 So you want to get us started? Absolutely. Good afternoon, Kevin. Your memory of that play last year on the Buffalo side, they claim Josh Allen slipped on that fourth and short from the Tennessee side seems pretty sure that Jeff Big Jeff was in the middle there helping cause him to slip and fall. What was your viewpoint and how big of a moment in that game was obviously it helped turn the game. But how big of a moment was it for this team and in that moment? What do you remember that play? Yeah, I think it was a combination of both. I mean, he did slip a little bit, but Jeff blew the guy up in the backfield and I think he would have made the play regardless if he slipped or not. That was a huge play. That was one of the probably the most memorable moment I've had in Nissan Stadium. You know, just thinking about the atmosphere Monday night against, you know, a hot team Buffalo Bills. It was incredible. So obviously we know we have a tough matchup coming up this weekend. We're not this weekend. We're actually, you know, on Monday, but it's going to be incredible atmosphere is, you know, similar, you know, hopefully we don't have to be in that same situation where we have to make a goal on stop. But I would expect this game to really be highly competitive and you know, emotion is going to be high and it's going to be fun. It's going to be fun. It's one of those games we look forward to playing. John. Hey, Kevin, curious, whether you thought that the defense in second half perhaps took the foot off the gas a little bit against the Giants after being up and kind of along those same lines. Is there a need going in this week to sort of kind of reclaim that pride in the in the run stopping department after after what the Giants did there in the second half. Well, to answer your first question, I don't think we let our foot off the gas at all. I just think that, you know, we just didn't execute our defense as well enough in the second half. We obviously played really well in the first half, made them earn everything and then first two drives of well actually the first play come out at halftime, give a huge run, do plays later they score. And then on the second drive, I think it was two or three plays and then a bombs, you know, bomb over top of our heads and now the game is tied up. So, and then I think after that, you know, the Giants they kept going to the same, you know, they kept pulling two guys and it kind of got us, you know, misaligned and I think all those things is correctable and those things will correct this week. You know, I don't think it was anything like we let our foot off the gas. Obviously, when you're talking about our type of defense and the way we want to play defense week, you know, we have to stop the run. So that's definitely a pride thing that's something that we, you know, something that we really proud ourselves in and we didn't do that well enough so we're not going to be able to be a great defense and we don't start the run. So that's obviously something we have to get back to being dominant in the ring. And KB talked a little bit about the bills, you know, at the start, but just what kind of a challenge with Allen with digs with with some of their offensive weapons are you guys going to see on Monday night? I mean, obviously Josh Allen top quarterback in the league top three top five have you want to put them or it doesn't matter he's definitely up there he's gotten so much better ever since his first year when I remember we played him back in 2018 to where he is now. You know, he's definitely up there, you know, he's probably going to be up there in the MVP races and things like that. So he's a great talent. A guy that's obviously definitely not afraid to, you know, tuck his head down and tuck the ball and take off and try to run somebody over. He's a great passers a great quarterback. As far as their skill guys we obviously know step on digs one of the better receivers in the league. He has great route crafts. He's going to be highly competitive a guy who loves football. You know, Davis, he's going to be stretching the defense over the top. Isaiah McKenzie who actually in previous years was a guy that was kind of just running a bunch of jet motions and jet sleeves just kind of get the ball in his hands but now he's the slot guy with Cole Beasley being gone and James the crowd I played him a few times he's a really good slot receive real savvy that good rock runner but Dawson Knox is a very athletic tight end you know he just got paid. They're going to use him in a lot of different ways. And he's going to try to run away from he has really good speed and so I said hey he has a lot of weapons be able to throw the ball to I feel like every game is probably because I don't feel like they got Dawson Knox super involved last game so I'm pretty sure they're going to have some stuff for him this game. So, like I said he has a lot of guys they can throw the ball to but obviously they're running backs as well. Devin single Terry Moss those guys weren't really hard and obviously the rookie cooks. He fumbled one time I think he ran the ball from but he didn't really put it back in there but I expect him to get some carries as well so it's going to be like a three head of monster they are going to use those guys and run the ball with all three of them. Devin what do you expect the environment to be like in the stadium on Monday night obviously a lot of expectations with the bills and you guys have had their number the last couple of years. How important is it to overcome and hang in and you know whether that first little storm in the ballgame. Well I think it's going to be electric I think it's going