1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: Hi, guys, Sorry about that. Try to get through to

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: walk through there you go, Hi here like you and your.

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 2: Team Sunday night. Do you enjoy primetime spotlight?

4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 3: I think if you want to be if you want

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 3: to get to where you want to get to, I

6
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 3: think you're you know, you certainly better enjoy it, better

7
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 3: enjoy playing in primetime games. And that's something that you know,

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 3: we're we're trying to prepare for right now, and so

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 3: I think that certainly it'll be a huge challenge. You know,

10
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 3: the last time they lost at home was you know,

11
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 3: fourteen games ago, and we're we're well aware of that

12
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 3: and have to do a lot of really good things

13
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 3: to give ourselves a chance.

14
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: And they playing good football there, playing clean football.

15
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 3: They're not beating themselves, and you know, they're doing a

16
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 3: nice job in all phases you.

17
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 4: Faced off a Josh lived the first five years in

18
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 4: his career, his development from you know, year one to

19
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 4: then when you saw him here three to five, How

20
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 4: impressive was that? Is there anything you or anyone else

21
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 4: can take away from humping from him as.

22
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 3: A player, Well, I mean, I think he realized that

23
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 3: he's got immense talent, and I think he has done

24
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 3: a much greater job, better job of taking care of

25
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 3: the football, And really that's been the the big difference

26
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 3: for for me just watching it from afar. You know,

27
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 3: a few years ago I was forcing things in the

28
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 3: red zone and that led to some turnovers, some some interceptions,

29
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 3: and now I think he just has a greater understanding of,

30
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 3: you know, taking care of football in those situations.

31
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: And and they're still scoring touchdowns.

32
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 4: Do you have an update on John to Buy?

33
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: You expects him to be out there this fet I

34
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: expect them to practice.

35
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I don't have an update on the game,

36
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 3: but he will return to play in practice.

37
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: You find that ballot you're trying to defend a quarterback playing.

38
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 4: Josh challenge, if you want to get after you want

39
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 4: to have the kind of the kind of criticy the

40
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 4: fronts one got.

41
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 3: Well, there's always going to be an extra gap in

42
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 3: there unless you send two guys right, So there's a

43
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 3: gap somewhere in there. If you rush four, there's a

44
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 3: gap in there if you rush five. And but but

45
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 3: again I think that it's just good coordinated, relentless coordinated rush.

46
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: You know, even when he guys are free, he makes

47
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: a mess.

48
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 3: He spins, or he'll extend you know, out past the

49
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 3: numbers to the red line and continue to make plays

50
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 3: down the field, or heav't forbid, he scrambles up the

51
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 3: middle and you know, makes a move on a guy

52
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 3: like he's done in the past in the last couple.

53
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: Of weeks, or or breaks the stiff arm out.

54
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 3: So again it's a huge challenge, you know, anytime that

55
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 3: he's carrying the football, and then obviously the accuracy and

56
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 3: kind of the timing that he's had throwing the football

57
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 3: will be something that will have to work on.

58
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 4: James cooking this buffle run game to have so much success,

59
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 4: and we're the key to try to get pay.

60
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 3: Them this way because he's a good player. They got

61
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 3: good guys blocking for him. The tight ends have done

62
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 3: a really nice job. And then I think his vision

63
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 3: and his patience and burst he just everybody's at the

64
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 3: point of attack. He runs where you're not and if

65
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 3: you have bad discipline or you don't chase your gap

66
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 3: when it's moving away from you, he's going.

67
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: To come back and find it.

68
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 3: So it's really been a nice back for him, and

69
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 3: it's just you know, taking care of the football with

70
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 3: the with the amount of carries that he's had.

71
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 4: You seem to embrace the heavy personnel with him anybody

72
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 4: Last yearization offensive linement. This year they're using pause serving

73
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 4: that role. But it's on twenty two I think yeah.

74
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 4: Late average is three free snaps a game for twenty

75
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 4: two personnel and they're in the thirteen fourteen rings. What

76
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 4: certain challenges episode for you?

77
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 3: Guess, well, not only the twenty two personnel, the thirteen

78
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 3: personnel that you know, those are basically the heavier personnels.

79
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 3: They do a nice job of having a run plan

80
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 3: each week out of it that they like and that

81
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 3: they think is going to give them success, but then

82
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 3: also still having the ability to keep the route integrity

83
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 3: and running some of the stuff out of that with

84
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 3: with Kincaid and Knocks, and being able to do all

85
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 3: those things that they would do out of other personnel groups.

86
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: It seems as if with Josh Allen, the Bills embraced

87
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 2: really quickly the notion today he's gonna run, it's gonna

88
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 2: make mistakes, it's.

89
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: Gonna be a little bit of a web steal, and

90
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: let's do that.

91
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 2: So he's now come out the other side of it

92
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 2: with Braff. You guys are very much stressed. Let's seemed

93
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 2: to be a passive for us. Do you anticipate both

94
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 2: a course of time that he would become more of

95
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 2: a potent runner and embracing it the way that Allen does.

96
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if I necessarily agree with that.

