<v Speaker 1>Connors and Ferris, your workers' comp attorneys. I'm Steve Tasker

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:08.759
<v Speaker 1>and as always I'm pleased to be joined by Sean McDermott, coach.

0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Thanks so much for being here with us. Hey, you

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 1>kept your perfect record off the bye week intact over

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.800
<v Speaker 1>the Miami you completed the season sweep of him. I'm

0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 1>glad I didn't jink you by bringing it up last week.

0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Did you notice any change in your team coming off

0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:26.040
<v Speaker 1>to buy Well, I don't know. You know, listen, Steve,

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking about you at halftime when it was

0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:29.760
<v Speaker 1>three to three, because I know you did bring it

0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:32.919
<v Speaker 1>up last week, and so I kind of just thought,

0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:37.200
<v Speaker 1>if tasker Jinks does, I'm not gonna be happy. And anyway,

0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 1>we were able to pull one out, even though you

0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.320
<v Speaker 1>did try and jinks us last week. But the guys

0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:43.120
<v Speaker 1>coming off the by they were arrested. You know, we

0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 1>didn't play great in the first half and I didn't

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:47.480
<v Speaker 1>coach great, and so the second half I thought the

0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 1>players came out and executed at a high level. Yeah,

0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 1>you actually mentioned they got off to a slow start,

0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.040
<v Speaker 1>but you caught fire in the second half. You had

0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:57.000
<v Speaker 1>back to back touchdown drives of eighty and sixty nine yards,

0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 1>Miami got to score, got it to within six points,

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:02.120
<v Speaker 1>and then you responded with another fourteen play drive took

0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 1>six minutes off the clock, game clenching field field goal.

0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:09.280
<v Speaker 1>Did you say anything at halftime to your team? What

0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:12.240
<v Speaker 1>was your message that came out? He made some adjustments.

0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:14.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean what it was alike at halftime, because it

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:16.840
<v Speaker 1>really was the tale of two halves in this game.

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:20.960
<v Speaker 1>I think its a combination of There was some intense

0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:26.240
<v Speaker 1>conversations that I'll just call them at halftime, but more

0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 1>than anything, it was adjustments being made through communication from

0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:33.000
<v Speaker 1>the staff to the players and again, and give the

0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:35.280
<v Speaker 1>staff and players credit, they executed at a high level.

0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:37.480
<v Speaker 1>And you know, when you're in those situations, I think

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:39.720
<v Speaker 1>sometimes it gets emotional, but at the end of the day,

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.079
<v Speaker 1>it's important that com breeds com and that you can

0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:46.040
<v Speaker 1>make smart tactical adjustments in those situations. Yeah, you know,

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:48.320
<v Speaker 1>Josh had a really nice performance. He led the team

0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:50.400
<v Speaker 1>in rushing yards, he had a rushing touchdown, and he

0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.959
<v Speaker 1>threw for two forty nine and through for two touchdowns.

0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:55.320
<v Speaker 1>He had a quarterback rating of over one hundred for

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 1>the fifth consecutive game. It's the longest streak of that

0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:01.720
<v Speaker 1>nature Enfranchise history. What is your I know Josh is

0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:04.200
<v Speaker 1>put in the work, but what has your staff done

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:07.640
<v Speaker 1>to help him be so consistent of late? Well, he's

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:11.040
<v Speaker 1>got a great relationship ay with the other quarterbacks in

0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.520
<v Speaker 1>our room that helped him prepare each week and then

0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.639
<v Speaker 1>be the work he puts in. With Ken Dorsey and

0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:20.760
<v Speaker 1>the preparation that Ken puts into into that room every week,

0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:23.040
<v Speaker 1>and then Brian Davil does a great job calling the

0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:25.639
<v Speaker 1>plays and dial them up. And you know, give Brian credit.

0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:27.520
<v Speaker 1>We weren't finding a rhythm in the first half. You

0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:29.520
<v Speaker 1>come out in the second half spend the dial even

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.840
<v Speaker 1>more to try and find that sweet spot, and Dave's

0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 1>dialed it up and got us into some things that

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.640
<v Speaker 1>got us into a rhythm and got Josh very comfortable. Yeah.

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 1>On the other side of the ball, you guys held

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 1>the Dolphins just two hundred and sixty two yards a

0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:45.400
<v Speaker 1>total offense only ninety five yards in the second half.

0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:48.760
<v Speaker 1>Your defense only got one sacked, but they forced two turnovers.

0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Your defense was really successful in what seemed like a

0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 1>different formula than the first time you faced the Dolphins.

