

1114
01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:20,560
Speaker 1: it because I don't know if Henry is up to

1115
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:24,520
Speaker 1: let's say Henry level yet. And breaking the long one,

1116
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 1: I thought he dropped a wildcat snap which I thought

1117
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:31,640
Speaker 1: could have been maybe a successful play in the home

1118
01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 1: run hitter with his speed and size. But they're gonna

1119
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 1: have to do something big. They have to create some

1120
01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:40,040
Speaker 1: form of big plays and take shots down the field.

1121
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 1: And only took one shot really that was effective throughout

1122
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:45,680
Speaker 1: the whole game. Last one I've got for your playing

1123
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:47,720
Speaker 1: and lets you know, kind of get into your wheelhouse

1124
01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:50,240
Speaker 1: a little bit on the back end defensively for this group.

1125
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 1: We know that the Titans have invested heavily in the

1126
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 1: corner position the last couple of drafts, whether it's you know,

1127
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:58,920
Speaker 1: Christian Fulton, Caleb Farley, Roger McCleary. I mean, all those

1128
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 1: guys were taking in the first second round each of

1129
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 1: the last three years. All of them are up and playing.

1130
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:06,320
Speaker 1: I know Bayer kind of holds things down on the

1131
01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:09,680
Speaker 1: back end as the veteran safety. How do you see

1132
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:13,880
Speaker 1: those coverage assignments kind of lining up with this crew

1133
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:18,760
Speaker 1: in Buffalo that they'll be putting out there. Excuse me,

1134
01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 1: that was another issue, just little small things. Foulton, who's

1135
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 1: had a really a good first two years, and his

1136
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:27,920
Speaker 1: eye discipline on the deep ball. You're the deep third guy.

1137
01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 1: Why are you looking in the backfield the guy zooming

1138
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:32,880
Speaker 1: by you. I mean, that's just undisciplined. Your job is

1139
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 1: to get the guy who's running by you to quit

1140
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 1: getting memorized by the quarterback. The quarterback's not throwing to you,

1141
01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:42,040
Speaker 1: so they can't have those little mistakes like that. Before that,

1142
01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 1: he had played pretty solid over the last couple of years.

1143
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:49,120
Speaker 1: Farley is trying to stay healthy and being a contributor

1144
01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:52,160
Speaker 1: really in nickel situations. He comes in on the outside.

1145
01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 1: The real good surprise for them is Roger mccruy, the

1146
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 1: second round pick who they said had short arms from

1147
01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:00,880
Speaker 1: Auburn has done really well and as a prose pro

1148
01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:03,720
Speaker 1: and play solid. He can play outside, inside, he can

1149
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:07,200
Speaker 1: pretty much do whatever you want. So I think that

1150
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:10,600
Speaker 1: young nucoleas uh you know, has done fairly well. But

1151
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:14,000
Speaker 1: whenever you lose, you know, as Steve knows, you know,

1152
01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 1: nobody has done good enough and every individual person must

1153
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:19,800
Speaker 1: look within themselves to see what they can do to

1154
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:22,720
Speaker 1: do better within the scheme, in the system on both

1155
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:25,680
Speaker 1: sides of the ball, and then play football. I think

1156
01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 1: guys were trying too hard to make plays instead of

1157
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:32,120
Speaker 1: just actually doing their job. Blaine, it's good talking to you.

1158
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:34,240
Speaker 1: It's great, been great. I'm glad to catch up with you.

1159
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:37,120

1161
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:41,080
Speaker 1: you guys look fan tablets and see if they can

1162
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:43,600
Speaker 1: take that. Man. Man, I wouldn't want to be tackling

1163
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:46,600
Speaker 1: Josh Allen right now. I'll tell you that. Yeah, and

1164
01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 1: you were a box safety man that used to bring

1165
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:54,600
Speaker 1: the wood. But that guy six five many thanks playing

1166
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:57,680
Speaker 1: all right, tell less I said hi bye bye. All right,

1167
01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:01,160
Speaker 1: all right, that's Blaine Bishop spending some time with us.

1168
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:03,040
Speaker 1: We have to take a break here because when we

1169
01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:06,240
Speaker 1: come back, we're gonna be joined by Bills left guard

1170
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 1: Roger Staffold when we return here on One Bills Live,

1171
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:28,280
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right,

1172
01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:30,840
Speaker 1: welcome back to one Bills Live time for our fresh

1173
01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:33,280
Speaker 1: off the field interview, brought to you by Austin Air,

1174
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:35,800
Speaker 1: the official clean air provider of the Buffalo Bills. And

1175
01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:39,280
Speaker 1: joining us now is your starting left guard Roger Staffold,

1176
01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:43,520
Speaker 1: coming off a week one victory, a resounding victory, thirty

1177
01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:46,480
Speaker 1: one to ten. And Roger, I know that's already in

1178
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:48,920
Speaker 1: the rearview mirror for you as you begin to focus

1179
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:54,720
Speaker 1: on the Titans, And my curiosity comes from here because

1180
01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:59,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you know those players there on that Tennessee roster. Heck,

1181
01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:01,720
Speaker 1: you know the guys on the La roster too. You've

1182
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:08,240
Speaker 1: been around. Um, what can you lend to your offensive

1183
01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:14,120
Speaker 1: line teammates? Just from a personnel perspective, you know, tendencies,

1184
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:17,200
Speaker 1: things that you know, maybe something Jeffrey Simmons likes to

1185
01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:19,000
Speaker 1: do on a rundown, you know what I mean? Those

1186
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:21,200
Speaker 1: kinds of things. You don't have to share the secrets here,

1187
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:23,680
Speaker 1: but is there something that you can lend to your

1188
01:06:23,720 --> 01:06:25,800
Speaker 1: teammates in that respect. Well, I think that you know,

1189
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:27,240
Speaker 1: the older that you get in this game, you know,

1190
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:29,360
Speaker 1: you're able to kind of broaden your perspective a little bit.