to have a college. Like a big time college football game field. And that's kind of like how their town is this college town you know if it isn't the bills or University of Buffalo. You know that you know that's kind of as far as sports teams like that's what they have up there so the whole cities probably be shut down for this game on Monday night is going to be incredible, especially talking about our office going to be really good where they're going to be in operation and making sure that they're not, you know, a bunch of fall stars so they're just going to have to be clean. But I think you know when you're looking at those type of atmospheres the way that you kind of quiet the crowd and it's going to make plays and the same thing for us on defense go out there and get turnovers. Make them earn everything don't give up any big plays over the top, not allowing any big plays in the run game that's how you kind of quiet the crowd down and kind of get everything on a level playing field. Toronto. KB for you like when you're going through preparation how much do things change when you're facing a team with a number one receiver versus a team that has kind of like a committee approach. Yeah, I mean I think that, you know, looking at the Buffalo bills. Going into this Giants game because we're a Brian Deboa was so I'm still going to be obviously a lot of stuff is fresh in my mind but even just watching the Rams game a lot of stuff that we was looking at throughout last week for the bill I mean for the Giants. It showed up on this game as well. And so obviously like you said man knowing a guy like digs we're going to have to make sure we know he is he's and that's one thing that usually they just line them up on that backside and isolate them on different routes. Watching them against the Rams they line them up, you know a lot differently they put them in jet motions and ran them down the field on route so he's a great receiver and obviously he is the number one but at the end of the day we have to know what Davis is doing the other side we had to make sure that he's not taking the top off the defense and obviously like you said Dawson Knox is a really good tight end too so it is a little different as far as when you have a number one receiver but at the same time as a defense I don't think we can necessarily just be chasing. Okay, we have to double team or triple team this guy and because they have so many other weapons out there we can't just leave these other guys one on one I mean, and that's the way the game is when you have that many guys skill players. You guys got to win at one on one matchups and that's really what it's going boy down to Chris Harris. Kevin excuse me Kevin over the last couple of years you guys have had a knack of coming back from a loss and playing really well and especially against teams that you're underdogs against going into what do you think the reason is for that. I think for the most part we're usually always underdogs it's not a lot of not games, especially against you know these type of matches where we're going to be picked to win. So we're usually going to be underdogs in a lot of situations but when you talk about coming off the loss I think that you know we're just critical with ourselves when we lose it's not like, you know, even when we were critical but when we lose we're highly critical for ourselves and we're a type of team like as I said we have. We have a guys we have in our locker room. Guys want to get stuff corrected we're going to fix things that are correctable. And one thing about it is like the effort and the finish and all the stuff that very preaches. That's never going to change so the effort is always going to be there but the little small stuff the X and those things we correct those things and we go back we go back out there and line up and we're always going to go out there with confidence we're not going to feel like we lost one game, you know it's the end of the world or we can't beat these other teams like that is always going to be our mentality. Jim. And KB I guess on your offensive side of the ball you're not surprised it's some of the success Kyle Phillips had right out of the gate and did you see him after the game it seemed like he was pretty hard on himself for the muffin the punt and felt like he could have done better I'm sure every rookie you know adjust to a new new world in NFL but did you get a chance to talk to him. Yeah I did. Kyle he's a competitor I spoke spoke about him during training camp, really good route runner he showed that you know during the game and obviously he showed a little flash a little bit in preseason this pump return ability, and he showed in the game so it's good to see that in the preseason to the regular season but you know when you're a rookie your first player when you know you mess up you muff a pun or you might screw up around or drop pass or something like that you kind of feel like it's just the end of the world and just me talking to him letting him know like hey you did some really great things during the game and you just got to continue to build on those things but obviously you know the muck punch and those things you try to eliminate you know but at the end of the game you don't want to look at it like the glasses have empty the glasses definitely have full for Kyle Phillips. Teresa. Kevin this is going to be the fifth straight year that Titans in the bills have played and third straight in prime time. What is the rivalry like the familiarity. Do you do you do you like the bills is there hate between these teams is or is it just as you mentioned, you expect what's going to be a high quality game on