You're taking you're 9 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: taking the load off the legs. So they're fresh here. 10 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: And what are we now? Week twenty were in week 11 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 1: twenty now? Is that what it is? Seventeen games by 12 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,320 Speaker 1: week twenty. Yeah, we're we're going to get conta. I 13 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: saw Roger Saffold, he goes here, he is thirteenth year, 14 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: week twenty. Yeah, that sounds like an eternity for me. 15 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 1: And I know he was. He was in the training, 16 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 1: Yeah he was. He was getting a massage or something. 17 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: He was just get ready to get some treatment. And 18 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: he's right, man, I mean I remember, you just feel 19 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: you know, you don't feel like whatever he is, thirty 20 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: three or thirty four, it whatever he is, it's uh, 21 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: you feel like me now sixty, you know, and your 22 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: body's your livelihood literally, so but they we got a chance, 23 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: that media got a chance to watch a little bit 24 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: of practice today and I don't know what did you well? 25 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: It was to walk through. It was closed to the 26 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: media to get a sense of what they of the 27 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: you know, perkiness in their step. No, I didn't. I 28 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: did you did? Good to me? Yep? Okay, we were 29 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,959 Speaker 1: only audibly hearing what was going on out there because 30 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: practice was closed to the media. It was just a walkthrough, 31 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: so you're not really going to see much anyway. And 32 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: coach McDermot when he addressed Coach McDermot when he addressed 33 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: the media, said today that everyone on the roster was 34 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: going to practice in some capacity, including the injured players, 35 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,959 Speaker 1: who in his estimation, are all improving. So that's good news. 36 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: We'll find out officially now the team has to give 37 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: an estimate of what each player's practice participation would be 38 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: in a real full speed practice. That will be put 39 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: on the injury report today, so we'll see what that 40 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: is when it comes out later this afternoon. Obviously, you 41 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 1: have two players who did not play last week, Jordan 42 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: Phillips at the shoulder injury, Isaiah McKenzie with a hamstring injury. 43 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: So it'll be probably most interesting to see where those 44 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: players are listed in terms of participation, as well as 45 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: Dane Jackson, who left last week's game and did not return. 46 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: Coach McDermott did say after the game last week that 47 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: if Dane Jackson had to return to the game, he 48 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 1: could have. I just think Kaire was playing as rare 49 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: end off and there's no reason to take him off 50 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: the field when he's doing that. So yeah, we'll have 51 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: to see what his level of participation would have been 52 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: in today's practice had it been a full scale deal. Yeah, 53 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: And it's interesting because Kayer did play well, got the interception, 54 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: had a couple of PBUs, especially at the fourth down 55 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: at the end. Yeah. Yeah, And along with Tarren Johnson 56 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: and Turdavius White, the corners played really well this last 57 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: week against the Dolphins. It would be really interesting to 58 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: know if that would have changed had Dane stayed completely healthy. 59 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: Because Kayer played, is gonna play like he's gonna play, 60 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: and if Dane Jackson is not one hundred percent, certainly 61 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: you would think Kier's going to get a few more snaps. 62 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: If not you know, start the game or whatever BCB 63 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: two to start the game, even if they rotate. It 64 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: would be really interesting to see what the coaches, by 65 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: virtue of who gets the snaps, what they thought about 66 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: Kayer's play, because that's where you find really find out 67 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 1: Coach mcdermots, what changes in game to game with the 68 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: guys playing the way YEA. Coach McDermot was asked about 69 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: Kayer today, he was reserved, I would say in his 70 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: comments about Kayer, and I'll just say this across the board. 71 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: Since coach McDermott has been here, he is hesitant to 72 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: he praised on rookies as a rule, and I think 73 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: that's because out of respect for veteran players who have 74 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: put the time in the reps in the years. In 75 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 1: fawning all over a rookie, I don't think does a 76 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: coaching staff any favors in the eyes of veterans who 77 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: have been here and you know, paid their dues, grinded 78 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: it out, etc. So I think they are in general 79 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 1: pleased with Kayer Elam's play, but I don't think they 80 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: want to give any Because somebody asked him, has Kayer 81 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: is he there now? Has he gotten there? And coaches like, 82 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: hold on a second, that's kind of nobody's ever really 83 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: gotten the question. Yeah, nobody's ever really gotten there. He 84 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: goes in, if you think you're there, you'll find out 85 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 1: pretty quickly that you're not. And we have to remember too, 86 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: Coach McDermott's whole philosophy is daily self improvement. You're never there. 87 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: You're never there, so you're you're always trying to improve, 88 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: even if it's an incremental amount the next day, the 89 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: next day, and the next day. So it just does. 90 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: That whole question didn't fit into coach McDermott's philosophy as 91 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: a coach in the program, you build and you're always 92 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: striving for more. He handled the exact way. Yeah, and 93 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: even Kayer will tell you that. I mean, he's well, 94 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: he's got that DNA also for the time For the 95 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: time being, he had a good game, and that's about 96 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: where it starts and finishes. Yeah. Now I'll go out 97 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: and do it again if you get an opportunity. Yeah, 98 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: raise your level of preparedness, therefore raising your consistency and 99 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: therefore raising your you know, your ability to play well. 100 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: Wink in week out. Don't write a roller coaster of 101 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: a young player. Certainly he was a high on a 102 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: high this last week. And you know against some two 103 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: pretty good receiver, two really good receivers and are pretty 104 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: good tight end pass catching tight end. But you know, 105 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: now the the stakes are higher and the competitions better. 106 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: I mean, these three guys you're gonna face this week 107 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: and Jamar, Chase te Higgins and Tyler Boyd guys can 108 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: really go. Yeah. I mean, you got to play better 109 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: this week in order to get the same results you 110 00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: got last week. I think some interesting other developments. Coach 111 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: McDermott did reveal that Damar Hamlin is back in the facility, 112 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: and you know, on a relatively daily basis, he is 113 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: not doing a whole heck of a lot at this point. 114 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: He's here, he's still going through his own recovery, so 115 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: they're trying to slowly and steadily reacclimate him to his 116 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: professional setting. He's not sitting in on meetings yet, but 117 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: they're given to him just a little bit to chew 118 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: on each day. I think the coaching staff as well 119 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: as the organization realizes that him feeling like he is 120 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: a part of it again is good for his recovery, 121 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: don't you think absolutely would. Yeah, for all of us, 122 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: it would. And I think he's no difference. So yeah, 123 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: I think they're doing everything they can to make him 124 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: not to feel like he's a part of it, right. 125 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: And I think they did the same thing for Michael 126 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: when he was out in the same thing for von 127 00:07:58,360 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: Miller when he was out there. That's the way they 128 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: do things here. And not only that, it also it 129 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: does help the guys who are in the game to 130 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: have those guys around because it for if for no 131 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: other reason, it keeps the family together. You're not missing 132 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: a guy and that's big at this time of year. 133 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: And they can always chime. They've got experiences you don't have. 134 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: They got a voice that you don't have, and you 135 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: got in games like this, it feels good to have 136 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: somebody to listen to who does have those experiences. So yeah, 137 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: it's it's good culture and it's something I think that 138 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: pays benefits, whether they be intangible or tangible. It's a 139 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: great way to be and get a great place for 140 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 1: the organization to be in, particularly in the case of 141 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: Damar Hamlin. Yeah, so we shall see what comes to that, 142 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: but it, as coach mcderman put it, it's just a 143 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: small step at a time in terms of giving Damar 144 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: things to focus on, you know, on the days in 145 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: which he shows up at the facility. As we said, 146 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: non in team meetings as of yet, but trying to 147 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: reacclimate himself to being a professional athlete. For those that 148 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: don't know, he is on injured reserve, so he's not 149 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,319 Speaker 1: even a remote consideration as far as practicing or doing 150 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: anything like that. And he got put on IR I 151 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: think it was last week or the week before, and 152 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: understandably so don't want to take up a roster spot 153 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: with somebody that's in the hospital when you can get 154 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,079 Speaker 1: another player. I mean, I know that might sound a 155 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: little cold, but it's part of doing business here in 156 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: the league. Unfortunately. The offensive coordinator for the Bengals, Brian Callahan, 157 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: spoke to the media in Cincinnati today had a couple 158 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: of interesting comments. Among them, he said, at this point, 159 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: it's whatever it takes to win. The kid gloves her off. 160 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: And he was asked a lot about his offensive line, 161 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 1: as you might expect Steve with the injuries they have upfront. 162 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: What was interesting was Jackson Carmen was the player selected 163 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: to replace Jonah Williams in the game last Sunday night 164 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 1: against Baltimore when Williams went down with the dislocated kneecap. 165 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 1: But on the depth chart, it's Deontay Smith who's listed 166 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: up listed as the backup offensive tackle, and so Callahan 167 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: was asked why Jackson Carmen over Deontay Smith and Zay Prince, 168 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: who's another backup offensive tackle, and Callahan said, just felt 169 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: like his size, strength and experience would be an advantage 170 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: for us. Now, where does it go from here? He 171 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 1: said that he thought Jackson Carmen did a nice job 172 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: of taking on the role, said he did a good 173 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: job of growing up. Now, Carmen is a Clemson product 174 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: and he did play offensive tackle at Clemson, so it's 175 00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: not like it's a foreign position to him. Could be 176 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,439 Speaker 1: Clemson on Clemson on Sunday, Shack Lawson against Jackson Carmen. 177 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: That'd be interesting. So we'll see. That's the anticipation. The 178 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: anticipation is if Jonah Williams can't go, it will be 179 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: Jackson Carmen at left tackle, even though he's listed as 180 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: a backup guard. So we'll have to keep an eye 181 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: on that see where it goes. No word yet on 182 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:28,199 Speaker 1: practice participation from the Bengals. We anticipate that'll be coming 183 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: in short order here, but they have three linemen who 184 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: are up in the air, and question marks are two linemen. 185 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: We already know that Lyle Collins the right tackles lost 186 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: for the season with his injury suffered a few weeks ago. 187 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 1: So akeem Identagy is their starting right tackle as he 188 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: has been for the last three games. Left tackle is 189 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 1: the question mark, as is right guard, where their starter 190 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: Alex Kappa is week to week with what has been 191 00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: reported to be a high ankle spring. So things to 192 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: keep an eye on as far as the Bengals side 193 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: of the injury list is concerned. So we'll try to 194 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: pass that along to you if in fact it becomes 195 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: available before we are off the air today. Around the 196 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 1: NFL we go Steve and as we know, teams that 197 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: are not in the playoffs, there are five teams looking 198 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: for head coaches. There are also a handful of teams 199 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: looking for new coordinators, among them the New York Jets, who, 200 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:35,839 Speaker 1: according to reports today, are looking at Nathaniel Hackett, the 201 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: fired head coach of the Denver Broncos. He is interviewing 202 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: today for the offensive coordinator post with the New York 203 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: Jets after they parted ways with Mike Lafleur around the 204 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,679 Speaker 1: NFL incidentally presented by Kalida Health, the official healthcare system 205 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. Steve, what do you think of 206 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: this theory of mine? Interview Nathaniel Hackett, see if he 207 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: has a chance of luring Aaron Rodgers via trade? That's 208 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: what the Denver Broncos thought they could do, failed miserably. 209 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 1: They settle for Russell Wilson. Are the Jets foolish to 210 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: think that if they hire Nathaniel Hackett, who worked with 211 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay for a few years, can 212 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: possibly lure Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets? Is 213 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: that foolhardy? I think foolhardy is a understatement. I think 214 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: that's Craig Cray. And why is it Craig Cray? Steve 215 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: tell us, Well, because Nathaniel. I can't imagine a point 216 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 1: in Nathaniel Hackett's coaching career where his star was less 217 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: than what it is now. He couldn't Russell Wilson, Well, 218 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: he wrecked Russell Wilson. He wrecked him. Yeah, I mean 219 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 1: Russell and You can say what you want with the 220 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,439 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's washed up whatever, Russell least, Russell Wilson's a 221 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 1: veteran who can do some things. He was horrible to 222 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,839 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, not for nothing. After Hacket got fired. Russell 223 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: Wilson actually played a pretty good game in Week eighteen. Right. No, 224 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,959 Speaker 1: if they're thinking Nate Hackett is the way to get 225 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, I can't think of any other reason why 226 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: you would interview him right now. He's on a list. 227 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: Maybe because he's on a list. He's got some chops 228 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: now that he's been given a chance at a head 229 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: coaching job which he could not fulfill for more than 230 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: eleven months. It's the jetsiest of Jet things. It is 231 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: so Jetsy, and that is it's such a mistake. It's 232 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: so Jets. It's so Jet. We are back on track 233 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: to celebrating the Jet draft again here in Western Y. 234 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: When they come out and draft whoever, whatever they do, 235 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: they're gonna draft a but they need offensive lineman for sure. 236 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: They get in the worst way, and you know what 237 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: that means. They're gonna they're gonna draft another fullback Number 238 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: one overall, rocher Vic they're gonna rogers, They're gonna draft 239 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: a fullback. No, they'll yeah. Oh that is so that 240 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: is such a bad form of logic. I and I'm 241 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: not going to read into anything. And I haven't heard 242 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: what they were thinking and their their logic behind interviewing 243 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: Nate Hackett. But man, I can't imagine a guy who's 244 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: less attractive at this point of his coaching here. Now, 245 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: Nate's had some he's got some chops. He's been around 246 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: the league, Like you said, Coach Rod, He's been around. 