Bills coach Sean McDermott
Opening Statement: Alright, we'll go ahead and open it up to questions. Good morning.
Q: Is anybody not practicing today with injuries?
A: Standard operating procedure. I should've known. Those not practicing will be Kelvin [Benjamin], Kyle [Williams], Shareece [Wright], and then Ryan Groy has an illness that popped up this morning. Limited will be Charles Clay and E.J. Gaines.
Q: A lot of your players, and I'm sure you're rooting for this entire team to make the playoffs, but what Kyle [Williams] has meant to this organization. It's only your first year, but what would it mean to have Kyle Williams have a shot at making the playoffs and getting that [checked] off his resume?
A: I think it would mean the world, really. It would mean the world to this city and I think it would mean the world to Kyle. I also know that he wants that but he also wants what comes with that at the end of it [with] the journey, the championship there, just in small talks I've had with Kyle about it. There's a lot of emotion that goes into that because of all the blood, sweat and tears he's put in [and] his family has put into this city and this team and the hours that he spends here trying to perform at a very high level for so many years. There is an emotion tied to that.
Q: Sean, how is your relationship with Kyle unique to that of others you've had with players throughout your career?
A: It's hard not to be, or not to gravitate towards a guy like that because of who he is as a person more so than anything. I mean, I've had [what] I would call professionally close relationships with quite a few of the players I've been fortunate to be around, Kyle no different. He's a special individual, plays the game a certain type of way that really endears himself to me in just the way he plays. It's just, how could you not like the way he plays and appreciate that, right? And the way he carries himself when he's off the field. To me, it's a great example of how you do it.
Q: And he was like a fifth rounder? A lot of teams overlooked him and he's part of that underdog mentality you're looking for.
A: He is. I mean, yeah. It's another great story just in terms of, it happens all the time in this business where people are told they're not good enough. They're not worthy and [Kyle is] a great story of how if you work hard and you continue to believe in yourself, that good things happen. Good things happen to good people as well, and he's earned that.
Q: You seem to talk a lot with Kyle during stretch and stuff like that. Is that part of that bond that you're kind of talking about?
A: It's hard not to talk to Kyle because he's, quite often, trying to get my attention to tell me something that basically, hold me accountable, right? I'll say that just to keep it [politically correct] right now. He's a fun guy to be around [and] he keeps things light. One of the great things about Kyle is he knows how to flip the switch, though, in terms of not with the lights but more so just when it's time to get serious, he can take it to another level, which the great ones can.
Q: You and Brandon [Beane] both have talked all along about being about the future as well as the present. How could one win and getting into playoffs alter what you guys have in store in terms of this roster moving forward?
A: Well I think it would be a step, really. I know emotionally, I'll just take that separately for a second, what it means to the people of this great city. There's a lot that goes along with that. The part of building this team the right way, this would be a step. As we continue to build and grow, and build that solid foundation – changing the culture [and] changing the belief – we're heading in the right direction. It would be a step as we continue to grow.
Q: There is talk that it'd be harder to cut 'x', 'y', 'z' if they make the playoffs. That would be a bad look. How much truth is there to that, the sentiment of it, if certain players got you to the playoffs that you might think you have to move on?
A: Well, we evaluate everything. You don't evaluate things just in a vacuum [with] one thing over another thing. You have to, at the end of the day, do what's right for the team. That's what we've done since the time we've been here, and we'll continue to do that responsibly moving forward.
Q: How do you know that this franchise is taking a step in the right direction? When one season is separate from another, what do you see, in that step in the right direction?
A: Probably more so than anything, and you're right, just with the fact of – you see teams make it one year and don't make it the next year. One of the great lessons I learned from the Super Bowl year coming out of Carolina going into the next season was that culture from one year to another year [and] teams from one year to another year are almost separate entities. Even though you'd like to be able to say that there's carryover, you want there to be carryover, it's not guaranteed though; that there's carryover from a culture standpoint [and] from a performance standpoint. That's why what we do in that offseason [with] the roster moves we make or don't make are so important to our future success in building upon what we did in this first year. That's kind of a science in and of itself right there.
Q: How much does that impact the goal of sustaining success?
A: Yeah, it's huge. It's all part of the building process. A lot of people, I think, I would say have plans for – you hear it a lot, those words, the first 90 days or what's your plan for the first 90 days? Just as important, if not more important, really is what's your plan between year one and year two? That's something we spend a lot of time, Brandon and myself, talking about, researching, putting in the due diligence, and carrying forward all of the lessons we've learned over the years to put ourselves in a good position.
Q: This is the only game that's 4:25pm for an east coast game. I know how meticulous you are and I know it's like three hours. Does that change preparation in any way with body clocks and when you want to be at peak performance on Sunday?
A: [The] sports science department does a great job with that. They've put in the time to research it so I follow their lead. We'll be well organized, I can guarantee you that.
Q: Where does the culture of the locker room and the team rank in the reasons you guys have been successful and on the verge of making the playoffs?
A: The culture is huge to me, in terms of – one of the first steps in trying to establish [and] the boxes you try and check. Easier said than done, though. It starts with people [with the] people in our building, and then, also, the players in the locker room. We've tried, as you guys have seen – I remember standing up here in free agency, one press conference after another of talking about the character of the players that we were bringing in, as well as the drafted players. You see, that's really how it starts to get going in the right direction in terms of the culture. It's so much driven by people – whether it's players or other staff members, coaches, people in our marketing department, ticketing – it's really a people-driven part of an ingredient of success, really, in terms of the culture. You got to have that, in my opinion, before you sometimes get the results on the field. The belief comes before the results at times.
Q: Do you think that can help talent overachieve?
A: I wouldn't say it doesn't. I would say it certainly helps. To have a talented football team is one thing, to have a team that plays well together, is another thing, whether that team is highly talented or not. I think that, in the great teams I've been around – the Super Bowl teams – some of those were talented, yes. But more than that, they had great chemistry and the culture leads to great chemistry.
Q: There's a little bit of a, it seems like reflection going on today. Now you've reached the point in the schedule where you're looking at the final regular season game. Has it gone fast, the first year as a head coach? Do you look back and go 'wow, that was pretty fast'?
