Press Pass | Kirk and Hines-Allen on Uniting for MNF vs. Bills · Press Pass

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: It's a lot more difficult for offenses to get going
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: in regards to pushing the ball down the field. So
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: so I think you see a lot of teams offensively
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: trying to establish a run game, you know, get a guy,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: extra guy added into the box and then tries to
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: open up the past game. But you know, I think
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: it's just offensively, you just got to be more efficient,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: and defenses are doing a good job of, you know,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: getting offenses you know, out of position and beyond the chains.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Are you just out of rhythm a little bit because
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: of the play It's fifty in the first game, fifty
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: five in the second game. I mean, is it hard
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: to get people involved and individually being a rhythm and
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: then offensively when you're not making first downs and having
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of plays one hundred percent. Yeah, It's it's tough.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: You know, the rhythm is a real thing. And you know,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: when you have multiple three and outs and you're not
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: on the field for that long, you're waiting, you know,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: a couple of minutes to get back on the field,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: you know, it's it's tough, you know, And so that's
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: why I think for us, we got to do a
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: better job of staying on the field and like I said,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: being efficient on first and second down, and you know,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: putting ourselves in third and manageable and then also being
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: able to convert on third down.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Christian Doub said, timpo help you guys on Sunday.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, from your perspective, just how's.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: It help the offense? I think it helps because it
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: takes thinking out of it. It's just all reactionary. You know,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: you get the play call, get up to the line
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: of scrimmage and he snap the ball and so then
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: you're just reacting to what the defense is doing. You know,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: there's not as much time pre snap to be able
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: to try to decipher, okay, what are they in maybe
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: second guess yourself. It's just all reactionary and I feel
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: like that's when us as players are best. So I
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: know it's something going forward that we want to keep
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: development and keep using because when we do that, we're
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: definitely a better offense.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: As you're looking for that spark and prime time light
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: to be the spark for some guys going into the game.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: For sure, if you can't get up for one of
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: these and you know, definitely got a problem. But you know,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I believe everybody relishes the opportunity of being able to
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: play on Monday night, and especially in a place like Buffalo.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: You know, in that environment, you know, we're gonna have
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: to band together and we're all we got, so I know,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: you know, the energy is going to be high, and
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: you know, guys will have this sense an urgency and
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: level intensity that we need.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Can going on the road sometimes be that because you
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: do have to band together, you're going in the enemy
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: territory kind.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Of deal, sure, you know, And that's been one of
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the big messages this week is just coming together, you know,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: as a team. You know, I had to think on Sunday,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: you know, with some of the film that we put
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: out there, you know, guys weren't you know, playing together
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: and playing for one another? And that's all else as
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: leaders to be able to help facilitate that, help reiterate
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: that to you know a lot of the young guys
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: as well, that we're at our best when we play,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: you know, for one another.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: When you have that kind of even keeled quarterback like
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence and you see him starting to get a
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: little frustrated and showing some of those frustrations, does that get.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Guys going, sure, Yeah, you want to see that emotion
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: because that means he cares, you know, and he wants
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: us to be great, and I think we all do.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I think if you're not frustrated at this point, then
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: you know you don't care enough, you know, And I
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: know the guys that we have in this locker room,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the frustration comes from a good place because we know
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: how good of a team we can be, so definitely
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: when it comes from sixteen and I think guys rally
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: around that when you guys.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Are frustrated, though, how hard is that not to kind
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: of carry over every single day in the week, you
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: know what I mean, Like frustrated the day after the game,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: day game, But how can you keep that from becoming
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: an issue all week?
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh, I think we have enough guys that have
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: been in this league, you know, for a long time
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: that noted just flush it. And we have guys that
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: you know, don't throw a pity party, don't feel bad
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: for themselves, and don't feel bad for others. We have
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: another opponent this week that's a good opponent and they're
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: not gonna feel sorry for us either. So I think
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: that's what helps the frustration and nobody has time for that.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: You know, we're just trying to get one week better.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: We're trying to get a win and the w calling
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: them and we're trying to come together as a team.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: So you know, it's bigger than just one individual. It's
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: coming together as a team. And like I said, if
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: we feel that somebody's letting that linger too much, that
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: we have the type of leaders to be able to
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: bring guys along and show them the way.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I'm excited to see the next opponent. Yeah, what's it
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: been like this weekend?
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Hare?
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: After what happened coming out of the game last week,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: we all heard what Trevor said after the game and
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: then that approach seemed a little bit different for him.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: How has the team responded to what the quarterback had
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: to say?
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Just coming back in and doing what we're supposed to do,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: you know, respectfully, honding into the little details that we're
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: supposed to and really just doing just happening in one
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: to eleventh and executing those as high as value as
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: we can and just you know, be ready to practice.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I think today we had a great practice. Guys find around,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: guys doing the right thing. You know, a lot of
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: not a not a lot of mental mistakes we made today,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: so you know, that's a good start of the week.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: How much I know everybody talks about the quarterback here
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: in Buffalo, Josh, but how much is James cooked help
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: and make that whole.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Thing work right now?
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Definitely, when you look at in the past when we
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: played them, you know, they started throwing the ball, you know,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: forty times a game. So you know, when you look
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: at the last two games and towards the end of
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: the season, they started committing to the run, you know,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: even down the stretch, so you know, identifying knowing what
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: they're going to be and then playing fast up front
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: and stopping the run, get him in second and long
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: we know what to do, you know when it's uh,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: you know when they come out in a longer distance,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: but just stopping and run. He's been he's been running
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: the ball really well. And U you know, I'm excited
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: for a good game. I know it's gonna be a
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: physical one, especially up front. You know, we're looking forward
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: to it. We like, we like physicality and uh, you know,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: we're ready to showcase our talents.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: First down critical because.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Of all that. Oh yeah, definitely, you know we always
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: that's our that's our mindset really is too. You know,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: before we before we go out every drivet foyer, win
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: first down, win first down, win first down. So now
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: it's you know, you know, last year was think takeaways,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: thinking what takeaways, you know, with close setting, Now it's
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: win first down, win first down, win first down. So
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: it's very important. It's always important, and you know we
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: can give it second long situations and be able to
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: keep him back there big a game. Oh my god,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: that's I think I think, uh, excuse me, I got
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: a little running those you know, I think that's what
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: we've been missing as a defense. Uh. I think we've
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: been playing good football, you know, to a certain point
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: when we're not being ourselves. Man, we just gotta take
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: the ball away. We take the ball away. Man, We're
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: we put ourselves in a way better position to win
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: each and every game. So so you know, today's emphasis
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: was taking the ball away. Everything we did. I think
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: we did a good job today and uh we got
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: to keep that focus and then carry it on to
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: the game. We gotta get one.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: How well are guys like Monterek and the Jury and
• 6:14

• 6:18
  Speaker 2: for us for a minute now. So you know, the
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: trust I have in him is like just you know,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: out of this world. It's like he's you know, if
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: he was a Tyson or you know some of Francisco.

  Speaker 2: as a as a young player and step up and
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: play big games and and have big plays. You know,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I think his ceiling is going to keep it keep
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: getting better, especially the more football you play, the more
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: you start to see things, the more you start to
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: you know, that film study just feels a little bit different.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Oh snap, I see it a little bit quicker. And