247 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: Guys know him. He's got a name and his you know, 248 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: his dad was also a guy who you know, coaching 249 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: the league along time. So he's you know, he's got 250 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: that in his DNA. But I'm telling you what no Way, 251 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: speaking of no wast Steve, I mean what they should 252 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: get Frank Reich before they get Nate Hackett. Speaking of 253 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: no Way, Dolphins passing game coordinator slash quarterbacks coach Darryl 254 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: Bevil has told the Jets and Commanders no thanks on 255 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: the OC job. Oh my god. That According to NFL Networks, 256 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: Tom Pella Sero, Yeah, I'm good over here said it. 257 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: I'm good over here. I'm good over here down the 258 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: ranks as opposed to going to the top of your 259 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: We said, we had this conversation weeks months ago, at 260 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: least maybe during the first part of the season, when 261 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: the when the Commanders were relevant, you know, before they 262 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: got started. I think people outside the National Football League 263 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: would be surprised, if not shocked, at the amount of 264 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: jobs that are no thank you by head coaching candidates 265 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: and other candidates around the National Football League. We're just 266 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: talking about coordinator for the Commanders and the Jets, and 267 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: Bebel's like, I'm good, and I think for two reasons. 268 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: For the Jets, it's what's your plan at quarterback? I 269 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: don't want to be I don't want to be the 270 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: guy holding the bag on that right. Number one. For 271 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: the Commanders, it's aren't you guys for sale? Who's to 272 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: say that that whole coaching staff doesn't get bounced when 273 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: a new owner comes in. Yeah, there's that. I don't 274 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: know if you can rule that out. You can't uncertainty there, 275 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: and it's uncomfortable uncertainty for perspective. And it could be 276 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: something else too. It could be a family thing where 277 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: he wants to stay in South George. He might say listen, 278 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel, I'm learning some stuff from this guy. I 279 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: love his system. He's maximized a quarterback. I didn't think 280 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: we could get that out of I'm gonna stay here 281 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 1: and learn. This is a better spot for me than 282 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: going and try and trying to scrape through the ashes 283 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: of two different franchises and come out with, you know 284 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: something script through the Oh my god, Steve, you're a poet. 285 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: You don't even know, right, I mean, that's he's because listen, 286 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: I don't and I don't know how. I have no 287 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 1: idea how old how old he is. He may know, 288 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: he's got decades ahead of him and the opportunities are 289 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: as important as the title. So good on him. And 290 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 1: I'll say it again, I think people would be shocked 291 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: at the amount of jobs that are that are silently 292 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: passed upon. NFL Networks Ian Rappaport is reporting that the 293 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: Falcons are interviewing longtime respected defensive coordinator and former Broncos 294 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 1: head coach Vic Fangio for their vacant defensive coordinator job. 295 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 1: He was a defensive consultant with the Eagles last season, 296 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: so that would be a good yet for head coach 297 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 1: Arthur Smith down in Atlanta, you can get Vic Fangio 298 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: for your defensive coordinator job. We also have seen that 299 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 1: the Patriots have requested permission from the Minnesota Vikings to 300 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: interview wide receivers coach Keenan McCardell for their offensive coordinator position. 301 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: He's on a list of candidates along with Bill O'Brien. 302 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 1: There is a member of the Patriots staff, Nick Cayley, 303 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 1: who is also a candidate for the OC position in 304 00:18:54,480 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 1: New England for a promotion. We'll see where that goes there. 305 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: It's the coaching caris el Steve, you know how this goes. 306 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: Frank Reich was mentioned as a possible candidate for the 307 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: Chargers OC job, which would be a reunion of sorts 308 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: because he has coached there previously in that role. As 309 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: a matter of fact, Um, I've seen his name circulating 310 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: in other places for the head coaching job at Carolina. 311 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: That's the one I saw. And he has he has 312 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 1: history there as a former player. That's right. He threw 313 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 1: the first touchdown in franchise history. Um. Yeah, So that 314 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: some of these guys are all getting looks and there 315 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: are there's a lot of old names. I mean, Jim 316 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: Haslet's name has been thrown around in this and wow, 317 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: um not in not in not so much in the 318 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: Carolina job, but in other jobs around he's had, he's 319 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 1: been you know, So one coordinator post has been filled. 320 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: The Browns hired defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, former Bills DC. 321 00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 1: He's been hired in Cleveland to be their new defensive coordinator. 322 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:06,400 Speaker 1: He replaces the fired Joe Woods. So that position has 323 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: been filled and more will be filled in the coming days. 324 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: I thought the most interesting one Steve was Ben Johnson, 325 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: the red hot offensive coordinator for the Lions. He is 326 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: going back to the Lions. He has decided not to 327 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: take or keep himself in the running for any head 328 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: coaching positions at this point in time, and I think 329 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: that's a good move for him. He's shown he can 330 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: do a lot with that offense. They had a couple 331 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: more pieces look out. I mean, he's really made Jared 332 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 1: Goff looked like a solid, consistent quarterback this season. And 333 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: that was a team that was scoring points this year. 334 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: I mean, they gave the Bills all they could handle 335 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving. Yeah, and you know, for a lot of 336 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,640 Speaker 1: people who had because I think Sean McVeigh gave up 337 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: on Goff in LA a lot of people thought, now, 338 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: at least you know he's done, he's not good enough, 339 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: and quite frankly, there are other coaches out there who 340 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 1: approach it from a different angle, can get more out 341 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:06,400 Speaker 1: of the guy and and do well with him. Now. Certainly, 342 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell. You can say what you want about Dan 343 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: Campbell and the Lions. They didn't get to the playoffs 344 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 1: at all. They didn't get to the playoffs, and the 345 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: quarterback is always a big reason why. So maybe Sean 346 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 1: mcvayh can still say, hey, I'm right and they're wrong. 347 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: But certainly Dan Campbell and his staff see enough in 348 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: Jared Goff to this year, yeah, to get it done. 349 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 1: And you know, Matt Stafford is better than Jared Goff, 350 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: no question. So if you're gonna trade, do it. I 351 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: don't know if he's worth two ones and a two 352 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 1: for Jared Goff much more than Jared Goff, but that's 353 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: what they gave up to him for him. So yeah, 354 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: it's really interesting to see what some coaches can get 355 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: out of players and what some coaches cannot. Hence Brian 356 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: day Ball in New York Giants this year Hence Daniel 357 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: Jones looks like a world beat Mike McDaniel with two 358 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: of You know, think there's coaches out there who are 359 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,679 Speaker 1: good enough at the human side of the game to 360 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: give guys an opportunity to thrive in a different environment. 361 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott. I mean point in case when he showed up, 362 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: how things changed in this building and players throw. I'm 363 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 1: certainly they're all hit most of the I think maybe 364 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: every single player in the building now is a Sean 365 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 1: McDermott player. I think they are right. Well, Shack was 366 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 1: here before he arrived, then he left and has since come. 367 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: Technically that gotta beat. That's Sean McDermott and read Ferguson. 368 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: Those are the only two games. So yeah, that m 369 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: but he took that predate McDermott. It's like the old 370 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 1: bum Phillips saying for those who don't know bum Phillips. 371 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: He coached the Houston Oilers with her Earl Campbell back 372 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 1: in the early eighties and late seventies, and he said 373 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: that he said this about Don Shula at that time. 374 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: He said he can take his he can take his 375 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 1: hens and beat Uran's, and he can take Urans and 376 00:22:55,920 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: beat his hens. He's already good coach. So some guys 377 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: are gifted like that. Some guys are gifted like that, 378 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 1: and they can they just get more out of it 379 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 1: and show the Dermott certainly as one of those guys 380 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 1: bay bawling guys around the league. One player personnel note 381 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: from around the NFL. The Cowboys are sticking with kicker 382 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: Brett Mahr. They expect him to rebound against the forty 383 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: nine ers. For those who don't know or didn't see 384 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 1: Monday nights wildcard playoff game between the Cowboys and the Bucks, 385 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: he missed four extra points in the win by the Cowboys. 386 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: At least he picked a good game to do it, 387 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: whereas extra points didn't mean a whole lot in a 388 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 1: game that the Cowboys ultimately won thirty one to fourteen. 389 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you this, did you see the one 390 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: that shows on the sidelines and maybe it'll show up 391 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 1: in our highlights that we're showing right here. If Dak 392 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 1: Prescott getting mad at him when a winning was he 393 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 1: mad at that specifically or was that just a camera 394 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: catching h him at a bad time? And then context 395 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: it was about the kicker? Yea was yeah? I find 396 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,199 Speaker 1: that troubling about Dak. Certainly it's the heat of the 397 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: game and all that, okay, but it's a good thing 398 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: Dak's teammates don't treat him like that when he pulls stunt. 399 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,719 Speaker 1: I mean, he didn't misfield, but when you come out 400 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: and throw a bone head throw or do the stuff 401 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 1: that looked the way Dak looked in Week eighteen? Do 402 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: you think he Bay was saying that about him? On 403 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: the sidelines, they were catching guys, and I'm sure somebody 404 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: was muttering under their breath, son of a nutcracker. I mean, 405 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: come on, And I don't know why. I don't know. 406 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,919 Speaker 1: I didn't know that was gonna be no good. I 407 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: thought that would I guess it has to go over 408 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,360 Speaker 1: the top and not touch it right, if it goes 409 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: over the tipe. If that kick would have been six 410 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: inches higher, it'd have been good. Yeah. Yeah. I always 411 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 1: hesitate when I see a player with a compromising reaction 412 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,479 Speaker 1: right after a bad play by a teammate on the field, Like, 413 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 1: is that really in direct response to what happened on 414 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: the field, or is it something else going on on 415 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: the sidelines. I never know the context, and I feel 416 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: like that sometimes misleading kind of the way reality television 417 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 1: cleverly edits reactions and stuff. I mean, I'm not saying 418 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 1: this is the only reality TV a water, that's right, 419 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,239 Speaker 1: But I always wonder, with all the things that go 420 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 1: on on an NFL sideline, is it in relations or 421 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: something else or something on the field. Certainly it can 422 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: be that way. I try to give those guys benefit 423 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,159 Speaker 1: of the doubt, but maybe it was. But I just 424 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: thought it was troubling. I mean how I mean, I 425 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: get it. He's coming off the field. They they've scored 426 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,120 Speaker 1: three straight times and the kickers blown three extra points 427 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: and on his way to blowing four. Yeah, he did 428 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: get one at the end, did he Yeah, he hit 429 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: his fifth. He hit the fifth one. He said wow. 430 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: I said, hey, he started a new streak. Brett Marr 431 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 1: and I'll say this, Brett Mahr has been absolute money 432 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys this great season, really great season. I mean, 433 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 1: there's like no doubt they're bringing that guy. He's great, man. 434 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 1: I think that's the only thing he's gonna be letting 435 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 1: him sept ten. Those guys the last from the past, right, 436 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: So those guys at barefooter, they kick forever. You know, 437 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 1: and he was gonna be he could have had a 438 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: chance to be one of those guys for the Cowboys, 439 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: And I don't know. Well, I would say that his 440 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 1: body of work this season is probably the only thing 441 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: that got him another week kicking in the playoffs, you 442 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like, look, his body of work 443 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 1: has far out distanced just what happened in this game 444 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,120 Speaker 1: this past week. Is it troubling, Absolutely, But we're gonna 445 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 1: give him a chance to rebound. Now. If he's in 446 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: practice on Friday and he's spraying stuff all over the 447 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 1: yard in practice, yeah, this is one of those things 448 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,360 Speaker 1: where there might be a late phone call. Listen, Brett, 449 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: I know you had a tough game. Sorry that We're 450 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,679 Speaker 1: gonna stick with you. You're our guy. I know that 451 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: there's three other kickers now at the other end of 452 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: the I don't worry. You're our guy. You're our guy. 453 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: That is how cutthroat the NFL is it really is? 454 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: You Listen, you both said not for long. You got 455 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 1: to have a list of kickers right here. That's like, Hey, 456 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: that's what pro personnel departments exist for. If not Sunday night, 457 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: Monday morning, the phone's ring and saying Hey, how's your 458 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,199 Speaker 1: guy doing? Is he in shape?

Yeah, my 463 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: guy's the only guy. He got the strongest leg on 464 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 1: the market right now that I love it.