A: [Laughs] Yeah, I think it has. We've got some guys on our staff, we were talking about this the other evening that are first-year. Some of the younger coaches are first-year NFL guys. They've come from college or what have you. I had asked the same question, 'has it gone fast?' Typically, your first year doesn't go fast because it's a long season that way – in particular, if you're coming from college. As a head coach, and the first year is always the first year in whatever job there is – in this case for me, the head coaching job, it's gone fast, it really has. It's flown by. It's been challenging and I've loved it, every minute of it. It's been fun to watch our building hang together, as you've heard me say before. That's part of building our culture, is being able to sustain that through one season and another season. That's the great part of it that tells me we're heading in the right direction.
Linebacker Preston Brown
Q: Knowing what's at stake for this week, knowing you guys have to win, how do you guys not scoreboard watch to an extent as well on Sunday?
A: We'll play at the same time, so you can't really check your phones, see what they're doing. We all have to focus on what we have to do. Around the league, I know a lot of people on the Bengals, so I try to talk to them to see what they have going on. We have to handle our business and try to get a win down in Miami.
Q: What's it like to be in a game like this, knowing that if you win, if things fall in your favor, you guys will be a part of the group that snaps this postseason drought.
A: Yeah, it'd be great. The city, I'm sure, will be super excited to have this happen, especially in this matter where a lot of people aren't sure if you can make it, what the scenario is, what can happen. If you wake up in the morning, and you're in the playoffs, that's a great feeling. It's something I've never felt before, so I'm trying to feel that.
Q: Do you recall where you were at in life in 1999, last time the Bills made the playoffs?
A: Where I was in life?
Q: Right before Y2K?
A: Yeah, I was seven. I was born in '92, so I was like seven years old winning Super Bowls in little league, so it's been a long time.
Q: You rank fourth in the league in tackles, and you're on the verge of posting a career high in that category. I know this is the final year in your rookie contract, does that play any factor in your performance on the field?
A: Not really. People don't really care about tackles that should lead the league. It is what it is. I'm just trying to go out there and help the team win, any way I can. If it's getting tackles, if it's going out calling stuff out, that's what I'll try and do each week.
Safety Micah Hyde
Q: What were you doing in 1999, the last time the Bills made the playoffs?
A: 1999, I was eight years old. My birthday is December 31st, so it's my birthday on Sunday. What grade are you in when you're eight years old?
Q: Third grade.
A: How did you know that so fast?
Q: I'm the same age as you, that's why.
A: Second or third grade, okay. Yeah, I was in Mrs. Green's class, probably on Christmas break; probably just out there playing in the snow in Ohio.
Q: You're playing a team that you're facing again, was it two weeks ago?
A: Yeah.
Q: The challenges of playing a team that you've played [before], or what makes it easier?
A: I've learned – even back in high school, back in middle school – playing a team twice is difficult. Obviously, in the NFL, it's very difficult. It was two weeks ago, so it's pretty hard. They're going to make adjustments, we're going to make adjustments, and from there, we have to play a solid game. It's going to come down to communication, which it always is. But this is big, just [having] played the team. This is going to be a challenge for us.
Q: What's the key defensively in trying to figure out what [Jarvis] Landry is going to do? He's not a guy that's going to line up on the outside, he's going to line up everywhere. What's the biggest key to making sure you know, because he is their big guy, where he's going to be at and what he's going to do?
A: You have to have awareness of where he's at, at all times. Like you said, he lines up everywhere. They do a good job of moving him around. He does line up outside, he lines up in the slot, he lines up in the backfield. You just have to be aware and know what type of routes, or what type of plays they might run from his position. Like I said, they do a good job of mixing it up. We just have to get that film study in. If you're not sure, just play to your fundamentals.
Q: I doubt you know what his stat line is, but it's really unique. He has a 100-and-something catches, but he's only averaging 8.5 yards per catch, which is pretty strange for a wide receiver – which shows he does all of his work on those shallow routes.
A: Yeah, that is, for sure. But we know what type of player he is. He's good with the ball in his hands, just breaking tackles and stuff like that. He's basically a running back when he gets the ball in his hands. That's something we have to prepare ourselves for. We saw that in the first game, he ran a jet, got upfield and basically turned into a running back in the open field. We know what type of player he is; he's a big challenge for us; a big challenge for a lot of defenses around the league. We're trying to prepare accordingly.
Guard Richie Incognito
Q: How do you handle the business of trying to either avoid watching the scoreboard or keeping an eye on things? You have to win your own game, and you know that, but you're going to need some help too.
A: We're definitely going to be focused, locked in in our game. The scores are pretty accessible, in the stadium you can see them. But that doesn't take us out of our game. We still have to go out there and produce and finish. Being this close with this group, and knowing the history and all that, I know our guys will respond the right way.
Q: Not just you, but we hear a lot about the Buffalo drought. Kyle Williams has talked about it a lot. What about you, this is a chance for you to go for the first time as well?
A: Yeah, a chance for me to go the playoffs for the first time, really a chance for me to be on a 9-7 team for the first time. It's exciting. I'm trying to pull as many young guys together as I can to get them to buy in, go out there and be physical, and have the right mindset.
Q: All of the talk about, what about Kyle, are you thinking a little bit, kind of laughingly, what about Richie?
A: [Laughs] No, talk about Kyle. Everybody talk about Kyle. I'm sure he'll probably say the same thing, 'talk about Richie'. No, it's special, and being this close, being able to taste it, waking up, it has a different feeling, it really does, at this point in the season. It's exciting. I hope the guys stay in the moment, I hope the guys embrace it and I hope the guys show up on Sunday and let it all hang, play our best football of the season.
Running Back LeSean McCoy
Q: Alright, LeSean. Week 17, this game has a lot of meaning. It's been a few years since that's happened here. What kind of extra juice do you get out of that?
A: We have to put everything on the line. We've got to work hard and prepare well. This game is very important to us. [It's the] most important game of the year, to have a shot [for] myself and my teammates. We're ready to put everything on the line.
Q: Is there a vibe in the locker room that makes you feel that way?
A: Yeah. Just everybody. Everybody's dialed in. Our team meeting, we talk as a group and everybody's dialed in and ready to go. This is a must-win situation. Everybody's put everything on the line and everybody knows the situation. I think you'll see a team come out playing fast [and] playing hard.
Q: LeSean, when you talk about wanting to make the playoffs and all the work you do, we had this conversation with you guys in April through the summer. Is it more real now, now that we're down to the final game?
