1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: I guess Karen, just before you know, I just want

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: to send anything we can well wishes to Kevin and

3
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: Letitia Faalk. Obviously we're all heartbroken. Kevin was a teammate.

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,959
Speaker 1: He's a huge part of this legacy here, this football team,

5
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: and you know the impact that he made and here

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: and coaching in college and how much he loved LSU.

7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: And I'm sure that they there's no words to describe

8
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: what they're going through, but just wanted to make sure

9
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 1: that everybody knows that we care deeply about Kevin and

10
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: his family and our thoughts and our prayers are with them.

11
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: So obviously a tough time for that, but we have to,

12
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: you know, prepare here. I appreciate, thank you. Given the

13
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: stakes of the atmosphere, the opponent win or lose, do

14
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: you see this game as kind of being the valuable

15
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: preps for apply ahead assume they need. Well, I hope

16
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: that everything we do, we only have seventeen opportunities, right,

17
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 1: so that all of that has to be valuable. Prep

18
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: you know, they all they all count the same at

19
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: the end. You know, this is a great stage that

20
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: we put ourselves on and that's exciting, but obviously hopefully

21
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: we've been able to draw from from different opportunities that

22
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: we've had to help us. And so what we're focused

23
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: on is is the previous opportunities that can help us

24
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: this week, and then whatever we're able to learn from

25
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: the game on Sunday going forward to help us the

26
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: next week. That's what we're trying to do, Like what

27
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: are some of the challenges that the second meeting, and

28
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: then in a vision that you've seen over the years,

29
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: they've they've changed, they've continued to evolve, and you know,

30
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: they've continued to improve. You know, we talked about the

31
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: respect that we have for them as a as a

32
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: football team, players and coaches, and just draw on some

33
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: games here in the past. I mean it's twenty to ten.

34
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: In our game, they didn't bat an eye. They came

35
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: back and tied it in the fourth quarter. We were

36
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: up two scores in the fourth quarter. You know, we

37
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: needed our best execution and kick to win it. Well,

38
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: it was the Tampa Bay game, you know, being down

39
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: and then winning the game going away, Pittsburgh down seven

40
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 1: to three, and then really just played tremendous football in

41
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: the second half, and then last week to score game

42
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: with eight minutes to go in the fourth quarter, So

43
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: never any panic over there. That's a veteran team. They're

44
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: familiar with their program. So however the game unfolds, it'll

45
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: we'll have to do everything that we can to to

46
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: play the entire fourth quarters or then some if we

47
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: need to. Buffalo was challenged all across the board. But

48
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: in terms of their offense, how important did Josh allen

49
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: is tight end part of that offense? I think that's grown.

50
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: I think that you know, I mean, you can see

51
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: when Ken Kid's back out there, the the matchup and

52
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: his skill set in the passing game, you know, great

53
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: speed and athleticism, catch radius, very quarterback friendly. Obviously, Dawson

54
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: does a little bit of both, and Hawes has just

55
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: you know, been able to really I would say, not

56
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: only neutralized, but moved the line of scrimmage on his responsibilities.

57
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: And I think they just continued to evolve in that

58
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: regard and using you know, all three of those guys,

59
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: like the people in Las Vegas, have you guys as underdogs,

60
00:03:55,480 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: sundown the people ben there you go are there called

61
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: odds makers not people. There's a lot of people in

62
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: Las Vegas like they only it's only a few of

63
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: them that they trust to set the line. So do

64
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: you pay attention to that? I mean, do you notice that? No,

65
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: I mean again it gets brought to attention. I don't

66
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: think that, you know, I mean it's every week you see,

67
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: you know in this league that records really don't mean anything,

68
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: and you know, the point spreads and survivor pools get

69
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: blown up every week and all that other stuff. So

70
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: we're just trying to focus on our preparation here and

71
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: get back into it. You know, had a good day Monday,

72
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: excited about the meetings thus far today and then you

73
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: know progress through the week we've built in both.

74
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 2: Being out for the last couple of games.

75
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: What do you see the group of Jnsters is a

76
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: big guys like Corymeric Yeah, and I think Corey's continue

77
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: to improve and play a lot of football for us

78
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: and Eric's you know, taking the opportunities on Thursdays that

79
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: we've had and those competitive practices to get better and

80
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: to get better. And you know, again we'll need everybody

81
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: up front how important the ability to stop the run

82
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: is this week, and you know that's just a large

83
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: part of what they do. They have a lot of

84
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: confidence in it. Not the only thing that they do.

85
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: They do a lot of things well, but you know,

86
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 1: certainly they're going to run it until you stop them,

87
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: and then they're going to have everything off of it.

88
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 3: Like going on I think Josh Allen's long touchdown round

89
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 3: last week, Son's defensive back who's still covering a wide receiver,

90
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 3: Josh Allen's goning to get into the end zone. And

91
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 3: I'm just thinking on the perfect example why you don't

92
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 3: want to play man against Alan? Does he remove things

93
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 3: that you can do defensively because of this versupport?

94
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: Well, you just have to Again, I don't think you

95
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: can sit in any one thing. And certainly there's situations

96
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: where you have to play man in this league and

97
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: you have to be on body, But then again there's

98
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: other things that then have to account When you have

99
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: an athletic quarterback, you know, how are you going to

100
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: account for the extra gap or the ability to scramble,

101
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: uh to extend plays and all those different things. So

102
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: I don't think that there's one particular coverage or defense

103
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: or blitz that you can sit there and be in

104
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: the entire game. I think it's about picking the opportunities

105
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: and then you know when you get an opportunity to

106
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: make a play on him, you've got to do everything

107
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: that you can to, you know, to get him on

108
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: the ground and not jump when he pumped fakes or

109
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: fall down when he steff arms here or anything else

110
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: he applied when you were you held kustonton your fifty

111
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: rushing yards. I'm just curious when you look up at

112
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: that film. What allowed the defense to be in limiting

113
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: that run game. Well, I mean, I think the way

114
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: that we got you know, we were able to get

115
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: a lead there and probably limited some of the carries

116
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: in the second half, and that the way that the

117
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: game un fold did. But I think early in the

118
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: ability for our offense to possess the ball, you know,

119
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: we'll have to do everything we did in that game

120
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: and then some too, you know, try to neutralize him

121
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: in the run game.

