WEBVTT - Sean McDermott Show, Week 5

0:00:05.640 --> 0:00:08.039
<v Speaker 1>But we're live right now. Hey, we're live. Everybody got

0:00:08.039 --> 0:00:12.520
<v Speaker 1>me not let's go bury. Everybody do their job. One eleven, well,

0:00:12.680 --> 0:00:17.079
<v Speaker 1>Calvern defense, let's go no overthinking, right, go play some ball.

0:00:17.239 --> 0:00:19.759
<v Speaker 1>We'll play some football. It's an exciting time to be

0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:30.720
<v Speaker 1>a Buffalo Bill and a fan of the Buffalo Bills. Hi, everybody,

0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:33.560
<v Speaker 1>welcome to the Sean McDermott Show, presented by ECMC and

0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Collide to Healthy, official healthcare providers of the Buffalo Bills.

0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:40.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm Steve Tasker and once again we're joining coach Sean McDermott. Coach,

0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:42.199
<v Speaker 1>thanks for spending some time with us. Yeah, thanks for

0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:44.800
<v Speaker 1>having me, Steve. Yeah. It's those games that are so close,

0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:48.680
<v Speaker 1>one possession games are particularly frustrating. But you gotta know too,

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:51.440
<v Speaker 1>you're still you got the second best record in the

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:54.920
<v Speaker 1>conference behind two pretty good teams with Super Bowl aspirations.

0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:58.280
<v Speaker 1>You measured up pretty well, but man, bitterly disappointing to

0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:01.360
<v Speaker 1>fall just that short. Well, it is. There's a lot

0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:03.080
<v Speaker 1>of positives we can take out of it. There's no

0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:05.440
<v Speaker 1>moral victories, but that's not how we that's not what

0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:07.720
<v Speaker 1>we believe or how we how we think in this building,

0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:11.399
<v Speaker 1>and that said a lot. We need to get corrected.

0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:14.319
<v Speaker 1>We have pulled out some close games, so I know

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 1>we can execute at a high level. I know we're

0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:19.800
<v Speaker 1>mentally tough, and I know that we can get people

0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>into the fourth quarter and that eventually will prevail it.

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:26.160
<v Speaker 1>We've done it enough, and so we came up short

0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:28.280
<v Speaker 1>this week. We didn't execute at a high enough level

0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:31.440
<v Speaker 1>and our fundamentals didn't carry over from practice to the game.

0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:33.440
<v Speaker 1>So we go back to the back to the practice field.

0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:36.960
<v Speaker 1>I've been in those disappointed locker rooms obviously. What was

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:39.119
<v Speaker 1>your message right having when the heat of the moment

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:42.000
<v Speaker 1>and the guys are particularly frustrated, how did you bring

0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 1>them back together and get them focused on what was ahead?

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:47.960
<v Speaker 1>I think it's big picture perspective, right. I understand that

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:50.040
<v Speaker 1>the game, it was not our season. It's one game.

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:53.880
<v Speaker 1>We need to learn from it and then understand the

0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:56.560
<v Speaker 1>opportunities we did have to win the game, and why

0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:58.919
<v Speaker 1>we have the opportunities first of all, and then second

0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 1>of all, why we didn't capitalize on those opportunities. So

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:04.440
<v Speaker 1>another learning opportunity for our young football team. Well, one

0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 1>of the reasons you had a chance to win that

0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:09.560
<v Speaker 1>game was your defense. Patriots had thirteen possessions, seven of

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:13.959
<v Speaker 1>them were three and ounce. Those guys are really growing

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 1>and putting something together on that side of the thing. Yeah,

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:18.680
<v Speaker 1>it really fun to watch, it really is. We've got

0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 1>we've got obviously more continuity on that side of the ball.

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:24.680
<v Speaker 1>So the offense is a little bit younger in that regard,

0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 1>but the defense, I thought it was a good plan

0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.800
<v Speaker 1>by coach Fraser and the staff well executed. The guys

0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:33.160
<v Speaker 1>played fast, they played physical, They were able to recognize

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:35.600
<v Speaker 1>some things pre snap, which you know how important that is.

