1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: You do when you look at the Buffalo Bill's tape.

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 2: Uh, how do you evaluate a pass rush on a

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 2: day where you didn't get credit for any sacks? Well,

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 2: you know, we can argue the job Chalu coming to

5
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 2: to Cow's come home.

6
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: But you drew five holding calls in the game, which

7
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 1: is an exorbitant amount.

8
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 3: In one game four were enforced. And I'm just wondering,

9
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 3: does that do you do?

10
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,959
Speaker 4: You look at that as well, I mean, it's not

11
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 4: as good as a sack, but you look at it

12
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 4: as a pretty big win when you can draw a

13
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 4: holding call.

14
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 5: Well, right now we're looking at it as we're getting pressure.

15
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 5: But it's the same, Uh, the results like finishing, Like

16
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 5: we drew the holding, but there were opportunities where we

17
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 5: didn't get held a we had a chance to get

18
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 5: 'em on the ground. But we just gotta continue to

19
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 5: work on finishing and you know the guys that are

20
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 5: doing it and hopefully that will turn around force.

21
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 3: But let me let be more specific on this.

22
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: Would you are you are you generally happy with the

23
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: game where you don't get sacked but you get core

24
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: and forced holds?

25
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 5: Well, it's really the sack is really the stat that

26
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 5: you want to get, but at the end of the

27
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 5: day of the coach, you really look at how you

28
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 5: affected the quarterback. Was he comfortable back there or was

29
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 5: he moving around and uncomfortable. That's one of the things.

30
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 5: And you can tell by completing percentage sometimes and then

31
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 5: just the field of the game. And I think we're

32
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 5: making guys uncomfortable. We just got to do a little

33
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 5: extra and get that sack. Talk about Devon Hamilton going

34
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 5: to be back at practice today and what he would

35
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 5: if you can.

36
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 6: Get him back on the field, what he'd bring to

37
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 6: the defense.

38
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 3: It's just really good to almost be at full strength.

39
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 5: You know, you got a guy that played a played

40
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 5: great force last year and unfortunate that he was had

41
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:45,199
Speaker 5: missed some time.

42
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 3: But to open up his window and get a.

43
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 5: Chance to get him back and just see his face

44
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 5: out there. You know he's been sitting in the meetings

45
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 5: and just being able to get him out on the field,

46
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 5: it'll be a I think it'll be a big boost

47
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 5: for the for the team's good has it been to

48
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 5: see him back at practice and maybe even on the fields,

49
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 5: and really just last week just being around more, being

50
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 5: engaged with the guys talking, you know, his leadership shows

51
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 5: up being able to help guys out and pass for us.

52
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 3: But you know he just liked VN. Just being able

53
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 3: to get him back would be uh, just a boost

54
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 3: to the team.

55
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: Like you talk what the.

56
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 7: Seasons about the need to improve.

57
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 6: Is a tackling team.

58
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 4: It seems that you have improved.

59
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 3: Are you happy with that so far?

60
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 5: Well, you always work on the things that were your

61
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 5: weaknesses the last year, and we're gonna continue to work

62
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 5: on tackling.

63
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 3: We did I tackle circuit yesterday. Just you always want

64
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 3: to go back.

65
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 5: And reinforce the things that are important to you, and

66
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 5: tackling is and we have to go back and we'll

67
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 5: continue to work on it. And the guys are doing

68
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,519
Speaker 5: a good job in they're understanding that it's important.

69
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 3: We just gotta continue to keep it going.

70
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 7: How much can you the defenses play over the last

71
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 7: few weeks with just how close the team is, how

72
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 7: close the defenses, Uh, obviously in the second year with

73
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 7: each other, how much of that kind of correlates to

74
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 7: to how well.

75
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 3: You guys can playing.

76
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 5: I think it kind of goes hand in hand. You're

77
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 5: around guys a bunch, we're not communicating as well as

78
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 5: we should be because it explosive plays. But other areas

79
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 5: of the defense and other areas of the games. We

80
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 5: are doing a decent job of what we want to do.

81
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,119
Speaker 5: But the communication of this thing right now around each other,

82
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 5: we talk, we joke all the time. Let's talk in

83
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 5: make sure we communicating on the field the same way.

84
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 3: You've been missing Smooth and Hamilton.

85
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 7: But the run defense has been probably one of the

86
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 7: top in the league.

87
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 3: What do you make of that?

88
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 7: Just you know, having guys like Ledbetter coming in and

89
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 7: just different players being able to step in right away.

90
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 3: I think in training camp you.

91
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 5: Kind of find guys that are able to fit your mold,

92
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 5: and we found a couple of guys, got a few

93
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 5: guys off the street that.

94
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 3: Have come in here and did a really good job.

95
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 5: And then overall you have our defensive backs are tackling

96
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 5: like crazy, like Jenkins Tyson.

97
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 3: Tyson had a tackle for loss the corner.

98
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 5: So it's it's it's interesting that guys want to contribute

99
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 5: to stopping the run and you know they're doing a

100
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 5: good job and they're focused on it, and you know,

101
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 5: got a big task this week.

102
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 6: Darius made that interception against defon just how impressive of

103
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 6: a play. Is that to you just says a defensive

104
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 6: back to the leverage of the throat and everything like that.

105
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 3: But he was able to make that bonus.

106
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 5: It's it's always good for a defensive guy because at practice,

107
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 5: you sometimes when it's our perier, we get a chance

108
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 5: to compete for the ball, but when it's offensive pier,

109
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 5: we don't get a chance to compete for the ball.

