  In tonight's episode of Disguised Coverage, we are going to dive into the
• 1:52
  schematics no, that's right, the schematics and structural components of Bill's versus Jags
• 1:57
  leading into week five as the two clash in London. Way in the back
• 2:01
  end of the episode, we're going to dive into some stock up and stock
• 2:04
  down coming out of the week four victory against the Miami Dolphins four the Buffalo
• 2:08
  Bills. We're gonna take a peek at some game tape for some structural pieces
• 2:13
  for the Bills, some individual player evaluation for the Bills, a lot of
• 2:15
  fun stuff, a couple of sad pieces or you know, stock down pieces
• 2:19
  to go through, but a lot of positivity coming out of that victory against
• 2:23
  the Miami Dolphins. But again that'll be on the back end of this episode.
• 2:28
  Leading in the forefront of this episode will be diving into the XS and
• 2:31
  os, structural components, schematic pieces of the Buffalo Bills versus the Jacksonville Jaguars.
• 2:38
  And to do that, I'm bringing back somebody who I had on the
• 2:40
  show last week who absolutely crushed it. As we broke down the schematics of
• 2:44
  Bills versus Dolphins, and I think I should have done my due diligence and
• 2:47
  gone back and looked at it. But I'm pretty confident this is the first
• 2:52
  ever repeat guests in a back to back setting, which I think it's a
• 2:57
  pretty tremendous thing. So, without further ado from nation, mister JP Acosta,
• 3:00
  you joined me last week, you crushed it, we vibe on Twitter.
• 3:05
  I DMG about this week you're joining me again. You know ball,
• 3:08
  You're fantastic, and the Jags are near, near and dear to your heart.
• 3:13
  So I thought this was just an absolute perfect time to invite you back.
• 3:15
  Thank you for taking the time to join me and welcome again, no
• 3:19
  problem, Thanks for having me on again. This is this feels like a
• 3:22
  perfect collision course. You know, we had we had to have this conversation
• 3:25
  again, especially about the Jaguars, A team that is correct, that near
• 3:29
  and beer to my heart, A team that I've loved since the moment I
• 3:32
  started watching footballs passed down to me for my dad, and now I kind
• 3:37
  of carry it on. So I'm excited. That's awesome. It's funny.
• 3:42
  Well, I always, I always there's two things I always remember about the
• 3:46
  Jags and they're both playoff related, like obviously the Bill is breaking the drought
• 3:50
  and then losing to the Blake Bortles Jags. But the big one that sticks
• 3:53
  with me and I always forget the year. I remember just being a little
• 3:57
  kid. I think it was like ninety six, ninety seven, like the
• 3:59
  Bill lose to the Natron means Jags in Buffalo, and it was still when
• 4:03
  like it was towards the tail end of like the Bills, like nineties like
• 4:06
  strong teams, and I remember going grocery shopping with my dad the morning of
• 4:13
  and it was just like a very light, carefree attitude in Buffalo, like
• 4:15
  everybody was like, at the Jags are like this new team, what is
• 4:18
  still the Bills? Everything's fine? And then I just remember what seemed like
• 4:23
  a five hundred pound running back with this all black visor and the black elbow
• 4:28
  paths and black gloves just running through like the Bills, and I just remember
• 4:32
  like being so shocked as a little kid. I was just like I've never
• 4:34
  even really heard of this team, and they beat the Bills like everything I
• 4:39
  knew was like the Bills are supposed to be great. And then a couple
• 4:42
  of years after that, music City miracle happened. So I always associate the
• 4:45
  Jags with like my descent into madness, as like a little kid in a
• 4:48
  Buffalo Bills fan. So anytime they play the Jags, and then of course,
• 4:51
  like they lose to the Urban Meyer Jags, it's just not like it's
• 4:56
  just not a good recipe for the Bills and the Jags usually when they meet.