0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.080
<v Speaker 1>And then they brought their fundamentals to the game. And

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 1>you got a twenty one year old kid in the

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:43.360
<v Speaker 1>middle of the defense, Tremaine Edmonds. How good could he

0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 1>possibly be? He seems to be making strides. There are

0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:47.040
<v Speaker 1>a couple of plays where he seemed a little bit

0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.280
<v Speaker 1>ahead of the game even he was in their backfield

0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:54.200
<v Speaker 1>stuff and a run play before really developed. Yeah, he's Look,

0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:55.680
<v Speaker 1>we got to take a one game at a time.

0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.000
<v Speaker 1>There's still a young players. It's just in the fourth

0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 1>game now of his second year, and I think again

0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:03.240
<v Speaker 1>the key was he was playing fast. He was able

0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:05.760
<v Speaker 1>to play fast, recognize what was going on, and then

0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:08.800
<v Speaker 1>and then pull the trigger, and you saw him make

0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:10.800
<v Speaker 1>some plays at the line of scrimmager in the backfield.

0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:12.840
<v Speaker 1>And he's able to use his speed. I mean, he's

0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:15.440
<v Speaker 1>extremely fast. So it was a good game overall and

0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:18.360
<v Speaker 1>a good sound defensive effort, you know, even though the

0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:20.960
<v Speaker 1>offense struggled to score points, they seemed to move the

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:24.120
<v Speaker 1>football yet and three hundred plus yards of offense, you

0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:26.959
<v Speaker 1>moved up and down the field. But like always a

0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Patriot defense hard to score points on. Still some positives

0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:32.680
<v Speaker 1>to take out of this game on the offensive side too. Yeah,

0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:34.519
<v Speaker 1>And that's the sound of a good defense. They're a

0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 1>good defense. They had yet to at that point to

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:38.960
<v Speaker 1>give up a touchdown in a game we scored once

0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:42.200
<v Speaker 1>on them in terms of a touchdown, and so good

0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:44.840
<v Speaker 1>defenses gets you know, tighter and stiff as as you

0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 1>crossed the fifty. And that's what they did. And so

0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:49.720
<v Speaker 1>we did move the ball again. I thought, we beat

0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:52.520
<v Speaker 1>ourselves with a lack of fundamentals, a lack of execution,

0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:54.080
<v Speaker 1>and then at the end of the day, we've got

0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:55.640
<v Speaker 1>to take care of the football. And even in this

0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:57.600
<v Speaker 1>loss we've talked about in the first three weeks of

0:03:57.600 --> 0:03:58.960
<v Speaker 1>the season, even though you were three and oh you

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 1>come out after halftime time. Offense was kind of strolling.

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:03.720
<v Speaker 1>You went into a lull almost, and it seemed like

0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:05.080
<v Speaker 1>maybe that was going to cost you a couple of

0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:07.920
<v Speaker 1>the games earlier that you won. Not so against the Patriots.

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:09.560
<v Speaker 1>Came out in the third quarter and put together a long,

0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:13.360
<v Speaker 1>sustained driving really had your most productive quarter yardage wise

0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 1>and really production wise of offense of the entire game.

0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 1>That was maybe what a sign of growth even it was,

0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:22.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we had struggled coming out of the locker

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:23.920
<v Speaker 1>room on offense and the third quarter, and so I

0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:27.560
<v Speaker 1>loved how we adjusted at halftime. Everyone stayed calm, and

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:29.960
<v Speaker 1>as we say, calm breeds calm, and the guys came out.

0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:32.560
<v Speaker 1>We executed, We took with the defense gave us, We

0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:36.080
<v Speaker 1>spread the ball around, run end pass, and we marched

0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.640
<v Speaker 1>into the end zone. So well executed. That's what we

0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:40.599
<v Speaker 1>need to continue to do. Right well, before we go,

0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:43.440
<v Speaker 1>I gotta ask you one last thing. Frankcore fifteen thousand

0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:46.640
<v Speaker 1>career yards. I know he's here because he can play.