A: Yeah. I think it's definitely more because it's here. It's right in front of our face. If we have any shot to make it, we've got to win this game. It's one thing to be playing for something, but to actually have it in front of you is another thing. Like I said before, we're dialed in. We're ready to go. It's a must-win.
Q: You are 119 yards from scrimmage away from having your second-best season ever. I don't know if you realize that. When you look back at the way the season started with the struggles in the run game, does that kind of surprise you that you've been able to put together the numbers you have this year?
A: That doesn't surprise me. I have a really good offensive line and we focus here on the run first. I know there will be some times where it will be tough [to run] in games because teams come in here focusing on the run and they'll focus in on me. So it's not a surprise, but we've had some good games and bad games. It's a matter of just being in the middle. Not getting too high [and] not getting too low. Just sticking with it. Still being confident.
Q: Obviously, Miami is a divisional opponent so you know them pretty well already, but does it help just having played them two weeks ago and you guys having some success against them?
A: Yeah, because two weeks is not that far, not that long ago. I'm sure they'll be running the same type of fronts, the same type of blitzes, and you know what you're getting. Also, you played their guys two weeks ago so a lot hasn't changed in two weeks. That's a good thing.
Q: Second half scoring, LeSean. Even against Miami the first time, you guys jumped on them early but have trouble sustaining drives and scoring in the second half. Have the players and coaches talked about sustaining some of the first half success into the second half? It seems to be troublesome of late.
A: Seriously, I think it's important that we finish a lot better than we have, and also adjusting. We're making plays in the first half. Obviously, a team would make changes to stop it. We have to do a better job of adjusting as well, and having an attitude where, 'hey, we've got to put a team away.' Too many times where we're letting teams linger on in the game instead of finishing and putting them away.
Q: How dangerous of a team do you think you'd be if you guys make the playoffs with matchup possibilities?
A: A lot of games we're in, we're in there. We're fighting. It's close games. It's a matter of finishing and I think that if you give a team a chance to get in, all of the records go away, all of the stats go away, it's just a team versus a team, a man versus a man. There have been plenty of times where the underdog gets in the playoffs and they makes some noise. I was actually part of that before in Philadelphia where Aaron Rodgers just turned it on [against us]. It's a matter of just getting in the playoffs. It's a whole different ballgame. It's so late in the year, guys are hurt, guys not as fresh, you have so much game film to watch to prepare for a team, so you've just got to get in.
Q: LeSean, after the last home game, you talked about how much the city has embraced you and how much you call it home. What would it be like to be a part of the team that finally breaks the playoff drought?
A: That'll be special. It really would. Going so long without a playoff game, to bring that here to the city would be excellent. The only thing is, we don't want that to be the only thing to celebrate. It's not like a championship. It's not really an accomplishment in my eyes because it's something you should do. We want to have that thing where we're constantly getting into the playoffs, not be in a situation where things have to go our way or we've got to get a win to get in [but instead] to have a chance to actually be in and prepare for it. But it would be nice to get into the playoffs and who knows [what will happen] at that point.
Q: Does it make it easier or tougher that some of the scenarios that you guys need to happen in those games, they're all at that 4:25 PM slot?
A: I think it makes it a lot easier because you're just playing. You're playing and you have one thought in mind and say 'hey, we've got to win.' Anything can happen on the other side. We're all playing together. You're not playing a game and then scoreboard watching. Sometimes, I get caught up in looking at scoreboards during the game or looking at rushing yards during a game. We could just focus on winning this one game and our minds think that, 'okay, Baltimore has lost.' From there on, you can just play the game.
Q: Do you think you'll take a peek at the scoreboard in between series when you're on the sideline, just to see how the other team is doing?
A: That's natural. I probably shouldn't. I'll tell Coach [Sean McDermott] I won't but I probably will just to see what's going on. I've been calling [Ravens WR Jeremy] Maclin the last three days just messing with him. I know he's hurt so I'm trying to keep him out. But hey, it's a must-win and we know that. So I'll be watching, seeing what's going on with Joe [Flacco] and the Ravens.
Quarterback Tyrod Taylor
Q: Did you get any friendly, competitive texts between you and Joe [Flacco] this week?
A: Oh, no. I talked to Joe a couple weeks ago, but it wasn't about the scenario that we're in now. I pretty much focus on taking care of business throughout the week, and going out and doing whatever it takes to win this week.
Q: Your numbers against Miami have been maybe the best in your career against an opponent. What is about playing against them that seems to bring out the best in you?
A: I don't know if I can pinpoint what exactly causes that. [They're] definitely a team that I like to play against. They're a talented group. Of course, they're in our division; and any time you get a chance to play a team twice, you definitely know those guys. It's a big rivalry game for us. Everyone gets pumped up for that game, myself included.
Q: I know Coach [Rick] Dennison was down on the sidelines again last week, was that a request by you, or how did that all work out? What was his decision making–
A: I'm not sure what weighed in on that decision. He told us the night before the game he was going to be down on the sideline, and that's the decision that he went with. It doesn't necessarily bother me; I'm cool with it whether he's up in the booth or down on the field.
Q: In the offensive series, you'd think it be human nature just to maybe take a peek at the scoreboard, to see what the Ravens are doing, what the Chargers are [doing], since all the games are going on at the same time? LeSean [McCoy] said I'm telling Coach [Sean McDermott] I won't look, but he said he probably will.
A: I probably won't. It's not that I probably won't, I won't look up. More so, just focused on the game because the scenarios that are out there, the best scenario is when we win. We have to focus on winning the game, and let everything else take care of itself.
Q: You said you won't look at the scoreboard–
A: I won't force myself not to look at the scoreboard, but I'm not necessarily worried about that.
Q: There's so many other players on the field, as a quarterback, in terms of leading a team, how do you get them focused with centering on the game at hand, and not wondering what else?
A: Everybody knows what's at stake, and everyone knows we need our best performance this Sunday. We're preparing that way, this week. As far as on game day, if you look up, or you don't, we still have a job to do, and that's where your focus needs to be. I believe that's where everyone's focus will be.
Q: Two years ago, you guys were the spoilers with the Jets who were in the situation you're in now. Can you take anything from what worked with you guys that day, and [do you] know to do in the other direction to prevent Miami from spoiling your shot this weekend?
A: Execution, that's what it boils down to. Play in and play out, everyone laying it out on the line for one another; for the community; for their families. Then, just going out there and playing our style of football. We understand how big of a game this is, and we're excited for the opportunity.