Whatever emotional 491 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: residue there might be in facing that team three weeks 492 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: after what happened, does it help the emotional release that 493 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: you guys had in the body that you guys had 494 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: to prepare for this game? And how much might there's 495 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 1: still be something left over as you take the field 496 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: from three weeks ago? Um, I mean, I don't think 497 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: there's honestly too much left over. Um off with guys 498 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: being able to see a little bit of damar. I know, 499 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: coach that he's been in the building, so guys being 500 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 1: able to see him talk with him, I think that 501 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: kind of alleviates most of that. M'm not saying that 502 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 1: there's going to be none. You know, I can't speak 503 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 1: for everybody on the team. Um, but again, I think 504 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: we're We're just extremely focused right now. I'm just having 505 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: a good week of preparation and you know, trying to 506 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: go out there on Sunday and execute. Now. I know 507 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: you're real tight with him. He said he's gone through 508 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: a lot this season personally as well. UM, just what 509 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: it's meant for this offense to have him kind of 510 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: rolling now and into the playoffs. Yeah, I mean he's 511 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: been He's been great for us. Um. You know, the 512 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: more that we can get him the ball, you know, um, 513 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: seems like, you know, the better that we do. And again, 514 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: he's such a he really is. He's so athletic, he's 515 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 1: so big, he's so fast. Um, he's tough for smaller 516 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 1: guys and he's you know, quicker than some of the 517 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 1: big guys that guard him. So you know, just trying 518 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: to get you know, everybody involved in this offense. And 519 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: I think when when we're spraying it around, UM and 520 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: getting everybody involved, I think we become very balanced. UM, 521 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: and I think that's a sign of a good team. 522 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 1: Security is something you positively focus on, right. But I 523 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 1: asked Shot this. You know, after a game like Sundays 524 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: or whatever, it becomes more of an issue. UM. He says, 525 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 1: he trusts you, you know, the players in general to 526 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: kind of deal with that, but he doesn't feel it 527 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 1: necessarily has to aggress it. What's your process and how 528 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 1: do you kind of focus on coming off a game 529 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: like that. UM? Deal with protecting the football and the play. Yeah, 530 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 1: and again I think it's a short memory and just 531 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 1: trying to move on be the best quarterback that I 532 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: can be for the Bills. UM. Obviously wanting to make 533 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 1: good decisions and you know, I think, you know, out 534 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 1: of the whole game, I think I made one bad decision. 535 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: It was the deep ball to to John and UM. 536 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: You know, obviously we want to we want to end 537 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: the ball or in every possession with the ball in 538 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: our hands, whether it's a touchdown, UM, you know, punting 539 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: it away or kicking a field goal. And that's that's 540 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: our mindset that will never change. And you know, there 541 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: is a thin line between being aggressive and um being 542 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: a little bit reckless. So again just you know, getting 543 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 1: back on the right side of that line and being 544 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: being smart but being not being conservative. What do you 545 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 1: make of their defense? Was there much that YouTube from 546 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,239 Speaker 1: that tiny to playing against Sunlight You're too this time? 547 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 1: Are just kind of like what are you seeing? Getting 548 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 1: ready for them for this go around? Yeah, I mean 549 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: we only had um, you know, one drive against them, 550 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 1: so it's kind of hard to take anything away from that. 551 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: And um, you know, they played the same team twice 552 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 1: since we've played them, and um, there's not much carry 553 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 1: over in terms of what our offense does and their 554 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 1: offense does. So it's kind of uh, you know, original 555 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: game plan thought and um again making adjustments on the fly. 556 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 1: You know, they've they've played certain teams certain ways, and um, 557 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 1: again they can come out and play as completely different 558 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 1: than what the first drive you know said that they 559 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 1: were going to play us. So again it's just being 560 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: being smart, um, you know, decision wise, trying to find 561 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: the open guy, um, getting the run game involved, and uh, 562 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 1: like I said, just trying to be a balanced offense 563 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 1: against this team or they're their high motor. Um they 564 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 1: got you know, they're other in dan back and they're 565 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 1: making a lot of plays right now. Um. You know, 566 00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 1: Logan Wilson had an unbelievable play on the goal line 567 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 1: and you know he's he's a heck of a player. 568 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 1: And you know, they're playing really inspired football right now. 569 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 1: They've won i think eight eight or nine straight and um, 570 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 1: you know it's a team that's that's gonna be tough 571 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 1: to beat. You know, they're coming into our house and 572 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: they're they're playing with a lot of confidence. Um, you know, 573 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 1: and we got to be ready for whatever they can 574 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 1: throw at us. Prot you talk about, you know, the 575 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: fine line between get reckless and being aggressive, how do 576 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 1: you kind of process that it balance that because I 577 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 1: would imagine overthink stuff. Is it more just trusting your Yeah, 578 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,719 Speaker 1: I think it's very instinctual. I think it's also very 579 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 1: dictated on the flow of the game. UM. Sometimes down 580 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 1: in distance, um, but again just understanding what type of 581 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 1: what type of game it is, and um last week 582 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: maybe getting too aggressive and just understanding you know, with 583 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 1: the lead, you know, just forcing longer drives instead of 584 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 1: helping helping you know, their team get back in it 585 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 1: and That's what I really did. And um again, I 586 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 1: credit our defense for stepping up and guys making some 587 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 1: plays on the offensive side of the ball. But we're 588 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 1: not gonna get caught up in in a couple of 589 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: bad plays that we had last week. And we're gonna 590 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 1: focus on the good and I'm gonna learn from it. 591 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,279 Speaker 1: And like I said, our attentions all on Cincinnati comes 592 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,759 Speaker 1: Sunday at three o'clock. How's your ankle feeling affect anything 593 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,359 Speaker 1: the last a couple of games. No, I mean, if 594 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 1: it feels good, it's fine. Um, doesn't really affect. Doesn't 595 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,800 Speaker 1: affect much about Babe getting too aggressive? Is it? Is 596 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 1: there someone that can reach you in that moment or 597 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 1: do you talk about to himself internally or how does 598 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 1: that work? Yeah? I think it's Uh, it's since internal. 599 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,360 Speaker 1: You can have the the offensive coordinator say something in 600 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 1: the headset, but at the end of the day, it's 601 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 1: it's the main in the arena. It's uh, you know, 602 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 1: the guy in the helmet that's got to make the decision. 603 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 1: And um again, I don't want to put our team 604 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 1: in bad situations, and um, you know, I just want 605 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,439 Speaker 1: to help this team win football games and that's that's 606 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: what I'm I'm paid to do, is you know, score 607 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 1: touchdowns for this offense and help us win games. Playoff 608 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 1: gave Davis seems to be a real play any thing. Um, 609 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 1: what do you see in the postseason with this kind 610 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,840 Speaker 1: of change is a little bit, you know, I know 611 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 1: everybody wants to make it a deal. He's the same 612 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 1: guy he really is, And I know, um, this year 613 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 1: hasn't been the best year that he could have had, 614 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:05,840 Speaker 1: but I mean you used to look at the stats 615 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: and the numbers that he's put up this year, Um, 616 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 1: you know it was. It was a very very solid year. 617 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,320 Speaker 1: And I freaking love the guy to death. He's, you know, 618 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,759 Speaker 1: one of the the most liked guys in the locker room. Um. 619 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 1: He works extremely hard. You look at his again, just 620 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:24,280 Speaker 1: his work ethic, not just in season, um, but offseason. 621 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: You know how much work he puts into what he 622 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,400 Speaker 1: really cares about this game. He cares about his teammates. 623 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 1: He doesn't care who gets the recognition. He's the last 624 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 1: guy in years on the jugs right now by himself. 625 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,360 Speaker 1: So Um, he speaks a lot to who he is. 626 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: He just wants to be the best that he can 627 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 1: be doesn't make change. You're in a playoff week. You know, 628 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 1: everybody's always like, hey, you got to kind of keep 629 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:46,319 Speaker 1: the same allmentum, the same rhythm, aver whatever. But changing 630 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:50,759 Speaker 1: approaching it a different way. Um, I can't say that 631 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 1: it does. Again. We want to we want to keep 632 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 1: the same the vibe, the same vibe, the same mindset 633 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 1: that we've had. And I think the one thing that 634 00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,200 Speaker 1: changes around here is just instead of being playoff aliber, 635 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,239 Speaker 1: we gotta be championship caliber. And I think coach does 636 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 1: a good job of messaging that to the guys, where 637 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 1: everything you do, hopefully it would be towards winning a 638 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 1: world championship, everything on and off the field, in the 639 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 1: treatment room, in the training room, yeah, just making sure 640 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 1: that we're we're physically and mentally ready to go as possible, 641 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,400 Speaker 1: because again it's winner go home. How much do you 642 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,279 Speaker 1: think how much do you think that I'm not saying 643 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 1: you'll reflect that, but the experiences that this team has had, 644 00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: the experiences that you've had in the AFC Championship game, 645 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 1: in the Division final, in what's gone on this year, 646 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 1: how much do you think that has better prepared you 647 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 1: in this team for this test, this weekend. Yeah, I mean, 648 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:47,360 Speaker 1: I think it gives you a more sturdy foundation. You know, 649 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 1: the more struggle, the more adversity that you can see 650 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 1: over a course of a year, it just makes you 651 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,759 Speaker 1: that much stronger. Again, You've you've been in some We've 652 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 1: been in some really weird situations this year that not 653 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,160 Speaker 1: a lot of teams maybe I've ever gone through. Um, 654 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,320 Speaker 1: So again, just being able to have that under a belt, 655 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 1: understand those emotions in those situations, and just try to 656 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,400 Speaker 1: use it to our benefit. And again, I think the 657 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 1: lot the guys that we have in this locker room, 658 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,399 Speaker 1: the veteran leadership that we have, you know, even having 659 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:14,960 Speaker 1: von Miller in the locker room, just being able to 660 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,040 Speaker 1: talk with guys like that's that's so huge for what 661 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,359 Speaker 1: it does to our our our psyche um and our 662 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,880 Speaker 1: mental approach to the game. So yeah, I think that 663 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,320 Speaker 1: that can definitely benefit you if you use it the 664 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 1: right way. Back to the Browns game, Sorry, if you 665 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 1: go back to the Browns game. You guys have five 666 00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,440 Speaker 1: straight games. I think it was like a total turnovers 667 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 1: in those five games. Is there anything when you're going 668 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 1: to that to get as a team you can kind 669 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,239 Speaker 1: of take from when things are that good, they're not 670 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 1: turning the ball over when you're trying to maybe get 671 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:46,760 Speaker 1: out of the rut um potentially, again, it just making decisions. 672 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,520 Speaker 1: Sometimes tip picks are going to happen. Um, And that's 673 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,879 Speaker 1: just that's just the gist of it. Like you can't 674 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 1: just try to eliminate every single turnover and play scared 675 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,400 Speaker 1: like you stuff to be. You know, the way that 676 00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 1: we play, we're aggressive, we want to court touchdowns and um, 677 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,320 Speaker 1: you know that's that's the gist of it, to be honest, 678 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 1: and again we don't we don't want to play scared 679 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 1: at the end of the day. Yeah, I just I 680 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 1: probably get the best shot just that I didn't about today, 681 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,800 Speaker 1: Like we walk through its supposed to a full practice. 682 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:19,839 Speaker 1: That is that beneficial to you? I mean if if 683 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,880 Speaker 1: they're wear and tear like like rest just to be 684 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 1: focus in a different ways, that beneficial looking for us, 685 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,480 Speaker 1: I think it's beneficial to to really everybody on this team. Um, 686 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,560 Speaker 1: you know, it's been a long it's been a long 687 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:35,759 Speaker 1: season and as you get later into the playoffs, Um, 688 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,440 Speaker 1: you know your body can only sustain so much. So 689 00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,000 Speaker 1: for shan to you know, come out and let us 690 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,880 Speaker 1: have a walk through and again making sure that our 691 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 1: guys are being mentally there and paid attention to the 692 00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,279 Speaker 1: looks that we're getting the plays that we're running. Um. 693 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,000 Speaker 1: And I think it's it's like I said, it's a 694 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 1: benefit to have the guys in the locker room that 695 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 1: we do to be able to come out and do 696 00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,600 Speaker 1: this and focus and get the things done that we 697 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,799 Speaker 1: need to get done. Um. So yeah, I think it's 698 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 1: it is it beneficial for us. I know you said 699 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 1: DeMar has been around and talking to you guys. Have 700 00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,239 Speaker 1: he personally gotten to interact with him much? And if so, 701 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,560 Speaker 1: what has blows that been Like? Yeah, just uh, you know, 702 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 1: a few hugs here and there. Everybody's chomping at the 703 00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,000 Speaker 1: bit to talk to him. And I don't want to 704 00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 1: overload him with too much right now, but it's it's 705 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 1: been good to see him, Um, you know, a smile 706 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,839 Speaker 1: on his face and uh, you know, guys love having 707 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,880 Speaker 1: him back in the building. Differently when you're going against 708 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, No, no, he's he He's gonna win that 709 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,600 Speaker 1: battle ten times up of ten. Um. I don't really 710 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 1: I don't dress to impress on game day, just kind 711 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,280 Speaker 1: of walk in the closet and pick whatever I see first. 712 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 1: So maybe maybe someday down the road, I said it 713 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 1: since training camp, how much trust him a kalil and 714 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:51,719 Speaker 1: then he has the drop, But then he makes the 715 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,040 Speaker 1: really good play at the end of the game because 716 00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,000 Speaker 1: there are added dimension he brings the offensers. There's something 717 00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,399 Speaker 1: that he brings me he's out there that other people 718 00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:04,360 Speaker 1: might not um. I mean, again, he knows all the positions. 719 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 1: I think he's faster than what people give him credit for. 720 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,399 Speaker 1: You know, he's a bigger body. I think he's fairly 721 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,120 Speaker 1: shifty too, and again he's just kind of a mixture 722 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 1: of what you want in the slot. So again, the 723 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,359 Speaker 1: more that we can get him involved and get going, 724 00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,200 Speaker 1: and obviously he's still young, but the more that he 725 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,400 Speaker 1: can learn from each and every situation that he's out 726 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:26,880 Speaker 1: there and learn from the guys in front of him, 727 00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:28,719 Speaker 1: I think it's going to benefit him down the road. 728 00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,800 Speaker 1: So that's Josh Allen addressing the media after practice today. 729 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,680 Speaker 1: Among his more interesting comments, a lot of questions, as 730 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:42,799 Speaker 1: you might expect, on balancing being aggressive with being judicial 731 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:46,719 Speaker 1: in his decisions with the football, and he said, you 732 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,920 Speaker 1: never want to play scared, but he also wants to 733 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 1: put his team in the best position to succeed, so 734 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,040 Speaker 1: that will be a balance that he undertakes. Had an 735 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,239 Speaker 1: interesting comment on Khalil Shakir, believing that if they get 736 00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,279 Speaker 1: him more involved, he will succeed in providing them more 737 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,160 Speaker 1: in the passing game, and he also feels that Joe 738 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:09,319 Speaker 1: Burrow has him beat in one category, drip game. Joe 739 00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,880 Speaker 1: is a pretty fashion forward Steve. In case you didn't know, 740 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:14,840 Speaker 1: I did know that.