0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:49.600
<v Speaker 1>We've seen that seventeen carries for one hundred and nine yards.

0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:51.760
<v Speaker 1>But he's also a kind of guy that man, Oh man,

0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:53.400
<v Speaker 1>would you love to have a bunch of guys who

0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:57.080
<v Speaker 1>do it like he did? That's right, I think every

0:04:57.080 --> 0:05:00.000
<v Speaker 1>coach would. And you know it was natives a great environment. Right,

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:02.760
<v Speaker 1>We've got we had our legends in town. Coach Levy

0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:04.960
<v Speaker 1>was in town amongst amongst all the players that have

0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:08.560
<v Speaker 1>played and worn the red, white and blue of the

0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:12.039
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo Bills. And so to have Frank accomplished what he

0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:15.520
<v Speaker 1>accomplished this past weekend, what an honor, What an honor

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:17.120
<v Speaker 1>just for me as a coach, one an honor just

0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:20.880
<v Speaker 1>to watch it, and so really cool moment for our fans. Sean,

0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:22.320
<v Speaker 1>thanks for spending a minute or two with us. We're

0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:24.840
<v Speaker 1>going to continue our conversation later in this show, so

0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:26.800
<v Speaker 1>for us of you join us. We'll be right back

0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:32.240
<v Speaker 1>on the Sean McDermott Show. Shopping Wood is presented by

0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:37.680
<v Speaker 1>Saint Bonaventure University, the official education provider of the Buffalo Bills.

0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:41.520
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back to the Sean McDermott Show, and this week

0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:43.440
<v Speaker 1>on the tail of tape, where please be joined once

0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.000
<v Speaker 1>again by Eric Wood. Eric, we're gonna chop some wood again. Today.

0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:48.039
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna talk about the Patriots Bills game. Give me

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:51.039
<v Speaker 1>your thoughts on a disappointing loss for the Bills, but

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 1>also pretty close loss in a great football game. I

0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:57.080
<v Speaker 1>gotta say it, Yeah, it was a great football game.

0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:00.400
<v Speaker 1>And you have two top teams in the NFL likely

0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:02.880
<v Speaker 1>going toe to toe and they played bad enough on

0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:05.880
<v Speaker 1>offense to not win the game, but to go toe

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:08.360
<v Speaker 1>to toe with the defending Super Bowl champions on a

0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:10.719
<v Speaker 1>day where you don't really have it offensively is a

0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.040
<v Speaker 1>great sign. Yeah. And let's let's start with Tom Brady.

0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:16.919
<v Speaker 1>Held him to under fifty percent completion routes, no touchdown passes,

0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 1>had a pick, and let's talk about that. You know,

0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.520
<v Speaker 1>the secondary did a phenomenal job against the Patriots. They

0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.160
<v Speaker 1>did do a phenomenal job that they mixed up coverages,

0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:28.159
<v Speaker 1>they made plays down the field, and a number of

0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:31.360
<v Speaker 1>times they got around Tom Brady enough to get him

0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 1>off his spot. And the key that going against Tom

0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Brady is make him uncomfortable. And here you see he

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.640
<v Speaker 1>tries to take a shot down to the bottom of

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:42.039
<v Speaker 1>the field at James White, a running back. It's off

0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:44.880
<v Speaker 1>coverage here, it's the zone looked by the Buffalo Bills,

0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:48.400
<v Speaker 1>And I assumed he would attack with Edelman and Edmunds

0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:50.640
<v Speaker 1>towards the top of the screen, where he went a

0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:52.800
<v Speaker 1>number of times start out the game. Here he takes

0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:55.200
<v Speaker 1>a shot that James white le By Wallace comes and

0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:58.839
<v Speaker 1>makes a great pass break up here and the Bills