• 4:59
  But I digress high level thoughts on this team. This is a team
• 5:02
  that ridiculous comeback last year in the playoffs against the Chargers, but kind of
• 5:09
  an overall comeback in the season that I was super pumped with. Early on,
• 5:14
  maybe like Week three or four, I shot my shot and I called
• 5:16
  the Jags win AFC South, And I was looking like a fool for a
• 5:19
  good portion of the year, and then they came on strong. Doug Peterson
• 5:23
  really took hold in this offense, Trevor Lawrence seemed to ascend. Then you
• 5:28
  know, they make the Calvin Ridley move. He comes in this year and
• 5:30
  it starts out really fun. Things have kind of petered off a little bit.
• 5:35
  We're going to talk about several of those pieces as we go forward in
• 5:38
  this episode. But high level thoughts like what's in your head when it comes
• 5:42
  to this Jags team. Again, this is a team that's near and dear
• 5:45
  to your heart, but with your knowledge of ball and how you break things
• 5:46
  down structurally and schematically, Like, what's going on with this Jags team?
• 5:49
  Do you feel like they're underachieving? Like? How disappointed are you? Or
• 5:54
  is it not really anything to worry about because we're four weeks in, like
• 5:57
  high level thoughts where you at with the Jags? This is the Jaguars team
• 6:00
  and I think is still trying to figure out what they want to do on
• 6:02
  offense. I think what they wanted to come into going into this season,
• 6:09
  they were planning on being more efficient in the red zone. They wanted to
• 6:13
  be it. I think I wrote about it last a couple weeks ago when
• 6:16
  I wrote about like what I thought was wrong with the Jaguars at the time.
• 6:20
  They were making apparisons to basketball. They are the DeMar derosive of the
• 6:25
  NFL. They're not gonna loved I loved this piece in your article Adults.
• 6:30
  They are gonna shoot the contested mid raise jumpers like they're gonna They're gonna want
• 6:33
  to live in the ten to fifteen middle of the field area. It's kind
• 6:38
  of like how the Cowboys were last year. This very brutally efficient offense that
• 6:43
  wants to run the ball. They want to use their robots superhuman quarterback to
• 6:47
  be more efficient in those areas, and hope was Calvin Ridley would help you
• 6:51
  get there. But I think a lot of things that have happened with this
• 6:56
  Jaguars offense is kind of the idea going in isn't working out early. Calvin
• 7:01
  Ridley had a great first game, and I think it kind of set expectations
• 7:04
  for him a little too high, considering he hasn't played football in two years.
• 7:10
  He looks rusty. That's really what it is. It's not just the
• 7:13
  drops, it's slipping on routes like that's kind of like, you know,
• 7:15
  like he slipped on a couple of routes in London and I was like,
• 7:18
  Oh, this this guy's still trying to figure out, Like hey, he's
• 7:21
  trying to get a sea leg thundering. As far as offensive line, you
• 7:26
  know, Cam Robinson was out for the first four weeks of the season,
• 7:29
  and it feels like they actually kind of miss him because it feels like the
• 7:33
  play calling is a reflection of not trusting your offensive line. What I've complained
• 7:40
  about the Jaguars a lot this season is the offense is very horizontal. When
• 7:43
  I talk about there being excuse me, them being brutally efficient. They're gonna
• 7:47
  poke and prod at you with screens, with quick game, with RPOs.
• 7:53
  They're gonna keep doing that over and over and over. Then you over commit
• 7:57
  and boom, they're hitting you with ten yard digs or level routes over the
• 8:01
  middle of the field. But you can't really get to that ten yards or
• 8:05
  the fifteen yards. You can't generate explosives because you can't trust offensive line enough
• 8:11
  to block for that long. I think Walker Little has played really well.
• 8:16
  Anton Harrison struggled early, but he's put up put together a really good last
• 8:20
  couple of weeks. Brandon Sheruff has been hurt, but he still played rather
• 8:24
  well. It's really just the center and the left guard. And when you
• 8:28
  knew left guard was going to be an issue coming into the season, they
• 8:31
  didn't address it because you know, the thought was Ben Bartch will play well.
