1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,160 Speaker 1: Coach wondering about Monday night football game in Buffalo. You 2 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 1: guys don't get a whole lot of them. I know 3 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: it's been at decade since you've had at home game 4 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: at that stadium. Just anticipating a pretty strong atmosphere from 5 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: the Bills mafia and the rest of the group. Well, 6 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's been a while. As you mentioned, 7 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 1: I just got here just you know, last year with 8 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 1: my staff. So, um, did you guys experience up there? 9 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: When you got a good football team, You're on quite 10 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: a bit those prime time games, they become kind of 11 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: second second nature. Um, you know, just getting here this 12 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: past year, Like I said, we we haven't experienced as 13 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: much as many here. But I'm happy for the fans 14 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: of Western New York that they can they can experience it. Coach, 15 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about Corey Bjorkez. He was 16 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: here during the during the preseason in the summer, didn't 17 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: actually get into any preseason games. Uh. Since since he 18 00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: didn't actually punt in any games, what made you guys 19 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: feel confident enough to uh to claim him off waivers 20 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: once the Patriots let him go. Yeah, you know, our 21 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: guys did their research and felt like it was an 22 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 1: opportunity for us to get a young player that um 23 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: that they had scouted in really in college during his 24 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: time in college. So we were we had a need 25 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: and um Corey was there. How what are your impressions 26 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 1: of what you've seen from him so far through the 27 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 1: first six or seven games this season. Yeah, he continues 28 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: to grow and improve. Um, you know you see that 29 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: with young players, and UM, you know he dedicated to 30 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: the growth mindset, which which is what we which is 31 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: what we subscribed to. Was it at all confusing to 32 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,199 Speaker 1: you why he didn't play in the preseason. That happens 33 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: from time to time. I mean, I don't you know, 34 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: you don't always know exactly what's going on when you're 35 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: outside looking in. But from time of time, you see 36 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: that happen in the preseason. CHOHn also wanted to ask 37 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: about the Patriots on third. They've seemed to have gotten 38 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: a lot better obviously since Eedmen came back and Josh 39 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: Gordon's involved. What makes them so difficult to stop in 40 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 1: those situations? Yeah, they've got a ton of weapons. I 41 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,119 Speaker 1: feel like they're weapons. Um, this year out the number 42 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: of the weapons they've had in recent years and now 43 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: with Rock probably playing in our game, they'll be at 44 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: full strength. I was I was just about to ask 45 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: you about about those weapons with Rob Grunkowski and Sony Michelle, 46 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: seems like their status is still kind of a little 47 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: bit up in the air. Does it make it more 48 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: difficult to prepare for this team when you don't know 49 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: exactly which of those weapons are going to be out 50 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: there on the field. Um, I mean yes and no. 51 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,239 Speaker 1: You're trying to inticipate the best you can. I think 52 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: the way you prepare you as you prepare to face 53 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: the best, and then if they're not out there, and 54 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: they're not out there, but you know, we've got some injuries, 55 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: They've got a couple of guys banged up, but it 56 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: appears that they'll be back. So we just have to 57 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: prepare to play our best football. One guy you know 58 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna see is Tom Brady. Like to know, what 59 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: you're seeing from him on film at the age of 60 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 1: forty one, is the same guy that you've seen for 61 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: number of years. Yeah, he's probably better in fact, I 62 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,519 Speaker 1: mean he Um, I've got a lot of respect. We 63 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: allowed respect for Tom Brady and UM love the fact 64 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: the way that you're driven to to win and prepare 65 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: to win probably most importantly, And um, you know, he's 66 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: as good as there is out there, and I'm sure 67 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: he'll be in the Hall of Fame some day. Sean, 68 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: you mentioned before that you think the Brady's weapons are 69 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: possibly better this year than years past. Is that just 70 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: because of the presence of a player like Josh Gordon 71 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: and that maybe they haven't had that kind of athlete 72 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: on the premiere before. Yeah, yes, possibly, But also when 73 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: you look at you know they they they then bringing 74 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: eighty four they've been bringing, you know, thirteen in doorset 75 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: you know, so, um, they've got a full full crew 76 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: of guys that they continue to roll through and and um, 77 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: you know those guys could probably start on any team 78 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: out there. Just about your own quarterback situation, coach, I 79 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: know you've got the your quarterback of the future. You 80 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: believe in Josh Allen, but him being hurt. Now offseason 81 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: you moved on from Tyrod, You brought an AJ mccaron 82 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: that didn't work out, Nathan has struggled at times U 83 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: and now you settled with Derek Anderson for the time being. 84 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: Just how difficult is that transition type of thing been 85 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: to go through for you, well, I think you know 86 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 1: the way that the NFL works, As you guys know, 87 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: there's always going to be injuries. Um, you never want 88 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: those injuries to occur. The biggest thing is right now 89 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 1: for us, a young our young quarterback is not able 90 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 1: to get the experience that we had, you know, so 91 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: desired at this point. That's that's probably the bigger muh 92 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: challenge at this point. But other than that, you know, 93 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: injuries are part of a part of a season. You've 94 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 1: got to move forward and hopefully you've got the death 95 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: to death to sustain it. What changes have you noticed, 96 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: if any, with Brian floor as as the defensive coordinator 97 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: of the Patriots. You know, they look fairly similar to 98 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: what they've done in years past with Matt Patricia. I know, 99 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: I'm sure Bills. You know, Coach Belichick is involved there 100 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: as well, and I've heard nothing but good things about 101 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: coach Flores and I'm sure you're doing a great job. 102 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: They seem like they're playing good, complimentary football. Have you 103 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: seen them bring more pressure, blitzmore with defensive backs in 104 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: recent games? And I'm just wondering what that that strategy 105 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 1: has yielded for them. They've done some of it, you know, 106 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: they I don't think they major in it, but they've 107 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: done some. You know, I think they do whatever the 108 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: game plan or how they want to play the game 109 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: and what that calls for. So, yeah, getting back to 110 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: the Monday night football thing, coach, do you feel as 111 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: all the Patriots have any advantage where they've gone through 112 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: so many of these primetime games, Maybe they know how 113 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: to prepare for them where you guys, a lot of 114 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: them are new to this routine. Yeah, I think so. 115 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: I mean you can probably give them the advantage in 116 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: most in most boxes this week, including that one. We've 117 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: got young players. There's a lot of first and second 118 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: year players really that are playing their first their first 119 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: NFL getting their first NFL worked. So this this will 120 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: be a lot of them's first Monday night game. And um, 121 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: so it's important that we can execute at a high 122 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: level against probably the best team in the NFL at 123 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: this point in the season. Does having Brian Dayble on 124 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: staff at all help in the preparation for this game? 125 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: You know what? I think people would sometimes can carry 126 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: away with things like that. Um, you know, Brian's certainly 127 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: a good coach. Um, But overall. Um, you know, I 128 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: think sometimes that's that's probably overblown. Your defense has played 129 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: at a winning level while your offense has struggled. Is 130 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: there ever any fear on your pot that there might 131 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: be friction developing or you feel as though you've got 132 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: a pretty tight group there that's going to stick through it. Yes, 133 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: I do. I feel like we've got a pretty tight 134 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 1: group um that they that they continue to put the 135 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: team first and that they buy in to that that 136 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: type of mentality. So you know, you're seeing that with 137 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: some teams out there, it appears, um, so far that 138 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: hasn't happened with us, And I understand where you're coming from.
