Speaker 1: Thanks, Stacy. Adrian, how are you today? I'm doing well. How are we feeling about Dylan's first Christmas? Man? Excited? I can't wait to get out of the the pitches and stuff. Or we're not going too crazy on the guests this time, just because he ain't gonna remember none of it, and he's gonna go out of most of it anyway, But just to be able to experience Christmas with him is gonna be a great feeling. Sounds like David, Andrews and Mackenzie had a little bit of a different game plan. Apparently there's some remote control car that you know, David's little guy is going to be driving here. You know, I don't know how they're gonna do that. You know, interesting strategy, you know. Yeah, you can't go wrong either way, right, No, you can't. Cool. Have a question for you on j C. Jackson. He was voted to his first Pro Bowl yet yesterday, and just from your experience around the league, you've seen high level corners in the league. What do you think has helped JC sort of elevate to that level? Yeah? It really should be a second, but I'm that he got got it this year. But the main thing you see from jac was just like he's a competitor, you know. He He's one of those corners I've been around. I've been fortunately being around some some good corners and even coming here and being around Steff, just him and Steff kind of got like the same mentality, like they don't want help, they don't want they got to catch the ball. They want everybody to know like, if this dude gets trapped up is because of me. And just seeing his growth even from last year to this year is just how much his knowledge of the game has grown over the off season and how he stepped into that role ever since we we pretty much traded Steff too, to know that he's the guy he has to take on bigger a bigger role. It's like it's cool to see because you can you could just see it in his eyes and you can see how in tune he is with every decision that we're making out there. And he was like that before, but it's just like at a whole other level now. Next question Mike Tierni, followed by Allen segel I too, was gonna ask you about j. C. Jackson, but I'll switch gears here on your Adrian and just In general. You know, you obviously saw Josh Allen a few weeks ago, the conditions were crazy, not expected to be quite like that this time around. Just how dangerous a player is he and is he one of those quarterbacks that you'd much prefer to keep in the pocket just because what we've seen him be able to do with his legs, especially that Tampa game just a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, I mean, it's definitely not gonna be the same game that it was the last time we played them. And you know, they got a bit of tasting the mouth, and we expecting them fully come out here and try to take advantage of whatever they can on our defense. We know that they're a team that likes to throw the ball or whatever, so we expect them to do a lot of that. They didn't. They didn't get to do as much of it as they wanted to the last game just because the weather and then permit it. But as far as Josh Allen, I mean, that dude can kill you from the pocket or inside the park, from the pocket or running around it really doesn't matter. So for us, our main thing is to just make sure he has a level of rush and just make it uncomfortable for him back there. He's going to get out. You know, he got out a few times last game. But with him is really like pick your poison, because if he stays in the pocket and he's still completing the ball, and that means our coverage isn't good. If he gets outside the pocket, then it's a whole different dynamic. So it's kind of like kick your poison just to follow up and change your gears a little bit. And I've asked us to David. I asked it to Devin mccordy yesterday. Is there sort of a sports hate that's developed with Buffalo just because you know, last year they took what had been the Patriots for a number of years by winning the division and then obviously you guys had a highly contested game on that Monday night, and now here you are seeing each other again just three weeks later, which is pretty rare to play games just close together. Sort of like, uh, you know, I respect those guys before, I don't I really like seeing them. I'm starting to build a distaste for them. Yeah, you know, I just got here last year, so I really didn't understand the rivalry like that, and I really didn't get a taste of it just because we didn't have the fan the fans in the standards last year. So Monday night you definitely felt it and you could definitely see like it was no love lost between either teams and having that quick turnaround like that, it's like the Mostes are still kind of high from that. You know you're coming down, but I think it's only been like two three weeks, so the Mostes are still up there. But you can see that these rovalies different than a lot of stuff that you see around the league. Thank you, Adrian. My next question Allen Segel, followed by Zach Cox. Adrian, having holidays to you and your family. Same to you. I want to follow up something on Mike that Mike just talked about a little bit in terms of Josh Allen as a safe How much difference is they're reading a quarterback that is not only mobile but can scramble. But you know what, sometimes during the game he's actually gonna have runs called for him. So how different is it reading the quarterback that kind of quarterback from a safety position? Yeah, when the quarterback is one dimensional, you know, it makes the game a whole lot easier. Unless they're those type of generational quarterbacks like the Bradies, Mannings guys like that. But of the new age quarterbacks, if you can kind of make a one dimensional then well they are one dimensional. So it makes it a whole lot easier. But when you're going against a guy who's confidented in his running ability, it makes it that much harder because you're covering for five six seconds and then he might break out the pocket and run for thirty yards. Last game we played them, we were covered, we thought we had good coverage, and then boom, next thing you know, you blinking these thirty yards down the field, and it just makes you that much more tired, and it makes you that much more irritated because you got those chances to get off the field. But