97
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 3: I think that we want Drake to play quarterback, and

98
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 3: that's to work the progression and work the scheme of

99
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 3: the play. And then you know, I have never said

100
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 3: not to to run and just to protect himself and

101
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 3: to protect the ball, So I don't necessarily agree with that,

102
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 3: you know. And then you know, with Josh Allen, I

103
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 3: think everybody he's gonna play quarterback. How he feels like

104
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 3: he gives him the best chance to win and you know,

105
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 3: lead his team to.

106
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: Victory each week, which has been pretty successful.

107
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 2: Athletic skill set, the size the steam howl he uses,

108
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 2: it's like narrow rothis he's Biggerly.

109
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 3: Not into comparisons. I think that he's a very very

110
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 3: good athlete. I think he loves football, and I think

111
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 3: he's got an energy to him and and there's a

112
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 3: willingness to run certainly contact courage doesn't lack any of that.

113
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 3: You know, It's like wildcat when they when they choose

114
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 3: to to run him on design runs.

115
00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: Without getting into the one for one comparison.

116
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 4: Is his skill set. It's difficult to defend, as maybe

117
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:05,679
Speaker 4: any other quarterback you played.

118
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 3: Or coaches will be this week. It'll be the toughest

119
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 3: challenge this week. But again is the reason that he's

120
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 3: up there in the MVP every year and that his

121
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 3: teams are very successful.

122
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: Got a lot of respect for him and he knows

123
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: that with.

124
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 2: Four games under your belt.

125
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 3: Now, how far along do you feel like you are

126
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 3: in identifying the consistent strengths of the team week to week.

127
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: And is it kind of where you expect it to be.

128
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 3: I didn't really have many expectations, just because you never

129
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 3: really know. I think we're just trying to do it

130
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 3: each and every week and we have to continue to

131
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 3: build that and practice that. But it's a good reminder

132
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 3: of that when we can do those things, that we

133
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 3: can have success and we give ourselves a chance to win. Like,

134
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 3: just picking back a little bit when Karen was asking

135
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 3: about it being a big moment in the spotlight on

136
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 3: a Sunday.

137
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: Night, do you relish the opportunity to go into a

138
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: place like Buffalo where they've had so much success and

139
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: they crowded into Sure, I mean, I think you have to. One.

140
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: We don't have any other choice. But I think you

141
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: have to.

142
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 3: And I think it's important that we can take the

143
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 3: next step and show that we are ready and that

144
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 3: maybe some of our identity has a chance to let

145
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 3: itself out on Sunday night. And but it'll be a

146
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 3: great challenge. It'd be a challenge to even just prepare

147
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 3: today and get going and focus on all those things

148
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 3: that are going to help us in the road environment.

149
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: Historically, Todd down he's in a lot of work in

150
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: the red zone. For the other teams you work with,

151
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: Where has his work shown up there for you guys,

152
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: if at all same? You know what I mean, it's

153
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: the same, You know what I mean.

154
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 3: I like to go in and talk with with Todd

155
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 3: and Thomas and get some preliminary thoughts and some things

156
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 3: that we may like and then be able to present

157
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 3: it to Josh as we work through the week. So

158
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 3: you know, those guys are as involved as they always

159
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 3: have been.

160
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 4: You assess your depth safety and if you needed to

161
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 4: tap into that, anyone in that corner room that might

162
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 4: have some flexibility to.

163
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: Play back there.

164
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 3: I don't I haven't thought about I don't think we've

165
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 3: thought about taking any corners and making them safeties just yet, Like, let's.

166
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: Make their past defense as effective this it's been.

167
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 3: I think they're number one of the leagues yards in

168
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 3: the past, the very sound, the great vision and break players.

169
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 3: You know, they got some guys on the corner on

170
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 3: the edge that have some length. Backers are fast, instinctive,

171
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 3: and the safeties do a great job of disguising and

172
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 3: then once the match the route declares, you know, being

173
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 3: able to match it and play it. It's.

174
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: Uh, they've done a nice, really nice job.

175
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 3: But they stay multiple proficient in a lot of different

176
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 3: coverages and they mix it up on you trying to keep.

177
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 4: Things in front.

178
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 3: For the most part, seems like not a lot of

179
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 3: deeper passes have been Yeah, I mean, I think that's

180
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 3: probably fair, but I don't think, you know, it's not

181
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 3: like they're playing cover two extensively, you know. I mean

182
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 3: there's a lot of post safety and you know, they

183
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 3: get into their quarters and then they blitz different people

184
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 3: off of it. But it's a very sound and instinct

185
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 3: of defense with guys at trigger and when it gets

186
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 3: thrown short, they do a great job of breaking and

187
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 3: vice tackling and not missing a whole lot of tackles.

188
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: And when the quarterback decides to check it down.

189
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 4: At linebacker over the last couple of weeks, do you

190
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 4: see that continue or would you prefer to stick with

191
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 4: one guy next to spot.

192
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,599
Speaker 3: I don't mind rotating, and I think that everybody's just

193
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 3: trying to help us out. We've got a lot of

194
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 3: guys that play special teams, got guys that play rotating

195
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 3: there on defense. We play a lot of different skill

196
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 3: players offensively, so and I think that that can be

197
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 3: a good bet, you know, I mean good balance.

198
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: This will be good.

199
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: My last visit to Buffalo unless you go back in

200
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 2: the close season, do you look at uh what do