I saw this on Twitter, 788 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:11,160 Speaker 1: Steve earlier today the television ratings for the wild card 789 00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:14,560 Speaker 1: game between the Bills and the Dolphins. Buffalo drew a 790 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:18,640 Speaker 1: forty seven point four local rating for the wild Card 791 00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:25,560 Speaker 1: game on CBS, which led all markets. Chiefs fans were 792 00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,960 Speaker 1: apparently pretty interested because Kansas City was the number two 793 00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,960 Speaker 1: television market for that game at a twenty eight point 794 00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:38,440 Speaker 1: two rating, followed by Cincinnati, West Palm Beach, and New 795 00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:43,000 Speaker 1: Orleans in the top five. Fort Myers Slash Naples was 796 00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:47,239 Speaker 1: the number six viewing market. Steve, it's all making sense. 797 00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:52,920 Speaker 1: Miami Fort Lauderdale was not in the top ten. Seriously, 798 00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:57,279 Speaker 1: Miami for the Bills Dolphins game not in the top ten? 799 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:04,160 Speaker 1: What are they doing down the passionate fan base? Passionate 800 00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:09,760 Speaker 1: can't live without their passionate, committed fan base. There you go, Wow, 801 00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:16,800 Speaker 1: that's that surprises men. Four local rating, it's like almost 802 00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:20,000 Speaker 1: half the televisions. What Western New York we're watching the game? 803 00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:25,440 Speaker 1: What was the share did they share? What the forty 804 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,879 Speaker 1: seven point four rating means? There's forty seven point four 805 00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,759 Speaker 1: percent of the televisions in the market are tuned in 806 00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,600 Speaker 1: and the share that's not right, It might be opposite. 807 00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,399 Speaker 1: The share is how many TV sets were actually on? Right? 808 00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:42,560 Speaker 1: I don't have that. Yeah, I'll bet that share was massive, 809 00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:46,359 Speaker 1: might be even bigger this week. Yeah, well I think 810 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,719 Speaker 1: this game in Buffalo and well they're they're every game 811 00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,839 Speaker 1: as we saw over the weekend, every game is a standalone.

You know, it's like 891 00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:37,160 Speaker 1: it's a positive energy bubble that's just floating around the facility. 892 00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:42,120 Speaker 1: The front seven here with the Bengals. So in your 893 00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:44,799 Speaker 1: film study that you've done, what sticks out about how 894 00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:48,799 Speaker 1: they're able to try to get the quarterback? High high, 895 00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:53,759 Speaker 1: high effort, you know, like they they play through and 896 00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:57,120 Speaker 1: pass the whistle and uh, that's really what stands out 897 00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:01,480 Speaker 1: the most. Um, their effort is outstanding and they and 898 00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:05,360 Speaker 1: they play hard. You guys when it's a game coming up, 899 00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:08,160 Speaker 1: a game where seven sacks and the turnovers and all that, 900 00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,640 Speaker 1: but you guys still win, is it easier to kind 901 00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:13,800 Speaker 1: of look back with coming off win and correct that stuff? 902 00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,160 Speaker 1: Like does that help when you look back to I 903 00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,560 Speaker 1: don't know, having that win, but like also then looking 904 00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:21,600 Speaker 1: at what went wrong with that stuff? You know, like 905 00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:24,439 Speaker 1: you see it as stuff like went wrong. I see 906 00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:27,279 Speaker 1: it as the ups and downs of a football game. 907 00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:29,120 Speaker 1: Like stuff like that is supposed to happen. Guys are 908 00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:31,680 Speaker 1: supposed to make tackles, Guys are supposed to get sacks. 909 00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:33,480 Speaker 1: Guys are supposed to do and what they do, like 910 00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:37,040 Speaker 1: it's the playoffs now, like everybody's playing their best ball. 911 00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:43,439 Speaker 1: So it's just high energy, high like comp So it's 912 00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,800 Speaker 1: like it is and what it is. But we know 913 00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:49,120 Speaker 1: as a group that we have to tighten up, and 914 00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:50,799 Speaker 1: we have to make sure that we're all on our 915 00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:53,960 Speaker 1: ps and our ques so we could execute at a 916 00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:56,080 Speaker 1: high level that we know that we're capable of execute. 917 00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,000 Speaker 1: That idem what happened to play before your head to 918 00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:03,400 Speaker 1: come off for a play, So happened like like what what? 919 00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:06,919 Speaker 1: What was the injury? I mean, I just got aired 920 00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:09,040 Speaker 1: out a little bit, you know, lost win and then 921 00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:11,839 Speaker 1: you know, I just took a knee just to take 922 00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:15,320 Speaker 1: a knee and uh and uh, you know, took a playoff. 923 00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:18,920 Speaker 1: A lot of strategies on like fourth and one in 924 00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,560 Speaker 1: fourth and short this year, you've got guys pushing the 925 00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:24,400 Speaker 1: quarterback forward. You've got the quarterback leaping forward. What's the 926 00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:27,640 Speaker 1: conversation Like, as an offensive lineman when you're trying to block, 927 00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:31,120 Speaker 1: you maybe don't know what's going on behind you. There's 928 00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:35,840 Speaker 1: really no conversation. It's just it's just ball. Like with 929 00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:40,399 Speaker 1: seventeen doing what he does, you really don't know what's 930 00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:43,000 Speaker 1: going to happen. He could be jumping over somebody, somebody 931 00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:45,640 Speaker 1: could catch him, and we could try to catch him 932 00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:47,719 Speaker 1: in the air while somebody else is catching him, and 933 00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:50,600 Speaker 1: we just got to just adapt to whatever is going 934 00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:52,800 Speaker 1: and going on, you know, and uh, and that just 935 00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:55,560 Speaker 1: goes to playing through the whistle and playing past the whistle, 936 00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:58,279 Speaker 1: you know, because all of our guys know how to 937 00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:02,080 Speaker 1: extend plays. So with everything happening behind us until it's 938 00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,000 Speaker 1: in front of us, we just have to just hope 939 00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:06,960 Speaker 1: for the best and trust our technique and then when 940 00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,200 Speaker 1: stuff happens, you know, we all just hit the ground 941 00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:14,640 Speaker 1: running and try to adapt to whatever like situation is ahead. Sure, 942 00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:21,279 Speaker 1: Transaday had best season. You've been around him for quite 943 00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:22,960 Speaker 1: a bit and I know he's on the other side 944 00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,239 Speaker 1: of the ball, but what have you seen out of 945 00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:27,720 Speaker 1: him this season? He had a couple of really big plays, 946 00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:31,279 Speaker 1: a couple of really big hits, and yeah, you know, 947 00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:36,200 Speaker 1: it's a it's a beautiful site, um for a player 948 00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:39,400 Speaker 1: that was young. But he's not young anymore to you know, 949 00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:44,080 Speaker 1: finally come into a hole and uh, that just comes 950 00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:47,279 Speaker 1: and with growth and time. And we all knew and 951 00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:50,919 Speaker 1: we all know that honestly, every player in that locker 952 00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:54,040 Speaker 1: room has potential to be great. You know, it's just 953 00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:58,880 Speaker 1: finally U Tremaine's turn to to be great and cross 954 00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:01,920 Speaker 1: that that lead line, you know, and he's and he's 955 00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:04,920 Speaker 1: crossing it, and he's making plays when we act him too, 956 00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:07,480 Speaker 1: and he's stepping up in big moments, and that's what 957 00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:11,280 Speaker 1: we need to to continue to win. We need everybody 958 00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:14,759 Speaker 1: to play their best ball, and he's showing it as 959 00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:17,200 Speaker 1: well as as well as other guys. But you know, 960 00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:21,400 Speaker 1: like with flows of a of a guy's career, like 961 00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:26,000 Speaker 1: he knows what's next, so he's he's playing for bigger purposes, 962 00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:28,960 Speaker 1: like he has family, he has emotions, he has teammates, 963 00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:34,560 Speaker 1: he has his individual battle with Damar and everything everything 964 00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:38,200 Speaker 1: goes into the individual players. So you're seeing all like 965 00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:41,160 Speaker 1: all those emotions hit the football field, which is a 966 00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:44,680 Speaker 1: beautiful site. All right. That's Dean Dawkins addressing the media 967 00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:50,280 Speaker 1: after the walkthrough practice today. Maybe Dion's most interesting comment 968 00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:56,479 Speaker 1: dealt with his characterization of the Bengals front seven, which 969 00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:59,839 Speaker 1: he said was, you know, kind of a lunch pale 970 00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:04,040 Speaker 1: group playing not only to the whistle, but through the whistle. 971 00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:06,920 Speaker 1: And that's kind of the description that you'll get, especially 972 00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:10,759 Speaker 1: of their front forward defenders Hubbard and Hendrickson in particular. 973 00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:16,120 Speaker 1: Those guys may not be considered elite athlete talents, but 974 00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:20,279 Speaker 1: those guys are grinders and they don't mind jumping into 975 00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:24,359 Speaker 1: the meat grinder for eighty plays if necessary. You see, 976 00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:26,359 Speaker 1: you're ready. At the end of the football game last 977 00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,960 Speaker 1: week and Hubbards running ninety eight yards with a fumble return, 978 00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:32,400 Speaker 1: taking the oxygen mask afterwards on the sidelines. If that 979 00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:39,719 Speaker 1: play doesn't happen, everything stays the same. They win, Baltimore wins. Yeah, 980 00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:45,000 Speaker 1: I get it. You're right. They are. They're really Their 981 00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:49,520 Speaker 1: defense statistically is just shy of buffaloes. They're gritty, they're 982 00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:54,399 Speaker 1: very there. And we talked to Dave Lappin this week 983 00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:57,759 Speaker 1: on Bills by the Numbers. He said, they they are 984 00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:01,319 Speaker 1: a finish the play kind of defense. They give up 985 00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:04,040 Speaker 1: a big play and it turns into a fumble for them, 986 00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:07,759 Speaker 1: and it goes the other way. They continue to do 987 00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:13,120 Speaker 1: things even if you think you've got them. It's that 988 00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:17,840 Speaker 1: kind of attitude defense. Very gritty, very gritty. One of 989 00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:19,960 Speaker 1: those easy defenses if you're a fan of that team, 990 00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:21,880 Speaker 1: is an easy defense to cheer for, you know, because 991 00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:23,959 Speaker 1: they're always doing something, even if they don't look great 992 00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,600 Speaker 1: doing it all of a sudden, because they just give 993 00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:30,520 Speaker 1: that extras something something, something great happens for him. Those 994 00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:33,400 Speaker 1: are hard defenses. To play against. They really are, because 995 00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:34,920 Speaker 1: when you think you've got a good play and you're 996 00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:37,560 Speaker 1: about to go down, somebody jumps in, punches it out late, 997 00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:40,920 Speaker 1: and it's a tragedy instead of victory. And I know 998 00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:46,600 Speaker 1: that Bills fans love what Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer 999 00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:51,520 Speaker 1: have provided this defense over the years. Cincinnati has a 1000 00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:55,480 Speaker 1: similar tandem in Von Bell and Jesse Bates, two guys 1001 00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:58,240 Speaker 1: you know that are Pro Bowl caliber players. They could 1002 00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:03,120 