Um? 3 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:10,799 Speaker 1: I had a couple, um let's go ahead, first, Coach 4 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,120 Speaker 1: Farewell and the Bills. This is the third time you've 5 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: seen them. What defines their special teams, approach and units? Yeah, 6 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: you know, they have a great combination, you know that 7 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,119 Speaker 1: speed and size. That's what you definitely see from them 8 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: is you know, they have the speed aspect with Neil 9 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 1: and Taiwan Jones out there as well as you know, 10 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,279 Speaker 1: Japwan Johnson and the personal protector. And then they have 11 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: obviously the size players which create the massive matchups you know, 12 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,639 Speaker 1: with Matta, Kavic and Smith you know, and Dotson though 13 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: those three size guys right there, and they obviously always 14 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: have Gilliman and Kumero on the edges for them, you know. 15 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: So they've got a very good established corps um. They've 16 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: got eight guys you know that they're counting on that 17 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: they're contributing all four phases. So those are the guys 18 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: that they look forward to make all their plays and 19 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: create the mismasses, you know. And they're a fast, physical 20 00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: team and they've done they've done a really good job. 21 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: You know they've shown up in every phase, you know, 22 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: whether it's blocking punts or returning to kick off. You know, 23 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: they've they've been explosive all year, Um, and they're they're 24 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: able to make game. Jane Blaze, for sure. I had 25 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: a couple other topics. That one was just you know, 26 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: obviously saw how the weather affected the last time you 27 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: guys were out there. Um, cold temperatures, what you'd expect right, um, 28 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 1: January whatever, we're gonna be fifteenth when we're out there. Um, 29 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: what is the process you will go through with Nick 30 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: Jake before the game? You know? And and how will 31 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: you know? How do you go through that to determine 32 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: how you're going to approach it? Yeah, you know, so 33 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: obviously cold weather, you know, the ball doesn't travel as 34 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 1: well as it does and you know when you have 35 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: you know, the heat and the humidity, Um, you know 36 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 1: that in the atmosphere of pressure, that makes a difference. 37 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: You know, so the ball traveling, the ball flight is 38 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: going to be different in the cold weather. So it's 39 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: something throughout the week, you know, practicing you know in 40 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: the cold as much as we can, um, and going 41 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: out there and hitting the ball, getting ready to go. 42 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: That's something we have to do weekly. And then you 43 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: know in game talking to those guys how is the 44 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: ball travel and actually on the day of the game, 45 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: and how does it feel coming off your foot. So 46 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: it's something we have to communicate before the game and 47 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: make sure we're on the same page, you know, just much. 48 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 1: It was the last time I played there and Kim 49 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: I had one more. I was just not Bob just 50 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: popped in with a hand, So I'm gonna do make 51 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: this my last one. Just going back you know, um 52 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: it's thinking about like your punt return units. I was 53 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 1: trying to learn more of myself and I'm going back 54 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: to obviously the penalty on Lawrence. You have different personnel 55 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: depending on the spot in the field, Like Lawrence isn't 56 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: always going to be there. Is that sort of like 57 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: punt return safe? You know? Because it's fourth and one, 58 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,839 Speaker 1: and how I guess my thought is like how much 59 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: do you practice that with him? Because it's not your 60 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: traditional punt return unit. If if I'm speaking in turn 61 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: and and correct, Yeah, know, it's all just situationally based, 62 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: and you know, we go try to do a good 63 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: job of getting those guys in the position they need 64 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: to be in you you'd sort of they showed you 65 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: throwing the the tablet there. What can you share sort 66 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: of what that was reaction to. Was it seeing the 67 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: picture of the alignment or like where did that come from. 68 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: It's just anytime you know you're not executing out there, 69 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: you know, everything like that, just a little bit of frustration. 70 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: But you know we're onto this week, we're moving on 71 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: and you know you're getting ready to you know, obviously 72 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 1: go out and con be to get the buffalo. Thanks Cam, 73 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Thanks mate. Next question Bob Sassie. Thanks 74 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: Jason Cam. This is a general question about end of 75 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: game situations, you know, the final half minute or less. 76 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: We saw the pump for example the other day, and 77 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: you guys had a chance to one one last play 78 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: on you know, the series of lad try to try 79 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: to get a series of later rules there. What's the 80 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: general rule? And I mean you try to conserve time 81 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: and yet at the same time, I guess you don't 82 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: want to be pin deep in your own end. Maybe 83 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: you want to give a guy who's a good return 84 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: or a chance to take one back and give you 85 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: at least a good field position or maybe even all 86 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: the way, what's the general you know, the rule rules that, 87 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: what are the general rules that you're follow in a 88 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,919 Speaker 1: situation like that. Yeah, it's definitely, um you know in 89 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: the game's game by game base that's for sure, Bob. 90 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 1: You know, it's how much time is actually on the clock. 