<v Speaker 1>Finding the way. Find the way every week. Coolo Buffalo Bill,

0:00:13.560 --> 0:00:16.480
<v Speaker 1>no overthinking. All right, go play football. We'll play some football.

0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:20.920
<v Speaker 1>Exciting time to be a Buffalo build of the fan

0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:28.600
<v Speaker 1>of the Buffalo Bills. Welcome into Week ten of the

0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Sean McDermott Show, presented by Connors and Ferris, your workers

0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:34.760
<v Speaker 1>comp attorneys. I'm Steve Taskin once again. I'm pleased to

0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:36.360
<v Speaker 1>be joined by the head coach of the Buffalo Bill,

0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Sean McDermott. Coach, thanks for joining us. I know you

0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:41.560
<v Speaker 1>suffered a tough loss on the road in Jacksonville, where

0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:43.920
<v Speaker 1>your defense really kept you in it, but your offense

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:46.479
<v Speaker 1>couldn't get it rolling. What is your message to a

0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:50.240
<v Speaker 1>team right now as you move forward into week ten, Well,

0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:52.319
<v Speaker 1>it's it's we got to We've got to adjust. We've

0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:54.320
<v Speaker 1>got to make adjustments that are necessary for us to

0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:56.360
<v Speaker 1>move forward as a football team and improve as a

0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:58.640
<v Speaker 1>football team. And we've got some things that we have

0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:03.200
<v Speaker 1>to do better if we expect to play better. Right

0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:05.720
<v Speaker 1>your defense held the Jacksonville offense just two hundred and

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:09.000
<v Speaker 1>eighteen yards and nine points. You guys had two sacks,

0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:12.000
<v Speaker 1>force to turnover just wasn't enough. That's kind of right

0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:14.040
<v Speaker 1>in line where your defense has been all year. It

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:16.600
<v Speaker 1>still ranks first in the league. How do you take

0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 1>positives out of a tough loss that like that and

0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:21.680
<v Speaker 1>apply it to the whole team, not just one side

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:24.319
<v Speaker 1>of the defense or the offense. Yeah, well, it's important

0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:27.240
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't become this side versus that side. We are

0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:30.200
<v Speaker 1>one team and there were complimentary parts of the game

0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:34.240
<v Speaker 1>that even defensively, we didn't provide enough for our offense.

0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:36.679
<v Speaker 1>And those are things our defense can look at and say, hey,

0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:40.039
<v Speaker 1>we could have done more without pressing going forward, it's

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:43.080
<v Speaker 1>important that they understand that. Right. Josh is having a

0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:45.160
<v Speaker 1>great year so far. Big part of that has been

0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:47.280
<v Speaker 1>the fact that he's been taking care of the football,

0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:49.800
<v Speaker 1>and against the Jacks he turned it over three times,

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 1>he had two picks and a fumble. He was on

0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:54.520
<v Speaker 1>the run a lot, got sacked four times. What lessons

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 1>you think Josh can take from this game personally, Well,

0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I would say number one, try not to do too much,

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:02.280
<v Speaker 1>do your job, do your one to eleventh as we say,

0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 1>and trust the teammates around you that they're they're gonna

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.720
<v Speaker 1>make the plays. And that's probably one. The other thing

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 1>is I think for our overall team as well as

0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Josh's just continuing to understand that the ball is a

0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:18.400
<v Speaker 1>great equalizer, much like fundamentals and technique, and if you

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 1>don't do them and take care of them in this case,

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:23.800
<v Speaker 1>or use them at a high level, it can change

0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 1>games fast. Now it's halfway point of the season. You're

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:29.600
<v Speaker 1>obviously dealing with some injuries. At this point of the year,

0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:33.520
<v Speaker 1>with Spinter Brown missing his second straight game. John Feliciano's

0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:35.880
<v Speaker 1>on injury reserve. You've got Ike butt Ker and Cody

0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Forward starting at your guard spots. Darryl Williams get kicked

0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.920
<v Speaker 1>back out to tackle. What's the key to overcoming all

0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:44.560
<v Speaker 1>these injuries you're dealing with, particularly in one position group,

0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:48.080
<v Speaker 1>the offensive line. Well, I think it's mindset more than anything, Steve.

