1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: Good morning, Bill. Um the trade deadlines in a week.

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: I know you've mentioned it's a certainly an unusual year

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: with player movement. But how do you view approaching the

4
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: trade deadline? And have you noticed anymore or movement less,

5
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: you know, two days ago? Uh? Yeah, Ben, that's something

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: that uh, you know, I'll check in on with Nick

7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: um here this week, but you know, I usually don't

8
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: get too involved in that. That's uh something that you know,

9
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: communication on that really goes through the personnel department and

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: uh with Nick and his staff. UM. Let's say generally speaking,

11
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: the coaches are pretty involved in their UM game preparations

12
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: at this point in time, until you know, something becomes

13
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: um uh you know, more more of a realistic UM opportunity. UM.

14
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: So we'll kind of see how it goes. I don't

15
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: you know, I really don't have a good sense on

16
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: that one way or the other. UM. You know, I'm

17
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: sure that there's there's some conversations out there. UM you know,

18
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: how how close that would or wouldn't be for us,

19
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: I'm really not sure at this point. I also want

20
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: to ask you a quick question about Cam Newton. UM.

21
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: It's been hard not to notice that his place slipped

22
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: ever since. Um, he came down with the virus and

23
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: he's returned from it. Um, is there any concern that

24
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: maybe he still is not completely recovering from the virus,

25
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: there's still showing some effects of it or anything like that.

26
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think there's any Um.

27
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: I mean, we've a list out on the injury report

28
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: if there was, But I don't think he's had any

29
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: symptoms the whole way. Next question, Mike Jority, Paul McKenny

30
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: mc Good morning, Bill. I was wondering what sort of

31
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: impact you see on that Stefan Diggs is making on

32
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: the on the Bills offense. Yeah, he's had a big impact.

33
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: He's uh, I think, really become the go to, the

34
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: go to guy for him. Um, it's made a lot

35
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: of a lot of big plays. Um, he's an excellent receiver.

36
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: It gets good separation, very good hands. It really attacks

37
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: the ball. Um catches in a crowd, takes the ball

38
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: away from from defenders. Has done that multiple times. Um.

39
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: You know, he's made big plays down the field, catching

40
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: run plays in a red area. He's uh, you know,

41
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: he's he's an excellent player. They've also talked quite a

42
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: bit in Buffalo about sort of the the maturity and

43
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: decision making from Josh Allen. Is that also evident to

44
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: you on tape? It is? Yeah, I think that Josh

45
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: is um does a good job of going to some

46
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: of his secondary uh outlet receivers based on you know,

47
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: the coverage where that takes him and if you know,

48
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: if it's open, he'll throw it for sure. And if

49
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: it isn't then uh, he's I would say, not as

50
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,399
Speaker 1: quick to you know, to pull the ball down and run.

51
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: He finds secondary receivers and outlets and checkdowns and that

52
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: kind of thing. Now, he's still a dangerous runner, I'm

53
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 1: not saying that, and he can't run, and he does run,

54
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: but um, I don't. I think he's become more more

55
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: patient and just has a better um it does a

56
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: better job of dealing with with outlet receivers in the

57
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: cover each or secondary receivers in the in the pattern. Uh.

58
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: You know that he did, you know, as he's gained experience.

59
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: That's I think that's the expected of UM any good

60
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: quarterback like that. So he can certainly make all the throws.

61
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: He's got a great arm and and he could run.

62
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: He's athletic. He's hard to tackle, but I'd say his

63
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: overall execution in the passing game is you know, has improved. Um,

64
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: you know of each of the last three years. Next question,

65
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: Henry mckenne Probably good entering your rends. All right, we'll

66
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: step Henry and we'll go to Dug Kaite. We'll come

67
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: back to him. I think there was a report out

68
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: there that Brandon Copeland had suffered out a season ending injury,

69
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: and he sort of seemed to confirm that via twitter. Um,

70
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: what would the team lose? Uh if Copeland was out

71
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: for the year? And are you happy with the depth

72
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: did you have otherwise of linebacker? All right, well, we'll

73
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: see how that goes. I think he's still talked to

74
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: him yesterday and he's still you know, going through a

75
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: little you know, a series of evaluations and tests and

76
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: so forth. But yeah, Brand's don't a good job to

77
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: give us some versatility. Has played for us on all

78
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: four ounts. Um, you know, in the kicking game, and

79
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: you know, some inside linebacker and outside linebacker. So um,

80
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: you know, he's an experienced player that yeah, in these

81
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: in our situation, be harder replaced. We'll go back to

82
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: Henry mckennell some more contact. Rekenry will pause for anyone

83
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: wants to ask a question of reasoning. Now, okay, the bazar, Hey,

84
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: coach just wanted to ask you about Chase and and

85
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: just what you've seen from him, specifically on first and

86
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: second down over the last couple of games. Well, uh,

87
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: you know, okay, it's really all about team defense, and

88
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: they speaking for all of us. Um, you know, we've

89
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: had some some good moments and we've had some not

90
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: so good ones, and you know what we need is

91
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: more insistency. And you know that comes from everybody across

92
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: the board. So you know, Chase is a you know,

93
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: plays hard, he's a great pursuit player. He's strong at

94
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: the point of attack. He can defeat blockers and can

95
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: rush the passer. But you know, just collectively, we all

96
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: have to be more consistent in our um execution and

97
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: of the defense and our fundamentals in the defense. And

98
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: we've just given up too many yards. Uh. However, it's

99
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: come running game, passing game the last two weeks in

100
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: those situations and you know, we've just got a coach

101
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: better and we got to play better. So I mean,

102
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: that's really say that about everybody on the defensive unit,

103
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: including all the defensive coaches and players and staff and

104
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 1: everybody else. We're just I just need to be better.

105
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 1: Is there anything specifically that you can point to a

106
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: chase though that that has led to his STAPs kind

107
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: of decreasing here over the last couple weeks. No, I

108
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: think he's been the same player. Some that's you know,

109
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: situational and game plan and uh, you know the way

110
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: things worked out on the last two games. But not

111
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: He's a good player for us and he'll continue to play. Thanks.

112
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: Thanks question Matt. The tour fel like recognizing that this

113
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: is not a this is not something that that would

114
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: be your long term decision to make. Do you think

115
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: it'd be better for the NFL to maybe keep the

116
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: U the shorter IR period? You think that's been a

117
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: positive for the league and positive for roster management to

118
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: be able to to kind of to use that to

119
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: to have be able to bring back multiple guys and

120
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: to be able to do to for a shorter period

121
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: of time. Oh yeah, I don't know. Again, out that

122
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: will be a decision on another level, Um, you know,

123
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: it's like, given the lag time and being able to

124
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: bring a player in and put them on your roster.

125
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: From what it's been in the past, that the opportunity

126
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: to move players in your system on or off the

127
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: roster has you know, been a you know has complimented

128
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: the decision to or the rules that you'll prevent you

129
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: from adding anybody outside your roster very quickly. So I

130
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: think those two go hand in hand and they you

131
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: know it's it's working. We'll sure to'll be evaluated at

132
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: the end of the year and we'll see what the

133
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: what the league and what the membership decided to do

134
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: about that. Thank your coach, Thanks everyone came a quarterb

135
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: next
