Speaker 1: Gonna bring it up the real quick. I promise were
Speaker 1: real quick here. Hey, that's the way to fighting now,
Speaker 1: way to fighting out, hey, type margins. We talked about
Speaker 1: it during the week at halftime. Man, we made a
Speaker 1: justice coaching stands. A great job players, great job. Man.
Speaker 1: We're gonna work together, all right. A lot to learn
Speaker 1: from the two right. We every week, every week getting better.
Speaker 1: That's the mindset. Now. We're comfortable when it's tight, though
Speaker 1: I know that it's us us only we STACKI we stacked.
Speaker 1: Come on well, finding the way, finding the way every week.
Speaker 1: Camo Buffalo Bill, no overthinking, right, go play the ball.
Speaker 1: We'll play the football. An exciting time to be a
Speaker 1: Buffalo build in the same of the Buffalo builds. Welcome
Speaker 1: into Week nine of the Sean McDermott Show, presented by
Speaker 1: Connors and Ferris, your workers' comp attorneys. I'm Steve Tasker
Speaker 1: and as always I'm pleased to be joined by Sean McDermott, coach.
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for being here with us. Hey, you
Speaker 1: kept your perfect record off the bye week intact over
Speaker 1: the Miami you completed the season sweep of him. I'm
Speaker 1: glad I didn't jink you by bringing it up last week.
Speaker 1: Did you notice any change in your team coming off
Speaker 1: to buy Well, I don't know. You know, listen, Steve,
Speaker 1: I was thinking about you at halftime when it was
Speaker 1: three to three, because I know you did bring it
Speaker 1: up last week, and so I kind of just thought,
Speaker 1: if tasker Jinks does, I'm not gonna be happy. And anyway,
Speaker 1: we were able to pull one out, even though you
Speaker 1: did try and jinks us last week. But the guys
Speaker 1: coming off the by they were arrested. You know, we
Speaker 1: didn't play great in the first half and I didn't
Speaker 1: coach great, and so the second half I thought the
Speaker 1: players came out and executed at a high level. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you actually mentioned they got off to a slow start,
Speaker 1: but you caught fire in the second half. You had
Speaker 1: back to back touchdown drives of eighty and sixty nine yards,
Speaker 1: Miami got to score, got it to within six points,
Speaker 1: and then you responded with another fourteen play drive took
Speaker 1: six minutes off the clock, game clenching field field goal.
Speaker 1: Did you say anything at halftime to your team? What
Speaker 1: was your message that came out? He made some adjustments.
Speaker 1: I mean what it was alike at halftime, because it
Speaker 1: really was the tale of two halves in this game.
Speaker 1: I think its a combination of There was some intense
Speaker 1: conversations that I'll just call them at halftime, but more
Speaker 1: than anything, it was adjustments being made through communication from
Speaker 1: the staff to the players and again, and give the
Speaker 1: staff and players credit, they executed at a high level.
Speaker 1: And you know, when you're in those situations, I think
Speaker 1: sometimes it gets emotional, but at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: it's important that com breeds com and that you can
Speaker 1: make smart tactical adjustments in those situations. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: Josh had a really nice performance. He led the team
Speaker 1: in rushing yards, he had a rushing touchdown, and he
Speaker 1: threw for two forty nine and through for two touchdowns.
Speaker 1: He had a quarterback rating of over one hundred for
Speaker 1: the fifth consecutive game. It's the longest streak of that
Speaker 1: nature Enfranchise history. What is your I know Josh is
Speaker 1: put in the work, but what has your staff done
Speaker 1: to help him be so consistent of late? Well, he's
Speaker 1: got a great relationship ay with the other quarterbacks in
Speaker 1: our room that helped him prepare each week and then
Speaker 1: be the work he puts in. With Ken Dorsey and
Speaker 1: the preparation that Ken puts into into that room every week,
Speaker 1: and then Brian Davil does a great job calling the
Speaker 1: plays and dial them up. And you know, give Brian credit.