110
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 3: And he went up and he competed for the ball,

111
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 3: and that's what you want.

112
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 5: You want guys that are able to attack the ball

113
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 5: once it's in the air. And Darius did a great

114
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 5: job of going up and high pointing it.

115
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 3: He showed a strong hands and was able to get

116
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 3: the interception.

117
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 4: Josh Allen sort of intimated after the game that he

118
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 4: you know, I mean, obviously he was, you know, dancing

119
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 4: around in the pocket there a little bit.

120
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 3: How much do you think he was bothered enough by the.

121
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: Pressure to not get the kind of velocity on the

122
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: ball that he probably wanted.

123
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 5: Well, you know, going into the game, we understood that Josh,

124
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 5: the other Josh Allen could throw it as far as

125
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 5: he needed to throw it. And that's why we always

126
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 5: say rush and coverage go together. Just being able to

127
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 5: be around him and not let him fully step into

128
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 5: it because he had the arm and strong enough to

129
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 5: throw it in ninety yards, but he will. You know,

130
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 5: it came up short and Darius is in good position

131
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 5: he that would make a play. But it goes hand

132
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 5: in hand when you have a rush is able to

133
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 5: get around guys. That's where we go back to talking

134
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 5: about affecting the quarterback. When he's unable to step into it,

135
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 5: then that's not as good as a sack, but it

136
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 5: affects a quarterback follow up.

137
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: I know this is not your ultimate call to make,

138
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: but the trade deadline is less and three.

139
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 4: Weeks away will smooth and Devon Hamilton really have enough

140
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 4: time together where you can properly evaluate whether you need

141
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 4: to go get a potential help along the defensive line.

142
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 3: Pass rush, or whatever.

143
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 5: Again, I think you answered my answered your question. You

144
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 5: know that's not my area. We'll I guess we'll talk

145
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 5: about it as staff, but right now, we're comfortable with

146
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 5: the guys we have, and we're getting the guys back that.

147
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 3: Can play the major role in the growth of this.

148
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 5: Team last year and going forward. So we're excited to

149
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 5: get our guys back in. We'll see how it goes

150
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 5: from there.

151
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 1: You expect the pass rush to be once Hamilton and

152
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: Smooth are not just back, but actually got a couple

153
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: games under their belt and you can really kind of

154
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: get back into the flow of the game.

155
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 5: Well, when you look at it, those are our guys

156
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 5: that last year we depended on. This year, going into

157
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 5: this season we depended on. We're glad to get them

158
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 5: back at whatever time. Now, Smooth's ready, the Ham's ready

159
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 5: to go, and that'll be a jolt to the team.

160
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 3: We say, Moxie, he's a guy that you know, he

161
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 3: might not have the name, but the players in that

162
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 3: locker room play for him. And that's huge.

163
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 5: When you got the other fifty two guys believing in

164
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 5: you and they believe in him, they'll go out there

165
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 5: and they'll play for him. That says something about a quarterback,

166
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 5: and that's that's a big thing. Like run game will

167
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 5: pick up past game, will pick up offensive line to

168
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 5: pick up because they want to play for him. And

169
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 5: that's the kind of quarterback he is. You can see

170
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 5: it on the film. They I think when he's been

171
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 5: in the game, they're undefeated.

172
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 6: Obviously are a different kind of quarterback, but this is

173
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 6: their offense change much when Gardener's in there, as compared

174
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 6: to w Wichard sends in the dark.

175
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 5: They I think the run game changes a little bit,

176
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 5: but he has enough moxie to be able to make

177
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 5: the runs. He's the athletic. He's not as athletic as are,

178
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 5: but he is a athletic quarterback and he can buy

179
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 5: time with his feet. He can run his own read.

180
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 5: He's able to make plays with his feet. But he

181
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 5: also is a veteran quarterback that knows where to go

182
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 5: with the ball. So I think the offense will stay

183
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 5: similar and they'll lean heavy on the running backs in

184
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 5: let the quarterback do what he does.

185
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 7: Running game Jonathan Taylor haven't seen a lot of them

186
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 7: this season, But how much do you have to prepare

187
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 7: for him?

188
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 3: He's a five star guy.

189
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 5: He's a guy that you have to account for whenever

190
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 5: he's on the field. You know that at any time

191
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 5: he can take a distance and lost the same way.

192
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 5: You know they have a I don't want to call

193
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 5: it a two headed monster, but they have two guys

194
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 5: back there that can can get it done. And you know,

195
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 5: we'll have to make sure we're gap sound and being

196
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 5: our gaps and try to sew it down as much

197
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 5: as we can.

198
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 6: Johnson in the lineup for a three Stamps this last week.

199
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 7: How big of a role you envisioned him working his

200
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 7: way into in the defense as a rookie.

201
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 5: I think it was good to get his first dose

202
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 5: of playing, and hopefully his role will continue.

203
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 3: It'll be a week to week thing.

204
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 5: We'll go in and we try to use our guys

205
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 5: and if we need three safeties four safeties at times.

206
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 5: And we got Devin coming back, so hopefully, you know,

207
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 5: we'll have a full plethora of guys to be able

208
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 5: to use and we'll just plug him in and try

209
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 5: to get the best out of anybody that's out there.

210
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,160

00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 5: he covered well, has good play speed, and you know

212
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:30,680

Speaker 3: How do you think he looks now now?

218
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,640

220
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:50,679

Speaker 5: getting back accustomed to playing football. It's uh, you know,

223
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 5: it's tough when you're unable to do what you'd love

224
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,360