Speaker 1: takeaways and they're really good at disguising coverage post snap. 1003 00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:06,200 Speaker 1: They do a lot of similar things as a tandem 1004 00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:09,240 Speaker 1: that Pawyer and Hide have done for years here. So 1005 00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:12,920 Speaker 1: it's a safety tandem that needs to be respected in 1006 00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:16,880 Speaker 1: the passing game maybe more than anywhere else. Yeah, yeah, 1007 00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:21,120 Speaker 1: as proud of Bills fans are of the safety tandem 1008 00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:25,880 Speaker 1: when they're healthy. That's exactly what Cincinnati's at. So as 1009 00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,240 Speaker 1: you get into these games, these divisional games, the chap 1010 00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:31,280 Speaker 1: AFC Championship, Conference championships, and certainly the Super Bowl, you're 1011 00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:36,000 Speaker 1: playing teams not only they're gifted, but they've been productive 1012 00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:41,040 Speaker 1: and they're playing on an uptick. Yeah, you know, they're 1013 00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:44,960 Speaker 1: they've got a lot of confidence going and they have 1014 00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:49,840 Speaker 1: learned to play with whatever limitations they have, limit those 1015 00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:52,880 Speaker 1: and maximize their gifts. Man, they're really tough to beat 1016 00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:55,200 Speaker 1: all these teams, and that includes the Bills, of course 1017 00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,360 Speaker 1: they're in that mix. But I think these games, the 1018 00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:03,680 Speaker 1: four games, and I'm looking at even the Chiefs Jaguars game, 1019 00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:05,760 Speaker 1: where you got a Jags team who was had technically 1020 00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,400 Speaker 1: they were division champs, but they were, you know, and 1021 00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:12,160 Speaker 1: they and they get in and they win last week 1022 00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:15,800 Speaker 1: over a Chargers team that was probably more gifted than 1023 00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:20,360 Speaker 1: they were. All I see all four of these games 1024 00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:23,440 Speaker 1: NFC and a FCS one score games this weekend. I 1025 00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:25,120 Speaker 1: think it's really going to be tough to go off 1026 00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:28,280 Speaker 1: and leave one of these teams on the scoreboard because 1027 00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:31,400 Speaker 1: they're good enough to come back. Even when they mess around. 1028 00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:33,680 Speaker 1: When the Bills turn it over three times, they still 1029 00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:36,200 Speaker 1: end up having a ten point lead late in the game. 1030 00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,920 Speaker 1: You know, the Chiefs, we've seen them stumble and fumble around, 1031 00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:43,480 Speaker 1: get taken to overtime by the Houston Texans and you know, okay, 1032 00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:45,040 Speaker 1: we win it. They just go ahead and win it. 1033 00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:48,520 Speaker 1: So they're able to overcome their own mistakes and they're 1034 00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:51,680 Speaker 1: used to it. They're they're not afraid of one score games. 1035 00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:55,480 Speaker 1: They're just comfortable. They got a lot of confidence on 1036 00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:57,640 Speaker 1: both sides of the ball, all these teams. So I 1037 00:59:57,680 --> 01:00:00,320 Speaker 1: think these are really close games, really close all the 1038 01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:03,800 Speaker 1: way across the board. Buffalo Cincinnati no different. Yeah, I 1039 01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:05,680 Speaker 1: think you gotta buckle up, and I think hebby. I 1040 01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:09,600 Speaker 1: gotta think you gotta be prepared to be nauseous match. Yeah, 1041 01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:11,840 Speaker 1: You're gonna have to be prepared to be nauseous because 1042 01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:14,600 Speaker 1: it's not gonna look good at times. Yeah, and it 1043 01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:17,800 Speaker 1: could come down to who has the ball asked, quite frankly, Yeah, 1044 01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:21,360 Speaker 1: that could be the no matter, no matter how much 1045 01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:24,800 Speaker 1: or how little times on the thing exactly we've heard 1046 01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:26,760 Speaker 1: from the offensive side of the ball. Now, let's go 1047 01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:31,040 Speaker 1: back to the post practice lectern and here the defense's 1048 01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:34,400 Speaker 1: perspective on this upcoming game with the Bengals. Here is 1049 01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:38,560 Speaker 1: one of the defensive captains, Jordan Poyer, for two teams 1050 01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:42,080 Speaker 1: that shared a similar experience three weeks ago. And you 1051 01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:45,080 Speaker 1: guys came together as captains on the field, off the field, 1052 01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:47,400 Speaker 1: what do you think the start of this game will 1053 01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:51,280 Speaker 1: be like? Emotionally knowing you know how that game ended. 1054 01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:55,720 Speaker 1: That's a good question. Everybody thought about that. Um, you know, 1055 01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:57,840 Speaker 1: I think obviously two teams that you know, we're in 1056 01:00:57,880 --> 01:01:00,320 Speaker 1: the playoffs, want to win. Obviously going through it through 1057 01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:03,600 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks back. Um, you know, I think 1058 01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:06,320 Speaker 1: the good thing that everybody feels good about is that 1059 01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:09,120 Speaker 1: dam is back and he's in the building now, he's 1060 01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:11,800 Speaker 1: he's he's here today. Um. You know, it's just awesome 1061 01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:14,960 Speaker 1: to see him and and and in great spirits back here. 1062 01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:16,960 Speaker 1: And it brings all of our spirits together so and 1063 01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:19,640 Speaker 1: brings all of our spirits up. So, Um, you know, 1064 01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:21,560 Speaker 1: I don't think it should be any different than any 1065 01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:23,840 Speaker 1: other game that we've been in I've been a part of. Obviously, 1066 01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:26,240 Speaker 1: Like I said, two teams that two really good teams 1067 01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:29,040 Speaker 1: that want to win. It's playoffs, and so we're expecting 1068 01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:31,640 Speaker 1: a really great atmosphere and we're excited for the opportunity. 1069 01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:36,760 Speaker 1: Does that help emotionally knowing see get past what happened 1070 01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:39,760 Speaker 1: for you guys, we start seeing the mark here and 1071 01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:42,400 Speaker 1: smiling and all that. Yeah, I said, I think it 1072 01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:45,000 Speaker 1: brings everybody's spirits up. Um. And I think after you know, 1073 01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:47,600 Speaker 1: the Patriots game, we kind of dealt with the biggest 1074 01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:50,640 Speaker 1: amount of emotions. Um, you know, a week a week later. 1075 01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:52,960 Speaker 1: But like I said, d Han's back in the building now, 1076 01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:54,960 Speaker 1: and you know, it's awesome to see his face as 1077 01:01:55,200 --> 01:01:56,960 Speaker 1: awesome to see him smiling again. And so I don't 1078 01:01:56,960 --> 01:01:59,000 Speaker 1: think this game will be any different. It's kind of 1079 01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:01,800 Speaker 1: unique in a sense that you know, you've played part 1080 01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:04,960 Speaker 1: of the first quarter against them January second, and now 1081 01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:07,640 Speaker 1: you have them here. But in terms of preparations, how 1082 01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:10,120 Speaker 1: does that make it different? Can you take anything from 1083 01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:12,480 Speaker 1: from the preps you did at that time and kind 1084 01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:15,400 Speaker 1: of roll it into this game. Yeah, I think you can, Um, 1085 01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:17,480 Speaker 1: you know, pick some stuff here and there. You know, 1086 01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:20,560 Speaker 1: we only had eight plays in the game, and so 1087 01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:22,880 Speaker 1: when you go back and you look at those eight plays, 1088 01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:24,600 Speaker 1: you can kind of get a sense of you know, 1089 01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:26,680 Speaker 1: and they're they're feeling the same way. You know, get 1090 01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:28,280 Speaker 1: a sense of how they were trying to attack us 1091 01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:30,960 Speaker 1: in the same vice versa how we were trying to 1092 01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,800 Speaker 1: attack them. And so obviously, you know, probably a couple 1093 01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:36,720 Speaker 1: more wrinkles here and there for both sides of the football. So, um, 1094 01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:38,440 Speaker 1: like I said, we're excited about the opportunity. It's a 1095 01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:40,280 Speaker 1: good football team. We're a good football team too. It's 1096 01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:42,360 Speaker 1: gonna be a hell of atmosphere and we're excited to play. 1097 01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:46,000 Speaker 1: Have you seen Kayer you to develop, you know, since 1098 01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:48,560 Speaker 1: the beginning of his rookie Yeah, just continuing to grow 1099 01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:50,480 Speaker 1: each and every week, Um, each and every day, each 1100 01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:53,080 Speaker 1: and every week. UM. It's a player that you know, 1101 01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:55,200 Speaker 1: I respect a lot just because you know the where 1102 01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:56,800 Speaker 1: actually I see the work that he puts into his 1103 01:02:56,920 --> 01:02:59,080 Speaker 1: craft and you know he's starting to see it payoff. 1104 01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:01,120 Speaker 1: You know, the big plays that he made over the 1105 01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:03,040 Speaker 1: last weekend, and you know the plays that he's going 1106 01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:04,960 Speaker 1: to continue to make for telp Our team win football 1107 01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:07,320 Speaker 1: games and so um. Just a really smart player, really 1108 01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:09,920 Speaker 1: dedicated player who you know, he's coming along his own 1109 01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:12,160 Speaker 1: as a rookie. Um. You know, it's it's not an 1110 01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:15,080 Speaker 1: easy positioned to be in, you know, as a rookie corner, 1111 01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:17,640 Speaker 1: especially first round pick having to you know, him and 1112 01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:19,760 Speaker 1: Dane are coming on and off the field every series 1113 01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:22,880 Speaker 1: or so, and so UM, you know, I respect him 1114 01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:24,640 Speaker 1: for his craft and what he's been able to do 1115 01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:27,040 Speaker 1: for us, um as a rookie, and you know he's 1116 01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:30,479 Speaker 1: going to continue to make plays for us. What stands 1117 01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:32,480 Speaker 1: out to you about Joe Burrow. Obviously one of the 1118 01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:34,120 Speaker 1: top quarterbacks in the league. But why do you think 1119 01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:36,680 Speaker 1: he's so special? Yeah, you know, I think he just 1120 01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:40,240 Speaker 1: has a very good command of that offense and what 1121 01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:42,280 Speaker 1: he's able to do. Obviously, has a lot of trust 1122 01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:44,840 Speaker 1: in his receivers. Um, you know, one of the top 1123 01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:48,120 Speaker 1: receiving corps in the in the in the in the NFL. So, UM, 1124 01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:51,040 Speaker 1: you know, he has a very good understanding of what 1125 01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:53,280 Speaker 1: he sees on the other side of the football. Um, 1126 01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:56,040 Speaker 1: he has a very good understanding of of of timing 1127 01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:59,400 Speaker 1: and his receivers that routes and um, he's very smart, 1128 01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:01,640 Speaker 1: very intel leg and so UM got a lot of 1129 01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:03,600 Speaker 1: respect for Joe Burrow and what he's what he's been 1130 01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:05,760 Speaker 1: able to do ever since you know LSU, even what 1131 01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:07,640 Speaker 1: he's been able to do since he came into the league, 1132 01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:09,800 Speaker 1: and you know, to see him grow into you know, 1133 01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:11,480 Speaker 1: who he is now. So you know, we're gonna have 1134 01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:13,280 Speaker 1: our hands full. We're gonna have to play extremely able 1135 01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:16,280 Speaker 1: to win. Um. And uh, you know, they got good players. 