00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Hey Dave Jim So you name pop up on the

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: injury point. So I just wanted to ask you how

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 1: you were doing. First of all, great, Um, so what

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: is the challenge when you when you have to go

5
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: up to the Orchard Park and you're playing in front

6
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: of those crazies. Uh, you know, to make sure that

7
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: everybody can hear the calls at the line of scrimmage. Yeah,

8
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: you know, it's gonna be a great in football environment

9
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: Monday night. Um. You know, Buffalo has got a great,

10
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: amazing fan base. Um. You know, so we just got

11
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: to do a good job of everyone knowing what to do. Um,

12
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: being on the same page. Um, all eleven of eleven

13
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: of us, Um, you know, and that's a challenge every week.

14
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: Obviously with the noise there's some you know, added challenges,

15
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: but um, we just have to do a great job really,

16
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: all all eleven communicating Me and Mac doing a great job. Um,

17
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's just part of it. We'll go next question,

18
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: Mike Grease, Hey David, how you doing? Michael Hope you're parked?

19
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: You know, can have you all here breaking the lass?

20
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, first time caller from the car,

21
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: long time listener, love the show. Yeah, Um, I am Park.

22
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: I'm actually outside waiting for my son, which you'll get

23
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 1: the joy of doing. Down the road, they're going activities

24
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. So you're basically an uber driver

25
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: at some point. Right, I'm in a minivan too. You

26
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: would love it. It's literally an uber you know. So

27
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: I want to ask you guys about the line and

28
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: just sort of you know, you guys have been able

29
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: to string together some games with this same unit, you know, Um,

30
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: how do you feel like that's helped you guys um

31
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: perform at a higher level? Yeah, I mean I think

32
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: the biggest thing is just you know, practice and consistency, practice,

33
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: execution becoming game reality. Yeah, that's gotta be a big

34
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: thing for us each week. And um, I think everything

35
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: starts with being out there and being at practice and

36
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: being available. Yeah. But anytime you got you know, everyone

37
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: out there, you can get guys working, um, you know

38
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: obviously is a big thing. And continuity and um, so yeah,

39
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: you know, we just had we got a big challenge

40
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: this week. There's a really good front, a really good defense, um,

41
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: you know, and you look at this defense and obviously

42
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: got a lot of different players in a lot of

43
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: different positions, but just how they all play together. Um.

44
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: You know something that you know really sticks out to me.

45
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: It just seems how they all work together really well. Um,

46
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: so it'll be a big challenge on Monday night. In

47
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: one quick follow up David Day, combination of Damien Harris

48
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: and Ramandre just in that traditional sort of first I

49
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: guess you call it first and second down back, you know,

50
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: running back role. Obviously you're not watching them when they're running,

51
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 1: but you see when you review the tape, how do

52
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: they define or help sort of characterize the way you

53
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: guys want to play football? Yeah, I mean, um, you

54
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: know when you talk about toughness and things like that.

55
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: You know, obviously the old lines kind what you want

56
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: to call the you know leaders on that um. But

57
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: I think you know, every position has its own toughness.

58
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: You know. I think guys have like Jacobe Myers going

59
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: in there blocking these down safeties or linebackers or you know,

60
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: to kill Harris and you know they've all kind of

61
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: done it. And you know, the quarterback they can show

62
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: different ways of toughness and things like that. And you know,

63
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 1: really the backs, man, I mean, they they they lead

64
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: the way in toughness, with everything they do, with how

65
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: they run blitz pick ups, uh, you know, so many

66
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: things like that. So um, we're very fortunate. I mean

67
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: I feel like every year I've been really fortunate here

68
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: um to play with you know, some really good running

69
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: backs and make me and Mike and Padres look a

70
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: lot better than they are. So um, you know, I

71
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: think Damian's done a great job obviously since he's coming

72
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: in here and you know, leading that room and doing

73
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: a good job of that, you know, with James, and

74
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: and then now you've got Andre coming in. Uh, you know,

75
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: he's been he's been great to have, um, and then

76
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: watching him grow and learn and get better, you know.

77
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: So it's a great room. And then obviously BB's roles

78
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: stepped up hugely, you know, since early in the season.

79
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: So it's a great room. And h I could probably

80
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: be in the other position. I want to be in

81
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: the running back room. They have a lot of fun.