1191
01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:31,120
Speaker 1: So I'm seeing a lot more and take it a

1192
01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:33,800
Speaker 1: lot more in than than normal. So I've really seen,

1193
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:36,919
Speaker 1: like you know, guys go to rushes in the past,

1194
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 1: protection I kind of know how guys play it. Um

1195
01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:43,000
Speaker 1: you know, I know exactly how like who they're looking

1196
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:45,120
Speaker 1: at is who they're pretty much gonna be judging their

1197
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 1: their run game after um, and that particularly helps a

1198
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:51,520
Speaker 1: lot in like double team situations things like that. Um,

1199
01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:55,720
Speaker 1: you know their go to moves off of play action. UM. So,

1200
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:58,520
Speaker 1: just knowing the personnel, and especially since I was there

1201
01:06:58,600 --> 01:07:00,400
Speaker 1: last year, I think I got more to give them

1202
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:02,640
Speaker 1: that I did with the Rams, even though I know

1203
01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:04,480
Speaker 1: a lot of those guys and I've been pretty close

1204
01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:06,400
Speaker 1: to those guys, so, um, you know, as much as

1205
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:08,160
Speaker 1: I can give them in order to get them ready

1206
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:09,600
Speaker 1: for this game, because you know, we have just a

1207
01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:12,360
Speaker 1: huge physical games on Monday. You can give us some

1208
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:14,040
Speaker 1: conjecture too. What's it going to be like for the

1209
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:15,960
Speaker 1: Titans this week? Getting ready for the Bills I mean,

1210
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:18,400
Speaker 1: this is a team in a close, tight knit game.

1211
01:07:18,520 --> 01:07:21,240
Speaker 1: You were with the Titans last year in the in

1212
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:24,120
Speaker 1: the game in Tennessee. You went through that whole season

1213
01:07:24,160 --> 01:07:26,240
Speaker 1: as the one seed and and you had a disappointing

1214
01:07:26,320 --> 01:07:29,040
Speaker 1: end to it. What's the vibe gonna be like in

1215
01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:32,560
Speaker 1: Tennessee getting ready for this game in Buffalo. Um, well,

1216
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:35,240
Speaker 1: I'll just say this right off the bat. Raybel's always

1217
01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:38,200
Speaker 1: already showing them a ton of tape with us. Um.

1218
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:42,439
Speaker 1: They they're they're really well coached. Um, you know, they're

1219
01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:46,960
Speaker 1: they're very physical team. Uh. You know, I hate to

1220
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:48,600
Speaker 1: say this, but when it comes to teams that you

1221
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:51,080
Speaker 1: know they're supposed to win, they usually have trouble. It

1222
01:07:51,160 --> 01:07:53,440
Speaker 1: kind of goes to differtance and doesn't necessarily go in

1223
01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:55,880
Speaker 1: their way. But when they're challenged with, like, you know,

1224
01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:57,760
Speaker 1: a really really good team, you know, they bring out

1225
01:07:57,800 --> 01:08:00,360
Speaker 1: their best ball. So you know, I'm not as effecting

1226
01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:02,520
Speaker 1: to see, you know, kind of the mishaps that happened

1227
01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:05,240
Speaker 1: last game. I expect to see, you know, the best

1228
01:08:05,240 --> 01:08:07,480
Speaker 1: shot that they have to offer, and we need to

1229
01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:10,720
Speaker 1: nullify that nullified early because they're just their confidence just

1230
01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:14,880
Speaker 1: continues to roll on throughout the game. How was communication

1231
01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:18,120
Speaker 1: upfront last week? Because you know, first time, real bullets

1232
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:21,519
Speaker 1: all that stuff. There didn't seem to be many mental errors,

1233
01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:24,799
Speaker 1: if any at all. Execution looked pretty good, like start

1234
01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 1: to finish in the game for you guys offensively, had

1235
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 1: that all work up front in terms of communication and

1236
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:32,759
Speaker 1: everything pre snap post snap. I think it just comes

1237
01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:35,960
Speaker 1: with being prepared. You know, Chromer has done a great

1238
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 1: job of getting us ready, getting Ris ready for a

1239
01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:40,160
Speaker 1: bunch of different looks. I mean, we had a great game,

1240
01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:43,640
Speaker 1: a great first game against so many different fronts, you know,

1241
01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:46,479
Speaker 1: which you normally don't go through at the beginning of

1242
01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 1: the season. For us to be able to kind of

1243
01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:51,720
Speaker 1: like work through that and everything was not perfect, I

1244
01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:54,080
Speaker 1: mean there was a couple of indiscrepancies here and there,

1245
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:55,519
Speaker 1: but the fact that we were able to go back

1246
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:58,080
Speaker 1: to the sideline judge it off of that, not think

1247
01:08:58,080 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 1: too much into it, and then just kind of together

1248
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:02,120
Speaker 1: they kind of get better as the game went on.

1249
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:05,640
Speaker 1: You know, we were definitely satisfied with the results. You

1250
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:08,880
Speaker 1: came into this season and you don't know a Bill's

1251
01:09:08,920 --> 01:09:11,400
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator other than Ken Dorsey, give us your the

1252
01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:13,920
Speaker 1: take and what Josh said, and what they've talked about

1253
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:16,600
Speaker 1: the play selection, we've heard that. You know, it was

1254
01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:18,720
Speaker 1: really smooth. He called it out real early, and the

1255
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:20,680
Speaker 1: play clock they got a chance to get to the

1256
01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:22,599
Speaker 1: line once in a while. You guys were breaking the huddle,

1257
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:26,080
Speaker 1: like twenty two seconds given him, given Josh a chance,

1258
01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 1: even Ken Dorsey a chance to look at the defense

1259
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:30,839
Speaker 1: before the ball snapped, and before the play clock hits fifteen,

1260
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:33,400
Speaker 1: He's called the play after he sees the defense. All

1261
01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:35,240
Speaker 1: that stuff seemed to go really smooth. Is at the

1262
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:36,560
Speaker 1: take you get in the vibe you get from the

1263
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:41,200
Speaker 1: guys who talked to him. Absolutely, you know, uh Dorsey

1264
01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:42,960
Speaker 1: being a quarterback, I'm sure that he wished he could

1265
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:46,040
Speaker 1: throw the ball every single play, but you know, him

1266
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:48,240
Speaker 1: being able to filter in there and throwing some runs.

1267
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:51,440
Speaker 1: Making sure that we're two dimensional guys doing their fundamentals

1268
01:09:51,439 --> 01:09:53,599
Speaker 1: and our wide receivers doing a great job of reading

1269
01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:56,120
Speaker 1: those coverages put us in great positions in that game.