0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Is that true A little bit, right? I mean, we

0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:00.880
<v Speaker 1>just played them five Sequisco whatever it was, so we

0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:04.120
<v Speaker 1>wanted to again change a little bit and evolve, and

0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 1>it looks like they did. I thought they came in

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:07.520
<v Speaker 1>in the first half with a good game plan and

0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:11.040
<v Speaker 1>then we had to try and continue to play the

0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 1>chess match with them and change a little bit as well.

0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:15.800
<v Speaker 1>So I think our players did a great job, Leslie Fraser.

0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:19.279
<v Speaker 1>The defensive staff adjusted through the game again, and that's

0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:22.480
<v Speaker 1>key to every game, not just this past game. Yeah,

0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.159
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Poyer came up with his third interception of the season.

0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:28.719
<v Speaker 1>He kind of sealed the game. And also Micah Hyde

0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.039
<v Speaker 1>had a huge fumble recovery right before the half. Seems

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.000
<v Speaker 1>like every week these two guys forced to turnover or

0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:37.240
<v Speaker 1>grab a fumble, do something. They always limit the big plays.

0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:40.040
<v Speaker 1>What is it about these two and we can all

0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:42.440
<v Speaker 1>see the production, but what is it behind the scenes

0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:45.560
<v Speaker 1>that makes these two guys different than every other safety

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 1>tandem in the league? Well, I you know, I really

0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:50.080
<v Speaker 1>can't speak for the other safeties in the league, but

0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:53.400
<v Speaker 1>what I can speak on is the process that Jordan

0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:55.960
<v Speaker 1>and Michael use every week to prepare themselves to have

0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:58.039
<v Speaker 1>that type of success. I mean, you should see their

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:01.800
<v Speaker 1>preparation Monday through Saturday, all the way up until game

0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:03.440
<v Speaker 1>time when they're in the locker room before the game.

0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:07.680
<v Speaker 1>They're always preparing themselves, preparing their bodies to play at

0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:09.840
<v Speaker 1>a high level. And you've seen that over the first

0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:12.720
<v Speaker 1>seven weeks of the seasons. At this point, you know,

0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:14.719
<v Speaker 1>like you and I have talked about a lot in general,

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 1>good defensive performance like offensive performance, but in this case,

0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:21.920
<v Speaker 1>defensive performance seemed to start upfront. For you, guys like

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:24.440
<v Speaker 1>ed Oliver had a great game. He's only got credit

0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:27.200
<v Speaker 1>for two tackles, including one for a loss. You got

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Matt Milan who had a huge hit when the game

0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:31.640
<v Speaker 1>was tied in the third quarter. What do you say

0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:33.920
<v Speaker 1>about your front seven in this defense and the way

0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.560
<v Speaker 1>they played against the Fins. Yeah, that's really where it starts.

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 1>It starts up front, both sides of the ball. What

0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:41.320
<v Speaker 1>ed Oliver was able to do probably his best game

0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:44.200
<v Speaker 1>as a pro, even though statistically you look at the

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.160
<v Speaker 1>stats sheet and you're going, well at just two tackles

0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:48.320
<v Speaker 1>where he really didn't do much, But man, did he

0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 1>factor into the game. I like where how his game

0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:53.800
<v Speaker 1>is evolving, and it's again credit to his preparation, the

0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:56.520
<v Speaker 1>work he's put in with our defensive line coaches, and

0:05:57.760 --> 0:05:59.960
<v Speaker 1>then the front seven is over all, the better they play,

0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:02.760
<v Speaker 1>the better we play as a defense. Yeah all right,

0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 1>thanks coach. We're gonna catch up with you later in

0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:06.400
<v Speaker 1>the show to get your final thoughts on the matchup

0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:08.800
<v Speaker 1>with Jacksonville. We'll see it a little bit later in

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:13.560
<v Speaker 1>the show. The game plan is presented by Energy Marketing,

0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:19.560
<v Speaker 1>the official energy supplier to the Buffalo Bills. Game preview

0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:24.640
<v Speaker 1>is presented by independent ELM. You deserve the red shirt treatment,

0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Matti glab here with this week's game preview. The five

0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:31.400
<v Speaker 1>and two Buffalo Bills are heading to Jacksonville to take

0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:35.360
<v Speaker 1>on the one and six Jaguars. Jacksonville rookie quarterback Trevor

0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Lawrence is still trying to get comfortable in the NFL

0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:41.840
<v Speaker 1>as its team is averaging seventeen point six points per game,

0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:44.920
<v Speaker 1>which ranks near the bottom of the NFL. They're passing

0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.119
<v Speaker 1>in rushing offense rank in the middle of the pack,

0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.320
<v Speaker 1>and when they get in the red zone, they score

0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:52.880
<v Speaker 1>sixty four point seven percent of the time, good for twelve.

