Speaker 1: They can, grass man, it's a great win right there,
Speaker 1: right at home, defending your turf right here, right win.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what this win started though, last Monday.
Speaker 1: That's where starter, man, where you guys hung together, You
Speaker 1: talpped it out. You practice like a team that knows
Speaker 1: what they're going where they're going right. Extremely proud of you, guys, man,
Speaker 1: Extremely proud of you's going now, humbling and huggy. That's
Speaker 1: where we're at. We're live right now. Hey, we're live.
Speaker 1: Everybody got me not. Let's go, baby, every man do
Speaker 1: their job. One eleven well caliber defense. Let's go, no overthinking, right,
Speaker 1: go play some ball. We'll play some football. It's an
Speaker 1: exciting time to be a Buffalo Bill and a fan
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. Everybody, and welcome to the Sean
Speaker 1: McDermott Show, presented by ECMC and Kalidah Health. The official
Speaker 1: healthcare providers are the Buffalo Bills John Murphy, joined by
Speaker 1: Bill's head coach Sean McDermott and Sean good to see you.
Speaker 1: Congratulations on the winning home against Washington. That was great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thanks Murph, I appreciate it. Good to see you as well.
Speaker 1: It's interesting, you know, we heard you in the locker
Speaker 1: room talk about how you want to your team to
Speaker 1: stay humble and hungry. What do you have in mind there?
Speaker 1: What are you thinking there? It's just you know, it's
Speaker 1: an approach. It's a week to week league. It's a
Speaker 1: day to day approach for us trying to continue to improve.
Speaker 1: It's a growth mindset, and this league, if you relax,
Speaker 1: it'll come and bite you in the butt. That's not
Speaker 1: the right mindset. We've got to stay, stay humble, and
Speaker 1: stay hungry. Your team obviously not flawless. No team really
Speaker 1: is flawless, but do have things to work on, areas
Speaker 1: of improvement pending. And yet you're six and two. That's
Speaker 1: got to feel pretty good. You must be gratified about that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm grateful to be a part of it. I really am.
Speaker 1: There's good people in this building and this organization and
Speaker 1: players as well, and we've got a good locker room,
Speaker 1: good veteran leadership, and you know, we've been fortunate to
Speaker 1: have the success we've had, and we understand that, and
Speaker 1: yet we're realistic about where we are and what we
Speaker 1: have to improve on moving forward. Looking back to last
Speaker 1: week's win over Washington, it's pretty clear that Adrian Peterson
Speaker 1: has a lot of tread left on his tires, and
Speaker 1: yet he had the big first half and you managed
Speaker 1: to shut him and really Washington's offense down for the
Speaker 1: most part in the second half. What changed? What did
Speaker 1: you do differently in the second Well, adjustments at halftime.
Speaker 1: To your point, he did have a big first half.
Speaker 1: We weren't in our gap and playing with gap integrity
Speaker 1: as we define it, and so we made some adjustments.
Speaker 1: Coach Frasier and the staff and the players on defense
Speaker 1: made the appropriate adjustments at halftime and got it corrected.
Speaker 1: Got another big game out of Tredevious White, who was
Speaker 1: sort of in a different role. He was following receivers
Speaker 1: a couple of times. You blitzed him at least on
Speaker 1: one occasion. What does that say about what you might
Speaker 1: be able to do with Tradevious, you know, in the
Speaker 1: final second half of the season here, Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: we may look at him to rush the pastor a
Speaker 1: little bit, you know, not alight him up, see if
Speaker 1: we can cover, maybe drop somebody off into coverage. No,
Speaker 1: I mean, he's just Tredavis is really developing into the
Speaker 1: all around corner, both in the run end pass game,
Speaker 1: and so that's good to see. And he works extremely
Speaker 1: hard during the week and it gets the results on
Speaker 1: the weekend because of his hard work during the week.
Speaker 1: You have Jordan Phillips, who now leads the league with
Speaker 1: six sacks. No defensive tackle in the league has more.
