1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Does the fact that Buffalo McDermott said he's gonna play

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: his starters except for Josh, Like, of course, what does

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: that impact what you do at all?

4
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 2: No, how important is it for you to get to

5
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 2: see Jackson in game action. It's important to see and

6
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 2: all the guys in game action for a rookie quarterback.

7
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 2: I'm talking about it, and I know he's a rookie

8
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 2: quarterbaight who might not play. It doesn't look like he's

9
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 2: going to play, at least at the start of this year. Yeah. No,

10
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 2: it's important. It's important for all the young guys to

11
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 2: get out there and experience live action and NFL games.

12
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 2: It's their first one. Something they'll always remember. To these

13
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 2: young players, you know, we'll give them as many reps

14
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 2: as we can give them, and we'll see what he does.

15
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 2: He's good. Will he be out there today? He will be.

16
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 3: Is there any talk of doing joint practices with the Bills,

17
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 3: because I went back and looked and you always say like,

18
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 3: you need to have a working relationship with the coach,

19
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 3: trust each other, and obviously you and Buffalo go way back.

20
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 2: So yeah, I talked about this the other day. That's okay.

21
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: I think you're relate, but so no, no, we did.

22
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: The NFL does a lot of research practices before the

23
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: first game, practice before the second game, third game, so

24
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 2: on and so forth. And the reason why we didn't

25
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,559
Speaker 2: do it the first game is that's there's a higher

26
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: rate of injury with the studies that that they've done

27
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 2: and given us. So that's why we did it. We're

28
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 2: going to practice the second week. You got me to

29
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 2: repeat as Elik, he didn't participate in the second half

30
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: of the practice yesterday. Again with injuries, whoever's out there,

31
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 2: we'll be out there and the guys that aren't well

32
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: will be out there today. Yeah, you know, I don't

33
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 2: get in injuries right now, Jordan, do you want to

34
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: play him on Saturday? Is here a guy who you

35
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 2: want to see in game action or yeah? So the

36
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: guys that can play will play, and we'll decide that

37
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: after practice today, so you can play.

38
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: So you're saying you're planning to play the healthy players though.

39
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll make all those decisions after practice them. Yeah.

40
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: What as he goes into those kinds of decisions. I

41
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: know you said before you've had a plan, but for

42
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: you kind of what how do you try to figure

43
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: out how to downs out who needs rabs, who gets reps.

44
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 2: So do you want to be careful way? Yeah, we

45
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: just we do what we think is best for the team.

46
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: So we have meetings like we do after every Friday,

47
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 2: I know today's a Thursday, talk with the coaches, talk

48
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 2: with the medical staff, and then decide off the information

49
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 2: that we get. So there's no change from like regular season,

50
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: is what you're saying, like, no no difference or that

51
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: we're just focused on this week right here at this game.

52
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 2: How much do you see Maliks so or hear about

53
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 2: maliks to affected him when he's on the field. Again,

54
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: that's an injury question. So again, the guys that are

55
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: out there are going to participate and do everything they

56
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 2: can do.

57
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 4: Daves, you just mentioned a little while ago it's important

58
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 4: for young guys to point. So for the new rookies

59
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 4: who have absolutely no idea sure what it's like to

60
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 4: be in an NFL game, what do you tell them

61
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 4: to kind of even out their nerves and their stomach.

62
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. I had a meeting with those guys two days

63
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 2: ago and had a number of vets talk to them

64
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 2: about their first game that they played in a variety

65
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 2: of people. Maybe a guy in the second year, guy

66
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 2: that's played a long time. They gave him good messaging. Again,

67
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 2: football is football, But I think it's important for those

68
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 2: guys to hear from the guys that actually went out

69
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: there and played and remember their first game. Usually remember

70
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 2: your first game. You know it's a preseason game, and

71
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: they all delivered good messages the players that talked to them.

72
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: I know you're gonna do it best for the team,

73
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: and you're gonna decide after practice today. But with a

74
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: guy like Jackson, to Jeorde's point, who isn't in line

75
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: to start the season in the first line player, is

76
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: there any downside just playing him as much as possible

77
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: in the preseason or that you you know what I'm saying, Like,

78
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: is there too much you want to see him in

79
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: a smaller sample size?

80
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Look, as much as he can play

81
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 2: is good for all these young players to play. Again,

82
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 2: we'll do what we think is best relative to all

83
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: the quarterbacks in every position. Have an idea of how

84
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: long he'll play this game. But again we'll have practice

85
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 2: here and then we'll sit down and finalize.

86
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 3: It relative to the position battles and obviously right guard

87
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 3: and cornerback.

88
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 2: Two are the ones that come to mind.

89
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 3: Do the preseason reps get judged? How did those three

90
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 3: preseason games or two if they only play two get

91
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 3: weighted against?

92
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 2: Like whatever it is? Twenty practices, everything gets evaluated. But

93
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: when you're playing in a live game where you can tackle,

94
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 2: you can get hit, you see real live football, you

95
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: know out here. Was it a sack? Was it not

96
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: a sack? Was it a long run?

97
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 4: Was?

98
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 2: I mean, you don't really know. So they're important obviously.

99
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 2: Is it critical for you with a new quarterback? You

100
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 2: guys are you guys are keep on figuring out how

101
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: to ask No, I'm just I'm just one that's good.