when these teams meet. I think it's a respect thing. The way both teams us in the bills the way we play, especially on defense and offense guys play hard, you know, Josh Island he plays hard their running backs run hard digs plays hard like I think that's this entire team and I think that's what makes the matchups exciting because you know this isn't like to divas going against you know I'm saying like these are to blue collar cities to blue collar teams and I think we represent that on the football field so that's why you don't see too many blowouts when we play each other I mean obviously I know the 2020 year we beat them but at the end of the day. Usually these games are close and because like I said at the end they need a team is going to quit regardless of the scores. Sam. Kevin that underdog mentality constantly being viewed an underdog and some of these bigger games is that something that you guys really like to relish an opportunity here to maybe prove some people wrong and embrace that underdog mindset going into these big games. I guess it's just something that we're just used to, you know, I always feel like, because like I said, since I've been here we've always been the underdog and I would rather. I don't know I guess in whatever scenario I like to look at it but I'd rather be the one chasing the one is being chased you know I'm saying so that's usually how it goes and I think that guys understand it and you know I feel like you just kind of go into games with a different mentality when you know that you're not really picked to win. It's like not necessarily David and Goliath but you know I'm saying the little man versus the big guy you know I'm saying so we I think just as a team we just understand that role and you know we just try to you know play the best we can. Two more will let you go Jim. Hey KB you talked about some of those past matchups you know after what happened the last couple of years in Nashville you feel like those guys in that locker room probably looking for some payback. Say it again, repeat the question my bad. I said you talked about some of these past matchups with the bills I guess if you're in that locker room you think some of those guys are looking for some payback over what happened in Nashville the past couple of years. Yeah I mean like so I feel like you know the matchup is kind of went back and forth a little bit. I'm sure that they obviously want to get payback for sure I mean they just started off the season hot beat the Rams pretty bad and they've already probably been watching them play Thursday night so they already been breaking down the film and kind of got their game plans together but I guarantee you that's the message in their build right there they're probably playing that play. When Jeff made the goal on stop I think that you know with those with that type of team and I know the mentality and they're not just leaning on that win against the Rams they're going to come out here. And especially Monday night in front of that home crowd they're going to be super amped up and excited to play us so we have to bring that same type of energy. Chris Harris. Hey KB you touched on Josh Allen just briefly instead he's probably you know going to be in the race for the MVP and your opinion what makes him so good what does he do so well. Yeah I mean he started with his arm and he has a he has a rocket he has a cannon he can make every and any throw on the field. I think he has extreme confidence in his arm. And obviously is running the building. He's not a guy that's going to slide a lot he's going to try to put his head down and run you over. And he just has that you know feel like he just has that little personality that slags only he's out there like he feels like he's the best player on the field so like I said it's going to be a great challenge for us and I love playing against Josh Allen I think like say he's a great competitor and you always want to go against the best in league so but like I said I think he's one of the better players in the league. Jim can squeeze one last one in here. I'm squeezing one more you talk about college atmosphere you play in some raucous stadiums Kevin what's the worst thing usually here when opposing teams are giving it giving you guys the business coming in or out or when you're on the sideline. I don't know man I feel like. I remember when we played in Buffalo 2018 is my only time playing in Buffalo and that crowd was obviously it was intense I mean because I think they shot every time they have a home game regardless but. I remember just driving in you know you ride on the bus and has a shooting you to bird and all that good stuff and you know then after the game after we end up losing which was a close game. It was kind of like the same thing and then you see like all the broken tables and stuff like that I mean trash everywhere in the parking lots or whatever so. But usually you hear a lot of stuff sometimes as a player especially before a game or you try to drown all that stuff out but like I said I definitely think Buffalo fans are going to be super intense and yeah they're going to let us here for sure. Teresa you want to get started. Absolutely good afternoon man. But for teams that aren't in the same division. This is the fifth straight year you all played the bills does it almost feel like there is a I mean what's the rivalry like is it like your division rivals do you know each other so well, or is it just you see each other so much. What's the level of hate between these teams. They're good teams and you know we've had some close games with them over the past four or five years and it's come down to the wire and all those