Q: How much thought have you given your future beyond this game here in Buffalo?
A: I haven't thought much about it. I'm focused on a great lunch today after practice, and focused on great meetings after that.
Q: Is there more juice just because of the fact that this is a meaningful game here in week 17? That hasn't happened here in a long time. Can you sense the vibe in the locker room that there's more juice for this thing with what's on the line?
A: Absolutely. As a competitor, it's a great opportunity for us to rise to the occasion as a team [and] individually. Meaningful football – I've said this a couple of times this year – meaningful football in December, and especially the last weekend of games, basically takes us into the playoffs. It boils down, like I said, to us executing and us going out there and playing our best game. I'm excited for the opportunity as well as all the guys in the locker room are excited; as well as the coaches and we're taking it day by day until we get there and play it out on the field.
Q: That last game against Miami, you guys punched them in the mouth early and then you had a little struggle in the second half. Have you guys talked the last couple of weeks about trying to sustain that or maybe try to make better adjustments? I don't know what it is. I mean, you tell me.
A: Absolutely. We've talked about it. Just have to have that killer instinct, is what it boils down to; to be able to finish teams and put teams away. We had an opportunity to do that in the first game against them and we didn't close it out the way that we want to. We've had a couple of times throughout this year where we have closed out in a fashion that we like, and we haven't. This game is definitely key for one of those points to be able to start fast and finish strong.
Q: You guys need some other things to happen to get in [to the playoffs]. Do you go into this with the mindset of this is a playoff game, essentially? You know if you lose, you're out. If you win, there's a chance you advance. It's a little different, but is that the mindset going in?
A: Definitely a mindset. Like you said, it's a playoff game for us. We have to win in order for us to set ourselves up to get a chance to go into the playoffs and that's where our focus is at.
Q: What steps forward do you feel like this team has taken, whether it be on the field or in the locker room, regardless of whether you make the playoffs or don't, under Sean McDermott?
A: I think we've progressed in a lot of different ways. Of course, our goal first and foremost is to get to the playoffs and go far into the playoffs. I just think that over this past year, this team has been through a bunch transaction-wise. Emotionally, we've been put to the test and I think this team has definitely stayed strong and been able to continue to fight for each other and continue to play well and put ourselves in a position where we've taken another step from years past.
Q: Are you looking forward to 70° weather to throw the ball in, instead of what you've had the past few weeks?
A: Football is football. Can't control the conditions. Of course, it's always nice to play in that weather but I enjoy playing in the cold as well, too. I embrace the weather that we have here. It's cold, but everywhere can't be eighty degrees and sunny and shiny. We embrace home games, as well as we love going and playing away as well.
Defensive Tackle Kyle Williams
Q: Yet, you called B.S. on a lot of us back in August, when we said this team is rebuilding, this team is tanking, this team is not going anywhere – and you never wavered in saying that this team has the chance to be a playoff contender because I believe it?
A: Yeah, and I believe that just because [I had] the opportunity to view all of these guys work. We talk about it a lot. Everybody wants to win. Everybody is going to talk about winning, but not everybody is willing to do what it takes - they're not willing to prepare. Talent aside, no matter if you're talking about a high-talent level, a low-talent level, there's that equalizer in there that's called preparation, hard work, will, and those kinds of things. I saw that a lot in these guys. Is it perfect? Absolutely not. Can we be better at a lot of things? Yep, all the time. But, because of their character, their hard work, their preparation, they're willing to compete all the time, we're at this point where we are.
Q: Is it different for the first time in your career preparing for a finale with the playoffs still on the line?
A: I don't think about it in those terms, like all of that is going on. I think about it the same way I thought about the game last week. What can I do to best prepare myself and my teammates to go win one football game, against a division team - against a team in Miami that obviously plays well at home. There's a lot to worry about, just in that, without adding all the extra in there.
Q: How does it feel though when you hear these guys talk about, not just coaches, but players wanting to get you to the playoffs?
A: Well I think, number one, what we're trying to accomplish and what we're trying to do is much larger and bigger than I am. It's not about me, it's about our football team, our organization and or city. I appreciate the compliments, and I'm glad that you guys ask them questions about me, and they have to answer it nicely, because if they don't, I'll bust their balls about it. [Laughs] Oh, he has his camera on. This is about our football team and our organization. It's much bigger than me, it's not about me.
Q: At what point can you be selfish though? You've been here going on 12 years, can you not be selfish for just one moment, and try to figure out [that] making the playoffs means just as much to you as maybe this entire team?
A: I think it means a lot to all of us. If I ever become selfish, I need somebody to call me out on it and I need them to tell me. I'm sure that if my mother, or my grandfather or grandmother, somebody like that, they'll be willing to call me out on being selfish and everything like that. It's not about me, it's really not. It's about our football team. It's about the whole group that I talked about, the way that they work, the way that they prepare, being paid off for what they've paid in, all the things that they've done. Like I said, there's a collective here, and nobody's in front of the team, and nobody's bigger than the football team.
Center Eric Wood
Q: This week, you guys know what's ahead of you, what's in front of you. What's the mindset heading into Miami knowing what's at stake in week 17?
A: We're fired up, this is a playoff game for us, essentially. We have to win it. It's exciting; first week 17 that I've been a part of here, that we've had something on the line. But, we have to go down to Miami, a tough place to play, and go get a win first.
Q: What's it like for you, as one of the veterans in this locker room, to be in a situation like this for the first time in your career with, essentially, a playoff game in week 17?
A: It's fun, definitely makes it more meaningful. To play a full season of meaningful games, it's a step in the right direction. I like where this franchise is heading. But, huge game this week, can't get too far sided here. We have a lot to focus on this week.
Q: Knowing that all of the games were pushed to 4:25, how do you kind of avoid being on the bench on Sunday, and peeking up at the scoreboard to see where everybody else is?
A: Yeah, you have to stay focused and avoid it. I'd be naïve to say that I probably won't glance up there at some point. In every NFL stadium, they're projecting those scores pretty good. Mentally, you can't let it affect you one way or the other. Games can swing one way or the other. Like I said, we have to focus on beating a good Miami football team; super talented team.
Q: In the second half, I think the last five games, you guys don't have an offensive touchdown. How do you guys fix that in a week, in week 17?