• 8:35
  But even then Ben Bartch was coming off of major knee surgery, so
• 8:39
  they kind of knew going in like this team was going to be based on
• 8:43
  a lot of internal improvements. They didn't make a lot of big, splashy
• 8:48
  moves outside of the Calvin Ridley deal. They were hoping for a lot of
• 8:50
  internal improvements and really they kind of just kind of chill out. That's why
• 8:54
  I said at the end of the story, like they just need to relax,
• 8:58
  you know, they need to figure out, like, hey, let's
• 9:01
  play a little loose. Everybody's feeling like they're a little tight. You can
• 9:03
  tell because I think John Chipley, who writes your SI Jaguars and something I'm
• 9:09
  gonna get into and we talk about keys of the game. The Jaguars early
• 9:11
  down offense is among the fifteen best in the NFL. They're one of the
• 9:16
  ten best in success rate in the entire league. Then you get to late
• 9:22
  down offense and they become one of the worst teams in the league. I
• 9:26
  have some of those notes too. That's super funny. Yeah, their success
• 9:31
  rate goes from eighth on early downs to twenty eighth on late downs. It's
• 9:35
  really just a combination of preset pre step penalties and poor execution. They just
• 9:41
  gotta chill out, you know, you's got to relax sometimes. What was
• 9:46
  thought going into the season as kind of a week point, but now as
• 9:50
  a strength of this team as a defense. The defense has played phenomenal to
• 9:54
  start the season, and you can kind of boohoo it away, is like,
• 9:58
  oh, they played the Falcons and they played the Colts in Week one.
• 10:03
  The Chiefs only score fourteen points. Seventeen points on this team, Yeah,
• 10:05
  that deed. The defense kept it close. Yeah, fantastic performance.
• 10:11
  They're one of the best teams of defending the run in the entire league.
• 10:13
  They're one of the five best teams in defending the run the entire league.
• 10:18
  Again, they're counting a lot on internal improvement. It hasn't happened yet,
• 10:22
  but you know, this is a little season, so I feel like they'll
• 10:26
  ultimately be fine. But it is week five. You're starting to starting to
• 10:30
  run out of answers a little bit. Yeah, once you start to get
• 10:33
  that feel like that quarter mark, like guess when, well, I guess
• 10:35
  it's not really a true quartermark now since they're seventeen games, which I hate.
• 10:39
  I hate that there's no like even did not like divider piece, so
• 10:43
  there's no true quartermark or halfway mark and all that stuff. But yeah,
• 10:46
  once you get to like week four or five, whatever. Once you have
• 10:48
  those first four games under your belt. I feel like that's when, especially
• 10:52
  too, like that's usually how teams scout, like your first four, your
• 10:56
  last four, your most recent, you put them into that package, and
• 10:58
  I feel like that's when like a basis start to click. Especially is like
• 11:01
  the weather starts to turn and you get into October and I feel like people
• 11:05
  start to feel like football's really here. What the hell's wrong with my team?
• 11:07
  Like type thing, and it's very interesting to see, like what's happened
• 11:11
  with this team? And again, I'm pumped to have you on here.
• 11:13
  And I already like some of the things you mentioned, because I, you
• 11:16
  know, I was grinding some Jags tape in preparation for this week, but
• 11:18
  obviously I don't watch as much Jags tape as you do. But to hear
• 11:22
  you hit on some of the points that I had noted makes me think,
• 11:24
  like, Okay, these are significant pieces, even more so than I already
• 11:28
  thought. So I'm super pumped to get into it. Before we do that,
• 11:30
  I have to bring this up. Appreciate the comment from Amy. Amy
• 11:33
  says the tree looks great, great with the purple she gave a heart to
• 11:35
  my wife. She should appreciate you and yours. Anthony, excuse me for
• 11:37
  the off topic. Go bills, No, no, no, I greatly
• 11:39
  appreciate it, so JP. I keep a Christmas tree up all year around.