games so we know we have coming up they're a good team and you have to go play in that environment so we know we got to be ready and we got to we got to bring it. Jim. Then I guess what's it been like I guess getting over Sunday and then turning the focus to Buffalo was after the result maybe not being what you wanted in week one. Yeah, I'm never want to start season off like that I'm so close and just didn't come out how we wanted to at the end it takes a Sunday and Monday to kind of put that to bed watching the tape and get all that done. Now we're moving on the Buffalo and know we got a big challenge this week going on the road there on the Monday night. So all our focus is there you got to put that one to bed so it don't linger and don't mess up this week's preparation. John. Yeah. Long time. Sorry about that. Hey Ben, I wanted to ask you about the what you thought of the run game blocking Sunday and also along those lines how important will it to be to kind of be able to maintain possession against the bills with the with the run game. Yeah, we got to be better than run game we got to have some clean looks and one person there one person there we got to be 11 guys it takes all 11 guys to run the ball in this league. If one guy's not doing his job right on that play the place usually dead. So we got to be together as a unit as a whole offense to everybody's tied together and definitely bills have explosive offense good on defense. They've been together for a while. So you know what we have on defense there. They're solid as they come and we know the more we can control the clock and do all that it's better for us. Terry. Ben seemed like the past protection was pretty solid on Sunday, keeping Ryan upright. How did Nick and Aaron do especially, you know, their first real assignments in there as starters. Yeah, that was definitely a positive coming out of game. But you can get humble really quick in this league so you got to put that to bed and come out we know we got a challenge this week they got a really good front in the bill so you can't be praised on that and this week come out there and not bring your a game so we know our task is we know their front is one of the best in the league so we know our tasks this week and this week would definitely be a box we don't have to come out and bring it every every day and get ready for this game. Yeah, Ben with with coach rabble, you know, being a defensive minded head coach, how much of that do you think carries over to the offense and just the physical tone that you guys want to set in games against these teams. Yeah, Robert does a great job of being on both sides of he's always in our meetings also, but just the program we run the mentality we have here, we want to be physical we want to effort and finishes our staple here we want to be a get a team that can finish and win in the fourth quarter. So he definitely has that as a as a team. How he's built it here. So you can definitely see his mentality is definitely he wants to be a physical team he wants to dominate the line of scrimmage and that's what we try to do here. Chris Harris. And then my question was about their defensive front what do you see out of those personnel. Yeah, they're very talented there inside and out, no matter it's not that they don't have a weakness there on their big their athletic. They play hard. And that's the teams that play out you see them on the playoffs every year like that, because they they're fundamentally sound, they do the right job, and they're flying around everywhere. So that was the teams you see later on the playoffs teams like that who are very disciplined and play hard. Ben Arthur. At first glance I mean I know it's only been one game but how was maybe Vaughn Miller impacted that front for them and maybe what's the balance of accounting for him maybe needing to double him at times but also knowing that as you said it's a very deep defensive front that they have for Buffalo. Yeah, Vaughn's a great player. No matter what team he's been on the past years. He's always productive. He's a guy that you know where he's at in every situation. He can impact the game run past. He's a guy that you always have a plan for know where he's at. So he's a great player and he has our utmost respect and he definitely changes the attitude of a defense. Jim White. And Ben I guess last several times you've gone up against these bills your teammates with Roger Saffold, David Cuisinberry what's it like now knowing they're with the bills how much do you keep in touch with them how much they seem to be enjoying Buffalo from what you know. Yeah, they're definitely our friends. We talked to them all the time. Great guys play a lot of good ball first here. Help us win a lot of games. So it's better sweet to see guys go, but we want to see them this week and hopefully come out on our end and give them a hug after the game and wish them well. Teresa. And on that when you have somebody who's been a teammate, how much can somebody like a Roger or Cuisinberry kind of tell the his new teammates that you know any of your habits or is this just something that guys have to do that work on their own. You know, can they be essentially double agents in a way they know you so well or is it just oversold when guys change teams as much as they do. They can give you some point and stuff like that. But for them knowing us, I know that aspect of it too so we go through the call changing and stuff like that so we understand that when you play an environment like the bill stadium. Not much is heard anyway that their fans are really loud so so we can go with that aspect too so they have to hear it through the crowd.
