LB Jerome Baker

(When you watch the game film, are you surprised at what RB Frank Gore can still do?) – “Not at all. I trained with him a little bit this offseason. I’ve been seeing it this whole offseason. It’s definitely going to be a good one.”

(When you say you saw RB Frank Gore this offseason, the way he works out, the way he…?) – “The way he works out, the way he prepares, the way he knows each linebacker in the league and their strengths. He’s not only (good) talent-wise, but his mental game is also up to par. That alone, he might have gotten older, but his mind is still working at 110 percent. That’s really what separates him. He’s smart. He’s smarter than a lot of running backs that you have in the league.”

(Is that what attributes to what I believe is 4.4 yards per carry? RB Frank Gore is still grinding there.) – “Yeah. It’s film study for him. He knows that if you rock over the top too fast, he’s going to hit it right downhill and you’re going to be too late, so that’s four yards right there. He really understands football. Even when he was here last year, that’s all he talked about – how different linebackers moved and things like that. It’s not just talent for him. His mental game is up to par.”

(How has QB Josh Allen changed from what he did to you guys last year?) – “It’s amazing how much he’s developed. He stands in the pocket, he makes those tough throws. He’s always been a tough quarterback. He’s not the one that always just slides. He’ll duck his shoulder a little bit. It got him hurt a few times; but for him, he’s a tough, smart quarterback. You can tell this offseason he was ready to really improve and it’s definitely working out for him.”

(How big of a challenge is QB Josh Allen? He was a big challenge last year they ran for 200 yards. How much of a challenge is it now?) – ‘It’s no secret. Last year it was he might can run or whatever; but he can run. He can break your ankles. It’s just a credit to him, the athlete, the toughness he has. It’s definitely a credit to him.”

(You guys had a few games at home. Buffalo is not going to be an easy place to play. What do you like about going on the road, especially a place like that?) – “We’ve got to stick together. That’s really what it is. There is no pats on the back, there is no going home. It’s we’re out here all together and it’s really time to build as a team. Us being a young team is definitely going to help us.”