0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.880
<v Speaker 1>secondaries just Apps, who was playing phenomenal right now. Later

0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:04.200
<v Speaker 1>on in the game, the Bills surrendered their only defensive

0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:06.480
<v Speaker 1>touchdown of the day and there's still seven minutes left

0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:08.200
<v Speaker 1>in the first quarter. But the rest of the game,

0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:10.960
<v Speaker 1>the defense really kept it to a one score game,

0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:13.760
<v Speaker 1>and they were really the difference and given the offense

0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:15.840
<v Speaker 1>a chance to do something, they did, and they were

0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:18.680
<v Speaker 1>so good in the red zone and keeping the Patriots

0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:21.320
<v Speaker 1>out of the end zone. And here they throw a

0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:23.360
<v Speaker 1>shot past the Philip door Set, and this is a

0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:26.280
<v Speaker 1>small play in the game, but a huge play. Philip

0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:29.840
<v Speaker 1>door Set is not able to get any yards after

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:32.280
<v Speaker 1>catch stops him at the three yard line. And again

0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 1>this is another time that the Bills were able to

0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.320
<v Speaker 1>keep the Patriots out of the end zone in small

0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.880
<v Speaker 1>plays like this that add up to just a phenomenal

0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:43.400
<v Speaker 1>defensive performance. And finally, the Past go ninety three yards

0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:45.320
<v Speaker 1>down the field for a drive that looked like a

0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:47.880
<v Speaker 1>momentum change for New England. But Micah Hyde comes through

0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:50.840
<v Speaker 1>with an enormous interception. He does, and you do not

0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.800
<v Speaker 1>see Tom Brady throw many interceptions. He had zero coming

0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.600
<v Speaker 1>into the game, and here the Bills are able to

0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:59.040
<v Speaker 1>force him to roll to his right. Jerry Hughes is

0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:04.560
<v Speaker 1>coming around the left, tackle beets Marshall Newhouse around the edge,

0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:07.120
<v Speaker 1>forces Tom Brady out to the right and on the move,

0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Tom Brady makes a critical air he tries to force

0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:13.240
<v Speaker 1>a ball in there to Edelman. Micah Hide, with just

0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:16.600
<v Speaker 1>a phenomenal play, breaks off of his coverage to come

0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:19.640
<v Speaker 1>back and make this interception. All right, let's transition into

0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo's Week five opponents, and Buffalo should feel very confident

0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:25.360
<v Speaker 1>in there in their secondary moving for But last week

0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:27.880
<v Speaker 1>we saw a breakout performance from a guy from Tennessee,

0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:30.680
<v Speaker 1>AJ Brown, an Old Miss product. Yeah, he was a

0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:33.280
<v Speaker 1>second round draft pick this year. He's drafted fifty first

0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:36.439
<v Speaker 1>overall out of All Miss. He's six one two twenty

0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.320
<v Speaker 1>six and the crazy thing about him is he's almost

0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:40.880
<v Speaker 1>like a running back. When he gets the ball in

0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:43.440
<v Speaker 1>his hand, you have got to show up to tackle him,

0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:45.679
<v Speaker 1>and oftentimes one guy is not going to bring him down.

0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:49.160
<v Speaker 1>He is great run after catchability. He did slide in

0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:51.240
<v Speaker 1>the draft a little bit more than some predicted, but

0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:53.719
<v Speaker 1>early the part of the season he started to get

0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:56.560
<v Speaker 1>some chunk plays. He's up even as a rookie, he is.

