1 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: All right, we're back into division here and um Buffalos 2 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: uh I certainly had a good good year. We've got 3 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,719 Speaker 1: a good football team, you know, do do a lot 4 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,079 Speaker 1: of things. Well, it's reflected by their record and in 5 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: the way they played and press it win UM against Pittsburgh, 6 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: certainly against Dallas on on a short week down there 7 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: and Thanksgiving, um came down to let's play against the Ravens. 8 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: So they have a good pretty good offense, good defense, 9 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: goodnes kicking game. UM. You know, a lot to get 10 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,239 Speaker 1: ready for some carry over from the first game, but 11 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: that was a long time ago, and there's quite a few, 12 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: say differences between now and then. Some players we hadn't 13 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,879 Speaker 1: seen or didn't see them that we'll probably see now, 14 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: Um Singletary you know, or if Knox Cross and so forth. 15 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: So that would be a big, big challenge for us 16 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: here and hopefully it was a good week. And be 17 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: ready to go if you have a questions or calling 18 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: my priest today you're in the field house, which is unusual? 19 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 1: Is that more? How does the field house help you 20 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: get accomplish what you want to get accomplished today versus outside. 21 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 1: I went a little different schedule this week because of them. No, 22 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: I wouldn't practice on Tuesday, so two days after the game, 23 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: but I feel like that was the best thing to 24 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: do this week. So that's what we're doing, just where 25 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: it's so unusual that you're in there, like that's that 26 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 1: facility to service purpose for you, Like could you envision 27 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: yourself without it? I guess, I mean, I know not 28 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: every team has anywhere that sort of deep curiosity. Yeah, 29 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: for what we're doing today, it's the way plan on 30 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: doing it anyway. Okay, we've had a number of big 31 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: special teams plays to shore a black et cetera. Is 32 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: it kind of kind of feed them itself and you 33 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: guys get even more fired up about being a part 34 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: of that. Okay, Okay, I think we have a lot 35 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: of confidence in that unit. Yeah, we've missed a few 36 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: and then missed one. Missed probably three or four, missed 37 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: one last week. So we'll just keep working on it. 38 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: And there's you know, there's always tough play offensively or 39 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: for the punt team. Everyone to look at it. You know, 40 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: it's execute and protect and you know, get it off 41 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: cleanly and still have a really good punt. So there's 42 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: something to be said for putting pressure on the specialists there, 43 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: but also returned them too, So it's definitely a place 44 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: are both was. We'll keep working on all of it. 45 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: It's all all part of it, all tied in together. 46 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 1: Aren't you already we'd sort of strive. Have you seen 47 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: Josh Allen take? Can you saw him? Whatever? Was late 48 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: September one? I told to now, Yeah, it's good. Then 49 00:02:50,840 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: he's good. Now you're making it that improved. There's a 50 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: good decision they have the one. Jake Baba, Yeah, how good? 51 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: Henry Kep, Well, you talked yesterday about how you've been 52 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: able to rotate your quarterbacks this year. Um, is it 53 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: is there with sort of that diversity of skill sets 54 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: that you have with that position? Is there any similarity 55 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: to kind of like what you guys have done at 56 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: running back where you get to use those guys situational 57 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: you need to really highlight you know, there are different 58 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: skill sets. Yeah, we haven't used them too much situationally, 59 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: it's just been more of them. We have good players 60 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: and let them all play. It's kind of like that 61 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: outside linebacker, um running back. So there's positions where we 62 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: have good depth and sometimes it's a certain certain situation 63 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: the one player over another. But thinking a lot of 64 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: these cases, they're just they can play in all situations, 65 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: so we just rotated a little bit and put them 66 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: in there. Cool. But what is Devin singletary given their 67 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: offense from what you see him even play against you 68 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: guys back before you set a good quickness. Um, he's 69 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: in there on all downs. He's got some speed to 70 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 1: the outside, good quickness to make guys miss. It's involved 71 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: in the passing games, good twenty some catches, whatever it is. 72 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:38,559 Speaker 1: So it's three down player Andrew calling bill So sorry. 73 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: So you know when they've been going no huddle, which 74 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: they've done that in some games, then certainly it benefits 75 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: you to have the same back on the field and 76 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: not have to not have to sub backs, you know, 77 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 1: and situationally, so he's given that. I don't know if 78 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: that's the reason or not, but that's just the way 79 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 1: it's worked out. Sorry. I'm curious when understanding every defensive 80 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 1: back is different, is there much room to develop ball 81 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: skills specifically as a skill wants a player enters your programmers, 82 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: as it might be a little bit more neat than 83 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: you can actually develop. I think you can definitely improve 84 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: it yeah, and we we always work on that. I mean, look, 85 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: it's it's a hard position for defensive back to be in. 86 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: You know, they don't get many chances at the ball. 87 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: They're never the intended receiver, so a lot of the 88 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: catches they have to make are balls that are really 89 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: not thrown to them. They have to go and get 90 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: and make a tough catch on and all that. That's 91 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: that's part of being a defensive player. You know, you're 92 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: you're not the receiver, you're the defender. So um, you 93 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: know you have to work on that. Certainly, I think 94 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: you can work on and improve it. Some guys have 95 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: more natural instincts ball skills than others, Like trying to 96 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: make a slow player fast, and you're never gonna make 97 00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: a slow player the fastest guy on the team, but 98 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: you can improve it speed. So some guys, you know, 99 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: have good ball skills and they can become elite. Some 100 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: guys have not good ball skills and hopefully they can 101 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: become better as you're working on that. Is it more 102 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: just trying to get guys more opportunity in phase to 103 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 1: give them more chances to be in that position or 104 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: if you will be in