1270
01:09:56,240 --> 01:09:58,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you saw you saw Stefan blowing the top

1271
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:01,679
Speaker 1: off of the defense. I mean you've seen great play

1272
01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:05,439
Speaker 1: clause with the around showing Gabe blocking for just a

1273
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:08,200
Speaker 1: quick second and then able to get out. You know,

1274
01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:11,600
Speaker 1: just the play selection has been great, and you know,

1275
01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:14,920
Speaker 1: we're always on the attack, which I love because Dorsey

1276
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:17,040
Speaker 1: is such a great competitor, you know, which a lot

1277
01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:20,080
Speaker 1: of people don't see, but you know, because of that

1278
01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:23,479
Speaker 1: competition that he loves, you know, we're always just continuing

1279
01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:26,559
Speaker 1: to attack and continueing to push down the field. It

1280
01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:30,760
Speaker 1: was interesting for us to see Reggie william in a

1281
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:33,320
Speaker 1: pretty expanse and I shouldn't say expanded role, but he

1282
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:35,880
Speaker 1: got more work than we had really seen from him

1283
01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:39,720
Speaker 1: last season, maybe even the season before that, and to

1284
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:42,760
Speaker 1: see him kind of working as a fullback even as

1285
01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:44,640
Speaker 1: a move tight end a little bit. You guys had

1286
01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:47,160
Speaker 1: some twenty one personnel and ran out of it pretty well.

1287
01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:50,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to call it an extra dimension to

1288
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:53,000
Speaker 1: the offense because it's just one game, and who knows,

1289
01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:55,599
Speaker 1: ken Dorsey might have a completely different this week. But

1290
01:10:56,240 --> 01:11:02,680
Speaker 1: seeing Reggie step up and fill that role capably, I

1291
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:04,639
Speaker 1: gotta imagine it's a good thing because it makes you

1292
01:11:05,320 --> 01:11:07,400
Speaker 1: more of a varied offense if he can step in

1293
01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:11,080
Speaker 1: and execute in those situations. For coach doors, you know,

1294
01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:12,840
Speaker 1: we joke about it, me and Reggie Doo, but just

1295
01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:14,400
Speaker 1: about you know, sometimes he's got to go into the

1296
01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:17,080
Speaker 1: huddle and be like, Okay, who am I What positions

1297
01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:19,479
Speaker 1: am I playing right now? So I can block this

1298
01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:22,000
Speaker 1: play effectively or run the ball or catch the ball.

1299
01:11:22,040 --> 01:11:25,240
Speaker 1: Whatever he does. But you know, he's definitely earned his contract.

1300
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:29,320
Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen even crazier looks throughout the preseason

1301
01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:31,720
Speaker 1: where he's had to play even more different dimensions. So

1302
01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:34,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm really proud of the way that he's

1303
01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:36,840
Speaker 1: responded to that. And practice does make perfect because he's

1304
01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:39,599
Speaker 1: been doing this consistently and he's starting to really get

1305
01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:43,719
Speaker 1: comfortable where he is. What's the offensive guys saying about?

1306
01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:45,639
Speaker 1: You know, the interceptions they had, you know with im mits,

1307
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:47,400
Speaker 1: Sam McKenzie was in his hands, out of his hands

1308
01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:49,400
Speaker 1: in the two running backs got it chopped out of

1309
01:11:49,439 --> 01:11:52,519
Speaker 1: their hands as well. How are they handling those? And

1310
01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:55,880
Speaker 1: that's got to be like the one thing that well,

1311
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:58,760
Speaker 1: he didn't punt the entire game, so it's got to

1312
01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:00,280
Speaker 1: be the one thing that you're saying, Okay, got to

1313
01:12:00,320 --> 01:12:03,439
Speaker 1: do better. How are they handling that, particularly the young guys. Well, honestly,

1314
01:12:03,479 --> 01:12:05,120
Speaker 1: you know, when it comes to that first game, you know,

1315
01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:06,760
Speaker 1: it's the first time that we're all fully in there.

1316
01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:09,760
Speaker 1: Everybody's playing both sides of the ball, so I mean

1317
01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:12,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna see those you know, kind of kind of

1318
01:12:12,360 --> 01:12:15,760
Speaker 1: pains in the first game. Now luckily we gotta win,

1319
01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:18,840
Speaker 1: so it's not as bad. But there's also tons of

1320
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:21,360
Speaker 1: things that we can learn from that. So, you know,

1321
01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:25,040
Speaker 1: not find factual yards in four minute one of those situations.

1322
01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:26,800
Speaker 1: You know, just hey, let's just take it right here

1323
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:28,639
Speaker 1: and keep the ball in our hands, keep it moving,

1324
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:31,840
Speaker 1: you know, making sure that we have it high and tight,

1325
01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:34,439
Speaker 1: and really see those outside lanes so if you don't

1326
01:12:34,439 --> 01:12:36,840
Speaker 1: even get into that position, and then just you know,

1327
01:12:36,920 --> 01:12:39,639
Speaker 1: making sure that we're giving accurate throws and really attacking

1328
01:12:39,680 --> 01:12:42,200
Speaker 1: the ball with our hands. I mean, it's just all

1329
01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:43,880
Speaker 1: a part of it. So, you know, even though it

1330
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:47,479
Speaker 1: was frustrating to have those types of things happen, you know,

1331
01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:49,360
Speaker 1: I think that guys are just you know, continue to

1332
01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:52,200
Speaker 1: get accustomed to the season, and we'll notify that. I

1333
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:54,479
Speaker 1: know that, you know, the goal every week is to

1334
01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:59,840
Speaker 1: make the opponent one dimensional, particularly for your defense. But

1335
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:02,960
Speaker 1: you guys got to really get up on the Titans

1336
01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:05,360
Speaker 1: to convince Mike Vrabel to stop running the football. Like

1337
01:13:05,640 --> 01:13:08,120
Speaker 1: ten nothing, he doesn't blink, he's still running the ball.

1338
01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:11,200
Speaker 1: You know, thirteen nothing, he may not even blink and

1339
01:13:11,240 --> 01:13:14,040
Speaker 1: still want to run the ball. How far up do

1340
01:13:14,080 --> 01:13:15,880
Speaker 1: you got to get on the Titans to convince Mike

1341
01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:19,439
Speaker 1: Vrabel to consider something else besides riding Derek? Well, I mean,

1342
01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:21,519
Speaker 1: you know, I know that the Titans don't want to

1343
01:13:21,560 --> 01:13:23,920
Speaker 1: be one dimensional, one dimensional when it comes to running

1344
01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:26,640
Speaker 1: to throwing the ball. Yeah, but you know, if you

1345
01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:29,120
Speaker 1: took away that run game, you're pretty much taking away

1346
01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:32,240
Speaker 1: you know who they are, right and you know if

1347
01:13:32,240 --> 01:13:34,479
Speaker 1: his first second, third quarter, you know, they don't want

1348
01:13:34,479 --> 01:13:36,800
Speaker 1: to necessarily take that away. So things have to be

1349
01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:39,360
Speaker 1: really out of hand before they start becoming one dimensional

1350
01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:41,920
Speaker 1: like that when you get into this game. I mean,

1351
01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:45,760
Speaker 1: certainly when you come up to Buffalo and you come

1352
01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:47,920
Speaker 1: from Tennessee, you got to the schedule comes out and

1353
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:50,120
Speaker 1: it's like, yes, serving this Monday night football, and you

1354
01:13:50,160 --> 01:13:51,840
Speaker 1: know you got some guys that you got some love

1355
01:13:51,880 --> 01:13:54,759
Speaker 1: and respect for down there, right. Yeah, but you're still too.