• 11:43
  Long story short, if you don't know. Since my wife and I've
• 11:46
  always been together, I've tried to keep the Christmas tree up in the living
• 11:50
  room for as long as possible. I've made it to March. Actually i've
• 11:52
  made it to April. Before then, I had an idea of decorated,
• 11:56
  leaving the tree up all year round, but decorating it with different garland ornaments
• 12:00
  based on the holiday. So like Easter, you do pastel garlands for like
• 12:03
  an Easter tree, Like March, you just do a whole bunch of green
• 12:05
  stuff. Saint Patty, stay Red, Valentine's Day, all that kind of
• 12:09
  stuff. I lost that battle, but you got me a little tree,
• 12:11
  and I keep it in the office, and I keep it up while year
• 12:13
  around in my background, and Amy here has been kind enough to notice the
• 12:16
  chain. So we went away from the blue and red and white garland.
• 12:18
  Now we got some purple and black and orange. For Halloween, we got
• 12:20
  some some little mini orange trees and a candy corn mini tree. There's a
• 12:24
  pumpkin up there. There's a pumpkin there. So I wanted to shout out
• 12:28
  at me for recognizing that most of the people who tune into the show,
• 12:30
  they don't care about football. It's to see what kind of background I got
• 12:33
  going on? Yeah, of course, yeah, yeah, see, you
• 12:35
  get it. That's why you're here. You just you and I get each
• 12:39
  other. I appreciate you as you can tell very very much a respect of
• 12:43
  backgrounds, very very cultivated. You know. I call this a little mirrid
• 12:48
  corner. So it's beautiful your background, Like the background is real, like
• 12:52
  you have to it tells like it gives some insight into who you are,
• 12:56
  and like, yeah, like I which graphic novels I have there? I've
• 12:58
  got more down there that like you can't see. And I always debate,
• 13:01
  like should I put some up or should I put because I'm waiting for somebody
• 13:03
  to like zoom in and be able to like pick it, like what novels
• 13:07
  I have on like my shelf, And I'm like, what should I put
• 13:09
  my favorite ones on the second shelf so they say more about me. It's
• 13:13
  not as stressful, but also awesome at the same time. But I digress.
• 13:16
  Are you ready break down schematic pieces? All right? You are the
• 13:20
  guest, much like you were last week. So without further ado, the
• 13:24
  floor is yours. Whatever you want to lead off with schematic components that will
• 13:28
  decide Bills versus Jags in Week five, JP, I passed the mike to
• 13:33
  you go and God speak. First thing that I think of if the Bills
• 13:37
  want to win this game is the defensive line has to once again play very
• 13:43
  good in the pass for us. Like I said at the front, the
• 13:46
  Jaguars offensive line is not played that great. You know, It's been kind
• 13:50
  of up and down. The offensive line has played played better last week than
• 13:54
  they did in previous weeks. But you're getting Cam Robinson back his first game
• 13:58
  office space. They're gonna be retooling the offensive line. I have no idea
• 14:03
  what's going to happen at right tackle. I don't know if they're gonna move
• 14:05
  Walker little to write. I don't know if they're gonna make Anton Harrison the
• 14:09
  swing tackle. I don't know if they might move from the guard or not.
• 14:11
  But it'd be weird to do that four weeks into the season. I
• 14:15
  know Doug Peterson mentioned, and it was very weird when he mentioned it at
• 14:18
  this point because it was like a couple of months before scouting had started for
• 14:24
  the NFL Draft. But they're just mentioned like I think it was like the
• 14:26
  exit interviews. They're like, yeah, Walker little can also play guard too,
• 14:31
  and it's like, hunh, that's weird. You didn't mention that at
• 14:33
  all before, but now you're mentioning it now. It's a very weird thing
• 14:37
  to me. But I'm not sure what's going to happen there, but that's
• 14:41
  a huge thing. I think the Buffalo defensive line dominated against the Dolphins on
• 14:48
  Sunday, not only in flustering Toua but making sure to win up front in
• 14:52
  the run game. The interior defensive line played great. One of the things
• 14:56
  that the Jaguars like to do is, like I said, they are very
• 15:00
  much a poke and prod offense. Instead of they're gonna try and hit you
• 15:03
  with thirty yard bombs or twenty yard plays consistently, they're gonna be like,
• 15:07
  Okay, you're gonna give us these six yard plays. We're gonna take the
• 15:11
  six yard plays. We're gonna hit you with a little five yard screen routes.