A: We have to make proper adjustments when they're there. Last time we played, Miami had a lead, and we weren't able to capitalize on that in the second half. Then, obviously, the snow game, not going to be an incredible amount of touchdowns there. Just progressing week-to-week as an offense; locking in. This will be the second time we've played them, so we're both pretty familiar with each other. It'll be on us, making adjustments from the first game and capitalizing on those.
Q: Rico [Rick Dennison] says it's a lot about execution, and that's kind of where the [offensive] issues have come. Is it even more frustrating knowing you're this deep into the season, and it's an execution issue above all?
A: Yeah, and that can happen in the second or third year of an offense. On offense, you need, essentially, 11 guys making plays every play to execute down the field. On defense, you could have one guy make a spectacular play and kind of salvage the play. On offense, you need most guys to operate at a high level. Especially in the second half [over] the last few weeks; too many breakdowns to really be efficient on offense.

I am bad at showing my emotion through text. I don't mean to be rude if I come off that way.
I am currently very much open to requests from my CB prize! Just PM me and we can try to work something out.
If you obtain an egg from me and would like me to name one or both of the parents or any other dragons that I own in the lineage, just ask! I can randomize the name or put in a name that you choose. I have no naming rules, so anything goes, pretty much.
The CB Prize Section:
IOUs are open right now for prize offspring and fails.
If my female CB bronze shimmer produces the wrong egg, I am allowed to do what I want with it.
If my shimmer produces the correct egg but you do not pick it up within 48 hours, I consider the IOU fulfilled.
I have decided that I will cycle through the list and not breed in order. This is so that the people who want prizes from holidays and other breeds that are easy to get a prize from do not have to wait for weeks or months as I breed with a more common mate.
More detailed wishlist on my website listed on my profile. This is just for very specific things that I am looking for.
-I am looking for a second generation blue baikala from two green baikalas. This is possible if at least one of the green baikala parents is from the coast, which was the result of a glitch on release day.
Completed IOUs:
-Sinion Kabe gave me a CB male Neglected.
I gave Sinion Kabe a 2gen Bronze Shimmer from a male pink Zyumorph. The neglected was given to me at the start of the trade, and I sent my side to Sinion Kabe a little over two weeks later, when it was bred.
-moon89 gave me https://dragcave.net/lineage/3kzc6 at the start of a trade. I owed them a prize egg from a male sunset. They owed me 3 chickens and 2 dinos of each color. They gave most of the eggs to me early on in the trade. My prize has produced its egg and I have sent it over.
-rinoa26 gave me two eggs with good codes. I gave them a 2gen prizefail.
-The Dragoness owed me 40 CB mint hatchlings and I owed them a 2gen shimmer egg from a male tan ridgewing.

-FAstudent12 gave me 20 mint hatchlings and an Antarean hatchling for a 2nd gen shimmer from Antarean.
-jinglepupskye owed me 8 mint hatchlings and I owe them a 2gen shimmer egg from a male holly. They have given me the hatchlings already. I bred the egg and offered it to them but they did not pick it up. I consider the IOU fulfilled because they appear to have returned but have not contacted me again.
-Aqub gave me 8 Mint hatchlings for a 2gen Shimmer egg from pacified Aegis.

Thai Airways union threatens to ground carrier
The labour union of Thai Airways International has threatened to ground the airline's fleet if protesters rallying to oust Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra are badly treated by police. Such protests have been taking place across Bangkok for more than a month but have intensified this week.
"If the government uses force to disperse the protesters and people are injured, we will increase the pressure by stopping the plane wheels from turning," Damrong Waikanee, president of the Thai Airways Labour International Union told Reuters.

Wrap Your Mouths Around These Tasty Popsicle Tattoos
It's summertime, shove a stick in something and commence licking.
Summer's here and there's only one recourse from the heat — to suck and lick your way to refreshing coolness. So wet your lips, open wide, and get ready to slide a nice thick shaft of rejuvenating relief to the back of your throat. Close your eyes and think about how good it's going to feel to fill your mouth with a delicious burst of summertime flavor as we take a look at some really cool popsicle tattoos.
We've all loved sucking on these icy poles since childhood, but how many of you knew that in Australia they're actually called icy poles? There are plenty of names for these yummy treats the world over. "Popsicle," which is the most commonly used name in the US, is actually an example of a genericized trademark, much like Kleenex, Thermos, and Dumpster. The proper name for this tasty frozen morsels is actually "ice pop," though in different parts of the world they are also known as freezer pops, ice lollies, ice blocks, ice drops, freezies, and even chihiros.
The history of the ice pop dates back to 1923 when Frank Epperson of Oakland, California, was granted a patent for ice on a stick. That's right, the idea of freezing something and putting a stick in it is trademarked intellectual property.
While ice pops are fun to eat, there's so much more you can do with them. You can utilize them in pieces of art that speak volumes about the state of polluted water. Or, if you're the Snapple corporation, you can nearly flood Manhattan with kiwi-flavored sludge when your attempt to create the world's largest popsicle backfires spectacularly.
But the best use of a piece of frozen liquid with a stick in it is staying cool on hot summer days. But just take a look at these amazing popsicle tattoos that stay cool all year round.
Don't these tattoos look good enough to lick? You bet they do. But why not opt for something a little less salty and get yourself an actual ice pop instead?

Over at Pajamasmedia, "Zombie" is in the midst of a five part analysis of the Texas textbook battle. In The Language Police (2004), Diane Ravitch argued that to avoid offending any conceivable sensibility, publishers produce absurd textbooks in which men cannot be depicted as larger than women, Asians cannot appear studious, and the elderly must not be ill or infirm. In a word: pablum. Zombie, however, sees the Texas smackdown as a significant rebellion against the Left's Gramscian "long march through the institutions" which has necessitated speech codes, historical revisionism, and dubious curriculum standards. One recalls the noxious National Standards for U.S. and World History exposed by Lynne Cheney here and National Council of the Teachers of English "standards" that include expectations such as "Students use spoken, written, and visual language to accomplish their own purposes . . . ." Oh, the rigor! American education may wear the face of Alfred E. Neuman, but he has a globalist, multiculturalist, social justice lovin' grin. Zombie lambasts both Right and Left in the Texas shoot-out but he also notes that
. . . activists [once] denounced nationwide educational standards which prevented teachers from presenting `alternative' facts and viewpoints. But now that the once-alternative progressive framework has become ascendent [sic] and dominates the education landscape, the left (or at least the Obama wing of the left) has flipped policies, and these days they insist on imposing nationwide educational standards to prevent any local schoolboards or states from sneaking off the political plantation and exposing students to conservative values.