Speaker 1: I'm wondering when you look at him, what did he
Speaker 1: show you on film in thee on the practice field
Speaker 1: that let you think that you could go with him
Speaker 1: and start him in this game this pass Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: been an ongoing deal. We chet, we chart production, and
Speaker 1: he's been productive for us, and so we talk about
Speaker 1: earning things in our building and he had earned the
Speaker 1: right to start or we expect for him to continue
Speaker 1: to develop. And there's certainly areas he's had success and
Speaker 1: there's also areas he needs to improve. And just like
Speaker 1: our football team, your team, your defense now for twelve
Speaker 1: straight games, has allowed no more than one touchdown passing
Speaker 1: in each of these games. You're midway through the season,
Speaker 1: you're the third ranked past defense in the league. What
Speaker 1: do you want quarterbacks and offensive coordinators, your opponents to
Speaker 1: see when they look at your past defense? What do
Speaker 1: you think they would think of your guys? Well, hopefully
Speaker 1: we're coordinated. I mean, that's really what you want to
Speaker 1: look at and develop as a past defense is coordination
Speaker 1: within our linebackers secondary that they work together. You know,
Speaker 1: there's certainly things we can do better. I like where
Speaker 1: we are, but with room to grow as well. Devin
Speaker 1: Singletary has provided an offensive spark in a few games
Speaker 1: so far this season, but he really was almost a
Speaker 1: focal point of your offense this past Sunday. I'm wondering
Speaker 1: what you see what encouraged you from what you've seen
Speaker 1: from Devin Singletary. Yeah, another young player, Murph really that's
Speaker 1: gotten a lot of playing time and he's done some
Speaker 1: good things with the opportunities that he's earned. And so
Speaker 1: whether it's Frank or Devin, we're going to continue to
Speaker 1: grow and evolve as an offense. That's really the direction
Speaker 1: we're trying to go in terms of hey, week to week,
Speaker 1: game planning week to week. This guy may be hot,
Speaker 1: that guy may be hot, and whether it's in the
Speaker 1: run game the past game, it all starts up front,
Speaker 1: you know, it all starts with the offensive line. At quarterback.
Speaker 1: Josh Allen played another game without turning it over. He
Speaker 1: has kind of curbed that tendency. He may have had
Speaker 1: it earlier this year. It seems like that was a
Speaker 1: step forward him his performance against Washington this pay it was, Yeah,
Speaker 1: another step forward for Josh with respect to his approach
Speaker 1: to the game, his approach to the running game, the
Speaker 1: passing game, situational football, finding open receivers on the move
Speaker 1: a little bit of time so and then then working
Speaker 1: with him when he's on the move. Good part of
Speaker 1: our offense, and we have to continue to grow that offense.
Speaker 1: We heard Micah hydsay in the locker room after the
Speaker 1: game last Sunday that I'm not going to apologize anymore
Speaker 1: for ugly wins. What's your take on that? And you
Speaker 1: know the old Parcels statement, you are what your record
Speaker 1: says you are. I believe that, don't you. Well, it's
Speaker 1: hard to win in this league. Yeah, it's truly a
Speaker 1: week to week league. As you and I were talking
Speaker 1: earlier here, it's you never want to relax because it's legal,
Speaker 1: come up and bite you. So we respect the league,
Speaker 1: we respect every opponent, and we take again that a
Speaker 1: humble and hungry approach. Okay, Sean, thanks very much, thanks
Speaker 1: for your thoughts on the Watchington game. We will pick
Speaker 1: this conversation up a little bit later on in the show.
Speaker 1: Game preview is presented by Independent Health from your Every Date,
Speaker 1: You're unexpected. That's the Red Share treatment. I'm Mattie Glad
Speaker 1: I'm here at this week's game preview. After three straight
Speaker 1: weeks at home, the Bills are on the road for
Speaker 1: the next weeks. In week ten, they will face the
Speaker 1: third ranked team in the AFC North, better known as
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns. Bills now six and two, and next
Speaker 1: week the Bills are at the Cleveland Browns at one o'clock.