• 15:13
  We're gonna hit you with Evan Ingram on drag routes across the middle.
• 15:18
  It might not mean much in the moment, but then like we get into
• 15:22
  the later parts of the game and you see that little over route, you
• 15:26
  see a little drag route coming across, and then the corner is like driving
• 15:30
  down hard on it and boom, they're hitting you with an over So you
• 15:33
  have to get pressure up front. I think Trevor Lawrence has played great this
• 15:37
  year, but one of the things that he's I'm not gonna says he's regressed,
• 15:41
  but it hasn't been as good as last year in terms of he's getting
• 15:46
  through his progressions a lot quicker than he did last year. I think his
• 15:50
  internal clock was better last year than it was this year, and I think
• 15:54
  it's because of the pressure. But I think that's where you have to win
• 15:58
  up front. You gotta win up front. If you're the Bill's defensive line
• 16:02
  can force the Jaguars offense to constrict themselves. You know, like I said,
• 16:07
  they're very horizontal right now. You can't get any explosives because they don't
• 16:11
  trust the offensive line. If they can't generate the explosives, with the run
• 16:15
  game and running downhill and you're forces them to consistently throw screens. That's kind
• 16:22
  of how the Chiefs beat the Jaguars. They forced them into constricting themselves.
• 16:27
  They couldn't generate any plays down field and that forced them in the third and
• 16:32
  longs or like third and eight to tens, and on those third downs,
• 16:37
  you're basically saying like, hey, Trevor, go save us. And he
• 16:41
  has like he has the ability to do that, like the touchdown that Calvin
• 16:45
  Ridley. Trevor Lawrence has the ability to do that. You can't. You
• 16:48
  can't just say, oh, blitz them, he's gonna turn into a publican
• 16:51
  like, no, that's not what Trevor Lawrence. It's Trevor Lawrence can still
• 16:53
  do that. It's just you want to force him to be so much of
• 16:59
  a football role lot to be like, Okay, I see this, blitz,
• 17:02
  I'm gonna get the ball to what I know is the right option,
• 17:04
  and try and be like, Okay, we're gonna rally and tackle. You
• 17:07
  know, so defensive line and winning up front is going to be the biggest
• 17:11
  thing. How much you know, and if this is if you have this
• 17:15
  in a later point, feel free to tell me to shut up and you're
• 17:18
  gonna use it later. But how was surprised? Are you at some of
• 17:19
  the kind of self constriction for Jacksonville given given like how how quality Doug Peterson
• 17:26
  is as a schematic designer and play caller, Like how are are you?
• 17:30
  Are you surprised at all? Or are you still chalking it up to like
• 17:33
  relax and chill out type of thing, like is it? Is it anything
• 17:36
  that kind of hits you hard, like considering how low he turned them around
• 17:38
  last year and legitimately how good of an offensive mind he is. I'm not
• 17:41
  sure if I'm surprised in terms of the play calling, because as much as
• 17:48
  press Taylor's kind of caught the flat of Twitter and of Jacksonville Jaguars fans,
• 17:55
  I think he's done a fine job. I think the biggest thing is you
• 18:00
  there are certain parts of your playbook you cannot call if you can't block,
• 18:06
  Like there are certain things that you can't do if you can't win up front.
• 18:08
  This sounds like the Bills offense last year. This was literally a piece
• 18:11
  of be like, well I'll come they can't do this is like guys are
• 18:14
  coming open? But why the time they come open, Josh Allen's running for
• 18:17
  his life behind that offensive line. Yeah, it was a perfect example.
• 18:21
  During the game last week in London, Trevor Lawrence missed Kristen Kirk and I
• 18:25
  think it was like a little starter go in middle of the field in the
• 18:27
  red zone, and I think Daridlovsky said on the during the broadcast, Trevor
• 18:33
  has to hit that. The problem is pressure is immediately coming off the left
• 18:37
  side. Trevor's rolling to his right. Do you want him to throw that
• 18:41
  ball back across the middle of the field. That's really dumb and that's the
• 18:45
  something that Trevor Lawrence is going to do. So that's really just it's pressure.