Running through Friday; check it out.
In its eagerness to welcome students - that is, global citizens - to campus last week, the University of Missouri misspelled "Welcome" in Farsi and Arabic on a sign bordered by various national flags that included the word in English, Spanish, Malay, Hungarian. Whoops! That's awkward. Oh yeah, we're in Missouri, not the Dubai airport. After student center staff learned that some words had been misspelled, they blacked out the erroneous ones on the signs. Perhaps next time these citizen-of-the-world wannabes try to be cosmopolitan, they'll double check their Arabic dictionary first.

Education needs a manifesto for a new humanism; sadly, Martha Nussbaum's new book is not that manifesto. I had high hopes for Not for Profit but Dr. Nussbaum's argument quickly becomes a tangle of faulty logic and ideology and notably stale seventies feminism. Why is she still pumping the wells of female victimization (while referencing the female president of Harvard) and the plight of African American children who lack role models (while noting the African American President of the United States)? At one point, she praises Mr. Obama's personal values as developed by the progressive education she endorses. Then she indicts him for not supporting such education for others, raising the question of just what sort of person her recommended liberal education actually produces. When Nussbaum pleads for progressive schools (wherein teachers sagely guide students to discover and construct knowledge themselves), I think of Geoffrey Pyke [pictured] and his Malting House School (John Dewey meets William Golding). Although Dr. Nussbaum embraces Socratic self-examination, ideology blinds her to her own biases. She is pedantic when attacking pedantry, and she abhors "the dead hand of authority" yet repeatedly invokes the authority of Nobel Prize credentials. She advocates critical thinking to combat "demeaning stereotypes," then proceeds to stereotype men, women, whites, and Southerners. Masculinity comes off badly unless it is "maternal" which, she implies, is the true essence of human nature (making masculine behavior an aberration, less than human). In this book, women are saintly and victimized (unless they are named Margaret Thatcher). Nussbaum scorns the image of the self-reliant cowboy, then, on the next page, explains that every child must develop "less need to call on others." Decrying education that involves mere inculcation of facts (more Seventies flotsam), she later admits to the necessity for "a lot of factual knowledge." Worse, Dr. Nussbaum extols the individual but avoids any mention of the tribalizing effects of multiculturalism and its diminution of . . . the individual. Among several straw man arguments, she condemns "the facile equation of Islam with terrorism" without mentioning just who ever assumed that equivalence. The values she prizes are particularly Western, giving her desire to spread them globally a whiff of cultural imperialism. And Dr. Nussbaum recommends role-playing to develop sympathy for "the other." I met an eyewitness from one progressive school in Northern California that did just that: to develop sympathy for slaves on a ship, teachers locked students in a Quonset hut, chained to their desks surrounded by rotting fish. In fact, Dr. Nussbaum's book is a call not for a new humanism but for an old political correctness. She even warns that because artworks are so effective at creating empathy, teachers must exercise "careful selectivity" so that students do not read "defective forms of `literature'" which evoke unsocial feelings and "uneven sympathies." Yikes! Goodbye Salinger, Twain, Poe, O'Conner, Dostoyevsky, and Kafka. With friends like Dr. Nussbaum, liberal arts education doesn't need enemies.
Anyone who's followed Ashley Thorne's posts describing the recently discontinued La Raza/Chicano "studies" program in the Tucson public school sytem may well have experienced a sense of the surreal: how on earth did this balkanized, ideological bomb-throwing find its way into any classroom anywhere? Could anyone actually have been serious about a "curriculum" that could only engender ethnic chauvanism and antagonism toward non-hispanics, especially whites? Unfortunately, yes, since the Tucson program is simply an extension/imitation of what's been going on in academic precincts for quite some time now. Here you can easily find any number of undergraduate courses and "studies" programs devoted to fostering group identity, group chauvnism, group grievance, group entitlement, etc., etc. But as these two pieces (here and here) in the Chronicle of Higher Education illustrate, ethnic studies has apparently been catching some flak, even from within the academy, and the authors respectively write to mount a defense. Of course, they believe, lots of criticism predictably emanates from the incorrigible racism which perdures at all levels of American society, and which was recently made manifest in Arizona's new statute which effectively terminated the Tucson curriculum. But one of the authors interestingly argues that ethnic studies programs at the college level have been weakened by academic "liberals," who have used them as a means of celebrating "diversity' rather than generating political activism and group advocacy (as in "empowerment"). That, he concludes, is where ethnic studies needs to refocus, as the La Raza program was apparently doing so well. As the comments thread indicates, a number of academic observers with first-hand experience of similar programs also think that's exactly what's wrong with them.
This weekend, I graduated from the University of Missouri with a BA in political science. Walking across the stage to receive my diploma gave me a great feeling, particularly after being away from school for a few years. My experience this past year at a major state university instructed me not only in the nature of scholarship, but in those other things that have so little to do with, but so often accompany, the serious work of the academy. The commencement exercise featured the usual fanfare, a notable part of which has become the donning of specialized, non-academic apparel in addition to the traditional academic attire of such events. Students not only wear gown, cap and tassel, but many if not most black students also displayed brightly-colored, boldly-designed sashes, ribbons and mortar board decorations representing racially-defined organizations. The idea seems to be to celebrate the black experience of one's college years. Call me curmudgeonly, but I think this inappropriately draws attention away from those wearing distinctive apparel recognizing actual academic achievement. This strikes me as a presumptuous prerogative. The function of commencement is to confer an academic degree and mark a new start for graduates. The alternative attire not only ignores that purpose and diverts attention from its highest exemplars, but elevates racial identity to similar standing with the active, educational endeavors of the wearer. Academic officials would do well to curtail this "celebration of diversity," restoring dignity not only of ceremonial purpose, but to all its participants.