1136 01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:18,080 Speaker 1: We got good players as well. So it's gonna be fun. 1137 01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:20,919 Speaker 1: That's because it was the first time you faced Joe. 1138 01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:24,440 Speaker 1: UM was it good even though you had eight ninety 1139 01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:27,280 Speaker 1: seven plays, Was it good to get an on field 1140 01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:30,880 Speaker 1: sense of rhythm or or just kind of at least 1141 01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:33,280 Speaker 1: get that first taste because you guys, you guys have 1142 01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:36,080 Speaker 1: never faced them before. Yeah. I mean, I think every 1143 01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:38,600 Speaker 1: game has its has its own way of you know, 1144 01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:41,600 Speaker 1: you know, feeling the rhythm throughout the game. And you know, 1145 01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:44,600 Speaker 1: it's hard to get into a good rhythm, you know, 1146 01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:47,240 Speaker 1: seven eight plays into the game, and so you know, 1147 01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:49,240 Speaker 1: you know, as the game goes along, you start to 1148 01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:51,440 Speaker 1: get a better field of the game. And so, um, 1149 01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:54,080 Speaker 1: you know that experience that we had in Cincinnati, it's 1150 01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:56,400 Speaker 1: gonna be a totally different experience. You know, come in 1151 01:04:56,480 --> 01:04:59,800 Speaker 1: here to Buffalo and playing here. So um, like Sarialy, 1152 01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:01,480 Speaker 1: they got good players, we got good players too. It's 1153 01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:03,439 Speaker 1: gonna be a fun atmosphere and we're excited to play. 1154 01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:06,880 Speaker 1: But we're just want to follow up the word um 1155 01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:09,400 Speaker 1: and describing the relationship he has with those receivers. That's 1156 01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:11,040 Speaker 1: the way it's been described to me too, Like he's 1157 01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:13,800 Speaker 1: so accurate that ball's going to the spot. There's a 1158 01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:16,240 Speaker 1: lot of yards after the catch type thing. Because I 1159 01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:18,600 Speaker 1: make it kind of a unique challenge and having a 1160 01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:20,720 Speaker 1: place them is that the biggest thing? Uh, you know, 1161 01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:22,200 Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of I mean, they're they're 1162 01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:25,440 Speaker 1: good players. Like I said, they've jamar and and and Joe. 1163 01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:27,160 Speaker 1: They've been playing together for a long time and so 1164 01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:30,080 Speaker 1: that timing and itself has been there before they even 1165 01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:33,520 Speaker 1: got to Cincinnati, and so, um, you know, they don't 1166 01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:35,880 Speaker 1: run a complicated offense. But what they do is they 1167 01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:39,720 Speaker 1: do what they do well. Um, and their receivers make plays. 1168 01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:42,080 Speaker 1: They like you said, you run after the catch, um 1169 01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:44,840 Speaker 1: the yak yards and and um he's able to. You know, 1170 01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:47,280 Speaker 1: there's a lot of routes that you know, chases at 1171 01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:49,480 Speaker 1: the top of his route and Joe's already throwing the 1172 01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:52,640 Speaker 1: ball before he gets out of his break, and so um, yeah, 1173 01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:54,680 Speaker 1: it does make it a challenge in but you know, 1174 01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:56,560 Speaker 1: at the same time, we're gonna have to They're gonna 1175 01:05:56,560 --> 01:05:58,200 Speaker 1: make some plays. We're just gonna have to be able 1176 01:05:58,240 --> 01:05:59,720 Speaker 1: to you know, they get catch the ball, we have 1177 01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:02,400 Speaker 1: to be catch tackle and limit yards after catching, limit 1178 01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:04,880 Speaker 1: explosive plays. And you know, you guys aren't going to 1179 01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:08,040 Speaker 1: have like this week obviously, but is there almost like 1180 01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:10,760 Speaker 1: an extra motivation just to give him a chance to 1181 01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:13,000 Speaker 1: get back. Yeah, I think it's been extra motivation all 1182 01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:15,600 Speaker 1: season long. Um, you know he's been in the building, 1183 01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:18,640 Speaker 1: you know, in the meetings, just helping us out, um, 1184 01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:21,800 Speaker 1: you know, helping myself, helping the younger guys out in 1185 01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:23,760 Speaker 1: the position, telling us what he sees. So it's it's 1186 01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:25,800 Speaker 1: been awesome to have him. You know, it's like he's 1187 01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:28,480 Speaker 1: never left obviously other than being on the field with me. 1188 01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:31,440 Speaker 1: So m yeah, I guess he could say, does give 1189 01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:33,560 Speaker 1: you extra motivation? I would love to play with Mike again, 1190 01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:37,040 Speaker 1: and you know he's working extremely hard to get back, 1191 01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:40,400 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, we'll see what happens, all right. 1192 01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:44,640 Speaker 1: So that's Jordan Poyer addressing the media, and I found 1193 01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:50,200 Speaker 1: it interesting his characterization of how how the first meeting 1194 01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:52,280 Speaker 1: between these two teams three weeks ago, even though it 1195 01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:57,720 Speaker 1: was only about fifteen eighteen plays play, really isn't going 1196 01:06:57,800 --> 01:07:00,440 Speaker 1: to amount too much for them because he thinks this 1197 01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:02,560 Speaker 1: is gonna be a totally different thing, which I mean 1198 01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:05,320 Speaker 1: every game is, even though the same people might be 1199 01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:09,040 Speaker 1: on the field, but the whole vibe going into the game, 1200 01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:13,080 Speaker 1: what's on the line is different. And so I think 1201 01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:15,600 Speaker 1: they feel that this game will be completely different from 1202 01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:18,000 Speaker 1: that one. And I just get the sense they don't 1203 01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:20,120 Speaker 1: feel that they can pull too much from that one. 1204 01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:22,840 Speaker 1: I don't either. I don't think they can. Certainly they're 1205 01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:25,000 Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna be watching one extra game of film 1206 01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:28,560 Speaker 1: from week eighteen and then yet last week as well. 1207 01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:34,840 Speaker 1: That's about it. The Baltimore game is gonna look completely 1208 01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:36,560 Speaker 1: different than anything the Bills are gonna want to do 1209 01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:44,640 Speaker 1: against these guys. The Miami game with Skyler Thompson, how 1210 01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:46,520 Speaker 1: much is that going to tell them about what they 1211 01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:51,680 Speaker 1: can do against the Bills. Yeah, there's Yeah, it's I 1212 01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:53,440 Speaker 1: think it's a wash. I think you just go out 1213 01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:55,360 Speaker 1: and play it like a fresh game. And I don't know, 1214 01:07:55,520 --> 01:07:57,480 Speaker 1: and I think it'll it'll feel like a fresh game 1215 01:07:57,520 --> 01:08:01,200 Speaker 1: because it's gonna be in Buffalo. Well, right, it's gonna 1216 01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:03,240 Speaker 1: be a home playoff game. It's not just gonna be 1217 01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:05,040 Speaker 1: a Monday night game. Although it was a big game. 1218 01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:07,960 Speaker 1: This is going to be a completely different animal than 1219 01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:12,520 Speaker 1: the one was in Cincinnati. Yeah, the Bills Wednesday injury 1220 01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:16,200 Speaker 1: report is out. There are new additions to the injury report. 1221 01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:19,720 Speaker 1: Dane Jackson, as we anticipated, who left last week's game 1222 01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:23,840 Speaker 1: with a knee injury was considered a limited participant now, 1223 01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:26,679 Speaker 1: as we told you earlier, today was just to walk 1224 01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:31,759 Speaker 1: through practice. So these practice participation levels are an estimate 1225 01:08:32,240 --> 01:08:34,080 Speaker 1: of where each of these players would be had they 1226 01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:37,600 Speaker 1: practiced in a normal fashion, you know, with shells and 1227 01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:41,880 Speaker 1: team segments, the whole thing. Dane Jackson a limited participant 1228 01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:44,479 Speaker 1: with a knee injury, and new to the injury report, 1229 01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:48,720 Speaker 1: Dea Kwon Jones limited with a calf injury. So we'll 1230 01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:50,240 Speaker 1: have to keep an eye on those two as the 1231 01:08:50,280 --> 01:08:54,200 Speaker 1: week progresses. The good news is Isaiah McKenzie is a 1232 01:08:54,400 --> 01:08:57,760 Speaker 1: full participant coming off the hamstring injury that kept him 1233 01:08:57,760 --> 01:09:00,960 Speaker 1: out of last week's game. Jordan phil who's been dealing 1234 01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:04,160 Speaker 1: with the shoulder injury for weeks now, a limited participant, 1235 01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:07,040 Speaker 1: as was Jordan Poyer with his knee injury, but that's 1236 01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:09,439 Speaker 1: kind of been par for the course the last several weeks. 1237 01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:12,760 Speaker 1: He practices on a limited basis, if at all, all 1238 01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:16,600 Speaker 1: week long, and then suits up for the game. So 1239 01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:20,679 Speaker 1: those are the headlines from the injury report for today, 1240 01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:24,320 Speaker 1: and obviously we'll watch and see how people progress through 1241 01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:25,960 Speaker 1: the course of the week. With the Thursday and then 1242 01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:30,400 Speaker 1: finally the Friday injury report. Daquan Jones has been a 1243 01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:33,559 Speaker 1: horse for this team all season long. I think every 1244 01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:35,800 Speaker 1: one of the other defensive tackles has missed time with 1245 01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:39,400 Speaker 1: injuries this year, and Jones has not, so they really 1246 01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:41,000 Speaker 1: need him to get healthy in a hurry this week. 1247 01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:45,519 Speaker 1: They're gonna need him deck always as it is in 1248 01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:49,080 Speaker 1: the playoffs. But yeah, and we've said it from the 1249 01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:53,560 Speaker 1: beginning of the season, the difference this season is the 1250 01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:56,160 Speaker 1: play of the defensive defensively has been the play of 1251 01:09:56,160 --> 01:10:01,000 Speaker 1: the defensive tackles down inside. Jones, Settle decidedly better than 1252 01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:05,800 Speaker 1: lasted right and Jordan Phillips. Those guys have been fantastic 1253 01:10:06,080 --> 01:10:09,080 Speaker 1: all the way around, and it's really helped the pass 1254 01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:10,640 Speaker 1: rush a lot in a lot of in a lot 1255 01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:12,760 Speaker 1: of ways. I'm sure Von Miller appreciated it as well 1256 01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:17,760 Speaker 1: when he was playing. So yeah, it'll be interesting to 1257 01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:23,439 Speaker 1: see how it Injury wise, the Bills are way healthier 1258 01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:27,120 Speaker 1: than the Cincinnati Bengals. Yeah, the Bills are walking in 1259 01:10:27,200 --> 01:10:29,559 Speaker 1: there with their full compliment of offensive linemen. The Bengals 1260 01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:33,080 Speaker 1: are not by any stretch of the imagination. So you 1261 01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:35,800 Speaker 1: know that's one plus for Buffalo. But you still got 1262 01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:39,880 Speaker 1: to play. I'm gonna check and see if the injury 1263 01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:42,040 Speaker 1: report for the Bengals is out yet for this week, 1264 01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:46,880 Speaker 1: and it is not, so we wait on that and 1265 01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:50,840 Speaker 1: for information there because they have two linemen that are 1266 01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:54,280 Speaker 1: of interest, who starting offensive linemen that are anticipated to 1267 01:10:54,360 --> 01:10:56,439 Speaker 1: appear on the injury report. We'll see if they have 1268 01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:59,920 Speaker 1: any participation in practice, and there are other guys kind 1269 01:10:59,960 --> 01:11:02,880 Speaker 1: of scattered across their roster that are a little nicked 1270 01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:08,599 Speaker 1: up going into this one. Let's take a look at 1271 01:11:08,680 --> 01:11:11,559 Speaker 1: the tweet sheet here while we have some time. As 1272 01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:15,120 Speaker 1: we were asking you today for your biggest storyline for 1273 01:11:15,280 --> 01:11:18,880 Speaker 1: Sunday's game against the Bengals. Tweet sheet brought to you, 1274 01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:21,960 Speaker 1: as always by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving 1275 01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:26,160 Speaker 1: company of the Buffalo Bills, and Michael leads us off 1276 01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:29,920 Speaker 1: by saying, ball security on offense and can the defense 1277 01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:32,960 Speaker 1: provide a score to change momentum. Bills only have one 1278 01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:37,519 Speaker 1: defensive touchdown all season and that was Week two. Well, 1279 01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:39,280 Speaker 