• 18:52
  You know. I don't think it's as much play calling. I think
• 18:53
  the play calling has been weird in some areas in terms of sequencing and why
• 18:59
  would you call that here? But I think a lot of it is due
• 19:02
  to, you know, they don't believe in their ability to win up front,
• 19:07
  and I think you see a lot of their issues in the red zone
• 19:11
  come from they don't believe in their ability to block up front, and you
• 19:17
  know that's something that they thought they had addressed going into this season. That's
• 19:21
  why you go in draft Anton Harrison in the first round the draft Britain Strange
• 19:25
  to take things beyond day two. You want to be better in the short
• 19:29
  yardage and in those areas, and Bridge Strange has been great as a run
• 19:33
  blocker. It's just, you know, sometimes the offensive line, like when
• 19:40
  we say the game is won and loss in the trenches, it's not just
• 19:44
  oh, you you can't block, it's oh, we can't block. We
• 19:48
  can't call this certain play. We can't call these five step dropbacks because you
• 19:55
  won't have time to throw. You can't throw these long, developing routes to
• 19:57
  get explosive plays because you cannot block. That's a negative play waiting to happen.
• 20:03
  It seems so simplistic, But also I feel like people don't connect it
• 20:07
  enough of just the idea of like, in order to throw the ball downfield,
• 20:11
  you need to let the guys run down field, And in order to
• 20:15
  let the guys run down field, you have to either drop deeper or hold
• 20:18
  on to the ball longer. And you can't do those things if your offensive
• 20:21
  line can't protect. And it's just so funny to you say that, Like
• 20:22
  I not to always bring I feel like so many conversations on the show come
• 20:26
  back to Ken Dorsey and the Bill's offense. But that was one of my
• 20:30
  big things. Like last year there were all these like and again I think
• 20:33
  Dorsey deserved criticism at certain points, but there were just certain things like they
• 20:34
  could not get to because like Josh Allen doesn't have protection, Like guys are
• 20:38
  getting beat in a second and a half and he's running for his life and
• 20:42
  he's doing everything he can and he's avoiding sacks. He's not you know,
• 20:47
  those pressures aren't turning into sacks, and so people focus on the man like
• 20:51
  Josh Allen's like amazing, like he's a magician back there the pocket navigation.
• 20:55
  But within that amazingness from Josh Allen is like we are losing I think the
• 21:00
  bigger picture, which is like you can't get to certain playoffs, you can't
• 21:03
  get to certain concepts, you can't work certain areas of the field because your
• 21:06
  protection plan can't hold up up front, and yeah, that's severely limiting for
• 21:11
  an offense. I'm I'm in that area of you know, the conversation.
• 21:15
  From my first point here I labeled it broad term, like Sean McDermott versus
• 21:19
  the Jags offense. It could be Sean McDermott versus Doug Peterson. Howeverybody wants
• 21:22
  to label like, I don't care McDermott in this Bills defense, I mean,
• 21:26
  especially after their performance against Miami this year or last week. Just he's
• 21:32
  been absolutely rolling this year. Varying coverages. I mean, we talked about
• 21:36
  several of the pieces last week, but just him varying coverages, disguising coverages,
• 21:40
  link quick, nuge, nudge, simulated pressures, creeper pressures, five
• 21:44
  and six man pressures. And I also think, maybe even most importantly or
• 21:48
  more importantly, the defense is playing with the intensity and aggressiveness that mirrors Sean
• 21:53
  McDermott's personality and the defensive tree that he comes from in Philadelphia under Jim Johnson.
• 21:59
  And then you look at a lot of metrics. Bill's coverage unit their
• 22:03
  second in EPA per play allowed on defense at negative point three six. Negative
• 22:08
  for defense for those who don't know, is good. It means like on
• 22:11
  an average like play like you are taking away the offense's opportunity to score points.
