One eleven, Well, Calvert, 0:00:13.000 --> 0:00:17.040 def let's go, no overthinking, right, go play some ball. 0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:19.720 We'll play some football. It's an exciting time to be 0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:31.640 a Buffalo Bill and I'm a fan of the Buffalo Bills. Hey, everybody, 0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:34.320 and welcome to Week thirteen of The Sean McDermott Show, 0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:37.360 presented by Connors and Farrish, your workers comp attorney Sean, 0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:39.639 We've got to do things a little differently this week 0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:42.120 for the show, So thanks for joining us from your house. 0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:44.200 And by the way, how do you like working from home? 0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:49.800 That's a loaded question. I think there's some good to it, 0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:52.599 and there's some challenges, as we both know, and as 0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:55.960 I think most people would agree. I got my kids 0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:59.040 here trying to do remote school, and I'm here and 0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:01.000 we're all on the wife at the same time. So 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:03.600 that's been a challenge to say the least. But at 0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:04.800 the end of the day, we're gonna find a way 0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:08.920 to get it done. Yeah. Well, your team jumped out 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:10.760 to eight and three record with a win against the 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:13.840 Chargers this last week. He improved four and oh as 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:16.360 a head coach coming off your bye week as a 0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:19.240 head coach, how did you get your team back on 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:21.840 track after a week off? Well, I think you know 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:24.240 it starts with them having the right habits in the 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:27.160 off week. There, you know, they set themselves up for success. 0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:29.679 They came back ready to go and and ready to 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:31.840 have a good week of practice, and staff did a 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:35.000 great job shaping game plans that aren't too big. Sometimes 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:37.000 when you have that extra time as coaches, we find 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:39.280 a way to lose the game before it's even played 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:41.280 with with game plans that aren't the right side. So 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:42.720 I thought they did. They all did a great job. 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.440 But you got peppered with questions over the bye week 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:47.280 about what you were gonna do, and you said, you know, 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.200 you've admitted that you're gonna look at your heart, at 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:51.760 your offensive run game and your defense. You're both gonna 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:54.200 be points of emphasis during your bye week. Let's start 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:56.639 with your offense. You ran that came out against the Charges, 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:58.920 ran the bowl thirty times for a buck seventy two. 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:01.760 You average almost six yards that carry. You know, is 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:03.440 the running game fixed and what was the key to 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.120 making it come out and have a day like that? Uh? Yeah, 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:08.120 you know, I think I think it's improved. I don't 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:11.239 know that it's fixed, and it's it's it's an ongoing deal. 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.720 It's an every week and every play mindset. Right, If 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:15.560 you want to control the line of scrimmage, you can't 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:16.960 just do it one game, or you can't just do 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:20.520 it one place. So that's an ongoing mindset and attitude. 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:24.480 And we'll see how that plays out moving forward for us. Yeah, 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:25.799 and on the other side of the ball, you guys 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:27.800 held the chargers of just seventy six yards on the 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:32.160 ground the the the average just three point one seven 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:34.480 yards per carry. It's the lowest your defense is allowed 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.160 all year. What adjustments did you make to your run 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:40.680 defense and what do you think is the biggest factor 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:44.040 in its improvement. Well, it always starts up front, you know. 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:45.880 I know I sell like a broken record, but I 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:49.400 firmly believe that. And it's hard to play good defense 0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:51.160 if you don't have it up front. And our our 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:54.280 defensive line played their tails off. They play gap sound 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:57.080 and play with great hand violence at the point of attack, 0:02:57.120 --> 0:02:59.160 and and that the second and third level. I would 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:01.440 say the same. It takes all eleven to defend the 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:04.320 run and outside of two runs in particular that we're 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.000 really just poorly execution on our part. We did a 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:09.520 good job and we're pretty salty in the run game. 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.000 Good to see A big part of your running defense 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.679 was Aj Klein. He had another huge game and led 0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:17.480 the team with fourteen tackles and a sack and a half. 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.760 He had three tackles for loss. How big and an 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.560 impact has he been and how big of a relief 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:24.920 it has been has he been in the absence of 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:27.920 Matt Malana. Yeah? Huge and and not surprised. I mean 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.080 Aj just took him some time to get his feet 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:32.400 back underneath him in the new surroundings and into a 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.000 good rhythm. And that's where he is. He's in a 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:36.360 good rhythm. He's playing good ball, and he puts a 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:38.880 lot of time in He's extremely smart and I think 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.280 he helps us overall out there in terms of in 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.080 terms of the communication as well. You know, well, in 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:46.800 the fourth quarter, your offense began to turn the ball over, 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:48.960 but your defense kept bailing them out. And when it 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:51.880 was a seven point game, you got a huge interception 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.760 from Trey White And that's really the second time he's 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:57.240 had an interception in the fourth quarter this season. How 0:03:57.320 --> 0:03:59.680 much confidence you got in Trey your other leaders to 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:02.480 step up in big moments like that. Yeah, great to see. 