122
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: I've enjoyed more has been to coach Mac Hollins this season.

123
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: What's he meant? This team brings a great spirit to

124
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: work every day. It's a great teammate. Actually showed a

125
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: clip you know, from the first game on a kickoff

126
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: coverage and maxed over there excited and not going in

127
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: the game. But he's into it somebody made a tackle

128
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: and Max the first one cheering on the sidelines, And

129
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: those are the little things that that mean a lot,

130
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: I think to me. So again, we we asked him

131
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: to do a lot of different things, and I think

132
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: just the spirit that he brings to work and the

133
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: teammate that he is. Believe the buildings bought me in

134
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: protection to win the bigest rates in the league. What

135
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: allows him to live in the world. And also how

136
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: do you weigh the bats between wanted to play coverage

137
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: and rushing against that kind of study. I mean, I

138
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: think with a quarterback and again you bring six and

139
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: they block five quarterbacks got the sixth one, so he

140
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: pump fakes them or spins or stiff arms him. You know,

141
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: I think Josh has a good ability to know when

142
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: he's hot or no, you know, where he needs to

143
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,719
Speaker 1: go with football. And you know, even if it's a

144
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: four man rush, I don't think he ever really panics

145
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 1: and he's able to extend or just find where he

146
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: wants to go with football and when they do get

147
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: five out. So and then the other question was what

148
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: did you ask me about when do we need to

149
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: pressure and when we decide to that just again, we

150
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: have to mix it up. I think you just have to, huh,

151
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: you know, pick and choose your spots. In the end,

152
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: you want to be sound and everything that you do,

153
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: you know, you don't want to just leave it up

154
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: to chance and hope that he's not going to find somebody.

155
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 1: You want to make sure that everybody's covered or that

156
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: zones are accounted for, and that you know, the rush

157
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: lanes are sound and that you have an ability to

158
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,719
Speaker 1: you know, defend and you can't be cautious, but you

159
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: have to, you know, be sound. I think, like your

160
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: time in the.

161
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 2: League, what common allies have you seen that the rivalries

162
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 2: you've participated in the DC? Any of those elements possibly

163
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 2: here with Buffalos?

164
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: Mmm, I just got here. So and again I know

165
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: that they've won the division five years in a row.

166
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: I don't think there's really much of a rivalry for

167
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: those years. Maybe not, I don't know. I wasn't paying

168
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: any attention to it. I'm just focused on a very

169
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: good football team that you know is used to winning,

170
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: and they're determined and they're resilient, and you know, we'll

171
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: have to be at our best.

172
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 2: So you can mentioned South roughly, it's whether you're blitzing

173
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 2: or not. And how important is it this week against

174
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 2: Allen to try to keep him in the pocket?

175
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 1: Keeping well, you keep me in the pocket, and he's

176
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: just going to stand there and wait for somebody to uncover.

177
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: So you know what I mean Again, that's there's I mean,

178
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 1: you keep me in the pocket. You can stand there

179
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 1: and we can we can all just stand there and

180
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: he'll do you know, he'll do this, and I mean

181
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: you have to just again, coordinated and relentless is probably

182
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: the best way to phrase it. And because again you say,

183
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: we'll keep me in the pocket, and then guys are

184
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: just standing there and they're cautious, and we don't want

185
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: to we want to coach that way. We want to

186
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: make sure that we're trying to remain aggressive but certainly sound.

187
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: And you know, when he does extend, then we're going

188
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: to need a plaster and you know, have guys, you know,

189
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: be able to come up and help us.

190
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 2: How do you feel about the offense's ability to improve

191
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 2: some of the short yardage and red zone issues that

192
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: have crop the last few weeks?

193
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 1: Or feel good? Feel good like I do about everything

194
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: that we're trying to coach and improve and you know,

195
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: there's things that we've done really well, there's things that

196
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: we've done okay. You know, so again, whatever situation it

197
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: is that comes up, will have to be prepared for

198
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: it and be able to extend drives no matter what

199
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 1: the down and distance is. And I think most importantly

200
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: you have a understanding of how critical the red zone

201
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: is when you get down there, and that everything that

202
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: we've been preaching and talking about will have to continue

203
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 1: to execute and make sure that we're doing everything we

204
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: can to get touchdowns and the difference that that makes

205
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: and post ball games and force them to kickfield goals.

206
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: The same thing can be said defensively. So I think

207
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,599
Speaker 1: we were both two for four last game, and you

208
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: know again that in a close game, that's about what

209
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: it turned out to be. We made a kick at

210
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: the end. And so if we can try to get

211
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 1: him to kickfield goals or attemp field goals, and we'll

212
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: have to try to do everything we can to score touchdowns.

213
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 2: Like Joe Brady the way he calls the game, obviously

214
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 2: they're confident the run game, and Josh, do you see

215
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 2: them as more but game plan we tweak offense or

216
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 2: kind of do what we do Operation.

217
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's elements of both. I think

218
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: that they have their stuff that's staple, that they dress

219
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 1: up a little bit, and they have the sometimes some

220
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: game plan plays that that show up and that they

221
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: find great ways to disguise and give it a different presentation.

222
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 1: Thank you.

223
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 2: Thanks Mine
