Um, 5 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: I mean everybody will individually have the process it like 6 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: we've been doing. But I expected to be an emotional 7 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: scene and in the end we're going there claibus football game. 8 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: So I think everybody understands there's a balance and there's 9 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: multiple things going on here. Can you relate this to 10 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,959 Speaker 1: anything like I know you guys came back after nine 11 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,239 Speaker 1: eleven that different things.

Yeah, I've got quite 14 00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: a few experiences, so but that and everyone's different. Control weak, control, 15 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: a productive have the last two days of practice and 16 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 1: that they felt like good Wednesday, Thursday, like a normal 17 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: m Yeah, every week's its own week, but this week's 18 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: certainly been a little bit different. But everybody's getting ready 19 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: to go what they are we are. So today's Friday. 20 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: Thanks start pulling things together here at LEAs tomorrow and 21 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: be ready to go on Sunday. Do you think builds 22 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 1: some of the good news that's come out about tomorrow 23 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: Hamwood is maybe helping players who are the entire team 24 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: just move forward a little bit. I don't think get 25 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: ready through it for that sure. Sean McDermott just shared 26 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: several positive updates overnight. Dead of Breathing too removed his 27 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: ad you know, updates on mr Considering the emotional impact 28 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: that has, anything you would you share with the team 29 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: or players just to kind of allowed to find out 30 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: where they go. We talked about a little bit this 31 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 1: more has lead been in contact with you Bill about 32 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: any sort of pregame ceremony to honor Damar or potentially 33 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: any of the medical staff up in Buffalo. No, that 34 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: that really probably wouldn't come to me anyway, and not 35 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: until later, doesn't whatever the pregame schedule is it is, 36 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: I'm not sure, and I guess just to follow up, 37 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: but that if there is something like that, as we 38 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: expect there might be, and the fans in Buffalo don't 39 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: need any reason to get excited about this football game 40 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: in general, how might that be for your guys to 41 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: keep their composure and in light of the game. Yeah, 42 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what we're talking about. So, Kenny, 43 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: do you anticipate Jake Bailey hunting from the team this season? No, 44 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: he's an eligible to anticipating might become eligible or it 45 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: was a time period expired. Okay, I didn't know. I 46 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: didn't know exactly. Thank you, Thank you, Bill. You know 47 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: these are game to game, game playing decisions. But I 48 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: believe over the last five weeks you guys have played 49 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: more snaps his own coverage than any team in the league, 50 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: just at least over that period. What have you seen, 51 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: at least from the growth or development in that area 52 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: from your defense? Yeah, I'm not really sure about those numbers. 53 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: That would surprise me some teams you're playing. I don't 54 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: play any man at all, really, so really call the 55 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: match zone zones or man. I mean, honestly, I don't 56 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: know what those stats are. So we'll do what the 57 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: best we can to defend Buffalo, which they're a very 58 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: talented offensive team, great players. Will do the best we 59 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: can to defend them, like we always do. So whatever 60 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: that is almost the defense situationally what it is and 61 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 1: who they have on the field and everything else. I mean, 62 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: the different person to hold groups. So I don't know, 63 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: it's hard to tell you plaged to them if you 64 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 1: said there a lot. How great for you to have 65 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: a player like him even during week like this, and 66 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: how much you just use because you lean on during 67 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 1: tough situations and the older, the past fear together. Um, yeah, 68 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: a lot. I mean, you know, that's a great, great person, Um, 69 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: great player, great teammate. It's that's close to perfect page 70 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 1: you could get. So he's been a great asset to 71 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: me personally, been a great asset to our team organization 72 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: on multiple multiple levels. Um, it's an I said every day. 73 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: So I don't think there's any day that he doesn't motivate, lead, 74 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,679 Speaker 1: provide an example for every one of us players, coaches, 75 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: everybody's around them. Sorry, I mean, yeah, it's been great 76 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: this week, it's great every week. It's great every day. 77 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 1: It's great in the OTA's, it's great in training camp. 78 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: He and Devin have really over the last couple of years, 79 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: really stepped up, even going back to the the twenty 80 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 1: season COVID and all that. I mean, they've been monumental 81 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: in their leadership, teamwork, support, you name it. Very very 82 00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: lucky to have. I've coached those two players. Throw Devon 83 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: in there with Another question was about Slayer. I throw 84 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: Devon in there too. Have you noticed the change just 85 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: in the players yesterday afternoon. I think when guys started 86 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: coming to the good news that came out, it seems 87 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 1: like it helped them refocus on the game that you know, 88 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 1: the marks gonna be okay, that he's okay, that he's 89 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: getting better. Did you notice the change you expect that 90 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: to go out into practice today? The guys a little 91 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: lifted off their shoulder a little bit. Everybody has their 92 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 1: own internal feelings and emotions on this. I can't speak 93 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 1: for each individual player how they feel or anything like that. 94 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: Both days we've had question. My cast earlier is it's 95 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: not normal, but it's the Wednesday and Thursday practice. That's 96 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: what it's been. I would say they're abnormal. I mean, 97 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: they're the circumstances and are abnormal. But I'd say, like 98 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: we should just look out on the field and didn't 99 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: know whether it was January whatever it is, fifth sixth 100 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 1: or October whatever. I don't know that you would see 101 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: a lot of difference on what you would say on 102 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: the field. So I don't know if that answers a 103 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: question or not, but that's would stay two more. This 104 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: hasn't been the easiest season for Jet Kobe from an 105 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: injury perspective, But what can you say about the consistency 106 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: that he's been able to bring this by dealing with 107 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: some bumps and bruises along the way. Yeah, yeah, he's 108 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: He's a tough kid and physically shown a lot of 109 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: leadership and competitiveness like he always does. Um. Yeah, I'm 110 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: glad he's out there. I know he's had to fight 111 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: through some things, so a lot of other guys, but 112 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: he's done a good job. Though, follow up on Matthews later, 113 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: just from a performance standpoint, how high have a level 114 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: is he playing at in your view? I mean good, Yeah, 115 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: tackles again, drawing Holden penalties and is living I don't know, 116 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: it's the same. Well, I mean he gets a double 117 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: team on you know, virtually every coverage play um with 118 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: very few exceptions, and sometimes those are a scheme to 119 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: where we try to put him in a spot where 120 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: he doesn't get a double team. But you know, I 121 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: think every week he's the you know, he's at the 122 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: bullet on his back for for years and years and 123 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: years whether it's as the gunner on the vice or 124 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: double team blocks on kickup coverage. He's he's the guy 125 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: that everybody paid a lot of attention to to the 126 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 1: benefit of other players, they get less attention, But I 127 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: think when you see players at that level different but 128 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: literally he gets it on every play, just like Taylor 129 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 1: got it on every play for the Giants. It's when 130 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: you get that kind of attention and you're still able 131 00:08:54,520 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: to be productives. Think that's puts those players, uh, very 132 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: very elite level. So okay, all right, thank you m HM.