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:05.960 And uh and I think our defense, in particular, to 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:10.120 your point, is developing that mindset of after Sun changed situations. 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:12.480 They're just really focused on on getting the stop they 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:14.800 need to get to do their part in the game. 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:17.240 And they're mentally tough group and I love how that's 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:20.640 growing as we've been through the season. Though, Josh had 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:22.640 a couple of the turnovers you guys suffered, and he 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.440 also had a passing touchdown, He had a rushing touchdown 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:28.480 um and he also got his leg twisted up had 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:31.040 to miss the play with an injury. Battled through that 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:32.880 led you guys to victor what you think of Josh 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:35.279 and how he's how he's doing coming down the stretch. Yeah, 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:38.599 he's He continues to impress and do some really good 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:41.360 things in his third year here, and I've just been 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:43.880 very happy with him. There's certainly plays he wants back, 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.440 and all of this continues to add to his resume 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:49.000 in terms of things he can he can do again 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.120 and things that he's done well and things that he 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:53.120 that he wants to improve on and I think he's 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:55.599 only going to get better. He's extremely smart, extremely tough, 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.240 works his tail off and and uh, you know, I 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:01.479 think again, how we continue to play complimentary will be 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:03.960 a big piece to how we do as an overall 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:08.000 football team. Coach Cole Beasley had his first touchdown pass 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.080 of his career and he threw it to Gabe Davis. 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:11.880 And a lot of fans talk about the players in 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.600 this situation, I wanted to talk to you about Brian Dable. 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:17.800 He's dialed all these plays up, his play selection has 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:21.080 been great. He's gotten kudos from fans and football people 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:23.919 alike for how he's handled Josh Allen and this offense. 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:28.240 Talk about his evolution as an offensive coordinator. Yeah, I mean, 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:31.240 I don't think there's any any substitute for experience and 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:33.560 whatever whatever role you're in, if you're if you're worth 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:37.120 your yours salt, you get better every year because because 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:39.560 you take it seriously, you're passionate about it, and you 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:42.120 continue to learn and grow. And that's true for all 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.400 of us, Brian in this case, and so he's added 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:46.080 to our staff in a lot of ways. I've learned 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:48.880 some things from him and it's a good kind of 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:51.919 staff harmony where we can iron can sharp and iron 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.520 as they say. And I think he's off to a 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:56.719 good start and he's got a good staff that that's 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:59.039 helping him out there. And so it's it's been fun 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:02.200 to watch. Well, you've got four primetime games in a 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:04.520 row coming up. You've got the Niners on this Monday night, 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:06.680 the Steelers on Sunday night the following week. Then you 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:09.200 got a Saturday game at four o'clock against Denver. Then 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:11.440 you've got a Monday night game again against the Patriots. 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:14.480 I mean, how is it with these these primetime games 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:17.200 in the in the unusual time slow it's different mindset 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.159 for your team or what will you change over the 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:21.200 next four weeks because you're playing in front of the 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:23.600 big stage. Yeah, I mean, I think it's two things. Hey, 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.320 I'm going to handle with my staff with the sports 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:29.600 science and stand in great communication with them, and our 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:31.920 strength and conditioning coaches and our trainers. I'm going to 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:33.839 handle that piece of it so our players and staff 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:35.600 don't have to worry about it. Then it's just hey, 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:37.440 let's let's just go out and play. You know, we're 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:39.200 at the point in the season now where we know 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:41.680 what the schedule is, we know when we're playing. Not 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:43.760 one week is going to be the same basically as 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.040 we come up here. So we just that's that's what 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:47.760 we're scheduled to do, that's where we play, that's how 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:49.360 we do it. And so I know that's how your 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:51.760 teams did it back in the day, and that's that's 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.520 the same mentality we're trying to embrace. Coach, Thanks for that. 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:56.159 We'll catch up with you later in the show to 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:58.520 get your final thoughts on your upcoming matchup with the 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:05.480 forty nine Ers. Shopping Wood is presented by Saint Bonaventure University, 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:12.560 the official education provider of the Buffalo Bills. Welcome back 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:14.960 to the Sean McDermot Show. It's time to break down 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.560 the film and another edition of Chopping Wood with our 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:20.400 good friend Eric Wood. Eric Seawan McDermott said he wanted 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:22.920 to fix the run game during the bye week, and 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:24.760 they came out and ran for one hundred and seventy 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:27.720 two yards against the Chargers. What adjustments did you see 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:30.080 from the Bills had led to their success on the ground. 