California State University at Chico's president, Paul Zingg, has just circulated a draft "diversity action plan for 2010-2015" titled To Form a More Inclusive Learning Community. He asks for feedback on the draft. NAS was happy to oblige:
Diversity came to have a precariously balanced double meaning. On one side, it evoked the genuine pleasure that Americans have in cultural variety and friendship. "Diversity" is the sweetness of knowing andliking people unlike yourself and discovering cultural variety. This aspect of diversity found its way into mainstream marketing and a thousand greeting cards, quilt displays, and children's TV programs. But this sweet side of diversity was never far away from a distinctly harsher reality: diversity was also based on stoking group identity by evoking (real or imaginary) grievance. Diversity had its own hierarchy of grievances. The group with the best grievance story is African Americans, who took pride of place in any scheme for distributing the compensatory rewards of diversity. But the grievance game had and still has lots of players. The currency is having a narrative of how "my group" suffered at the hands of an intolerant and oppressive society. Even if, as was often the case, an individual suffered no oppression at all, mere identification with a supposedly oppressed group would suffice. Diversity in this second sense is a doctrine of group grievance, not a recognition of the particularities of individuals. The two sides of diversity were always in tension. The first allows for individuality; the second demands conformity to a group identity. One result was a whole industry of individuals explaining themselves in terms of group identity. We saw the birth of diversity memoirs, diversity novels, diversity painting, and so on—all aimed at bridging this unbridgeable gap. How do you make sweetness and bitterness co-resident in the same person?
Katherine Kersten brings back an old topic on this blog: dispositions theory in education. There's a new design of teacher education at the University of Minnesota, she says:
The initiative is premised, in part, on the conviction that Minnesota teachers' lack of "cultural competence" contributes to the poor academic performance of the state's minority students. Last spring, it charged the task group with coming up with recommendations to change this. In January, planners will review the recommendations and decide how to proceed. The report advocates making race, class and gender politics the "overarching framework" for all teaching courses at the U. It calls for evaluating future teachers in both coursework and practice teaching based on their willingness to fall into ideological lockstep.
We were last down this road in 2005 during the KC Johnson controversy at Brooklyn College. Yet it continues unabated. At SCSU students in educational administration or in child and family studies have a form to fill out if they see a disposition that doesn't meet the professional standards. In the former field, if you "express an inability or unwillingness to work with some people" and "avoid collaboration", you have an area of need to work on. Teachers in graduate studies get courses in which their competencies are assessed to determine if they consider "multiple perspectives and willingness to challenge and analyze one's own perspectives given alternatives" and "respond to items regarding lens of social justice and dispositions." Johnson reported on this blog last month that these Minnesota criteria are being highlighted at exactly the moment NCATE, the teachers' accrediting body, is turning away from them. So maybe this won't last for much longer around here.
James Taranto has an excellent analysis of the controversy at NYU over Professor Tunku Varadarajan's column on the Fort Hood massacre. In "The 'Diversity' Sham," he notes NYU President John Sexton's timorous reply - "I found it offensive, too" - and points out the problem with 'diversity' in higher education:
This is how "diversity" works in practice: Intellectual contention is drowned out in a sea of emotion, much of it phony. Members of designated victim groups respond to a serious argument with "pain" and "shock" and accusations of "hate," and university administrators make a show of pretending to care.
Taranto's article comes at a good time, as hate studies is now somehow an academic discipline...
Over at NAS.org I have an article, "The Dark Side of Diversity," about how the diversity movement punishes even its supporters. Melissa Hart, writing for the Chronicle of Higher Education, told how she got lost in the diversity craze when she went to college at UC-Santa Cruz. She wrote:
I saw that the Vietnamese students' stories of emigrating to the United States, and the African students' tales of colorful culture back home, caused our professor to sit up straight and stroke his goatee with pleasure, while my own stories of innocent girls enlightened by wise transients on the Mall in downtown Santa Cruz caused him to invoke lethal adjectives such as "sentimental" and "pathetic." Being white and straight, I felt doubly cursed with a dearth of fascinating material.
It seems that Hart would realize that her dreams of multicultural mingling weren't coming true—and that it was the fault of multiculturalism itself. Yet she didn't get it. Instead, she bought into the doctrine even further, believing that she was indeed ordinary and invisible.
This week the Chronicle of Higher Education has a special section on "Diversity in Academe." One article featured there, "Diversity Takes a Hit During Tough Times," (subscription required) examines how the economic downturn has forced colleges to evaluate their priorities. Colleges are asking, "Is a large diversity program really necessary for our institution?" Richard Vedder, of the Center for College Affordability and Productivity, doesn't think so:
Richard K. Vedder, an economist at Ohio University who also directs the Center for College Affordability and Productivity, says it has become "faddish" for universities to boast about their commitment to minority students by pointing to the size of their diversity offices. "The question is, at a university with 20,000 students, can you do the job with three to five people, or do you really need 25 to 35?" he asks. Mr. Vedder sees most diversity jobs as a bull-market luxury—and believes they should be scaled back, along with intercollegiate athletics, to protect core teaching and research operations during hard times.
Nevertheless, universities are scrambling to salvage their diversity departments, however superfluous, and one professor says this is a time of testing: "The next few years will show whether a university's commitment to diversity is real or whether it's something that is done just for the rhetoric." Clearly this is the upside of the recession, giving colleges an opportunity to examine what's really important in higher education – not race, identity groups, or political correctness brownie points, but simply, higher education. As the dean of St. Lawrence U puts it, "If you don't have the basic curriculum, and you don't have the faculty and you're not paying them, then all of the other programs in the world don't matter one bit."
Those of us who have criticized the worst excrescences of political correctness in academia, such as the cult of cosmetic diversity that is oblivious to the benefits of intellectual diversity, have sometimes consoled ourselves by the thought that academia is just a self-contained entity, removed from the rest of American society by the sheer inanity of the ideas it generates. Once students have graduated, we have reassured ourselves, they will rejoin the mainstream and rid themselves of all the nonsense their professors have drilled into them. Those who believe this underestimate how easily academics can influence public policy even if only a small percentage of their students bring to the larger society the mostly left-wing ideology these students have absorbed. To my profound regret one such student has now ascended to the presidency. Barack Obama, in the domestic and foreign policies he has enunciated, has shown himself to have internalized, first in college and then in law school, many of the most pernicious postulates of "multiculturalism," which for many of its advocates is little more than ideological justification for trashing America – which is forever tainted by the original sins of slavery and racism - while either rationalizing or ignoring the far more egregious transgressions of America's enemies. Indeed, President Obama is our first multicultural president – with the adjective preceding the noun referring to what he thinks rather than his race, which should be irrelevant to any consideration of his policies. After receiving degrees from Columbia and Harvard, two citadels of multicultural education, our current president went on to even more radical post-graduate training from a "faculty" consisting of Mssrs. Wright, Ayers, Khalidi and Flueger. The result is an ethical universe in the White House in which Rush Limbaugh evokes more indignation and hostility than the genocidal anti-semitic mullahs in Iran. My point is not to bash President Obama. Rather it is that we in academia who share the operative principles of the National Association of Scholars should not stop fighting for these principles because of a psychologically comforting, but empirically groundless belief that academics who mindlessly mouth the platitudes of multiculturalism really have no influence outside the academy and for that reason can be dismissed as harmless cranks. Alas, they are much worse, and more dangerous, than that!