0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:49.920
<v Speaker 1>It's how bad you want it and what are you

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 1>willing to do to get the results you're looking for.

0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:54.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, no one's gonna come and rescue us or

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:58.120
<v Speaker 1>throw us a life raft in terms of trying to

0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 1>rescue us from this situation. We're going through it. Every

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.200
<v Speaker 1>team goes through it at some point during the season,

0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.840
<v Speaker 1>and this is no different than last year, even though

0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:10.040
<v Speaker 1>last year, looking back seems so clean. There was adversity

0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:12.919
<v Speaker 1>last year like there is this year, and so we've

0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.079
<v Speaker 1>got our leaders got to step up. I've got to

0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 1>step up. And then we've got a former response for

0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:20.760
<v Speaker 1>this week. Well, your offense had a season low of

0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:23.480
<v Speaker 1>seventy two yards on the ground, and once again, Josh

0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:25.679
<v Speaker 1>was your leading rusher with fifty yards, most of which

0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:29.080
<v Speaker 1>came when he scrambled. Devin Singletary only had sixteen rushing

0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:31.160
<v Speaker 1>yards and Moss had six, but he left the game

0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.480
<v Speaker 1>with an injury early. What have you seen from your

0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 1>rushing offense this year? What's your process to start coaching

0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:40.400
<v Speaker 1>and your coaching staff that address some of the issues there. Well,

0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:42.280
<v Speaker 1>number one, we've got to give him a chance playing

0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:43.720
<v Speaker 1>and simple, We've got to we've got to give him

0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:45.760
<v Speaker 1>more opportunities to run the ball. It's not always going

0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.800
<v Speaker 1>to be six yards a carry or ten yards a carry.

0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.280
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes a running game takes a little bit. It takes

0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 1>a little bit to get going. And so just opportunities

0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.280
<v Speaker 1>number one, and then number two is when given the opportunity,

0:03:57.320 --> 0:03:58.880
<v Speaker 1>we got to make it go. And that starts up

0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:01.320
<v Speaker 1>front and then goes into our back killed as well. Well,

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:03.960
<v Speaker 1>you guys, weren't the loan upset on Sunday. In fact,

0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:07.560
<v Speaker 1>three other teams, Denver, Kansas City, and the New York Giants.

0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.040
<v Speaker 1>They each entered Week nine with a sub five hundred

0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:12.240
<v Speaker 1>winning percentage and defeated a team that it began the

0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 1>day in first place in the division. So the first

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.160
<v Speaker 1>time this has happened in ten years. And what does

0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:18.919
<v Speaker 1>this say about how tough it is to win in

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:22.640
<v Speaker 1>the NFL? Yeah, nothing that you and I already don't know.

0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.839
<v Speaker 1>But overall, another reminder just how the league is shaped,

0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.640
<v Speaker 1>how the parody of the league makes it such a

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:33.120
<v Speaker 1>week to week league, and every team has good players. Coaches,

0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.240
<v Speaker 1>what have you? You got to come out to play

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.840
<v Speaker 1>and look to improve every week? Yeah? Thanks, coach. We're

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:39.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna catch up with you later in the show to

0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:41.760
<v Speaker 1>get your final thoughts on your upcoming matchup with the Jets.

0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:47.560
<v Speaker 1>The game plan is presented by Energy Marketing, the official

0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:53.159
<v Speaker 1>energy supplier to the Buffalo Bills. Game tree view is

0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:57.919
<v Speaker 1>presented by Independent Health. You deserve the red shirt treatment,

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.799
<v Speaker 1>Mattie glab here with this week's game preview. The five

0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.240
<v Speaker 1>and three Bills are heading to New Jersey to take

0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:08.000
<v Speaker 1>on the two and six Jets in a Week ten matchup.

0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:11.279
<v Speaker 1>The Jets are averaging eighteen points per game, which ranks

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:14.919
<v Speaker 1>twenty seventh. They have the fourteenth best passing offense and

0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:18.560
<v Speaker 1>the third worst rushing offense. They don't have one player

0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:21.039
<v Speaker 1>known as the guy because they like to spread the ball.

