1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,760 Speaker 1: Brand them in your history here when you've played a 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: team as close to you're going to play the bill. 3 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: So I have you know, December sixth to December twenty 4 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: six what what has stood out to you just about 5 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: what that second meeting means relative to the first? Uh, 6 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: you know you know the the team well obviously I 7 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: mean just played them. Um, you know you obviously look 8 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: at the first game and see how that went. This 9 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 1: is a pretty unique situation given the conditions in the 10 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: first game. Um, we'll see if we get on Sunday. 11 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: But um, that's that makes us one kind of unique. Yeah. 12 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: I don't know every you know, every game's different. Um, 13 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: can't count on anything. I can't really say, you know, 14 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: this happened in the first game, so they're gonna want 15 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: to do that again, or this happened so they you know, 16 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: so they won't run that again. You know, you kind 17 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: of have to in a way approach a bit of 18 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 1: clean slate so you don't get caught up in something 19 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: like that and miss something in your preparation. Next question, 20 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: Andrew Callahan, Hey, Brian, it's good to talk with you. 21 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: M kind of sticking with that same topic. I mean, 22 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: we know how the conditions obviously affected your offensive plan 23 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 1: that night. When you look back at the tape from 24 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: what they were doing offensively, you know how much of 25 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: that tape is useful now in terms of projecting what 26 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: they'll do next. Do you feel like you know some 27 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: part of their game plan was affected by the wind? Yeah, 28 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,559 Speaker 1: you know, you can't can't know for sure exactly how 29 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: the weather affected their play calling. You can just kind 30 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: of watch the tape and I know what they ran, 31 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: and you know what direction they were going, But um, 32 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: you know how much of it will carry over? It's 33 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: hard to It's hard to say. Um, So, like I 34 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 1: was saying, you kind of kind of have to assume 35 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: nothing and you know, just go into it with a 36 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: new fresh slate of preparation. You watch the game. Obviously 37 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: there's takeaways from the game, Um, just like there's takeaways 38 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: from you know, the Indie game and every other game. 39 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: You know that they're watching that film. We're watching the 40 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: games between, um, between the last Buffalo game and and 41 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: you know their games against Tampa and Carolina. You know, 42 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: we're watching the games before the first game. You know, 43 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: there's they have a lot of stuff in their offense. So, um, 44 00:02:51,440 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: there's a lot, a lot to get ready for. Hey, Brian, uh, 45 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,839 Speaker 1: kind of along those lines, Dawson Knox has had a 46 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: really productive season for the Bills, but you know, given 47 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,399 Speaker 1: the conditions two weeks ago and three weeks ago, people 48 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: didn't really get to see the full Dawson Knox. What 49 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: do you see from him when you when you watch 50 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: him on tape and audio? How do you kind of 51 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: neutralize this guy like that? Yeah, a really good complete 52 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:26,679 Speaker 1: tight end um who causes problems in the past game. 53 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: He's a great receiver out there, but it's also an 54 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: every down tight end. Plays a ton of football in 55 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: the run game, pass game, everything. So a really good 56 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: complete player at the position. And you know, we'll have 57 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: her hands full last week, just like every team who 58 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: has to has to go against him. Thanks and any 59 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: other and Tommy Sweeney as well. He's another good player 60 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: the position for him. Sorry, Brian, Next question, Bob Spicy, 61 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: Thanks Stephanie, Good morning, Brian. Along those lines of Gabriel 62 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: Davis obviously had the touchdown catch and he was the 63 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: target on the final play in the game at Orchard Park, 64 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 1: and he and Alan who developed quite a chemistry. A 65 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: good game on Sunday, against Caroline. What have you seen 66 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: in terms of his involvement in their offense over the 67 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: course the last four or five weeks. Yeah, he's uh, 68 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 1: you know, even going back to last year and you 69 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: know him first cat to the offense. You know, they 70 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: ran some four wire receiver stuff to get him on 71 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: the field and that was productive and they you know, 72 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: got him on the field that way. And then as 73 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: he's progressed, you know, they still run that stuff. They 74 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: have a lot of good receivers, but they also just 75 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: sum them in one you know, less receiver sets and 76 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: he's been productive as well. So um, you know it's 77 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: a good player obviously has great size for the position, 78 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: physical um, but gets in his breaks UM and has 79 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: you know developed more of a savvy you know, route running, UM, 80 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: getting open, catching the ball, M and H. Regarding Allen, 81 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: I had a quick follow up when you when you 82 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: look at the table of the last two games for them, 83 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: is there much you can glean in terms of how 84 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 1: much you ran against Tampa Bay uh In you know 85 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: the sess he had a long run against Carolina because 86 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,239 Speaker 1: stylistically those defenses, uh, you know play a little bit differently, 87 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: you know, like uh In in Uh, you know the 88 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: Carolina game, the speed of the Panthers and they're over 89 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: pursuit of times worked against them when you when you, 90 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: I guess breakdown the last two games. Can how much 91 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: of that can you use? You know? And anticipating what 92 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: you're gonna see from Alan in the Running Game this week, Yeah, 93 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I think, Um, you know you mentioned 94 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: the speed of Carolina Tampa, Tampa's guilt of speed too. Um, 95 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 1: but I think it's you know, Dave Ball is a 96 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 1: great game planner, Um, great cordinaire who gives you a 97 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: lot to think about, and you don't know, you know 98 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: what the feature part of the plan is going to be. Um, 99 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: you know if Alan's gonna be featured in the Run 100 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: Game a lot or or not. Um, but we we 101 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: know he's you know, he's a great runner. Um. We 102 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: saw that plenty against us unfortunately. UM, so we're you know, 103 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: obviously going to be ready for it. I got to 104 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: bring down.

And fortunately he stayed 125 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: on it enough that when he did get out there, 126 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: he um, he played fast and you know, he showed 127 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: that he could he could hang out there and that 128 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: was that was encouraging.