82
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 1: I think Georgia number one. Thank you. Yeah, that's right, baby,

83
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: We're going next question Dan Roch, Hi, David, how are

84
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,679
Speaker 1: you doing good? Dan? How are you good? Just waiting

85
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: for my uber driver? You're at a bar. I'm actually

86
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: in the optim clips, so I don't tell anyone, all right, yeah, exactly. Uh,

87
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: just a thought on maybe an appreciation for the opportunity

88
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: to play in in a game like this, you know,

89
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: in December kind of it's it's been a bit for

90
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: you guys, And how much do you appreciate what you

91
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: guys are gonna be able to go and have an

92
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: opportunity to do on Monday Night? Yeah, I mean I

93
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: think that's why you know, that's why you want to

94
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: play this game, right, and for the opportunities that we're

95
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: gonna have going forward each week now, and um, you

96
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: know there's some teams that aren't in these opportunities and

97
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: there's a lot of teams that are, so um, you know,

98
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: it's a it's a great opportunity. It's going to be

99
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 1: a great, great football environment, great football game. Um. I

100
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: mean as a kid, I guess the other's not supposed

101
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: to be great. But you know, as a kid, you

102
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: think about Monday night football and the north and the

103
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: cold and um kid growing up in Georgia, that's kind

104
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: of how I thought of Monday night. You know, NFL football,

105
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,679
Speaker 1: the cold and you know all those type of things.

106
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: So um, you know, as a kid, and it's definitely

107
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: a game you want to play and growing up. So

108
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: I take it to go to short sleeves all that

109
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. They are arms and everything else. Right, Yeah,

110
00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: we'll see, Thank you go, Georgia. The last question Chris Ryan,

111
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: he did. Um just had a question about the receivers

112
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: from a blocking standpoint. Have you been around a group

113
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: of receivers that's been this dedicated to uh to to blocking?

114
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: And if if not, where do you think it comes

115
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: from with this group? Oh? I mean I think, you know,

116
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: I've always had a lot of respect, you know, um

117
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: and guys that you know that were here uh with

118
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: you know, like Julian Um. You know, I'd say he

119
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: was a big flag bearer on that and you know,

120
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: I know, you know, coach probably saw a lot of

121
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: that his you know, rookie year and there was guys

122
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: with him then and um, so um, you know, I mean,

123
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: I think it's something I've always noticed since I've been here. Uh.

124
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: You know, when you have a big road a lot

125
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: of times is because the receivers are blocking downfield, right

126
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: um getting you know, because you can't block count for everyone.

127
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: Obviously the quarterback's not taking anyone so um, you know,

128
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,799
Speaker 1: really comes down to those receivers making those downfield blocks

129
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: a lot of times to spring those runs and or

130
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: even get them started sometimes right. Um. With however the

131
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: defense or scheme is so UM, I think there's been

132
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: a lot of really good receivers and you know, I

133
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: think it just kind of goes back to, um, you know,

134
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: the mentality of doing what's best for the football team, right. Uh.

135
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: You know, you think of receiver, they're supposed to catch

136
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: the balls and make touchdowns and be on you get

137
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: moss and everything and um, and that's great and we

138
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: love it when they do that. But you know, just

139
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: the mentality of a lot of the guys in the

140
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: locker room we've built here. Uh, you know, no one

141
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: really notices that, but I guess you guys are taking

142
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: notice to it for some reason. So uh, maybe it's

143
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: not you know so uh, but you know, doing what's

144
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: best for the team and um, you know, let's sacrifice

145
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: and things like that. Um. You know, so it's it's

146
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: just you know, it says a lot about them and UM,

147
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: you know they're willing to do what we need them

148
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: to do for us to succeed. Do you think it

149
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: is just kind of a continuation of what this team

150
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: has done for a long period of time. We're just

151
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: kind of getting around and noticing it. Or is this

152
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: grew better than previous groups and brought to that. Yeah,

153
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's definitely they've been something they've

154
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: done for a long time, and so I respected about

155
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: a lot of our receivers. I can think of for

156
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: some reason in this I don't know why because there's

157
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: been multiple examples, but they played the Texans on Thursday

158
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: night and twenty sixteen with Jacobe maybe we were in

159
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: the all Blues and I think we ran like a

160
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: left side outside zone run to la Garrett Blott and

161
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: there's a picture of Julian and maybe Chris Hogan blocking

162
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: the receiver's downfield and I think one of them pancaked

163
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: one of the dbs or something, and um, you know

164
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 1: lg ran for a forty fifty yard touchdown to kind

165
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: of steal the game on Thursday Night football. So you know,

166
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: for yes, you know that was twenty sixteen, so five

167
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: years ago, so two guys that aren't here anymore. So

168
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: I think they've always done a really good job of it. Um,

169
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: and it just speaks to more of the guys in

170
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: that room, um you know, and their willingness to do

171
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: what they need to do for the team. Thanks of course,

172
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 1: Thanks David, so you guys go at all