that position, and kind of work, 105 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: and then just your kind of technique or approach from 106 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: once you're in the position to make a play, I 107 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: won't think all of the both some of us, some 108 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 1: of us putting yourself in position and make a play, 109 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: and then there's the element of actually finishing the play, 110 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: making a catch, looking the ball into your hands and 111 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 1: so forth. But depend on what the coverage is and 112 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: what your relationship is with a receiver, and how fast 113 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: the two players are moving or at the speed. If 114 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: there's a change in speed, then that indicates that indicates 115 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: something as well. And so based on all those things, 116 00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: the defender reacts a little bit differently or should react 117 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: a little bit differently, and so you just kind of 118 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: keep repping those things over and over again until they 119 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: become instinctive and reactive. You don't really think about it, 120 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: and something happens and you do it and do the 121 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: right thing, and hopefully that puts you imposition to play 122 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: the ball. Okay, mal costs increasing too. We've ever read 123 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: it's one you want to help, it's allowing him to 124 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: take on ever rule, it's it's worked out that way. 125 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: We've had in the last few weeks, I've had been 126 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: and I'm Matt kind of split in the role a 127 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: little bit. You know, Ben's been involved in the more 128 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: passing situations and Matt in the running situations. But they 129 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: can do both, and they have done both, and I 130 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: could change a little bit from week to week by 131 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: game plan, so we'll see how it goes. But it's 132 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: more earthly down situations in our third down situations, so 133 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: that if you do it that way you depict play 134 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: time is almost always gonna you know, break that way. 135 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: What's allowing Treaties wait to generate so many takeaways this season? Oh, 136 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: he's had him in the past. He's he's a good player, 137 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: and he's quick, he's fast, he's got good instincts, good 138 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: ball skills, so you know he's around the ball, and 139 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: he's got good hands to finish and make the play. 140 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: Good awareness. The question, well, um, so, I'm just curious. 141 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: We've we've seen Tom obviously on and off the injury report. 142 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm wondering how the other quarterbacks that are 143 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: on the roster have handled um practice, if Tom has 144 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: had to miss anytime. Um, how has Jared worked in 145 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: his first year in Cody. I'm sure it's part of 146 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: that equation too. Yeah, those guys are always ready to 147 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:55,319 Speaker 1: go and UM's it's an opportunity for them. Um. You know, 148 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: it's hard to practice three quarterbacks, but um, and there've 149 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: been a couple of exams for Tom hasn't been able 150 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: to do a lot this year, so that's given still 151 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: an opportunity to go with the first group and you know, 152 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: run our plays and run our offense and that's been 153 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: good for him. And it's given Cody an opportunity to 154 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: run more scout team plays because Jared's not taking those. 155 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,559 Speaker 1: So it's you know, and again quarterbacks are always looking 156 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: for more work, so that's they've taken advantage of it. 157 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: I think it's it's helped. I mean, you don't always 158 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: want to do it that way. Sometimes it's best to 159 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: do things that way, and that's that's good for everybody. 160 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: Um So, but you know, we want everybody out there 161 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: as healthy as they can be, so that's ultimately the goal, 162 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,959 Speaker 1: but it's not always that way, and certainly a lot 163 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:49,359 Speaker 1: that's a better scenario than having just one just two quarterbacks, 164 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: so that then one guy has to take everything, not 165 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: that he can't take it. It's a national football league, 166 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: but um, you know, mentally, going from a defensive period 167 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 1: to an offensive period to a defensive perio an offensive 168 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 1: period not really the best. You know, it's not as 169 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: conducive to high level of execution in either one. So 170 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: but sometimes that's what it is, and so you have 171 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: to adjust. Can you get a good sense from how 172 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: can you get a good sense of where yards at? 173 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: By how the team sponsor from those practice situations, we 174 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: can value short, we can evaluate everything he does. That's 175 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: what we do. Yeah, we evaluate it exactly midras and 176 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: just to build off the topics. Sometimes on the road 177 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: games and even we've seen Nick working at Kobe before 178 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: the game. I don't even know if you're familiar with that, 179 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 1: but happen. What is Nick done to help totally in 180 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: terms of that extra work field, you should see how 181 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: in the game feel right well, you know mix, I 182 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: mean when you have two quarterbacks at two different levels 183 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: from where Tom and Jared or Tom and Cody are 184 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: relative to it were all experienced or certainly experienced within 185 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: our system. Neither neither Cody or Jared have very much. 186 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of things that need to you 187 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 1: need to go over with them that honestly you've probably 188 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: been over with Tom four hundred times, so trying to 189 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: be a little more efficient with it, work with those guys. 190 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: And Jared's been here a little longer than Cody has, 191 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: but at the same time, you know he can, you know, 192 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: use the the review or the maybe it's another some 193 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 1: finer points that didn't get covered the first two or 194 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: three times. Maybe something comes up the next time based 195 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: on an experience or a situation or something that's happened 196 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: on that play or in that in that scenario that 197 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: wasn't talked about earlier that you know, brings up a 198 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,839 Speaker 1: question or another coaching point. So you's trying to work 199 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: with all players, young players. It's like that at every position. Honestly, 200 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: there's guys at every position that have a lot of 201 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: experience and there's guys at that position that don't have 202 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: very much. And you don't want to talk down to 203 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: the guys that have a lot of experience, and you 204 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: don't want to talk about the guys that really don't 205 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: know what you're talking about. So there's times you have 206 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:22,199 Speaker 1: to try to as a teacher breaks that thanks great, okay, yeah, 207 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: thank you.