1356
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:57,280
Speaker 1: I mean I did the same thing. A lot of

1357
01:13:57,280 --> 01:14:00,559
Speaker 1: motivation for you personally coming into this game. Absolutely, you

1358
01:14:00,560 --> 01:14:02,200
Speaker 1: know what I mean, You know you never want to

1359
01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:03,800
Speaker 1: go down the road, that's you know, I kind of

1360
01:14:03,840 --> 01:14:05,799
Speaker 1: had to go to which you know, there's tough decisions

1361
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:07,519
Speaker 1: for every team, so of course I never take any

1362
01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:10,759
Speaker 1: of that personally. But you know, going against the Rams

1363
01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:14,400
Speaker 1: my first team, now going against the Titans, you know,

1364
01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:16,400
Speaker 1: after that, I mean it's just you know, kind of

1365
01:14:16,439 --> 01:14:20,040
Speaker 1: like it was almost built for me, right, yeah, back

1366
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:22,360
Speaker 1: to back like that. But you know, like I said,

1367
01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:24,519
Speaker 1: because I have so much respect for that guys, because

1368
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:26,479
Speaker 1: I know the identity of the team, because I know

1369
01:14:26,520 --> 01:14:29,000
Speaker 1: how these guys play, that's all the motivation I need.

1370
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:31,000
Speaker 1: I know that this is gonna be a physical game.

1371
01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:33,960
Speaker 1: I know there's gonna be some big collisions, and I

1372
01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:37,200
Speaker 1: know that we're really gonna have to be efficient up

1373
01:14:37,240 --> 01:14:39,240
Speaker 1: and down the field in order to you know, put

1374
01:14:39,280 --> 01:14:41,799
Speaker 1: them in that one dimension and then really start attacking.

1375
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:43,439
Speaker 1: It kind of makes you gratefully you got a couple

1376
01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:46,600
Speaker 1: of extra days between these two games. M kind of

1377
01:14:46,760 --> 01:14:48,800
Speaker 1: let the body heal up a few extra days because

1378
01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:51,360
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna be mashing on Monday night. So

1379
01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:55,680
Speaker 1: what do you do and with that extra time or

1380
01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:58,880
Speaker 1: you just feed up when you can and just you know,

1381
01:14:59,560 --> 01:15:01,840
Speaker 1: rest it up, and like what are some of the

1382
01:15:01,840 --> 01:15:05,280
Speaker 1: techniques you use, especially as a veteran player when you

1383
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:07,200
Speaker 1: have the extra time to get the body. I know

1384
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:09,840
Speaker 1: it's early in the season, this is week fifteen, but

1385
01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:12,240
Speaker 1: what are some of the techniques you kind of subscribe

1386
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:14,160
Speaker 1: to to kind of keep your body right when you

1387
01:15:14,280 --> 01:15:17,000
Speaker 1: when you're afforded extra time like this, What you really

1388
01:15:17,040 --> 01:15:18,680
Speaker 1: want to do is you just want to sit there right.

1389
01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:20,800
Speaker 1: You don't want to do anything. You just want to

1390
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:23,120
Speaker 1: relax the entire time. But of course, you know, they

1391
01:15:23,120 --> 01:15:24,599
Speaker 1: say it's better to kind of get up and move

1392
01:15:24,640 --> 01:15:26,599
Speaker 1: around with the blood around. Yeah, move the blood around

1393
01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:27,960
Speaker 1: a little bit, which you know is something that I

1394
01:15:28,080 --> 01:15:30,519
Speaker 1: definitely do. I always love to come in during one

1395
01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:32,519
Speaker 1: of those off days and get a little workout in

1396
01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:35,639
Speaker 1: uh you know, sweat. You know, it really does help

1397
01:15:35,720 --> 01:15:38,040
Speaker 1: help get rid of elastic acid, all types of things.

1398
01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:40,360
Speaker 1: And then you know, just going through my routine during

1399
01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:42,080
Speaker 1: the week, you know, I do a lot of hot

1400
01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:44,800
Speaker 1: tub of cold tubs and salt baths, use boots, all

1401
01:15:44,840 --> 01:15:47,679
Speaker 1: types of things. So that was some good, good amount

1402
01:15:47,720 --> 01:15:49,800
Speaker 1: of sleep, which I'm very thankful for the schedule that

1403
01:15:49,800 --> 01:15:52,040
Speaker 1: we have on this team. Um, you know, I might

1404
01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:54,679
Speaker 1: always able to get a good amount of sleep. So uh,

1405
01:15:54,960 --> 01:15:58,120
Speaker 1: those those all paid dividends throughout the season, and you know,

1406
01:15:58,160 --> 01:15:59,880
Speaker 1: if you don't take care of them now, then you know,

1407
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:04,120
Speaker 1: week six I mean broken down. What is there about

1408
01:16:04,160 --> 01:16:07,000
Speaker 1: if you've noticed anything? Certainly the Rams were different than Tennessee,

1409
01:16:07,080 --> 01:16:09,240
Speaker 1: and you know Tennessee's different than Buffalo. Rams are different

1410
01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:12,400
Speaker 1: th Buffalo. What about Buffalo's process here that gives you

1411
01:16:12,439 --> 01:16:14,479
Speaker 1: guys a chance? I mean, they've been really healthy and

1412
01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:17,280
Speaker 1: we we can only like guess and maybe the re

1413
01:16:17,439 --> 01:16:19,839
Speaker 1: end and there's no you know, maybe there's no difference.

1414
01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:22,960
Speaker 1: It's just dumb luck. Who knows, but they have stayed healthier.