Speaker 1: We weren't finding a rhythm in the first half. You
Speaker 1: come out in the second half spend the dial even
Speaker 1: more to try and find that sweet spot, and Dave's
Speaker 1: dialed it up and got us into some things that
Speaker 1: got us into a rhythm and got Josh very comfortable. Yeah.
Speaker 1: On the other side of the ball, you guys held
Speaker 1: the Dolphins just two hundred and sixty two yards a
Speaker 1: total offense only ninety five yards in the second half.
Speaker 1: Your defense only got one sacked, but they forced two turnovers.
Speaker 1: Your defense was really successful in what seemed like a
Speaker 1: different formula than the first time you faced the Dolphins.
Speaker 1: Is that true A little bit, right? I mean, we
Speaker 1: just played them five Sequisco whatever it was, so we
Speaker 1: wanted to again change a little bit and evolve, and
Speaker 1: it looks like they did. I thought they came in
Speaker 1: in the first half with a good game plan and
Speaker 1: then we had to try and continue to play the
Speaker 1: chess match with them and change a little bit as well.
Speaker 1: So I think our players did a great job, Leslie Fraser.
Speaker 1: The defensive staff adjusted through the game again, and that's
Speaker 1: key to every game, not just this past game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer came up with his third interception of the season.
Speaker 1: He kind of sealed the game. And also Micah Hyde
Speaker 1: had a huge fumble recovery right before the half. Seems
Speaker 1: like every week these two guys forced to turnover or
Speaker 1: grab a fumble, do something. They always limit the big plays.
Speaker 1: What is it about these two and we can all
Speaker 1: see the production, but what is it behind the scenes
Speaker 1: that makes these two guys different than every other safety
Speaker 1: tandem in the league? Well, I you know, I really
Speaker 1: can't speak for the other safeties in the league, but
Speaker 1: what I can speak on is the process that Jordan
Speaker 1: and Michael use every week to prepare themselves to have
Speaker 1: that type of success. I mean, you should see their
Speaker 1: preparation Monday through Saturday, all the way up until game
Speaker 1: time when they're in the locker room before the game.
Speaker 1: They're always preparing themselves, preparing their bodies to play at
Speaker 1: a high level. And you've seen that over the first
Speaker 1: seven weeks of the seasons. At this point, you know,
Speaker 1: like you and I have talked about a lot in general,
Speaker 1: good defensive performance like offensive performance, but in this case,
Speaker 1: defensive performance seemed to start upfront. For you, guys like
Speaker 1: ed Oliver had a great game. He's only got credit
Speaker 1: for two tackles, including one for a loss. You got
Speaker 1: Matt Milan who had a huge hit when the game
Speaker 1: was tied in the third quarter. What do you say
Speaker 1: about your front seven in this defense and the way
Speaker 1: they played against the Fins. Yeah, that's really where it starts.
Speaker 1: It starts up front, both sides of the ball. What
Speaker 1: ed Oliver was able to do probably his best game
Speaker 1: as a pro, even though statistically you look at the
Speaker 1: stats sheet and you're going, well at just two tackles
Speaker 1: where he really didn't do much, But man, did he
Speaker 1: factor into the game. I like where how his game
Speaker 1: is evolving, and it's again credit to his preparation, the
Speaker 1: work he's put in with our defensive line coaches, and
Speaker 1: then the front seven is over all, the better they play,
Speaker 1: the better we play as a defense. Yeah all right,
Speaker 1: thanks coach. We're gonna catch up with you later in
Speaker 1: the show to get your final thoughts on the matchup
Speaker 1: with Jacksonville. We'll see it a little bit later in
Speaker 1: the show. The game plan is presented by Energy Marketing,
Speaker 1: the official energy supplier to the Buffalo Bills. Game preview
Speaker 1: is presented by independent ELM. You deserve the red shirt treatment,
Speaker 1: Matti glab here with this week's game preview. The five
Speaker 1: and two Buffalo Bills are heading to Jacksonville to take
Speaker 1: on the one and six Jaguars. Jacksonville rookie quarterback Trevor
Speaker 1: Lawrence is still trying to get comfortable in the NFL
Speaker 1: as its team is averaging seventeen point six points per game,
Speaker 1: which ranks near the bottom of the NFL. They're passing
Speaker 1: in rushing offense rank in the middle of the pack,
Speaker 1: and when they get in the red zone, they score
Speaker 1: sixty four point seven percent of the time, good for twelve.