1: you are right about that. It was a Matt Milano 1280 01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:42,240 Speaker 1: interception return against the Titans on Monday Night Football. That 1281 01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:46,120 Speaker 1: is their only defensive touchdown. They did get a key 1282 01:11:46,160 --> 01:11:49,639 Speaker 1: takeaway deep in Miami territory last week from Kyrie Elam 1283 01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:52,320 Speaker 1: that led to a go ahead touchdown. So that was 1284 01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:55,960 Speaker 1: a positive. Yeah, I'll take a defensive touchdown any day 1285 01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:58,599 Speaker 1: of the week. I'll sign up for that. Oh, are 1286 01:11:58,640 --> 01:12:01,960 Speaker 1: you kidding? Almost makes you feel like the Bills are 1287 01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:05,320 Speaker 1: overdue for one of them. Oh, listen to you spin 1288 01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:08,200 Speaker 1: it the law of averages. Spinning it all positive and 1289 01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:14,759 Speaker 1: stuff of averages to get you. Yeah. Yeah, it's Defense 1290 01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:17,200 Speaker 1: in the playoffs is about playmaking. It's not about being 1291 01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:20,599 Speaker 1: stifling usually, it's not about being a stifling run defense 1292 01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:22,600 Speaker 1: or whatever. Because you're playing against a team, particularly in 1293 01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:25,360 Speaker 1: this day and age, against offenses that everything's tilted in 1294 01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:27,280 Speaker 1: their favor and they should be able to play really well. 1295 01:12:27,680 --> 01:12:31,479 Speaker 1: Even the Giants are looking good offensively. I say even 1296 01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:34,280 Speaker 1: the Giants because you know they're challenged on the outside, 1297 01:12:34,360 --> 01:12:40,000 Speaker 1: so they got a tight end playing x SO and 1298 01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:42,479 Speaker 1: this point of the season and this point in history, 1299 01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:46,800 Speaker 1: defense is about doing something spectacular, punching the ball out, 1300 01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:51,880 Speaker 1: getting a turnover, getting a sack, you know, intercepting that 1301 01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:54,240 Speaker 1: kind of thing. It's not so much about you know, 1302 01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:57,360 Speaker 1: keeping them to under fifty yards rushing for the game. 1303 01:12:57,439 --> 01:13:00,040 Speaker 1: That you know, it's about making plays. You know, you 1304 01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:03,320 Speaker 1: give up yards for Christmas. You give these guys a 1305 01:13:03,520 --> 01:13:05,479 Speaker 1: gift wrap yards if they'll cough it up at the 1306 01:13:05,560 --> 01:13:07,960 Speaker 1: end of it. Yeah, that's the way the game's played 1307 01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:10,880 Speaker 1: these days. So yeah, and seeing that the Bills have 1308 01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:14,680 Speaker 1: one defensive touchdown all year, man, old man, wouldn't it 1309 01:13:14,720 --> 01:13:17,479 Speaker 1: be nice if they were due? Neil on the tweet 1310 01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:20,720 Speaker 1: sheet for his storyline for this game, says, can the 1311 01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:24,679 Speaker 1: Bills pass rush make enough disruptive plays against a banged 1312 01:13:24,760 --> 01:13:28,080 Speaker 1: up Bengals? Oh? Lie, that could be the crux of 1313 01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:33,360 Speaker 1: this matchup for sure. Steve, you had a stat earlier 1314 01:13:33,439 --> 01:13:37,479 Speaker 1: today about Burrow getting sacked a certain number of times 1315 01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:41,479 Speaker 1: in a football game. If it's under four, his record 1316 01:13:41,640 --> 01:13:45,200 Speaker 1: is like twenty and three's and if he's sacked more 1317 01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:48,160 Speaker 1: than four times, he's like four and eight. He's twenty 1318 01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:51,439 Speaker 1: two and three. Since the beginning of last season, when 1319 01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:55,280 Speaker 1: he sacked fewer than four times in a game, he's 1320 01:13:55,320 --> 01:13:57,559 Speaker 1: four and eight. If he sacked more than four times, 1321 01:13:57,680 --> 01:14:01,720 Speaker 1: Get home, boys, Get home. I got to get him 1322 01:14:01,720 --> 01:14:03,400 Speaker 1: on the ground. You got to get him on the ground. 1323 01:14:03,439 --> 01:14:06,880 Speaker 1: And you know, for me, what will happen is they'll 1324 01:14:06,960 --> 01:14:09,479 Speaker 1: they'll it'll be a game where they're down close. All 1325 01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:11,760 Speaker 1: my guys, they're gonna win, and he'll get the four 1326 01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:13,760 Speaker 1: You'll get the fifth sack on the last play of 1327 01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:17,880 Speaker 1: the game, you know, because we will never help us, right, 1328 01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:20,200 Speaker 1: you never get four sacks on the first four past 1329 01:14:20,280 --> 01:14:22,040 Speaker 1: plays of the game to say, okay, we got a 1330 01:14:22,120 --> 01:14:24,519 Speaker 1: chance in this. You know, it always happens at the 1331 01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:28,320 Speaker 1: end when when it's difference making. So yeah, that that 1332 01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:31,519 Speaker 1: was interesting to me. And certainly you know, Joe Burrow 1333 01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:35,360 Speaker 1: notoriously won a playoff game getting sacked nine times um 1334 01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:39,720 Speaker 1: last year. That was that was a huge story going 1335 01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:44,160 Speaker 1: into the AFC Championship game in Kansas City. So it uh, 1336 01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:48,679 Speaker 1: it remains to be part of his story. He even 1337 01:14:48,720 --> 01:14:50,680 Speaker 1: at the beginning of this year and late last year. 1338 01:14:51,800 --> 01:14:54,440 Speaker 1: Really it's hard to find fault with most of these quarterbacks. 1339 01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:57,639 Speaker 1: Josh you can say, well, he plays a little hero ball. Yeah, okay, 1340 01:14:57,800 --> 01:15:00,280 Speaker 1: that's that's who he is. And Mahomes does some crazy 1341 01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:02,920 Speaker 1: stuff with the ball. They turn it over a little 1342 01:15:02,920 --> 01:15:05,920 Speaker 1: too much, okay, but you've got to be willing to 1343 01:15:06,080 --> 01:15:11,040 Speaker 1: live with it. And it's been said about Joe Burrow 1344 01:15:11,800 --> 01:15:13,000 Speaker 1: one of the things he does once in a while 1345 01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:15,559 Speaker 1: to hang onto a little too long, and that does 1346 01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:17,680 Speaker 1: lead to some extra sacks once in a while. Now 1347 01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:20,000 Speaker 1: they're better around him, and he's better at it as 1348 01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:23,120 Speaker 1: time passes, as he's learning as well. He's not stupid. 1349 01:15:23,560 --> 01:15:26,519 Speaker 1: He learns too. But that's one of the things early on, 1350 01:15:27,160 --> 01:15:29,800 Speaker 1: like last year and this year, that you know, maybe 1351 01:15:29,840 --> 01:15:31,320 Speaker 1: he does hang on to it a little too long. 1352 01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:35,880 Speaker 1: Von Miller a while, is around the facility on a 1353 01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:38,519 Speaker 1: daily basis. He's in meetings, he's hanging with his teammates 1354 01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:42,080 Speaker 1: even though he cannot play. Did something interesting in the 1355 01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:44,479 Speaker 1: Bills locker room today. We'll tell you what it was 1356 01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:47,439 Speaker 1: when we return here on one Bill's Live, presented by 1357 01:15:47,479 --> 01:16:07,559 Speaker 1: Kalid to Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All Right, welcome 1358 01:16:07,600 --> 01:16:09,759 Speaker 1: back to one of Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, 1359 01:16:10,040 --> 01:16:13,479 Speaker 1: and quickly Von Miller, who has been around the team 1360 01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:15,080 Speaker 1: as we know, he's been at the last couple of 1361 01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:18,240 Speaker 1: games on the sideline, you know, kind of being here 1362 01:16:18,320 --> 01:16:21,519 Speaker 1: for his teammates. Went into the locker room today with 1363 01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:25,080 Speaker 1: a replicable Lombardi trophy, put it down and basically said, 1364 01:16:25,720 --> 01:16:28,840 Speaker 1: you said you'd do anything for it. Now's the time. 1365 01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:36,080 Speaker 1: I kind of like it making a statement. I know 1366 01:16:36,200 --> 01:16:38,680 Speaker 1: how everybody gets these superstitious things like it used to be. 1367 01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:41,920 Speaker 1: Couldn't nobody in interviews or television interviews or radio interviews 1368 01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:44,160 Speaker 1: could ever mention the word super Bowl and all that stuff. 1369 01:16:44,320 --> 01:16:47,920 Speaker 1: Nobody would touch the kind nobody championship and all that stuff. Yeah, 1370 01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:49,960 Speaker 1: none of that, None of that matters. That you got 1371 01:16:50,040 --> 01:16:53,280 Speaker 1: to you. You know, I'm not saying I'm not saying 1372 01:16:53,320 --> 01:16:55,599 Speaker 1: it's just as easy as speaking it into existence either, 1373 01:16:56,479 --> 01:16:59,680 Speaker 1: But do what you gotta do to put it, make 1374 01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:02,160 Speaker 1: it for all the guys. And that's and Vaughan did 1375 01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:05,240 Speaker 1: I mean bringing that trophy in and setting it down 1376 01:17:05,280 --> 01:17:07,080 Speaker 1: in front of those guys and saying you said you'd 1377 01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:10,000 Speaker 1: do anything for it. I've said this to a lot 1378 01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:14,960 Speaker 1: of football youth, a lot of young players during my time, 1379 01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:18,240 Speaker 1: where you go out and speak to young player as 1380 01:17:18,280 --> 01:17:21,400 Speaker 1: a former player and a former pro and even when 1381 01:17:21,439 --> 01:17:23,800 Speaker 1: I was a pro, you go out and you talk 1382 01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:26,200 Speaker 1: to young kids and they want to be a pro 1383 01:17:26,320 --> 01:17:29,479 Speaker 1: football player so bad, and they tell you that they'll 1384 01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:31,160 Speaker 1: say these words, I'll do anything to be a pro 1385 01:17:31,280 --> 01:17:33,760 Speaker 1: football player. You'll do anything to be a pro football player. 1386 01:17:33,800 --> 01:17:35,960 Speaker 1: You know, I say, okay, that's great. And then you 1387 01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:37,880 Speaker 1: get to the pros and you get drafted by a 1388 01:17:37,920 --> 01:17:40,080 Speaker 1: pro not only will you not do everything to be 1389 01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:43,920 Speaker 1: a pro football player, you won't cover kicks. I'll do 1390 01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:45,760 Speaker 1: anything to be a pro football player. Oh, you won't 1391 01:17:45,760 --> 01:17:48,559 Speaker 1: cover kicks though. You won't cover kicks for the Buffalo 1392 01:17:48,680 --> 01:17:51,120 Speaker 1: Bills or the San Francisco forty nine ers. You don't 1393 01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:52,439 Speaker 1: do it. You ain't gonna do it. Unless you get 1394 01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:54,799 Speaker 1: to play running back or you get to play quarterback 1395 01:17:54,880 --> 01:17:57,719 Speaker 1: or tight end, you ain't gonna do it. What happened 1396 01:17:57,720 --> 01:18:01,280 Speaker 1: to I'll do anything? What happened into that? And it's 1397 01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:03,240 Speaker 1: a great reminder. You come in and set that trophy down. 1398 01:18:03,320 --> 01:18:07,920 Speaker 1: It's real. What you said you would do anything. What 1399 01:18:08,080 --> 01:18:11,759 Speaker 1: are you gonna do? Um, it's it's a real statement. 1400 01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:14,160 Speaker 1: And when you get to a point like this, it's 1401 01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:17,599 Speaker 1: all a fairy tale until you step onto the field. 1402 01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:21,120 Speaker 1: And I did it four times, and you know we 1403 01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:24,600 Speaker 1: lost all four. I don't know if you heard. You 1404 01:18:24,680 --> 01:18:27,840 Speaker 1: step onto that field. It's real, and it's all fairy 1405 01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:30,559 Speaker 1: tale up until you something happens that you see, Man, 1406 01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:33,000 Speaker 1: it's real. It's tangible. Not only that the guy that 1407 01:18:33,200 --> 01:18:34,960 Speaker 1: stuck the replica trophy down in the middle of the 1408 01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:37,320 Speaker 1: locker room is also one two of those. That's right, 1409 01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:40,200 Speaker 1: that's his first or second one, whichever one it is. 1410 01:18:40,800 --> 01:18:45,040 Speaker 1: Calling card. Yeah, that's that's really effective. And all this 1411 01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:46,920 Speaker 1: kid's stuff about it. I'm not going to touch the 1412 01:18:46,920 --> 01:18:49,040 Speaker 1: conference championship trophy. We ain't gonna do anything until it's 1413 01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:53,479 Speaker 1: until it's ours. Listen, whatever. You can make it a 1414 01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:56,639 Speaker 1: fairy tale if you want, but it's real. Yeah, it ain't. 1415 01:18:56,680 --> 01:19:01,120 Speaker 1: It ain't superstition, it's not hocus pocus. That trophy is. 1416 01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:03,519 Speaker 1: They're waiting to be won, and you better know what 1417 01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:06,840 Speaker 1: it looks like and feels like. Yeah, and you got 1418 01:19:06,960 --> 01:19:08,920 Speaker 1: to figure out until you do it. You got to 1419 01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:12,360 Speaker 1: figure out what it takes. And that's you know, Vaughan's there. 