with a guy like that who's supermobile, he just finds a way to get it done. So when when he's confident, when he's standing in the pocket tall and he's able to see those reads and he's able to take off whenever he feels like it, like it's a long game for the defense. Thanks Adrian. Next question zat cogsfolding Niquit. Hey, Adrian, how are you doing well? I found it interesting yesterday going back and looking at the uh some of the AFC Pro Bowl history, Uh, that you were the AFC Special Teams Pro Bowler in twenty eighteen, and every single other one of those since twenty eleven has gone to Matthews. Later. Yeah, just what can you say about about about matt now that you've been teammates for with him for for close to two years. Just about what kind of player and what kind of teammate he is. You understand why he's been at the top of the league and his Special Team's game for so long. Like the way he prepares, in the way that he takes care of his body, and the commitment he has to the game, Like it's no surprise that he's in the position that he's in, and like being able to see that first hand, like you hear about it from the outside, and like his dude's a dog. He works hard every day. Well they say that about everybody, but actually seeing it day in and day out, and it's the same routine every single day, and he makes sure his body is in tiptop shave, Like you understand why he's been at the top for so long. Thanks question, Nickqoite. Followed by Matthew Fairburn, Thank you, Stacy, Marry Christmas, Adrian march I just wanted to ask you about you know, Makin said post game after the Colts game that he didn't feel like the week of preparation was the best for you guys last week leading into that game. How do you feel the response has been this week. Are you feeling that sense of urgency with the team. Yeah, you never want to lose, and you never want to you never want to focus on the lows like that. But everybody's, everybody's level of preparation is is tuned up and not so like there's another level to it for a few reasons. You know, we're playing a division robbery, and you know this is a huge game, not just because of what possibly on the line was, just because it's the next one. And you don't want to get into a low where we're having a two game, three game losing streaks. So you kind of get hit in the mouth like that last week. You got that bit of taste in your mouth. So everybody making sure they bunker down now and they're making sure that the level of preparation is even more. Two final questions. Matthew Fairburn and Andrew Kelly. Hey, Adrian wondering what you've learned playing Devin mccordy the last couple of years. A lot, a whole lot, you know. Primarily I came from a system that was more of a strictly covered three, and I came from even before that, we were a multiple defense, and I played with Eric Ruddle and I was able to learn a lot from him, And after that we were in a you know, the Seattle three defensive style. So at the free safety market, there was stuff that you could see at you could see during the game, but you only had like so many checks to make. It was more of just like don't let the ball go over your head, you know, stuff like that, and if you see certain formations, you could take your chances here and do whatever. But coming to the defense like this that we we game plan each and every single week, and it changes like we change our clothes. Like just seeing the amount of checks he has to deal with and how much how much film he has to watch to be able to be on top of those chafe, Like he has ten other guys sitting there waiting on him to make the check. You know, he has the keys, so I've learned a lot from him. So I sit by him and try to pick his brain and say, hey, and this certain information, what are you looking at? What made you check this, what made you do this? What made you jump this route? And as far as free shafety, even though I haven't been back there as much, I've learned a lot from him, just because I see the game like kind of through his eyes, and and it's slowing down for me. Thanks Adrian's question, Andrew kill him. Hey, Adrian, good to see a merry Christmas, Mary, Christmas. Thanks. So I wanted to ask you, you know, because Devin was talking about this yesterday. Actually just the idea that a year ago, at this time, playoff hopes are dead and the water you don't necessarily have a whole lot to play for now. It's not having T shirt time, but you're getting real close with a win. What does that feel like looking back to where you were a year ago to where now you're just that close to the division with a winning. It's a complete one eighty. You know, last year we were, you know, we were kind of liking on wounds, knowing the season was about the end. You're not necessarily count down the days to the season ends, but you know that that time is coming. Now. We know that we're fighting for something and we know what could potentially be on the other side of that door. So it's a big difference between last year and this year, and you can see it with guys in the locker room and they don't want to let this, this potential situation slid. It's just kind of where you imagine when when you signed here. I know that was a while ago, but you know they've obviously won a lot of divisions here definitely. You know after I signed, I think the year before they had just lost the Tennessee and the heartbreak loss of the playoffs. But you know, you're thinking that you got Brady and all this other stuff, You're gonna be right back, and then boom, Brady's gone, and then boom you had the year you have last year, You're like, hold on, wait a minute. So being back to where we are now and putting in that work that we put in just is I mean, we're reaping the benefits and there's still a lot more for us to do, so we're just keeping our head down. Appreciate it if you out man, Thank you too.
Speaker 1: Thanks, Stacy. Adrian, how are you today? I'm doing well. How are we feeling about Dylan's first Christmas? Man? Excited? I can't wait to get out of the the pitches and stuff. Or we're not going too crazy on the guests this time, just because he ain't gonna remember none of it, and he's gonna go out of most of it anyway, But just to be able to experience Christmas with him is gonna be a great feeling.