Surprise, surprise: multicultural dogma and concern for "the Other" have seeped from college campuses to the highest corridors of power (again).
To wit: The first veiled female appointee in the White House, Dalia Mogahed, member of the Presidential Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. Mogahed recently appeared on an Islamic television show in the UK touting her Gallup poll purporting to show that women are OK with sharia. Westerners just don't get it, she says:
"the majority of women around the world associate gender justice, or justice for women, with sharia compliance. Whereas only a small fraction associated oppression of women with compliance with the shari`ah."**

Imagine if a president appointed a strict Christian adviser who stated: "gender justice means obeying the Bible and church rulings on it." Can you imagine the uproar?
The key point: Christians are not "the Other." The dominant or majority group is held to a different standard. "Others" get a pass because "it's an 'Other thing,' you just wouldn't understand."
Where is Western-style feminism when you need it? We don't lack for Women's Studies Departments that issue secular fatwas when they feel the pea of oppression through their seats in the Ivory Tower. Surely, they have something to say about treatment of women in Muslim countries? Alas, we must seek out a Yemeni feminist to criticize the appointment of Dalia Mogahed.
I can hear the comebacks: feminist critics of sharia are a minority (the abolitionists were a minority too). Or: "those uppity women need to read Dalia's surveys and tighten their hijabs!"
**For Mogahed's puffed-up survey results, go to "Who Speaks for Islam?" For criticism of Gallup "spin" see Jihadwatch More to the point, read the conditions under which pollsters labor in Muslim countries, given the many restrictions on women and the watching eye of government and family. Do these restrictions lend themselves to representative opinion surveys?
Postscript: Apologies to Helen Reddy: "I am Woman" is the title of her best-selling song (1972). Reddy did not have sharia on her mind.

Video: Tim Burton and Rick Heinrichs' Vincent
This 6 minute short film directed by Tim Burton and narrated by Vincent Price tells the story of a young boy obsessed by gloomy fantasies. He lives in two worlds in ironical contrast. It's a perfect Halloween treat, rich of horror vocabulary and quotes by Edgar Allan Poe. We can listen to simple past tenses and gothic clichés. There are Spanish subtitles.

I left my coffee at home this morning. What a bummer.
But I get to have coffee with a friend tonight. And I'm pretty excited about that.
On Friday morning, I flew to Dallas. On Saturday night I flew back. Whirlwind trip, but it was great.
I love my family. They're great. I wish I got to see them more often. The picture above is of me and my lovely sisters.
Yesterday, I sat in a coffee shop, in a leather chair, in a sunshine-y corner, kicked my foot up and sipped on some coffee. I listened to some Dave Ramsey. And I knitted. And it was great.
I love countdowns. Currently, I have a countdown until doctor's appointment (2 days), countdown until I go to Milwaukee (4 days), and a countdown until Thanksgiving (4 weeks and some change).
I really love Thanksgiving. Maybe even more than Christmas.
If you blog, feel free to join in!

After a busy workweek, I sat down with Ryann DeWeese owner of A+ Pet Grooming II to learn more about her business. It was a brief telephone conversation, but I could tell by the tone of her voice, that Ryann's passion is her work.
Her mother, Kim Doll, aspired to be a veterinarian after graduating high school at 17. "My Aunt Rosetta, a dog breeder, suggested I learn to groom." Kim took her aunt's advice and paid someone $400 to teach her the trade. It didn't last long because she lost interest and started looking elsewhere for a job.
One day, she got a call from someone who had heard about her. "She heard I was a natural and had talent," Kim recalls. "She offered to pay me while she finished teaching me. The rest is history."
Kim started A+ Pet Grooming in 1991. Ryann was 5 at the time and it became a way of life for her. A+ Pet Grooming II in Hillview opened in 2004.
"We come highly recommended," she told me. They provide dog grooming only, no boarding.
I recently read about Norfolk Terriers whose double-coat requires hand stripping instead of clipping. When asked about this Ryann informed me, "Terriers like the Schnauzer and Norwich usually require it. It's a service we do not provide because it's usually very expensive and most people don't know to even ask for it."
Ryann has five employees at her store and nine employees at the other store. Her store draws customers from Fern Creek, Shepherdsville, and Mount Washington. The Okolona location attracts customers from Okolona, Downtown Louisville, and Southern Indiana.
Ryann has two dogs whose yard I keep clean. One is a poodle named Doodle. Ryann grooms her own dogs and from what I can tell, she does her craft very well. In fact, Ryann told me about Doodle's adventures in grooming competitions.
"In 2010, I went to a competition at PetQuest." PetQuest is a leading resource for groomers in the Midwest. They hold an annual competition. "I took a Standard Poodle and a Goldendoodle." She won 2nd and 4th place respectively.
One of the categories is in creative grooming. "It was a superhero theme," Ryann recounts. "I won that with my Standard Poodle Doodle. I dyed his hair and cut him into Captain America."
While she doesn't compete often, she has a desire to compete again in the future.
Ryann also gives back by doing work with the Humane Society and the Shamrock Foundation.
A+ Pet Grooming II in Hillview is located at 6234 N Preston Hwy and is open Monday from 10-5, Tuesday-Friday from 8:30-5, and Saturday from 8-5. A+ Pet Grooming in Okolona is located at 5906 Preston Hwy (across from Feeders Supply) and is open Monday-Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Call 502-957-2275 in Hillview or 502-964-6111 in Okolona to schedule your appointment.

Kinoshita Family History
14-Day Free Trial
Kinoshita Name Meaning
Japanese: meaning '(one who lives) under a tree'; the surname is found throughout Japan and the Ryukyu Islands. The most famous bearer of this name, Kinoshita Tokichi, used several names throughout his career and is best remembered as Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the brilliant general who unified Japan at the end of the 16th century. It is doubtful, however, that anyone named Kinoshita is his descendant.
