1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: As always on Wednesday, we talk about changing the page.

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 2: That's kind of the message to the players and everything

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,239
Speaker 2: we do, everything we talk about, our focus should be

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 2: on the Buffalo Bills. You know, talking about the Bills.

5
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 2: You know, it starts with the quarterback. You know, he's

6
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 2: playing at an unbelievable level right now. He's doing a

7
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 2: good job seeing the field. Has always been dangerous with

8
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 2: both his legs and his arm. I would say, you know,

9
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 2: just from watching them, like the way he's seeing the

10
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: field and going through his reads and the ability to

11
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 2: extend plays and turn the street ball is definitely definitely

12
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 2: a problem. It's gonna take all of us on the

13
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 2: field to try to slow him down first and foremost.

14
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 2: And then saying that, you know, Cook, you know they

15
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 2: got some good backs as well, Cook, and they try

16
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 2: to explo they try to exploit you know, the backs

17
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 2: on you know, the linebackers and even sometimes the safeties.

18
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 2: But definitely a very explosive player, and obviously the receivers.

19
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 2: Even with the rookie, he's playing well for him, Big

20
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 2: fast Strong could do a bunch of different things. Don't

21
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: forget about Ken Kaid who you know, especially after coming

22
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 2: off last week, you know, he's definitely gonna be be

23
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: targeted in this game, and so we have to do

24
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 2: good job whether we're talking about zone or man limiting

25
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 2: that connection between the quarterback. Defensively, to me, it starts

26
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: up front. You know, a couple good edge rushers in

27
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: Russau and a Panessa, very good players. And then to me,

28
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: it really starts with Ed Oliver. I think I've been

29
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,839
Speaker 2: a fan since he was in college. Very disruptive player

30
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 2: and you can tell he's really coming to his own

31
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 2: and makes this defense go. Good players in the back

32
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 2: end as well. And then talking about special teams, Look,

33
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 2: these guys are physical in the special teams world, and

34
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 2: you know they're just we got to match that physicality

35
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,199
Speaker 2: and go out there and win that battle fire away.

36
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 3: That's the biggest challenge of Josh Allen.

37
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 4: What makes him maybe arguably different than any other quarterback.

38
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: In the NFL.

39
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, first he's I don't know how much he weighs,

40
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: but I mean this is a big, big human being here.

41
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: So a guy that anytime, a guy.

42
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: Who you know there are rules around obviously tackling quarterbacks,

43
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 2: but he also can run you, over, run around you,

44
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 2: and also still maintain being a passer as he gets

45
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: outside the pocket. And those are just the challenges that

46
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: uh he puts on defenses.

47
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 5: Any plans without hope their rosters thought to build that today.

48
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: Not today. We're not I'm not gonna gain say it,

49
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: but not today.

50
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 3: Though I think it was Nate Tice posts on Twitter

51
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 3: the kshatus and finishing all this rock space.

52
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: From what you seen, have you seen an issue with

53
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: that at a location on this trip.

54
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 2: I'm not going to talk about specific players. I think

55
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 2: we all have to get better. You know, for me,

56
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 2: you talk about booty, it's get open and catch the ball.

57
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 2: I mean that's your job as a wide receiver and

58
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 2: receivers in the title of your of your job, your

59
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: job description, and that's our expectation.

60
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 3: Row.

61
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: There was a a portion that I haven't seen. It

62
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: said that you've been cleverly ensured that the crafts should

63
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: really given during the time and resources necessary to continue.

64
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 3: To go into the jobs that the community, the teams.

65
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 2: I'm not sure where that story came from. Look, I

66
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: have multiple conversations on a daily basis with ownership and

67
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: they've always been supportive.

68
00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: You've often talked.

69
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 3: About getting better in your too.

70
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: Is that kind of shows you that you have no

71
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: again again for me this week, my focus is on

72
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 2: this game, the Bills here today, like things that happened

73
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: at the end of the season, Like I can't control

74
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 2: those things, So it's all about the Bills.

75
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: In interesting where you're coming from.

76
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 2: I appreciate the answer, But if he's obviously don't have

77
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 2: a speculation recently out.

78
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: Your future like that answer, you don't necessarily squash the.

79
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not trying to squash anything. I'm trying to

80
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 2: let you know like where my focus is, and it's

81
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 2: on the Bills.

82
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: I understand the question. Thanks.

83
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 3: You mentioned Josh Allen's duel threadibility. Kyler Murray obviously another

84
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 3: guy with a similar kind of skill set.

85
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: How do you feel like you guys defended him in

86
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: that respect?

87
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 3: Well?

88
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: As far as keeping Kyler in the pocket, I would

89
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: say overall it was a decent job. But these are

90
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 2: two different beasts that you're talking about the difference between

91
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray and Josh Allen. Kyler definitely a quicker guy,

92
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: you know, can do a lot of different things with

93
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 2: his legs. With Josh Allen just overall would say he's

94
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: a stronger guy than one of the top quarterbacks in

95
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: the league.

96
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: It's historically Pats that one of because defenses and we're

97
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: certainly going to play the coach here, and that really

98
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: hasn't been the case this year.

99
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 4: If you had to boil it down, what is the

100
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 4: reason for some of the play.

101
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 5: And the clients.

102
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: Look, I'm not gonna I don't want to get into

103
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 2: you know, the players or anything like that. We just

104
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: have to play better and next keep better.

105
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,799
Speaker 1: That's what it comes down to, Druid. You said something

106
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: someday that stuck with me.

107
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 5: You said about accountability is about going out and correcting,

108
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 5: it about action. Some of the players, to my thinking,

109
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 5: are making the same mistakes. How do you create accountability

110
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 5: with the players?