1415
01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:24,680
Speaker 1: And what do you notice about their process that may

1416
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:27,240
Speaker 1: lead to that? You know, I mean we do. We

1417
01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:29,280
Speaker 1: worked tiously over here to try to make sure we

1418
01:16:29,320 --> 01:16:31,559
Speaker 1: take care of guy's bodies, which I know both other

1419
01:16:31,640 --> 01:16:34,080
Speaker 1: teams that I've played for try to do as well. Um,

1420
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:36,960
Speaker 1: you know, with the with the data that they pick up,

1421
01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:40,840
Speaker 1: they really use that guys having conversations with you know,

1422
01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:43,640
Speaker 1: the trainer, head coach and the strength coach, something that

1423
01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:45,600
Speaker 1: both all three of the teams that I played for have.

1424
01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:47,519
Speaker 1: But I think that just with this team, I think

1425
01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:51,200
Speaker 1: you know, the way that we practice, the schedules that

1426
01:16:51,200 --> 01:16:53,200
Speaker 1: we have, we come in just a little bit later.

1427
01:16:53,479 --> 01:16:55,240
Speaker 1: You know, that gives guys time to really get some

1428
01:16:55,320 --> 01:16:57,720
Speaker 1: good rest in. And then just the way that you know,

1429
01:16:57,800 --> 01:17:00,439
Speaker 1: everything is structured, from the workouts to just you know,

1430
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:02,640
Speaker 1: how much availability that we have in the training room,

1431
01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:05,320
Speaker 1: because training room is really state of the art. Um.

1432
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:08,400
Speaker 1: It really puts us in a great position. And plus,

1433
01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:10,400
Speaker 1: I mean we were just talking about it. You know,

1434
01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:12,960
Speaker 1: it's really hard to recover from that heat in Tennessee,

1435
01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:15,439
Speaker 1: you know sometimes, so it's like, you know, the recovery

1436
01:17:15,479 --> 01:17:17,879
Speaker 1: week after week can be a grind on you practicing

1437
01:17:17,960 --> 01:17:20,479
Speaker 1: in that humidity and heat weekend and week out. Yeah,

1438
01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:22,679
Speaker 1: it drains here for sure. You ready for that Monday

1439
01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:25,360
Speaker 1: night atmosphere. You've played here before, right, I have. I

1440
01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:28,240
Speaker 1: have played here before, and I've always seen uh, you know,

1441
01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:31,320
Speaker 1: a great a great crowd. And this is before, this

1442
01:17:31,439 --> 01:17:34,320
Speaker 1: is years before when I was still on the ram. So, um,

1443
01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:38,200
Speaker 1: I'm definitely excited to be on the good guy side

1444
01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:40,840
Speaker 1: of this one. Um, be on the good guy side

1445

Speaker 1: of this one. For for the first home game to

1446
01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:45,400
Speaker 1: be a Monday night football game. You know, the biggest

1447
01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:47,720
Speaker 1: thing for me, and I know with my line is like,

1448
01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:49,920
Speaker 1: all right, let's just keep our moses in check because

1449
01:17:49,960 --> 01:17:51,720
Speaker 1: you know they can run crazy and that's when you

1450
01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:53,920
Speaker 1: know the kind of mistakes kind of start. So we're

1451
01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 1: just gonna try to be not too high, not too low,

1452

1464
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:45,760
Speaker 1: with you post game or post practice podium sound is

1465
01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:48,800
Speaker 1: happening now, and not other than Josh Allen is there

1466
01:18:48,800 --> 01:18:53,920
Speaker 1: addressing the media. So let's go to Josh playing the

1467
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:56,000
Speaker 1: Monday it's kind of been a born in the side

1468
01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:58,800
Speaker 1: of you guys last couple of years. From your perspective,

1469
01:18:59,280 --> 01:19:01,479
Speaker 1: what do they mean it's difficult for you guys to

1470
01:19:01,520 --> 01:19:04,120
Speaker 1: do on offense? Yeah, I mean if you look at

1471
01:19:04,120 --> 01:19:06,960
Speaker 1: who they have on their roster, um, you know, they're

1472
01:19:06,960 --> 01:19:09,519
Speaker 1: as good as anybody in the league. And they're into

1473
01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:12,559
Speaker 1: your d line. Um. You know, with Simmons they got

1474
01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:15,000
Speaker 1: to free on the edge. You know, they started off

1475
01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:19,080
Speaker 1: really well. Their safeties move in unison, um, you know,

1476
01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:21,840
Speaker 1: one of the better safety duos in the league. Um,

1477
01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:23,920
Speaker 1: So they make it very difficult in their zone coverages

1478
01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:27,120
Speaker 1: and in terms of disguising, um and and just showing

1479
01:19:27,200 --> 01:19:30,640
Speaker 1: one hand and doing the other. So for us going out,

1480
01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:33,320
Speaker 1: they're executing me making my decision, being decisive with it

1481
01:19:33,320 --> 01:19:35,320
Speaker 1: and living with it. You know, going back and look

1482
01:19:35,320 --> 01:19:37,640
Speaker 1: at the film from last year, too many times just

1483
01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:40,439
Speaker 1: my eyes are in the wrong spots and um, you

1484
01:19:40,439 --> 01:19:42,679
Speaker 1: know I can I can help clean that up again

1485
01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:45,439
Speaker 1: just with eyes and ball placement, allowing our guys to

1486
01:19:45,479 --> 01:19:49,800
Speaker 1: catch and go. But again they're they're as tough as anybody. Um.

1487
01:19:49,840 --> 01:19:51,519
Speaker 1: They've given us problems, like you said, for the last

1488
01:19:51,560 --> 01:19:53,719
Speaker 1: couple of years and Um, we all know what happened

1489
01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:55,960
Speaker 1: last week, and they're they're going to be a motivated

1490
01:19:55,960 --> 01:19:58,479
Speaker 1: team coming into uh, you know, our stadium Monday nights.