0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:24.080
<v Speaker 1>No running back or wide receiver has more than three

0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:27.440
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifty yards. The Jets have the worst defense

0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:30.159
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL, allowing thirty one point four points per

0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:32.960
<v Speaker 1>game and four hundred and eight point one total yards

0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:36.839
<v Speaker 1>per game. They also only have one interception through eight games,

0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 1>which also ranks at the bottom of the league. After

0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 1>putting up just six points against the Jaguars, Buffalo falls

0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:45.760
<v Speaker 1>to fourth, averaging twenty nine point four points per game.

0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:48.920
<v Speaker 1>They still have the best turnover differential, which sits at

0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:52.560
<v Speaker 1>plus eleven. Their passing offense ranks seventh, and their rushing

0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:56.440
<v Speaker 1>offense is eleventh. Wide receiver Cole Beasley has been clutched

0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.320
<v Speaker 1>for the Bills because of his catch ability. Beasley has

0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 1>caught seventy six point one percent of his passes from

0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Josh Allen, which is fifth best among wide receivers. Another

0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:09.159
<v Speaker 1>player who's been clutch on offense is Josh Allen. He

0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:13.240
<v Speaker 1>leaves the NFL with forty eight total third down conversions.

0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo's defense is the opposite of the Jets because they

0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:19.000
<v Speaker 1>rank at the top of the league, allowing just fourteen

0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.880
<v Speaker 1>point eight points per game and two hundred and sixty

0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:24.760
<v Speaker 1>two point six yards per game, both are the lowest

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:27.440
<v Speaker 1>in the league. The group is also limiting opponents in

0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.400
<v Speaker 1>the red zone by allowing touchdowns only forty point nine

0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:33.080
<v Speaker 1>percent of the time, which is the best in the NFL.

0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:36.520
<v Speaker 1>The Bills lead the series against Jets with sixty five

0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:40.360
<v Speaker 1>wins and fifty six losses. That's this week's game preview,

0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:44.320
<v Speaker 1>Steve back to you. Thanks as always, Maddie. Coach. You're

0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:46.760
<v Speaker 1>facing a first time head coach for the third time

0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.760
<v Speaker 1>this season, and this time it's Robert Salo with the Jets.

0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:51.880
<v Speaker 1>He's beaten a couple of the best teams in the

0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:55.800
<v Speaker 1>AFC in Tennessee Titans in the Cincinnati Bengals. What have

0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:59.479
<v Speaker 1>you seen from this look New York Jets team under

0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Roberts All, Well, they play with great energy and to

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.600
<v Speaker 1>your point, they've knocked off two very good football teams.

0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.040
<v Speaker 1>I think they're trying to build a foundation and we

0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:10.680
<v Speaker 1>expect obviously a tough challenge when we go over there

0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.320
<v Speaker 1>in a divisional game at their place. So we've got

0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:15.840
<v Speaker 1>to continue to improve, plenty of things to work on

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.520
<v Speaker 1>our end and get ourselves right and ready to go. Yeah,

0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:22.360
<v Speaker 1>everybody knows the importance of divisional games here in the NFL,

0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:24.080
<v Speaker 1>but now you're just a half game up on the

0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:26.360
<v Speaker 1>New England Patriots, and while you're not in a must

0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:28.960
<v Speaker 1>win situation yet, this game feels like it has some

0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:31.920
<v Speaker 1>added importance with the Patriots on a three game winning streak.

0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:35.440
<v Speaker 1>How do you communicate the importance of this game and

0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:39.400
<v Speaker 1>this divisional matchup with your team? Well, every game is important,

0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:42.400
<v Speaker 1>as we were just reminded of last week, and so

0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:45.040
<v Speaker 1>as we move forward, it's one week at a time,

0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:47.520
<v Speaker 1>try and go one to know, respect the opponent, get

0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:49.400
<v Speaker 1>ourselves ready to go and play at a high level.

0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:52.120
<v Speaker 1>Thanks coach, good luck on Sunday. We'll be back next

0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:54.760