102
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 2: See if we can get a different answers.

103
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 5: It is a critical with a new starting quarterback for

104
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 5: your starters to get significant preseason game action.

105
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 2: I'm not just about this week, just general one more time,

106
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 2: give it to me. No, No, I was thinking about

107
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 2: the way they asked the other ones.

108
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 5: Is it critical for your start, your starting offense with

109
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 5: a new quarterback to get significant game experience in the preseason.

110
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: I spent a lot of time on this looking at

111
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 2: a variety of teams, variety of coaches, how they've handled

112
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: the preseason if it had any direct impact on how

113
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 2: they started this season. Obviously we had a very good

114
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 2: start the last couple of years, so I've done a

115
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 2: lot of research on that. It's probably inconclusive. So I

116
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 2: think the best thing to do, after talking to some guys, is,

117
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 2: you know, do what you think your team needs. So

118
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: how many reps you know? Is there a sweet spot

119
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 2: of reps? I looked at that too, like, all right,

120
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 2: these starters on this team played on average thirty two

121
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,679
Speaker 2: plays in the preseason. The last three years these starters

122
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 2: only played six. So I think, you know, the most

123
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 2: important thing for us is to do what we think

124
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 2: is best for the team and the best for each

125
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 2: individual player. We'll talk about that tonight.

126
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 4: Russell's honestly, if Jackson on Saturday.

127
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 2: There you go, so okay, tweet that out there. Dan,

128
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 2: are there scenarios like situations that you want to see

129
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 2: him and that you maybe haven't seen him? Proud to Yeah,

130
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 2: we've I mean just live action, we've We've put him

131
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 2: in a lot of different situations and there's times in

132
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 2: the preseason that you can manufacture that for quarterbacks as well.

133
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 2: So maybe he doesn't get put in this situation. Necessarily

134
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 2: by the time, but you can orchestrate where you put

135
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 2: him in that situation even though the time really doesn't matter.

136
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 2: Tempo of the game, you know, give him a variety

137
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 2: of checks. It's pretty basic in the preseason. So you

138
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 2: know the biggest thing is for him to get out

139
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 2: there and just get the operation going. Get the call,

140
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 2: get in there, give the call, make sure things are

141
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: set before he snaps the ball. All the things that

142
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 2: you need to do to be an effective quarterback are

143
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: the procedural things first and foremost, and that'll be important

144
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 2: for him. Russell appears to be a you know, at

145
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 2: least from speaking to a big proponent of playing in

146
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 2: the preseason. How much input do you take from him

147
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 2: or about plati ask him about ye know about that

148
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 2: part of it. Yeah, we're going to do coaching staff wise,

149
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 2: what we think is best for the guys. So you know,

150
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 2: their job is to play and if they're ready to

151
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 2: play and we decide we're going to play them, we

152
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 2: think that's the best and that's that's what we're gonna do.

153
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 6: Ran Jackson's had some good days, some learning days when

154
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 6: he holds the ball too much. Why is he doing that?

155
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 6: Is that a concern at the stage.

156
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 2: Or is that just teach day for you? You can

157
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 2: you give me any examples.

158
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 6: It just seems like some of the plays when they

159
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 6: break down for him, he's not getting rid of the

160
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 6: ball at all.

161
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 2: Some of it's pretty good what he's doing. Yeah, some

162
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 2: of it is pretty good, because again, is he sacked

163
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: as he not sacked. There's plenty of plays where he's

164
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 2: holding it and making a good amount of loose plays

165
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,239
Speaker 2: which are hard to defend. In this league, you always

166
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 2: talk about defending the first play, and then when you

167
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: have mobile quarterbacks or guys that can do stuff with

168
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 2: their legs and their arm, that's the second play, which

169
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 2: is really God given talent for a lot of these

170
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: guys in this league, and a lot of the good

171
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 2: ones I are able to do that. So I don't

172
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 2: discourage that one bit. Are there times where you can

173
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 2: drop back and you're in the pocket and you're holding

174
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: and here comes the rush and you've got to make

175
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 2: a quicker decision on whether to throw it away use

176
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 2: an outlet scramble. But I think there's been a lot

177
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 2: of number of times throughout camp, and it'll be important

178
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 2: in the preseason to see how it unfolds where he's

179
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 2: buying time because he's able to buy time, or he's

180
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 2: able to scramble out of the pocket and keep the

181
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 2: play live and hold on to it a little bit longer.

182
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 2: And usually if a lot of times, what happens when

183
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,719
Speaker 2: you can do that is you can generate some big

184
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 2: plays that way too. You also have risk having some

185
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 2: negative plays, but it's when the pocket collapses and you

186
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 2: got to make a decision. You know the guy's on

187
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 2: you right now. So there's definitely some learning experiences with

188
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 2: that that'll be important in the preseason, but there's also

189
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 2: there's also a lot of good things that come from

190
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 2: that relative to scramble rules, loose plays, big plays down

191
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 2: the field that he's pretty good at. So he wanted

192
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: to use those instincts space absolutely two more, No more thanks.

193
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 2: I was waiting, Charlotte, I was waiting. It'll be a.

194
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 6: Few guys like Scat of Slaton, guys that we don't see.

195
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 6: Are they any like long term concern issues.

196
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 2: No,