1491
01:19:58,479 --> 01:20:01,600
Speaker 1: So we got to be ready for that obviously. But

1492
01:20:01,680 --> 01:20:04,200
Speaker 1: does that familiar already maybe helped you a little bit

1493
01:20:04,479 --> 01:20:07,600
Speaker 1: in preparation, I don't know. I mean, i'd say a

1494
01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:10,799
Speaker 1: little bit. But again, every Sunday is different, Every Monday

1495
01:20:10,840 --> 01:20:13,000
Speaker 1: is different. I know we're playing Monday night, but um,

1496
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:15,880
Speaker 1: every game, you know, has different situations in it, and

1497
01:20:15,880 --> 01:20:19,040
Speaker 1: you have to be prepared to make adjustments and uh

1498
01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:22,360
Speaker 1: and go with the flow. So, um, you know, on

1499
01:20:22,400 --> 01:20:24,479
Speaker 1: top of that, they've got one of the best coaches

1500
01:20:24,479 --> 01:20:27,160
Speaker 1: in the league, you know, invariable and uh he does

1501
01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:28,760
Speaker 1: a lot of good things. And again he's gonna have

1502
01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:32,360
Speaker 1: them extremely motivated here. So we've got to be ready

1503
01:20:32,360 --> 01:20:34,840
Speaker 1: for whatever punch they throw out our way, and um,

1504
01:20:34,880 --> 01:20:37,040
Speaker 1: you know, try to put our best ft forward. Watching

1505
01:20:37,080 --> 01:20:41,639
Speaker 1: the film last year wins or stop before we've got

1506
01:20:41,680 --> 01:20:47,400
Speaker 1: to that fourth down play, well fourth down play yeah yeah,

1507
01:20:47,479 --> 01:20:49,320
Speaker 1: yeah right, but you don't need to have to watch

1508
01:20:49,360 --> 01:20:52,920
Speaker 1: that one, you know. Um, you know, we had our opportunities. Again,

1509
01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:54,920
Speaker 1: that was last year and it's gonna be completely different

1510
01:20:54,960 --> 01:20:58,120
Speaker 1: this year. You know, who knows what happens um how

1511
01:20:58,160 --> 01:21:00,920
Speaker 1: we play, how they play. Ultimately we'll find out Monday night.

1512
01:21:01,800 --> 01:21:04,400
Speaker 1: But again we're we're doing everything we can to prepare

1513
01:21:05,240 --> 01:21:08,000
Speaker 1: for the best versions of themselves coming here Monday night.

1514
01:21:08,680 --> 01:21:10,439
Speaker 1: You know, we know what type of team and caliber

1515
01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:12,919
Speaker 1: team they are. You know, they've been in the playoffs

1516
01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:17,240
Speaker 1: for the last numerous years, and again they're extremely well coached.

1517
01:21:17,600 --> 01:21:19,880
Speaker 1: They got some some really really good players on that

1518
01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:21,720
Speaker 1: side of the ball. We know what they are on

1519
01:21:21,760 --> 01:21:24,479
Speaker 1: the offensive side. So points at a premium this week

1520
01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:31,760
Speaker 1: and yeah, basically to your fifth year lightly season, you

1521
01:21:31,880 --> 01:21:34,479
Speaker 1: see just about every defensive looking to possibly see you know,

1522
01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:36,879
Speaker 1: on this level. How has that make it more efficient

1523
01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:41,800
Speaker 1: than games? Again, I think just with repetition, understanding how

1524
01:21:41,880 --> 01:21:43,479
Speaker 1: teams are trying to play me and it seems like

1525
01:21:43,520 --> 01:21:45,920
Speaker 1: every week there's some sort of new wrinkle or new

1526
01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:49,080
Speaker 1: challenge that I'm seeing. So just being prepared and trusting

1527
01:21:49,120 --> 01:21:51,600
Speaker 1: the rules within our offense, trusting the ten guys on

1528
01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:53,760
Speaker 1: the field with me, and like I said, just being

1529
01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:56,639
Speaker 1: as decisive as possible. And I think at times last

1530
01:21:56,680 --> 01:22:00,320
Speaker 1: year wasn't quite that, you know, running out of a

1531
01:22:00,400 --> 01:22:03,040
Speaker 1: clean pocket, um, you know, trying to force a ball

1532
01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:06,680
Speaker 1: somewhere where it shouldn't be. So again, just being on

1533
01:22:06,760 --> 01:22:09,840
Speaker 1: time with my footwork, UM, ball placement again where it

1534
01:22:09,880 --> 01:22:12,639
Speaker 1: needs to be, um, and just being decisive with the football.

1535
01:22:13,160 --> 01:22:15,519
Speaker 1: The Titans are a well coached team. Like what does

1536
01:22:15,560 --> 01:22:16,880
Speaker 1: that mean to you? Like when you see a team

1537
01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:19,760
Speaker 1: on TV go, you know, what does that mean? Well,

1538
01:22:19,840 --> 01:22:23,439
Speaker 1: I mean they're very disciplined. Um. You know on defense

1539
01:22:23,479 --> 01:22:26,160
Speaker 1: they do they do so many different things and throw

1540
01:22:26,200 --> 01:22:29,960
Speaker 1: so many different looks at you. You know, and they're

1541
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:32,120
Speaker 1: not bringing five a lot, they're bringing four, but they're

1542
01:22:32,160 --> 01:22:34,960
Speaker 1: dropping an end. They're playing some change pressure behind it,

1543
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:39,360
Speaker 1: so it messes with your rules in terms of blocking scheme, UM,

1544
01:22:39,400 --> 01:22:42,679
Speaker 1: getting guys one on one, getting guys free. So again,

1545
01:22:42,800 --> 01:22:47,400
Speaker 1: just being you know, very detailed in film work, understanding

1546
01:22:47,439 --> 01:22:49,920
Speaker 1: what they can and can't do, um, you know, within

1547
01:22:49,960 --> 01:22:53,720
Speaker 1: certain looks. Um. But again, guys that are just that

1548
01:22:53,840 --> 01:22:56,599
Speaker 1: they're taught the right things in football, they're and they're

1549
01:22:57,000 --> 01:22:59,360
Speaker 1: coach Coach Babel can motivate those guys to you know,

1550
01:22:59,439 --> 01:23:02,360
Speaker 1: really play at a higher level. So UM, and I'm

1551
01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:04,519
Speaker 1: assuming that's what it's gonna be Monday, night. Again, it's

1552
01:23:04,600 --> 01:23:07,439
Speaker 1: Monday night and coming off, UM, you know a game

1553
01:23:07,479 --> 01:23:10,360
Speaker 1: that they just had, they're gonna be there we ticked off.

1554
01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:14,479
Speaker 1: Did you watch that live either? Just see what they

1555
01:23:14,520 --> 01:23:17,800
Speaker 1: were doing on the flu side to see what is doing. Yeah,

1556
01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:20,320
Speaker 1: I did get to watch a little bit of it. Um,

1557
01:23:20,400 --> 01:23:22,080
Speaker 1: it was on red Zone. I had red Zone on,

1558
01:23:22,160 --> 01:23:25,720
Speaker 1: so it really wasn't on the national broadcast. But just

1559
01:23:25,760 --> 01:23:27,639
Speaker 1: every highlight that I can watch, iouly I has fallen

1560
01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:29,880
Speaker 1: along with my phone as well. Just trying to again,

1561
01:23:29,920 --> 01:23:32,320
Speaker 1: I'm I'm rooting Dave's on. Um. I love that guy,

1562
01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:34,960
Speaker 1: so I'm very happy for him to get his first win.