0:08:56.600 --> 0:09:00.280
<v Speaker 1>He's averaging twenty three yards per reception. A couple of

0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:02.800
<v Speaker 1>weeks ago, the Bills faced the Bengals and John Ross

0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.120
<v Speaker 1>was having an incredible year. The Bills held him to

0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:08.280
<v Speaker 1>two catches for twenty two yards. They're gonna try and do,

0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:10.760
<v Speaker 1>obviously the same to A J. Brown, who's off to

0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:13.160
<v Speaker 1>an absolutely hot start this year. Yeah, he had a

0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.520
<v Speaker 1>breakout performance against at Land in Week two. He had

0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:18.320
<v Speaker 1>two touchdowns and he shows off the concentration in great

0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:21.320
<v Speaker 1>hands he does. And again we see him get the

0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.640
<v Speaker 1>ball in his hands here and almost like a running

0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:27.160
<v Speaker 1>back bus out of a play where you think the

0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:29.560
<v Speaker 1>Falcons haven't completed bad but if he brings the tackle

0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:31.280
<v Speaker 1>and gets all the way down to the end zone.

0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:34.880
<v Speaker 1>On our final play, you see Mariota just recognize one

0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:37.240
<v Speaker 1>on one coverage and the rookie A J. Brown is

0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:39.560
<v Speaker 1>who he's trying to go to. And here you see

0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:43.760
<v Speaker 1>a great throw but a great concentration by the receiver

0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:47.560
<v Speaker 1>over the shoulder catch throws where only AJ Brown can

0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:50.000
<v Speaker 1>get it. And it's plays like this that the Bills

0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.480
<v Speaker 1>are going to have to prevent. The Bills have done

0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:55.880
<v Speaker 1>an excellent job of preventing red zone touchdowns and making

0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:57.679
<v Speaker 1>sure a J. Brown is covered in the red zone

0:09:57.800 --> 0:09:59.840
<v Speaker 1>is gonna be a big key keeping the Titans out

0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:02.360
<v Speaker 1>of the eric. Thanks for your insights. So we're gonna

0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:04.760
<v Speaker 1>be looking forward to your radio called down in Nashville. Yeah,

0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:07.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking forward to it as well. Game preview is

0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:12.120
<v Speaker 1>presented by Independent Health from your every day to your unexpected.

0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:17.439
<v Speaker 1>That's the Red Share Treatment. I'm Mattie Glab here with

0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.640
<v Speaker 1>this week's game preview. With a quarter of the season over,

0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:23.000
<v Speaker 1>in Week five, the three and one Bills will head

0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:25.400
<v Speaker 1>to Nashville to take on the two and two Titans.

0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:28.959
<v Speaker 1>The AFC South Bow ranks twenty fourth in total offense,

0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:32.440
<v Speaker 1>but quarterback Marcus Mariota has yet to throw an interception.

0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.120
<v Speaker 1>He has seven touchdowns and a one oh six point

0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:38.600
<v Speaker 1>two rating through four weeks. The Titans offense features a

0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:41.680
<v Speaker 1>few weapons, one of those being running back Derrick Henry,

0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:45.079
<v Speaker 1>who is the league's eighth best rusher, averaging seventy seven

0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:48.840
<v Speaker 1>and a half yards per game. Tennessee's defense is allowing

0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:51.120
<v Speaker 1>an average of fifteen and a half points per game,

0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:54.920
<v Speaker 1>which ranks for fourth lowest in the NFL. Corner Logan

0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Ryan has two interceptions and six passes defended, which ties

0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:03.400
<v Speaker 1>for the best amongst all NFL players. Draw pressured rolls,

0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:07.079
<v Speaker 1>right looks, right fires into the endot intercepted, intercepted of

0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:10.680
<v Speaker 1>the dome like a high ensit. The Bill's defensive unit

0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:14.160
<v Speaker 1>continues to show their strength, ranked thirty in the NFL

0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.880
<v Speaker 1>with the yards allowed. The group averages about two hundred

0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:20.400
<v Speaker 1>and eighty yards given up a game and ranked second

0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:23.160
<v Speaker 1>in opposing passer rating with seventy eight and a half.