111
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 3: Do you know I play them?

112
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: Do you How.

113
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 5: Do you create that accountability so mistakes don't happen again?

114
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: Yeah?

115
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 2: I think you know, you would always love to be

116
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 2: able to you know, a guy makes a mistake, you

117
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 2: pull into the sideline and go on from there. You

118
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 2: would love to do those things. I would say, We're

119
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 2: not in that position right now. And look, I mean

120
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: I think each individual situation that you're talking about is different.

121
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: You know, post snap penalty, versus a pre snap penalty,

122
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: at least in my mind, is different and how you

123
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 2: handle those things and so that's how I kind of

124
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 2: go about it.

125
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 3: How should say this is that's gone on the players,

126
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 3: Maybe you'll have kind of responded to your coaching style

127
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 3: because it's different than what spending your time.

128
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 2: It is different, And I would say, you know, I

129
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 2: think those guys they go out there and they play

130
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 2: hard every day. I mean, I'm not trying to offer

131
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,679
Speaker 2: a consolation prize because it comes down to wins and losses,

132
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 2: which we haven't won many games this year.

133
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: And I mean that's no secret.

134
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 2: I do think the guys go out every single day

135
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 2: and practice hard and you know, try to squeeze as

136
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 2: much as we can out of those guys to go

137
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 2: out there and perform on Sunday.

138
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: Do you feel like the message is that you're trying

139
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: to get across it and like for the account value

140
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: and all that.

141
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 3: Do you feel like they're reaching the team in the

142
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 3: way that you would want them to reach the Yeah?

143
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: I do.

144
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 2: I would also say, you know, historically, no matter if

145
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: youre playing high school, college, whatever, I would say it's

146
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: also you have a conversation with the captains. You have

147
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 2: a conversation with the team, and you know the captains

148
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 2: have to disseminate that message. And you know we're professional reminders,

149
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 2: that's what we are.

150
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 4: Do you feel that.

151
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 3: The team, you and the team have established an identity

152
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 3: yet or is that still something that you're working.

153
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I understand the question one hundred percent. What

154
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 2: I would say is we are what our record says

155
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 2: we are at this point in time, and we've just

156
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 2: got to get better.

157
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 4: Do you see that she overlapped for similar as they

158
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 4: should say. Between your quarterback and Josh Allen's quarter.

159
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: Current play this week, Well, one, you know, was the

160
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 2: MVP of the league and the other is a rookie quarterback.

161
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not trying to be smart. I'm just

162
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: saying it's you.

163
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: I don't want to get into comparison and comparing those

164
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: two players, but they both offer the ability to run

165
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 2: and the ability to throw the ball down the field.

166
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 2: And saying that, you know, Josh being a veteran quarterback

167
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 2: is a difficult challenge.

168
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: Coach.

169
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 3: On James Connor's fifty three yard run, you mentioned and

170
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 3: there were a couple of defenders you would have expected

171
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 3: to make the tackle that didn't. So I'm curious when

172
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 3: it comes to the safety and linebacker play, have they

173
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 3: been meeting your expectations and if not, where would you

174
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:47,679
Speaker 3: like to see those has improved?

175
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: They definitely have to improve.

176
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 2: I would say all phases have to improve, coaching has

177
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 2: to improve. But you know, the expectation is always when

178
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 2: you go into a game, you know you got to

179
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: go out there and play with good fundamentals and tackle them.

180
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: Falls in that bucket off line this week and do

181
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: you envision any changes starting growth this week?

182
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 2: We look, we'll see how practice goes today, and again

183
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: we're always trying to put the best guys out there

184
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,559
Speaker 2: that give us the best opportunity to win. As I mentioned,

185
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 2: you have kind of alluded to the running backs and

186
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: passing the tight ads for Buffaloes.

187
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: They've been very productive and.

188
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 2: Play the other games morally, will throw the ball to

189
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 2: different receivers.

190
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,239
Speaker 5: A lot of hard to get profectual part of it.

191
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: The skill set there.

192
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 5: What have you seen in his growth.

193
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: And kind of the evolution of their offense.

194
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 5: From when we first coached against him.

195
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, for me, I always say, and I told the guy,

196
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: I told the coaches this. I thought Josh Allen really

197
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 2: took a huge step forward when he started taking the

198
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 2: profit and being able just to take the check down

199
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 2: and that became that's where that was the point, at

200
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 2: least in my mind, when he became a very very

201
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 2: good quarterback in this league.

202
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 4: Going back in front of it, I know this is

203
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 4: three years ago, but it felt like he started to

204
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 4: get a real handled in twenty twenty one. As you

205
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 4: guys threw a ton at of your basement three times,

206
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 4: what do you remember about spinning the dials as much

207
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 4: as possible?

208
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 2: And I having answers, Yeah, I mean, look, just kind

209
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 2: of what I said earlier. It was more about him

210
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 2: just taking the profit like early in his career, because

211
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: he does have a big arm, he does have athletic

212
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: ability to run around. He was always trying to make

213
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 2: the big play. And I thought the evolution of Josh

214
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 2: Allen was when he took the profit.

215
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: You want to go for the job.

216
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 4: There's a lot of discussion about the word collaboration as

217
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 4: you've gone through this first year here.

218
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: How have you gone about.

219
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 4: Sort of asserting what it is that you want to

220
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 4: do when you've kind of, you know, for lack of a better.

221
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: Term, had the hammer and made it very what you

222
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: want to be. A collaboration doesn't mean that everyone you

223
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: know has you know, equal vote.

224
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 2: It's about just listening and trying to do what's best

225
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 2: and ultimately that's on me to do what's best for

226
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 2: the football team exactly.

227
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: Thanks Drudge, you