1563
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:37,400
Speaker 1: The way they did it was was awesome and shows

1564
01:23:37,439 --> 01:23:39,880
Speaker 1: you know who coach Dable is. Um. So that was

1565
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:42,320
Speaker 1: that was pretty fun. Um. But I wish I could

1566
01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:44,479
Speaker 1: have saw it completely live. But we have the all

1567
01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:47,880
Speaker 1: twenty two that we've been watching and again they but again,

1568
01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:51,000
Speaker 1: this this defense presents um a lot of different challenges

1569
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:55,840
Speaker 1: that we got to be ready for. Yeah, O give

1570
01:23:55,920 --> 01:23:58,599
Speaker 1: it the report. You've developed the fun right almost from

1571
01:23:58,640 --> 01:24:01,360
Speaker 1: the beginning, or we see even more layers to it,

1572
01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:06,799
Speaker 1: you know, after the way you guys connected on Firsday night, Um,

1573
01:24:06,840 --> 01:24:09,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I definitely think we're we're still working on things.

1574
01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:12,920
Speaker 1: We're still um, I can say, you can you can

1575
01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:16,280
Speaker 1: say we're still developing UM just in terms of body language,

1576
01:24:16,280 --> 01:24:19,880
Speaker 1: ball placement, knowing where he wants the ball, him knowing

1577
01:24:19,920 --> 01:24:23,040
Speaker 1: where I want to throw the ball, um. You know.

1578
01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:26,240
Speaker 1: So I think really just comes down to body language.

1579
01:24:26,280 --> 01:24:28,000
Speaker 1: You know, the best receivers in the league give great

1580
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:31,519
Speaker 1: body they language, they give great eyes. And Steph, what

1581
01:24:31,600 --> 01:24:34,360
Speaker 1: Steph does? You know, I think better than anybody in

1582
01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:37,160
Speaker 1: the league his hands. You know, how how late he

1583
01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:40,040
Speaker 1: can keep his hands, like in a full sprint, look back,

1584
01:24:40,120 --> 01:24:42,200
Speaker 1: see the ball coming in and you know, extend his

1585
01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:45,000
Speaker 1: arms as late as possible, whether it's in front of him,

1586
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:48,920
Speaker 1: back shoulder ballum. You know, he's he's a master at

1587
01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:51,519
Speaker 1: his craft. And you know, I'm very fortunate that I

1588
01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:53,200
Speaker 1: get to play with a guy with his caliber because

1589
01:24:53,240 --> 01:24:55,840
Speaker 1: he's making everybody on our team better. You know, you

1590
01:24:55,880 --> 01:24:59,880
Speaker 1: see him on the sidelines being very vocal um, you know,

1591
01:25:00,160 --> 01:25:02,600
Speaker 1: and excited. So he brings a lot of juice to

1592
01:25:02,600 --> 01:25:05,479
Speaker 1: our football team. A lot about your kind of news,

1593
01:25:05,479 --> 01:25:07,800
Speaker 1: A relationship with Ken Dorsey and him being up in

1594
01:25:07,800 --> 01:25:10,680
Speaker 1: a movie. What's though, with Joe Brady having a new

1595
01:25:10,720 --> 01:25:13,880
Speaker 1: person match which sitting next to you Donald on the side. Yeah,

1596
01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:16,479
Speaker 1: Jabe has been great, um in meetings, you know, showing

1597
01:25:16,560 --> 01:25:20,120
Speaker 1: us what we need to see, UM, talking through different concepts,

1598
01:25:20,160 --> 01:25:23,120
Speaker 1: different reads. Um. You know, he's he's got a lot

1599
01:25:23,120 --> 01:25:26,200
Speaker 1: of experience and a lot of uh, you know, well

1600
01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:28,320
Speaker 1: known places, whether it be college or NFL. He's been

1601
01:25:28,320 --> 01:25:30,960
Speaker 1: with a lot of different quarterbacks. So the knowledge that

1602
01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:34,360
Speaker 1: he has, it's very valuable and for him to, like

1603
01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:36,679
Speaker 1: I said, be here, I'm very fortunate to have him here,

1604
01:25:37,120 --> 01:25:39,080
Speaker 1: you know, guy with his talent and his caliber of

1605
01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:43,719
Speaker 1: you know mind. Not too often, you know do quarterbacks

1606
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:46,240
Speaker 1: get to a step in from one great quarterback coach

1607
01:25:46,280 --> 01:25:48,160
Speaker 1: to another that's been an OC in this league that

1608
01:25:48,160 --> 01:25:50,960
Speaker 1: knows what he's talking about. Um, you know, and he's

1609
01:25:50,960 --> 01:25:53,200
Speaker 1: still very young. He's still learning things too. And we've

1610
01:25:53,240 --> 01:25:55,639
Speaker 1: been able to feed off each other and it's been uh,

1611
01:25:55,680 --> 01:25:57,720
Speaker 1: you know, great rapport so far, and I'm looking forward

1612
01:25:57,720 --> 01:26:02,640
Speaker 1: to how that relationship develops. Flow of information going to

1613
01:26:02,760 --> 01:26:06,920
Speaker 1: go from you to Brady to can No, it's me

1614
01:26:07,080 --> 01:26:09,439
Speaker 1: talking to Joe and Joe you know, talking to Dave's

1615
01:26:09,439 --> 01:26:13,400
Speaker 1: and and vice versa. Um, and unless you know Dors

1616
01:26:13,439 --> 01:26:15,360
Speaker 1: wants to talk to me on the phone, which didn't

1617
01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:18,439
Speaker 1: happen this last game. Um, but you know, Joe's doing

1618
01:26:18,560 --> 01:26:21,040
Speaker 1: a great job of relaying information, sitting us down, going

1619
01:26:21,040 --> 01:26:24,920
Speaker 1: through um, you know, tablets together and trying to decipher

1620
01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:30,200
Speaker 1: a plan. We're decisive with the ball. That reflected in

1621
01:26:30,240 --> 01:26:32,960
Speaker 1: your completion FORCI the last week. That that decisiveness and

1622
01:26:33,040 --> 01:26:36,800
Speaker 1: you're shooting for Yeah, I definitely think you can say that. Um,

1623
01:26:36,840 --> 01:26:39,479
Speaker 1: just in terms of being quick. You know, we know

