What insights does Anthony Campanile share about elite players in the league?
How do you describe that guy? Really good. He's a great player. When I was in Miami for a bunch of years, we would play him at least twice a year. So one season there, we played three times. But he's a phenomenal player. Just every facet of what he does is elite. So he's elite in the pocket, elite thrower. Hard to tackle, obviously, in his career. But a smart guy, too. He's kind of running the show up there, as you know. He gets them into great plays. I think he's got all the skill sets of any elite player in this league at that position. And he makes you stay up late at night to try and get it right, that's for sure. Facing the league's number one rushing offense with the number one rushing defense, what kind of opportunity does that present for you guys?
I think it's just an opportunity for us to play with technique and do our job. That's kind of the way we're looking at it. That's the way the guys in the room are looking at it. That's how I'm looking at it. They challenge you in so many ways with their run game. make everybody tackle. They do a really good job in their combinations, do a good job playing with their hands as an offensive line. Really everybody, I would say. I think their perimeter does a very good job blocking. And that's generated a lot of the big runs for them down the field, even in the screen game, which are an extension of the run game. They've done a great job on the perimeter blocking. So it's a challenge at every level of the defense.
And the running back obviously is Elite, I think he does a tremendous job. Cook does a tremendous job of finding cracks. You look at some of the stuff on tape, there's nowhere to go, and he pops through there. So he's an elite back, and obviously the quarterback's an elite runner as well. But they have a bunch of good backs. So they've really given everybody fits at this point in the season and the run game. So it's a great challenge for us. Yeah, he's a guy they move around quite a bit, but he's just so elusive. And in my opinion, he's got great stop start, you know, and that's what's really challenging about him. So in man to man, he's a challenge to cover. And you got to know where he is really every down because he becomes an issue in terms of them, like you said, moving him around and them trying to get numbers issues in their favor in the run game too.
You guys have been able to put Josh and Trayvon next to each other on pass rush downs a few times in the last couple weeks. Just what can happen to you guys next to each other like that? Yeah, they work pretty well together, like even when we're running the pass rush games. And again, sometimes that's just trying to find the right matchup that we want in the rush. And I think that that's been pretty productive for us also. So they've done a great job with that, those two guys, and it's something I think they enjoy doing as well, you know, working together, working right next to each other. I feel like we've asked you about Antonio Johnson quite a bit lately.
How does the Jaguars' defense prepare for the Bills' rushing offense?
Keep asking because every time you do, he keeps playing good. Looking at your chess pieces, you got a guy with his size, his speed, ball skills that you can put down in the box if you want. You can move him around the defense and he can excel. He's done so much for us because of that, because he has a very unique skill set, because he's a big guy, big enough to play on the line of scrimmage, down on the line of scrimmage, like you said. Has really good coverage skills, so he can cover the skill guys and does a good job on tight ends as well. And he's got range when he plays in the post or plays in the half, so His football intelligence is really high, to be honest with you. I think I've said in here before just how hard he's worked, doing the extra stuff, meeting with other guys on the team and coaches.
He's improved so much, and he really gives us, to your point, gives us a lot of options with him in the game. He'd be this week when you go against a team like the Bills that has a couple of really good tight ends.