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.719
<v Speaker 1>James Robinson is their leading rusher, totaling four hundred and

0:06:56.800 --> 0:07:00.440
<v Speaker 1>eighty two rushing yards through seven games. Robinson is also

0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:03.440
<v Speaker 1>averaging five and a half yards per rush, which is

0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:07.520
<v Speaker 1>fourth most amongst running backs. The Jaguars defense also ranks

0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:10.920
<v Speaker 1>near the bottom, allowing twenty nine points per game. They're

0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.240
<v Speaker 1>the worst in the NFL when it comes to takeaways,

0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:16.160
<v Speaker 1>with only two so far this season. The Bill's defense

0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:19.160
<v Speaker 1>on the other hand, has done the opposite. They're allowing

0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.960
<v Speaker 1>a league glow sixty one point four passer rating to

0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:25.880
<v Speaker 1>opposing quarterbacks. They're also the best defense in the NFL,

0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.880
<v Speaker 1>allowing just fifteen point six points per game and two

0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:32.240
<v Speaker 1>hundred and sixty nine total yards per game. Buffalo scoring

0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:35.440
<v Speaker 1>offense is also the best in the NFL, averaging thirty

0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:38.120
<v Speaker 1>two point seven points per game. They have a plus

0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:42.600
<v Speaker 1>thirteen turnover differential, and their offensive line has allowed only

0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:46.040
<v Speaker 1>eight sacks on Josh Allen, the least in the NFL.

0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Allen has the third most touchdown so far this season

0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:53.080
<v Speaker 1>with twenty and is one hundred and twelve career total touchdowns,

0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:56.600
<v Speaker 1>and his first fifty starts are tied for third most

0:07:56.720 --> 0:08:00.720
<v Speaker 1>ever by a quarterback in that span. Buffalo the series

0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:04.200
<v Speaker 1>against Jacksonville with nine wins and eight losses. That's this

0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:09.040
<v Speaker 1>week's game. Previume Steve back to you. Thanks, Maddie. Coach.

0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:11.480
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna be facing a rookie head coach and a

0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:15.520
<v Speaker 1>rookie quarterback in Jacksonville on Sunday. Tell me what's more

0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:17.680
<v Speaker 1>challenging for you as a coach in your staff? Is

0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.120
<v Speaker 1>it facing a quarterback you've never faced, or a head

0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:24.520
<v Speaker 1>coach you've never faced. Probably a little bit of both. Finestly,

0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:26.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that he's that Urban Meyers a rookie

0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:29.320
<v Speaker 1>head coach. I wouldn't say that, but he definitely has

0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:31.200
<v Speaker 1>a rookie head coach in the NFL. But he's won

0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:33.400
<v Speaker 1>a ton of games. He knows how to win. He's

0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:35.720
<v Speaker 1>obviously been successful at the college level for a long

0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:38.520
<v Speaker 1>time and that's why he's gotten the opportunity he has

0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:41.160
<v Speaker 1>in Jacksonville. And same could be said with Trevor Lawrence.

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Well decorated, highly decorated player in college, and like most

0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:47.360
<v Speaker 1>rookie quarterbacks, there's gonna be ups and downs, and so

0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:50.080
<v Speaker 1>you know we'll be challenged this week in Jacksonville, but

0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:52.200
<v Speaker 1>I know we'll be up for the challenge. Yeah, let's

0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:53.840
<v Speaker 1>talk about Trevor Lawrence for a minute. He was the

0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:57.079
<v Speaker 1>unanimous number one prospect in the draft when the Jacksonville

0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:01.319
<v Speaker 1>Jaguars took him first. Overall, he's got he's big, he

0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:04.520
<v Speaker 1>plays from the pocket, he moves pretty well. Is there

0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.080
<v Speaker 1>any other quarterback that you've seen, pasted or present that

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.120
<v Speaker 1>you kind of compare his skill set to the way

0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.240
<v Speaker 1>he looks the way he throws the football. You know,

0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:13.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I just think overall, man, he looks

0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:15.760
<v Speaker 1>like he's got all the tools that you need to

0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:19.240
<v Speaker 1>be successful in this league at a high level and

0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:20.920
<v Speaker 1>in a short amount of time. I mean you look

0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:24.240
<v Speaker 1>at the size of strength and mobility, and then his

0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:28.680
<v Speaker 1>release and accuracy for a young quarterback. Very impressive to

0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:31.200
<v Speaker 1>this point. All right, thanks coach, good luck on Sunday.

0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:33.160
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna be back next week to recap your game

0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:36.680