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:33.160 I really liked the way they mixed up looks throughout 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:36.640 the game and what they were giving the Chargers. They 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.480 used Zack Moss, they used Devin Singletary, and when they 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:41.960 needed to, they got back to some Josh Allen runs, 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:45.600 which may be a sign that he's fully healthy again. 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:48.640 And I also liked that early on, when the pass 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:51.960 rush was getting home to Josh Allen, they switched and 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:55.800 worked in a bunch more screens and draws. Well, let's 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.920 start by looking at how the Bills used Devin Singletary, 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:02.120 who had over one scrimmage yards. The screen game is 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:03.840 an extension of the run game, as you know, so 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:06.480 let's take a look at his fourteen yards screen pass 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:10.120 from the Bill's second touchdown drive to the game. Screens 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:12.559 can be a great way to neutralize the pass rush, 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:15.200 and here the Chargers bring a blitz and the Bills 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.960 have another timely screen called We've seen him a bunch 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:20.320 this year on third downs to wide receivers. This time 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:22.720 they get one to Devin Singletary. He does a great 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:26.280 job getting behind his blockers. These athletic offensive line making 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:28.520 gets down the field and get blocks, and this one 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:32.160 is executed perfectly. And then two plays later they ran 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.760 a draw that went for twenty one yards. Yeah. So 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:36.840 on this play, Deon Dokins does a great job of 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.960 using the defensive end who's in a pass rush mode 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:43.280 to use his momentum against him. The rest of the 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:46.440 line does a great job. Devin Singletary is phenomenal in space, 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:50.200 he always has been, and these draw plays moving forward 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.960 could be a great asset for this offense. And I 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:54.880 gotta give a shout out to my boy. Deon Dokins 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:57.920 actually made two blocks on that play, that's right. So 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:00.880 they got Devin Singletary going, and they also got some 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:05.400 designed runs with Josh Allen. So here's an eleven yard 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:08.600 run on a draw from the field goal drive right 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.080 before the half. We saw these a bunch early in 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.920 the season. Josh heard his shoulder and we didn't see 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:16.200 them for a while, and now we're seeing more of 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:19.160 these designed quarterback runs for Josh Allen, especially in the 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:23.160 red zone when the safeties can play down lower because 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:26.440 the back of the field obviously didn't that far. You 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:29.640 add another blocker with the running back in these QB 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.720 draws can be extremely effective. And then the Bills come 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.840 out in the second half, march down the field and 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:38.640 get into a second and goal situation. From the three 0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:41.560 and decide to run read option here. So Bills have 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:44.600 shown so many different looks in so many different ways 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:46.959 to score in the red zone this year, which is 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.480 a great sign from their offensive coordinator Brian day Ball, 0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:51.640 and here they run a simple read option. These plays 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:54.920 can be extremely effective. Quarterbacks often like to keep these 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:57.560 in these situations and get the ball in the ends 0:09:57.600 --> 0:10:00.800 on themselves. But on the outside you have a great 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:04.480 block at receiver Bostefon Diggs who comes in and gets 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:08.040 just enough. And then Josh Allen uses athleticism to beat 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:11.000 the Chargers defense of the pile on jumping ahead here 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:14.000 to the fourth quarter, the Bills get the ball back 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.520 after the Tray White pick and they hand it off 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:19.840 to Zack Moss who rips off a thirty one yarder. Yeah, 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.640 the Bills go with a tight condense formation here just 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:25.400 so that there's gonna be no free hitters. There's gonna 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:27.520 be no one that can get penetration. They use two 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:30.280 double teams at the point of attack to move guys 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.840 off the line of scrimmage, and Zach Moss does a 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:36.400 great job of finding the hole and then exploding once 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:39.240 he does, making a playoff the field and just a 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:42.000 shame that this little ticky tack penalty got caught at 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:44.400 the end. Yeah, I did not like that either. They 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:46.920 got a penalty on that one for a celebration, and 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:51.080 on the next play, Singletary broke off another long one 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.760 to set up the game clinching field goal. This one 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:56.480 goes for twenty four yards. Yeah. So this is a 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.360 pin and pool scheme. So what that means is the 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:02.520 front side blockers Dion Dawkins and Lee Smith are going 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:05.960 to try and pin their guys and then Feliciano and 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:08.600 Morse are gonna pull around and get out in front. 