0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo's defense lead the league in three and outs, forcing

0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:30.240
<v Speaker 1>offenses off the field thirty two point seven percent of

0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:34.280
<v Speaker 1>the time. The Bills ranked eighth in total offense. All

0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:37.480
<v Speaker 1>nine of Buffalo's touchdown drives so far the season have

0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:40.880
<v Speaker 1>been seventy yards or more, with ties for fourth in

0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:44.120
<v Speaker 1>the NFL, and the last three matchups between the Bills

0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.360
<v Speaker 1>and the Titans, the game has been decided by a

0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:50.319
<v Speaker 1>single point, with Buffalo going two and one in those matchups.

0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Steve back to you. Thanks Mattie. Now we're back here

0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:58.840
<v Speaker 1>with coach Sean McDermot coach coming into this game against

0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:01.679
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee from a distance, give the fans that I've got

0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:03.920
<v Speaker 1>a taste of what the Tennessee Titans are all about. Yeah,

0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:07.559
<v Speaker 1>I mean you look at their running game, really good backfield,

0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:11.319
<v Speaker 1>including Marcus Mariota, one of the best quarterbacks around, very

0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:15.199
<v Speaker 1>mobile quarterback, extends plays. They have the RPOs, the run

0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:17.199
<v Speaker 1>pass options that are tough to defend in a good

0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:21.000
<v Speaker 1>receiving cord with a couple of big guys outside that

0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:23.840
<v Speaker 1>make it very tough, and they catch contested balls. So

0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 1>it'll be a big challenge for us. And then on

0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:26.880
<v Speaker 1>the other side of the ball, they've got a very

0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:30.560
<v Speaker 1>active and physical defense with guys in the cover areas

0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:32.160
<v Speaker 1>that can cover and match up man and man and

0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:35.040
<v Speaker 1>they're led by their front their front seven. So it'll

0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:36.559
<v Speaker 1>be a big week for us. As you said, you're

0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:38.760
<v Speaker 1>just starting the second quarter of the season, the second

0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:41.880
<v Speaker 1>four games of the first half of the season. But

0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:45.400
<v Speaker 1>you've also a lot of positives to go forward with.

0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:47.960
<v Speaker 1>What's the next thing you have you been working on

0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.400
<v Speaker 1>or messaging to your team about all right, this is

0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:52.160
<v Speaker 1>the next step we've got to take. Is it more

0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:54.280
<v Speaker 1>consistent than that or is there one specific Well, I

0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:56.440
<v Speaker 1>like how fast we're playing. I mean just in terms

0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:59.280
<v Speaker 1>of the way we cover. We're covering kicks, we're playing fast.

0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:02.120
<v Speaker 1>We're in the return game. We got the return game

0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:04.120
<v Speaker 1>going now with Andrea in a second week back, so

0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:05.959
<v Speaker 1>we got that going a little bit out. We had

0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:07.760
<v Speaker 1>the big play we gave up with the block punt,

0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:10.240
<v Speaker 1>So we've got to make sure we fundamentally get that

0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:14.040
<v Speaker 1>corrected and continue to grow on our special teams units

0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:16.080
<v Speaker 1>because that's a big part of the game, the kicking game.

0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:19.199
<v Speaker 1>And then offensively, we did move the ball and now

0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:21.560
<v Speaker 1>we have to continue to grow in that area as

0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:24.120
<v Speaker 1>well with the continuity and the messaging and the communication.

0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:26.679
<v Speaker 1>We didn't know we weren't always on the same page.

0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:28.920
<v Speaker 1>And then defensively, how do we take another step where

0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.480
<v Speaker 1>we stay humble, we stay hungry, we continue to put

0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:34.920
<v Speaker 1>players in position to be to be successful. Sean, thanks

0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:36.680
<v Speaker 1>for spending some time with us, and for you at home,

0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:38.920
<v Speaker 1>don't look for us next week. It's the bye week

0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:41.000
<v Speaker 1>after this week. In Tennessee, We'll see you in two

0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.400
<v Speaker 1>weeks where we preview the next Bill's game. Until then,

0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:45.600
<v Speaker 1>have a great weekend this week and coach good luck

0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:50.679