1420 01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:15,120 Speaker 1: And Vaughan has been awesome in the time that the 1421 01:19:15,160 --> 01:19:18,320 Speaker 1: Bills have had him. He speaks it, he is not shy, 1422 01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:23,280 Speaker 1: and I think it's awesome. Yeah, awesome. We turn now 1423 01:19:23,520 --> 01:19:29,320 Speaker 1: to the post practice lectern where Mitch Morse answered questions 1424 01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:32,280 Speaker 1: of the media following the walk through practice. Today. Here 1425 01:19:32,360 --> 01:19:36,200 Speaker 1: now is the Bills Center and it's three weeks passed, 1426 01:19:36,320 --> 01:19:40,599 Speaker 1: and yet you're facing a two agether something that happened 1427 01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:43,400 Speaker 1: on the field, and how much is are there any 1428 01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:47,320 Speaker 1: I guess I want to say residual emotions or if 1429 01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:51,240 Speaker 1: you guys kind of cleanse that given how bonded you, 1430 01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:54,800 Speaker 1: how you guys bonded and were able to emotionally flush 1431 01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:58,000 Speaker 1: and letters things over the past couple of weeks, Are 1432 01:19:58,080 --> 01:20:01,720 Speaker 1: there any lingering emotional residue from stepping out of that 1433 01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:05,360 Speaker 1: field again to face this team? I would I think 1434 01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:09,200 Speaker 1: if anything it was, the emotional residue would be to 1435 01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:12,400 Speaker 1: just be out there playing football more so than facing 1436 01:20:12,479 --> 01:20:15,879 Speaker 1: a team. You know, these two teams shared an experience 1437 01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:18,880 Speaker 1: that no other teams that I've known, you know, in 1438 01:20:18,960 --> 01:20:24,920 Speaker 1: different circumstances. Yes, but I wouldn't say there's any apprehension 1439 01:20:25,040 --> 01:20:29,360 Speaker 1: out there or residual effects. I think just being able 1440 01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:31,240 Speaker 1: to play ball these last few weeks has been good, 1441 01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:34,519 Speaker 1: you know. I think a few guys are still coming 1442 01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:37,360 Speaker 1: down emotionally, like kind of catching up on their rest 1443 01:20:37,439 --> 01:20:41,719 Speaker 1: and stuff. So for me personally, I can only speak 1444 01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:46,840 Speaker 1: for myself. It's subsided a bit. Who knows what how 1445 01:20:46,920 --> 01:20:50,200 Speaker 1: that might manifest itself on game day, But you go 1446 01:20:50,320 --> 01:20:52,439 Speaker 1: with the flow as you do within this game, and 1447 01:20:53,040 --> 01:20:56,360 Speaker 1: you know, it's that's a good question, but I think 1448 01:20:56,400 --> 01:21:00,519 Speaker 1: we're I think we're making the right steps to continue on. 1449 01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:03,880 Speaker 1: How much does it help seeing tomorrow Areva facility and 1450 01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:06,120 Speaker 1: be able to huge and see him to smile at 1451 01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:11,559 Speaker 1: all that accidentially? Yeah, it's it's it's uh, it helps. 1452 01:21:12,280 --> 01:21:16,600 Speaker 1: There's a lot of reprieve in seeing him and just 1453 01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:20,719 Speaker 1: kind of carrying conversations, chewing the fat. You know, he's 1454 01:21:21,160 --> 01:21:23,879 Speaker 1: he seems to be, you know, I think still physically 1455 01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:27,880 Speaker 1: very you know, yeah, tired and kind of coming out, 1456 01:21:27,920 --> 01:21:31,120 Speaker 1: but the guys in great spirits and and that also 1457 01:21:31,160 --> 01:21:34,160 Speaker 1: helps with the recovery process for all of us as well. Sure, 1458 01:21:34,320 --> 01:21:36,720 Speaker 1: Sean had you guys do a walk through today? Um, 1459 01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:39,680 Speaker 1: Josh said, it's nice because it's a long season and 1460 01:21:39,760 --> 01:21:42,120 Speaker 1: the fact that for us, you guys just to get 1461 01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:44,439 Speaker 1: the work you need in. How nice is it is 1462 01:21:44,479 --> 01:21:47,639 Speaker 1: a veteran who's just put miles on now this season 1463 01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:49,920 Speaker 1: to be able to take some time and just got 1464 01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:51,720 Speaker 1: to get that that type of work in. Yeah, that 1465 01:21:51,800 --> 01:21:56,840 Speaker 1: was huge. Um, you know, the thing is the catch 1466 01:21:56,920 --> 01:21:58,840 Speaker 1: twenty two of it is that you know, he puts 1467 01:21:58,960 --> 01:22:01,360 Speaker 1: the ball in your court to be professionals right now 1468 01:22:01,680 --> 01:22:04,479 Speaker 1: you have to get out. You can still get a 1469 01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:07,600 Speaker 1: tremendous amount out of walkthroughs if you apply yourself, and 1470 01:22:07,680 --> 01:22:11,600 Speaker 1: you can still use your technique and put time on 1471 01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:15,640 Speaker 1: task and build muscle memory and still get looks that 1472 01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:18,000 Speaker 1: you might see. So for us, it was just really 1473 01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:21,120 Speaker 1: locking in. You know, we might not physically be putting 1474 01:22:21,160 --> 01:22:23,680 Speaker 1: ourselves through it, but mentally we can go through the 1475 01:22:23,760 --> 01:22:27,320 Speaker 1: gymnastics of what we might see and still be able 1476 01:22:27,360 --> 01:22:32,360 Speaker 1: to do the foundational work physically to get what we 1477 01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:35,439 Speaker 1: need to get done because you just prepared for them 1478 01:22:35,720 --> 01:22:38,400 Speaker 1: three weeks ago May. For you, I mean, do you 1479 01:22:38,640 --> 01:22:42,960 Speaker 1: get drawings for both teams look a little deeper and 1480 01:22:43,120 --> 01:22:50,880 Speaker 1: more detailed than you might either. Yeah. For me, I 1481 01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:53,960 Speaker 1: still feel like I like to start from square one again. Yeah, 1482 01:22:53,960 --> 01:22:56,120 Speaker 1: there is that familiarity. You know, we only had ten 1483 01:22:56,160 --> 01:23:00,560 Speaker 1: plays on offense, maybe eleven and that one drive, so 1484 01:23:00,640 --> 01:23:02,640 Speaker 1: there's not much film to work with with what with 1485 01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:05,400 Speaker 1: what we had. But uh, like you said, they've played 1486 01:23:05,439 --> 01:23:10,120 Speaker 1: want the same team twice. For me, personally, I like 1487 01:23:10,200 --> 01:23:12,800 Speaker 1: to start from the very beginning with some familiarity. There's 1488 01:23:12,840 --> 01:23:14,599 Speaker 1: these sparks of them. You go back to your notes 1489 01:23:14,600 --> 01:23:18,080 Speaker 1: because you keep notebooks and you revisit those to see 1490 01:23:18,120 --> 01:23:20,439 Speaker 1: what kind of keys, and then we'll go through the 1491 01:23:20,800 --> 01:23:22,920 Speaker 1: third downs and all that stuff. So there'll be some 1492 01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:25,799 Speaker 1: familiarity in that part for sure. It'll be a refresher, 1493 01:23:25,920 --> 01:23:29,439 Speaker 1: but um, I'd just like to start from the very 1494 01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:34,240 Speaker 1: beginning again. They're twenty nine sex because that's a pride. 1495 01:23:36,120 --> 01:23:41,200 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, it does. They're, like I said, formidable to 1496 01:23:41,280 --> 01:23:45,679 Speaker 1: say the least. They have some incredible pass rushers, run stoppers. 1497 01:23:45,800 --> 01:23:48,320 Speaker 1: They just they played good defense and I think that 1498 01:23:48,520 --> 01:23:54,240 Speaker 1: front seven it can if you let them get going, 1499 01:23:55,160 --> 01:23:57,640 Speaker 1: they can really make a difference. So it'll be a 1500 01:23:57,680 --> 01:24:01,280 Speaker 1: great competitive battle. You you watch the film, the guys 1501 01:24:01,360 --> 01:24:06,320 Speaker 1: play with just a competitive edge and and uh you 1502 01:24:06,400 --> 01:24:08,679 Speaker 1: know you hear playing through the whistles so many times. 1503 01:24:08,720 --> 01:24:12,360 Speaker 1: But these guys really seem to thrive doing that and 1504 01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:15,919 Speaker 1: they get a lot of production by just out competing 1505 01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:18,960 Speaker 1: their opponent. When when you look at this last game, 1506 01:24:19,200 --> 01:24:21,759 Speaker 1: you see seven sacks at JOT, it stands out because 1507 01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:24,360 Speaker 1: I think there's only one game other game the season 1508 01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:27,920 Speaker 1: where he's had five or more as an offensive line group. 1509 01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:30,400 Speaker 1: You know what went into that and is when you 1510 01:24:30,439 --> 01:24:32,559 Speaker 1: see something like that in the meeting, So that where 1511 01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:35,160 Speaker 1: kind of rally around that, like not wanting to happen. 1512 01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:38,759 Speaker 1: You never want to give up sacks, and yes, seven 1513 01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:43,600 Speaker 1: was quite a daunting number. Um, I think we just 1514 01:24:43,720 --> 01:24:47,519 Speaker 1: rally around the fact that we uh, we double down 1515 01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:54,880 Speaker 1: on what we know works be very uh you know, intrinsically, 1516 01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:58,479 Speaker 1: look at ourselves, motivate ourselves. Um. We don't need much 1517 01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:02,120 Speaker 1: outside ra road to tell us that we you know, 1518 01:25:02,200 --> 01:25:06,479 Speaker 1: there's definitely room to improve in that department. You know, 1519 01:25:06,600 --> 01:25:08,920 Speaker 1: sometimes sacks is going to happen. It's part of the gig. 1520 01:25:09,720 --> 01:25:12,280 Speaker 1: But you know there's plenty of times in those instances 1521 01:25:12,360 --> 01:25:15,280 Speaker 1: where we could have done better, and we plan on 1522 01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:18,840 Speaker 1: fixing those mistakes and doing better. Josh was already playing 1523 01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:21,639 Speaker 1: at such a high caliber coming into this season, through 1524 01:25:21,680 --> 01:25:23,800 Speaker 1: the regular season playoffs. Is there any place that you 1525 01:25:23,920 --> 01:25:26,200 Speaker 1: see him to take a step this year that maybe 1526 01:25:26,240 --> 01:25:27,960 Speaker 1: it's behind the scenes or on the field, just that 1527 01:25:28,120 --> 01:25:30,719 Speaker 1: stands out even when he was doing so much already. 1528 01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:34,680 Speaker 1: I think it's consistency. It's always been a thing with him, 1529 01:25:36,520 --> 01:25:40,000 Speaker 1: but he just his consistent work ethic and being able 1530 01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:43,840 Speaker 1: to no matter when or lose, come back. Then you 1531 01:25:43,880 --> 01:25:46,840 Speaker 1: know that Wednesday or Tuesday, whenever his game planning week 1532 01:25:46,920 --> 01:25:50,160 Speaker 1: starts for the next opponent, having a clean sate slate 1533 01:25:50,280 --> 01:25:54,400 Speaker 1: with a kind of this fire to be the best 1534 01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:57,200 Speaker 1: he can be, and that kind of sets the groundwork 1535 01:25:57,280 --> 01:26:00,920 Speaker 1: for all of us to follow. And he has such 1536 01:26:00,960 --> 01:26:04,320 Speaker 1: a great combination of being this big kid but also 1537 01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:08,479 Speaker 1: a true professional and understands that he holds the weight 1538 01:26:08,560 --> 01:26:13,000 Speaker 1: of a franchise, you know. So I think he's just 1539 01:26:13,120 --> 01:26:17,680 Speaker 1: his consistency throughout the weeks and his ability to, you know, 1540 01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:20,960 Speaker 1: deal with injuries and him just go out there and 1541 01:26:22,120 --> 01:26:24,360 Speaker 1: not show it, be stoic when it's time to time. 1542 01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:27,320 Speaker 1: Is that it's greatest when the pressures at his highest. 1543 01:26:27,400 --> 01:26:30,439 Speaker 1: He seems to be at his commist all right, that's 1544 01:26:30,479 --> 01:26:33,720 Speaker 1: Mitch Morris addressing the media. We have to take a 1545 01:26:33,760 --> 01:26:36,200 Speaker 1: break here. When we come back. Some final thoughts on 1546 01:26:36,360 --> 01:26:38,840 Speaker 1: the tweet sheet here on one Bill's Live presented by 1547 01:26:38,920 --> 01:26:55,120 Speaker 1: Klota Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, some final 1548 01:26:55,160 --> 01:26:58,200 Speaker 1: thoughts on the tweet sheet in terms of the storyline 1549 01:26:58,400 --> 01:27:03,160 Speaker 1: you're expecting in Bill's Bengals on Sunday, Stephen says, I 1550 01:27:03,240 --> 01:27:05,960 Speaker 1: feel Beasley is starting to gain momentum as well. As Shaquire, 1551 01:27:06,080 --> 01:27:07,920 Speaker 1: I think we should look to see more production out 1552 01:27:07,920 --> 01:27:13,000 Speaker 1: of this area Sunday and as the playoffs proceed. Anything 1553 01:27:13,040 --> 01:27:16,639 Speaker 1: about that Beasley had two catches for thirty something yards. 1554 01:27:16,720 --> 01:27:19,519 Speaker 1: There were twenty eight yards, thirty two yards and a touchdown, 1555 01:27:19,920 --> 01:27:24,519 Speaker 1: and that all couples where I'm at. I think he's 1556 01:27:24,600 --> 01:27:30,599 Speaker 1: needed take some easy ones, you know, certainly not for nothing. 1557 01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:32,559 Speaker 1: The easy ones he thought he was gonna take got 1558 01:27:32,600 --> 01:27:35,080 Speaker 1: tipped out of cold Beasley's arms turned into an interception. 1559 01:27:35,120 --> 01:27:36,840 Speaker 1: So if you're gonna if that's gonna happen, why don't 1560 01:27:36,840 --> 01:27:39,160 Speaker 1: I just throw it deep all the time? Kind of thing? Right? So, 1561 01:27:39,920 --> 01:27:43,240 Speaker 1: but yeah, it takes some easy takes, some easy completions, 1562 01:27:45,600 --> 01:27:50,920 Speaker 1: But I'm not really Yes, those two guys really make 1563 01:27:50,960 --> 01:27:54,080 Speaker 1: it seem like we got some options other than Stefan 1564 01:27:54,200 --> 01:27:57,160 Speaker 1: Diggs and Gabe Davis playing as well as he is 1565 01:27:57,240 --> 01:27:59,920 Speaker 1: is another huge one. So I'm I'm very optimistic about 1566 01:28:00,040 --> 01:28:04,160 Speaker 1: or they're at Offensively, Yeah, Jean says, Kenned Oliver and 1567 01:28:04,240 --> 01:28:07,240 Speaker 1: Greg Russeau be full game disruptors to Burrow. They are 1568 01:28:07,280 --> 01:28:08,960 Speaker 1: the stars on the line, and if they don't get 1569 01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:13,200 Speaker 1: to Burrow, Bengals win this game. We already read the stat. 1570 01:28:14,800 --> 01:28:16,599 Speaker 1: You don't. If you don't get Burrow on the ground, 1571 01:28:16,920 --> 01:28:21,320 Speaker 1: it's hard to beat him. Yeah, I guess I'll give 1572 01:28:21,360 --> 01:28:24,840 Speaker 1: it to you again. The stat says he's twenty two 1573 01:28:24,920 --> 01:28:26,960 Speaker 1: and three over the last two years. He's twenty two 1574 01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:32,000 Speaker 1: and three. When he sacked fewer than four times, he's 1575 01:28:32,120 --> 01:28:35,400 Speaker 1: four and eight more than four times. That's a lot 1576 01:28:35,439 --> 01:28:38,240 Speaker 1: of sacks in a game. He was sacked exactly four 1577 01:28:38,320 --> 01:28:42,799 Speaker 1: times last week. Baltimore is right in it, and Baltimore 1578 01:28:42,800 --> 01:28:45,400 Speaker 1: had a chance to win it. One more sack might 1579 01:28:45,439 --> 01:28:47,240 Speaker 1: have been the difference. I don't know. That's it's an 1580 01:28:47,280 --> 01:28:50,599 Speaker 1: interesting stat. But you know, I wonder what the stat 1581 01:28:50,640 --> 01:28:53,720 Speaker 1: says when he's sacked five or more times, you know, right, 1582 01:28:53,840 --> 01:28:58,400 Speaker 1: I mean we know this. Josh Allen got sacked seven 1583 01:28:58,479 --> 01:29:01,720 Speaker 1: times last week and they won. Yeah. So there are 1584 01:29:01,800 --> 01:29:05,240 Speaker 1: exceptions to ever's exceptions to everything. Let's end on a 1585 01:29:05,320 --> 01:29:08,160 Speaker 1: high note. On the tweet sheet, Paul says Bill's defensive 1586 01:29:08,240 --> 01:29:11,679 Speaker 1: secondary shines bright against Bengals in the Division round. Bill's 1587 01:29:11,680 --> 01:29:19,400 Speaker 1: advanced to the AFC Championship Game. Sign me up. Tough 1588 01:29:19,479 --> 01:29:22,080 Speaker 1: group to shine against. But if they do, if they do, 1589 01:29:22,320 --> 01:29:26,479 Speaker 1: you're right, it's It's hard for the Bengals to win 1590 01:29:26,520 --> 01:29:28,720 Speaker 1: if they're outside guys don't contribute in a big way. 1591 01:29:29,080 --> 01:29:33,000 Speaker 1: ESPN's Adam Schefter saying Ken Dorsey will interview with Carolina 1592 01:29:33,080 --> 01:29:35,680 Speaker 1: this weekend for their head coaching job. We're presuming that 1593 01:29:35,760 --> 01:29:40,599 Speaker 1: will take place via Zoom Big Show tomorrow. Eric Eric 1594 01:29:40,760 --> 01:29:44,920 Speaker 1: Mould's NFL UK Neil Reynolds and Nahiem Hines. We'll see 1595 01:29:44,920 --> 01:29:45,240 Speaker 1: you one