Speaker 1: Running Back Nick Chubb, who is second in the NFL
Speaker 1: averaging one hundred point four rushing yards per game, will
Speaker 1: try to help out quarterback Baker Mayfield, who is the
Speaker 1: lowest completion percentage in the league out of quarterbacks with
Speaker 1: at least fourteen attempts per game. Chubb also ranks fourth
Speaker 1: in total rushing yards with eight hundred and three. Receiver
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry leads the team averaging fifteen point four yards
Speaker 1: per catch. Cleveland's run defense has struggled so far this year,
Speaker 1: allowing the third most rushing yards a game at an
Speaker 1: average of one forty one point three yards per game.
Speaker 1: Linebacker Joe Schobern gets after opposing offenses as he is
Speaker 1: second in the league with fifty five solo tackles. Miles
Speaker 1: Garrett has been a solid force on defense as well,
Speaker 1: as he is second in the league with ten sacks
Speaker 1: and second in TFLs with thirteen. Bill's quarterback Josh Allen
Speaker 1: will look to beat Myles Garret in the air or
Speaker 1: on the ground, as he is one of four qbs
Speaker 1: to have at least twenty passing touchdowns and twelve rushing
Speaker 1: touchdowns over their first two seasons. Alan has definitely progressed
Speaker 1: over the last four games two as he has thrown
Speaker 1: just one interception and lost one fumble. Here comes pressure,
Speaker 1: He's in trouble. He is dropped. He is set. Tradeaby
Speaker 1: is white. Trade a dropped him at the four yard line.
Speaker 1: The third ranked Buffalo defense that allows an average of
Speaker 1: two hundred and ninety six point two yards per game,
Speaker 1: wants to stay strong and limit the Browns's big names
Speaker 1: on offense. The Bill's defense allowed just nine points to
Speaker 1: the Redskins and is ranked third in allowing an average
Speaker 1: of sixteen point four points per game. In the last
Speaker 1: eight times the Browns and Bills have met dating back
Speaker 1: to two thousand and seven. The teams are tied at
Speaker 1: four and four. Murph, back to you, all right, thanks Mattie.
Speaker 1: Now time for some final thoughts with Bill. Said coach
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott. Coach, you're getting ready for this weekend. Your
Speaker 1: team is three and oh on the road this year,
Speaker 1: the Browns are in three at home. It's an interesting
Speaker 1: thing and there's been a lot of that going on
Speaker 1: in the NFL this year, but certainly it's a different
Speaker 1: approach for your team, especially after three straight home games. Uh,
Speaker 1: it is. We've got to be going the road and
Speaker 1: be road warriors. And they're highly talented football team, a
Speaker 1: team that came into the season with very high expectations,
Speaker 1: and so the most important things we focus on us
Speaker 1: and ourselves and we continue to grow as a football tall.
Speaker 1: Want to ask you about their running back Nick Chubb
Speaker 1: fourth in the league and rushing yardag You've been up
Speaker 1: against some very good running backs. Here comes another one,
Speaker 1: maybe one of the best you'll face all year. Huh yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean the tests they don't get any easier, right, So,
Speaker 1: but we've got to get stronger with the with the
Speaker 1: weeks as they pass by, it's only going to get tougher,
Speaker 1: and we understand that, so we've got to continue to
Speaker 1: develop our defense and our overall football team. Your team
Speaker 1: has played in weather at home the last two weeks,
Speaker 1: and the early forecast saying you may get more weather
Speaker 1: this Sunday. He in Cleveland, right, Talk about that and
Speaker 1: how you get your team ready to face that challenge. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's That's a big part of playing football late in
Speaker 1: the year is the weather. We get weather here in
Speaker 1: Western York, which to me is to our benefit. It's
Speaker 1: an opportunity for us to grow and develop that all
Speaker 1: important mental toughness that we have to have. You saw
Speaker 1: it on display this past week, and then we'll probably
Speaker 1: get some of the similar weather this weekend, and we've
Speaker 1: got to use every opportunity to get ready for the game. Sean,
Speaker 1: thanks for this good luck. Yeah, thanks John. Hey, coach
Speaker 1: char McDermot, We thank you for tuning in at home
Speaker 1: and invite you to join us again next week when
Speaker 1: we recap the game against the Browns and look forward
Speaker 1: to the Bills final matchup this season against the Miami Dolphins.