91 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: How many seconds you know, is it can you are 92 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: you going to have time to be able to have 93 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: time to have an offensive play when the play's over? 94 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: You know? Do you have timeouts? Do you not have timeouts? 95 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: So there's definitely a lot of factors that you're sitting 96 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 1: there processing in your brain, and you've got to be 97 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: able to look, no matter what we do, is there 98 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 1: gonna be enough time for the offense to take on 99 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: the go on the field? You know. So in the situations, 100 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: you know, if you do get a return or you're 101 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: setting up a return, well, and now you're running the 102 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: risk depending on how much time is there is, Well, 103 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: what if we don't get out of bounce or get 104 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: tackled and then now that's the last play. Then you 105 00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,919 Speaker 1: got to make sure you're communicating that to your team 106 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: and the guys as well, like, hey, look, if we 107 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: get a return, now we're into a last place situation, 108 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: we got to keep the ball out and that's when 109 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: you see all the laterals being thrown. Um. So there's 110 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: a lot of communication in terms of that, and it's 111 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: really all based off of the timeouts, the time on 112 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: the clock. Um, what do you feel you know, it's 113 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: going to give you the best chance to give the 114 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 1: offense a chance to win the game, you know, and 115 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: put the team in a situation to win. And I'm 116 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 1: trying to make this one more concise. Regarding two punts specifically, 117 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: including that last one, there was another pump that bounced 118 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: and the Miami got a lot of yardage hitting yardage 119 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: on on the role afterwards, he's that situation where it 120 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: was just well punted by pillaratey or is there something 121 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 1: gunner you can do in that situation? Or you return 122 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,559 Speaker 1: you it can do to adjust with the ball in flight? 123 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: What's that? What's that process like as it's unfolding? Yeah? No, 124 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: I mean Pollardi did a great job. He had a 125 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: great ball right there, um, you know, and we just 126 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: got to do a good job of communicating and trying 127 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: to get to it. Um. But there's there's definitely times 128 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: that a punter, you know, bangs the ball and you 129 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: know it's a booming and so maybe it's a lower 130 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 1: hang time. So you know, we got to do our 131 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,559 Speaker 1: judgment of putting how deep we have to put gunner 132 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 1: by game. So maybe he's at forty one time, maybe 133 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: the forty five, maybe he's thirty eight, depending on you know, 134 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: how it's going with that punter, and every now and 135 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: then they're gonna catch one. So we just got to 136 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: do a good job trying to get to the ball 137 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: to prevent the roles and hey, save that hidden field 138 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 1: position for sure. All right, thanks Cam, appreciate it. Thanks 139 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: all right. Next question, Dan Runch Morning Camp. Just a 140 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: thought on going back to Buffalo. How much does it help, Again, 141 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: the weather conditions are different every time. It's almost like 142 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: being in New England. But how much does it help, 143 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: if at all, being back in that same stadium to 144 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 1: prepare and to understand maybe some of the things that 145 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: can happen due to those weather windy conditions as you 146 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 1: go about your business this week. Yeah, I think anytime 147 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: you play somewhere before, especially if you play there that season, Um, 148 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 1: it does have a you know, some impacts of knowing 149 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 1: the weather and knowing the wind pattern. In the stadium 150 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 1: and it happening to be a divisional opponent. We play 151 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: there at least once every year, so there's some familiarity. 152 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: What the wind pattern is, what's the common wind pattern? 153 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: Is it playing our sideline their sideline? So there's definitely 154 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: some aspects to that that you're able to familiar yourself with, 155 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: whereas if you're going into a new statum you haven't 156 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: played in or you haven't been there, you're trying to 157 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: figure it out. What's your indicator? Is it the flagpoles 158 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: on top of the stadium? Is it the flagpoles right 159 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: there on the uprights? You know what's going to give 160 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: you the best indicator for the weather and the situations 161 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: in the stadium. And just a follow up, how do 162 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: you approach the playoffs when you look at you know, 163 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: what you guys have done at a body of work 164 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: the season.
