00:00 Make sure we know the opponent.
00:02 I can't 7/8 of these one score
00:05 games just go down the schedule.
00:08 And you just have to look at the tape.
00:13 You know they're they're near the top of
00:16 the league in every category defensively.
00:18 The first in the league in rushing
00:20 defense red zone defense third down.
00:22 I mean all those stats that they
00:24 make it difficult. For big plays,
00:27 you know they stay on top.
00:28 I think they're near one or
00:30 two and big plays given up.
00:33 So they've been in a lot of.
00:34 Close games and.
00:38 And I think when you when you watch the film,
00:41 you can see that you can see all of those things.
00:44 Obviously they've had a quarterback change.
00:47 And you know,
00:48 we've got to have our best week of
00:50 preparation to get ready for these guys.
00:52 The first thing that comes to mind.
00:54 You know, Bill's always.
00:56 You know,
00:57 he's got an OK structure odd front,
00:59 but then gets in some even fronts and so.
01:03 These guys will get into some Buffalo
01:05 and play a true nickel front.
01:08 But they can.
01:09 They can get in and out of some of their.
01:12 Base defensive looks with a
01:15 Buffalo personnel grouping,
01:16 and so they present.
01:18 They present a lot of.
01:23 Complications when you talk about
01:25 the positions and Mike IDs because
01:28 they've got different players
01:30 that can fit in these spots.
01:32 So if I painted you know a picture
01:35 for you of a weak side linebacker,
01:37 Mike linebacker in a Sam,
01:40 but then in one minute the Sam could be.
01:42 You know a safety that there there's.
01:46 There's some unique looks that you
01:48 don't see on a weekly basis that you
01:50 know we have to have a good week of
01:52 being on the same page and understanding
01:54 the front we're getting and the
01:56 defense we're getting.
01:57 That's the one thing that stands out.
01:59 I think they're heavy inside.
02:01 You know these guys will to gap.
02:03 They do a great job of of being strong
02:06 at the point of attack and shedding
02:09 blocks and the other thing is I think
02:11 they're first in the league in tackling
02:14 efficiency relative to yards after contact.
02:16 They're extremely well coached
02:18 and they tackle well.