Speaker 1: James Robinson is their leading rusher, totaling four hundred and
Speaker 1: eighty two rushing yards through seven games. Robinson is also
Speaker 1: averaging five and a half yards per rush, which is
Speaker 1: fourth most amongst running backs. The Jaguars defense also ranks
Speaker 1: near the bottom, allowing twenty nine points per game. They're
Speaker 1: the worst in the NFL when it comes to takeaways,
Speaker 1: with only two so far this season. The Bill's defense
Speaker 1: on the other hand, has done the opposite. They're allowing
Speaker 1: a league glow sixty one point four passer rating to
Speaker 1: opposing quarterbacks. They're also the best defense in the NFL,
Speaker 1: allowing just fifteen point six points per game and two
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty nine total yards per game. Buffalo scoring
Speaker 1: offense is also the best in the NFL, averaging thirty
Speaker 1: two point seven points per game. They have a plus
Speaker 1: thirteen turnover differential, and their offensive line has allowed only
Speaker 1: eight sacks on Josh Allen, the least in the NFL.
Speaker 1: Allen has the third most touchdown so far this season
Speaker 1: with twenty and is one hundred and twelve career total touchdowns,
Speaker 1: and his first fifty starts are tied for third most
Speaker 1: ever by a quarterback in that span. Buffalo the series
Speaker 1: against Jacksonville with nine wins and eight losses. That's this
Speaker 1: week's game. Previume Steve back to you. Thanks, Maddie. Coach.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be facing a rookie head coach and a
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback in Jacksonville on Sunday. Tell me what's more
Speaker 1: challenging for you as a coach in your staff? Is
Speaker 1: it facing a quarterback you've never faced, or a head
Speaker 1: coach you've never faced. Probably a little bit of both. Finestly,
Speaker 1: I don't know that he's that Urban Meyers a rookie
Speaker 1: head coach. I wouldn't say that, but he definitely has
Speaker 1: a rookie head coach in the NFL. But he's won
Speaker 1: a ton of games. He knows how to win. He's
Speaker 1: obviously been successful at the college level for a long
Speaker 1: time and that's why he's gotten the opportunity he has
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. And same could be said with Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 1: Well decorated, highly decorated player in college, and like most
Speaker 1: rookie quarterbacks, there's gonna be ups and downs, and so
Speaker 1: you know we'll be challenged this week in Jacksonville, but
Speaker 1: I know we'll be up for the challenge. Yeah, let's
Speaker 1: talk about Trevor Lawrence for a minute. He was the
Speaker 1: unanimous number one prospect in the draft when the Jacksonville
Speaker 1: Jaguars took him first. Overall, he's got he's big, he
Speaker 1: plays from the pocket, he moves pretty well. Is there
Speaker 1: any other quarterback that you've seen, pasted or present that
Speaker 1: you kind of compare his skill set to the way
Speaker 1: he looks the way he throws the football. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just think overall, man, he looks
Speaker 1: like he's got all the tools that you need to
Speaker 1: be successful in this league at a high level and
Speaker 1: in a short amount of time. I mean you look
Speaker 1: at the size of strength and mobility, and then his
Speaker 1: release and accuracy for a young quarterback. Very impressive to
Speaker 1: this point. All right, thanks coach, good luck on Sunday.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be back next week to recap your game
Speaker 1: against Jacksonville and preview your Week ten matchup against the
Speaker 1: New York Jets. And to everybody at home, thanks for watching.