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:10.800 We saw these plays a bunch last year and the 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:14.480 Bills were extremely effective using it. Here, Mitch Morris and 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:18.480 John Feliciano show off their athleticism. Feliciano has a great 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:21.840 block on Joey Bisa. Mitch Morse help secure it gets 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:25.240 to the second level, gets a block. That's excellent execution 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:27.600 in a situation one of the chargers assume you're running 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:30.360 the football. Anyways, it was great to see the Bills 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:34.040 get that run game going their best rushing performance of 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:36.679 the season. They're going to need it for the playoff push. 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:40.000 Here in December. Thanks for all the inside Eric Absolutely 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:43.840 thanks Chris Maddie glab Here was this week's game preview. 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:46.280 The eight and three Buffalo Bills are heading west to 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:48.880 take on the five and six San Francisco forty nine Ers. 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:51.440 The game won't be played at Levi's Stadium due to 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:54.880 Santa Clair County COVID restrictions, so the Bills will head 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:58.000 back to State Farm Stadium for their second straight road trip, 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:00.360 making it the second year in a row they have 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:03.480 played multiple away games in the same stadium. The forty 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:05.679 nine Ers have been hit hard with the injury bug, 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:09.199 but that hasn't completely shut them down. Their offense ranks 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:12.839 fourteenth overall, averaging about three hundred and sixty three yards 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:16.640 per game. Receivers Deebo Samuel and rookie Brandon Aiyuk have 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:20.000 combined for sixty two receptions and seven hundred and sixty 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:23.560 four receiving yards. Buffalo Bills are searching for their first 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:26.800 Monday Night football win in this century. The last time 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:28.960 the Bills won a Monday night football game was in 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:33.160 nineteen ninety nine. The Bills offense ranks tenth, averaging twenty 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:35.880 seven point two points per game. They have the second 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:39.400 best third down conversion rate at forty nine point six percent. 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:42.800 Quarterback Josh Allen is averaging two hundred and seventy five 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:45.440 passing yards a game, good for eighth in the NFL. 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:48.720 The Bills defense ranks twenty first, allowing three hundred and 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:51.840 seventy three yards per game. Since Week seven, the Bills 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:55.520 defense has combined for twenty nine sacks and takeaways, which 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:58.360 is second most in the NFL. The Bills split even 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:01.760 with the forty nine ers at six. That's this week's 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:08.679 game preview, Steve, back to you. Thanks as always, Maddie coach. 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:12.160 The NFL took preventative measures during the early parts of 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:14.400 the week that closed down all the facilities Monday and 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:16.600 Tuesday except for the teams that we're playing on Monday 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.120 and Tuesday. Now they move your game to Arizona. How 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:21.679 does that impact your preparation process? Does having the game 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:26.200 in Arizona giving any chance to maybe erase those memories 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:29.000 from the hail murray that doomed you last time you 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:33.320 were in that stadium. You're funny, Steve. Now listen, We're 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:34.880 going to play a game at the end of the day. 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:36.880 It's a home game. For San Francisco. It's an away 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:39.240 game for the Buffalo Bills, and we're gonna go play 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:41.840 a game, and we're excited about it and looking forward 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:43.760 to all we could practice. Yeah, you've got the forty 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:46.120 nine ers. They've battled injuries all year, but still they 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:48.640 managed to beat the Rams with Nick Mullins at quarterback. 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:50.280 What do you see from the forty nine ers and 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:53.559 how they've overcome their obstacles and their injuries. Yeah, you know, 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:55.400 similar to a lot of the teams out there. You know, 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.200 they've had a number of injuries. We've had a number 0:13:57.200 --> 0:14:00.720 of injuries, and you play the guys that are available. 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:03.760 And I think Kyle Shanahan does as good a job 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:05.880 as anyone in the NFL. He's a great coach. This 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:09.560 team is fresh off of the Super Bowl appearance last year, 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:12.480 and we're within a whisker of winning the game and 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:15.160 being world champions. So he's done a phenomenal job. Yeah, 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:17.320 this is going to be your second game as head 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:19.680 coach on Monday Night football? Does that hold any special 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.240 meaning for you? You know, I'm always honored anytime I 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:25.560 can go out there, and you know, coaching this league 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:27.840 in particular as a head coach and lead a group 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:30.040 of men and women out on the field. But outside 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:32.040 of that, I really want to be focused on our 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:35.000 quality of play and my quality of coaching, and you know, 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:37.600 us improving as we continue to go here. Thanks for 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.320 all this, coach, and good luck this week against San Francisco. 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:42.520 We're gonna be back next week to recap your game 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:46.280 against the forty nine Ers and preview your Week fourteen 0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:49.400 matchup against the Steelers. Thanks for spending some time with us, 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:51.880 and thank you everybody at home for watching.