1624
01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:43,759
Speaker 1: what type of front the Rams had so um early

1625
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:45,479
Speaker 1: early on, just trying to get the ball out of

1626
01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:48,320
Speaker 1: my hands, allow our guys to make some plays and um,

1627
01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:50,240
Speaker 1: you know, find a way to take some shots later

1628
01:26:50,280 --> 01:26:52,200
Speaker 1: in the game. That's really all it was. And Coach

1629
01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:54,080
Speaker 1: Dorsey kept calling them. I just kept firing them and

1630
01:26:54,080 --> 01:26:56,559
Speaker 1: our guys kept catching them. So that's really all it was,

1631
01:26:56,640 --> 01:26:59,320
Speaker 1: just being smart with football, um. And you saw what

1632
01:26:59,360 --> 01:27:01,519
Speaker 1: our guys can do after the catch. It was it

1633
01:27:01,560 --> 01:27:04,680
Speaker 1: was fun to watch level of patients to build that

1634
01:27:04,760 --> 01:27:07,200
Speaker 1: to say, trying to take these quick throws, these quick hitters,

1635
01:27:07,200 --> 01:27:09,320
Speaker 1: and it's going to turn into some of the row later. Yeah.

1636
01:27:09,360 --> 01:27:10,920
Speaker 1: I mean I think that's you know, the essence of

1637
01:27:10,920 --> 01:27:14,840
Speaker 1: football and what everybody tries to do. Um. You know,

1638
01:27:14,880 --> 01:27:16,519
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of defenses will say we're

1639
01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:19,280
Speaker 1: gonna keep doing this and until he gets picky and

1640
01:27:19,439 --> 01:27:21,760
Speaker 1: and greedy and wants they're throwing over the middle or

1641
01:27:21,760 --> 01:27:25,919
Speaker 1: something like that. Um, So have that wherewithal and understanding

1642
01:27:25,920 --> 01:27:27,479
Speaker 1: of like, I'm just gonna keep taking the sun and

1643
01:27:27,560 --> 01:27:30,519
Speaker 1: ee stuff and being okay with whatever the stat line

1644
01:27:30,560 --> 01:27:32,600
Speaker 1: is at the end of the game. Um, you know,

1645
01:27:32,680 --> 01:27:34,680
Speaker 1: ultimately is as long as it ends in a in

1646
01:27:34,720 --> 01:27:38,080
Speaker 1: a W That's that's all I care about, all right.

1647
01:27:38,120 --> 01:27:42,360
Speaker 1: So that's Josh Allen addressing the media here after practice

1648
01:27:42,439 --> 01:27:46,639
Speaker 1: today and had some interesting things to say about how

1649
01:27:46,760 --> 01:27:51,240
Speaker 1: much Tennessee disguises coverage. They forced you to change your

1650
01:27:51,240 --> 01:27:56,160
Speaker 1: typical rules because post snap, as the quarterback is surveying

1651
01:27:56,200 --> 01:27:59,200
Speaker 1: the defense, you may have safety spin in the dial,

1652
01:27:59,439 --> 01:28:06,320
Speaker 1: rotate whatever, and they tilt the field one way or

1653
01:28:06,360 --> 01:28:09,360
Speaker 1: the other where there might be what looks like an

1654
01:28:09,360 --> 01:28:11,760
Speaker 1: overload that would tell Josh to go somewhere else with

1655
01:28:11,760 --> 01:28:15,479
Speaker 1: the football, and then they'll it's a disguise. So a

1656
01:28:15,479 --> 01:28:17,360
Speaker 1: lot of their late disguise. He has a lot of

1657
01:28:17,360 --> 01:28:20,879
Speaker 1: respect for those two safeties, including the veteran Kevin Bayard,

1658
01:28:20,880 --> 01:28:23,360
Speaker 1: who seems to be among the league leaders and interceptions

1659
01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:26,400
Speaker 1: almost every single season because he is so crafty at

1660
01:28:26,439 --> 01:28:29,519
Speaker 1: disguising the looks that he sees this as a real

1661
01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:33,400
Speaker 1: challenge for him, and he's thrown some picks against the

1662
01:28:33,400 --> 01:28:36,519
Speaker 1: Titans the last two times they've played well. It's as

1663
01:28:36,600 --> 01:28:39,360
Speaker 1: much of a problem with poyern Hyde or so are

1664
01:28:39,640 --> 01:28:43,479
Speaker 1: the Tennessee safeties, and their head coach is a defensive

1665
01:28:43,479 --> 01:28:45,960
Speaker 1: guy as well. They take great pride in it. It's

1666
01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:48,120
Speaker 1: this it'd be a tough game. Tennessee was the one

1667
01:28:48,160 --> 01:28:50,240
Speaker 1: seed last year. It wasn't because of Derrick Henry. He

1668
01:28:50,280 --> 01:28:53,200
Speaker 1: was out for a games, nine games. They're really good

1669
01:28:53,479 --> 01:28:56,280
Speaker 1: now they're a different roster, but they've got a program

1670
01:28:56,280 --> 01:28:58,479
Speaker 1: going on. I am the more you know you can

1671
01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:00,960
Speaker 1: talk to yourself in anything. I have hard time talking

1672
01:29:00,960 --> 01:29:04,320
Speaker 1: myself into a Tennessee blowout win. But I can certainly

1673
01:29:04,320 --> 01:29:07,640
Speaker 1: see a Tennessee close win a Buffalo close win, and

1674
01:29:07,680 --> 01:29:10,479
Speaker 1: I can kind of touch myself into a Tennis and

1675
01:29:10,479 --> 01:29:13,880
Speaker 1: a Buffalo blowout. But that's hard. Yeah, I think this

1676
01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:15,599
Speaker 1: is gonna be a tight game, and it's gonna be

1677
01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:17,320
Speaker 1: there's gonna be times later in this game where could

1678
01:29:17,360 --> 01:29:21,160
Speaker 1: go either way. We've got the top market ratings for

1679
01:29:21,240 --> 01:29:25,560
Speaker 1: Bill's Rams kickoff game. Not surprisingly, Bill's number one television

1680
01:29:25,600 --> 01:29:29,760
Speaker 1: market a forty five rating, a seventy six share, which

1681
01:29:29,760 --> 01:29:32,639
Speaker 1: means seventy six percent of the TV's on and Buffalo

1682
01:29:33,120 --> 01:29:35,880
Speaker 1: we're tuned to the game. We'll see you tomorrow. One

1683
01:29:36,120 --> 01:29:38,080
Speaker 1: more Bills practice updates right here.