• 22:15
  So their second second best in EPA per pass on defense. The Bills
• 22:21
  defense has the second lowest QB rating against their first in interceptions, they have
• 22:25
  almost triple the amount of interceptions as they do touchdowns allowed. Their third in
• 22:30
  pressure percentage at forty four point three percent, their first in sack percentage at
• 22:36
  twelve point two percent, and their third in stuffed percentage as a run defense
• 22:40
  group, stuffs are runs they go for zero or fewer yards. And then
• 22:42
  what you talked about it a little bit, you flip it to the other
• 22:45
  side of the ball. Here were the numbers that I had for like first
• 22:48
  in second down pieces versus third, because I was in watching the Jags.
• 22:52
  I was trying to like, and I don't have some like like some type
• 22:56
  of revolutionary or like a revelatory verbone ship, but I was trying to like
• 23:00
  figure out like the best word to describe the Jags offense so far this year,
• 23:03
  because I've watched several games live and then watched several games on tape,
• 23:07
  and I ended up like settling on sluggish or disjointed. And then I looked
• 23:11
  at the splits between first down and second down and third and disjoint, it
• 23:15
  just seemed even better. So per SIS, they're eleventh in total passing EPA
• 23:19
  on first and second down. They're twenty six in passing EPA on third down
• 23:26
  overall, twenty first and passing EPA. They're eleventh in positive play percentage on
• 23:32
  first and second down. They're twenty fifth on third downs, they're tied for
• 23:36
  fifth and drops. This other one was a big one. They're twenty fourth
• 23:40
  in EPA per target as a team, and for a team like I think
• 23:44
  Trevor Lawrence is really, really, really good. I expected a bigger recension
• 23:48
  for him this year. You add Calvin Ridley. I think it's shaking off
• 23:51
  the rush. Is a very fair point from you. But despite the fact
• 23:53
  that they paid a boatload of money and everybody laughed at him last year.
• 23:56
  I thought Kirk was a good fit. I thought Zay Jones was a good
• 23:59
  fit. I love what they did with Evan Ingram, where Doug Peterson finally
• 24:02
  used Evan Ingram correctly after him not being used correctly for all those years with
• 24:06
  the Giants. This is another piece two. So you mentioned this and I
• 24:08
  got the numbers for it. Their first in total attempted screens. Okay,
• 24:14
  but they're twenty second in EPA on screens, and again that's not even EPA
• 24:19
  per screen. That's total. So they have the volume there which can make
• 24:23
  it, I guess, depending on how you look at it easier or harder
• 24:27
  to have like a good amount of EPA. But they're twenty second in EPA
• 24:30
  on screens after having the most attempted and then, like you talked about it
• 24:36
  in your article which you already mentioned earlier the title, I can't say,
• 24:40
  what the what the F is wrong with the Jacksonville Jaguars. It's very good
• 24:42
  you mentioned the de Rosan piece. I love that snippet that you had there.
• 24:47
  But you know, in that article you talked about how the th like
• 24:51
  trying to create separation and make life easier for Trevor Lawrence and make things easier
• 24:56
  in that ten to fifteen yard range, like where they want to ex system.
• 25:00
  So when I was watching the deck connected with where I was walking on
• 25:02
  the tape because the intermediate bigger range, I was thinking ten to nineteen as
• 25:06
  PFF definds, it just seems like they struggled in that regard. So I
• 25:08
  looked at the numbers. Are Trevor Lawrence there this year on throws between ten
• 25:12
  and nineteen yards? He has a QB rating of sixty two point one.
• 25:17
  Last year he had a rating of ninety five. This year he's got a
• 25:21
  completion percentage of forty two point nine. Last year he had a completion percentage
• 25:25
  of sixty point nine. So just a vast difference in his efficiency there in
• 25:30
  the middle of the field, and his effectiveness tied in obviously to the structural
• 25:33
  piece in the offense. Like you talked about what is surprising, I guess
• 25:36
  maybe not surprising, but from a deep perspective, on throws of twenty or
• 25:40
  more, Lawrence is crushing it. He's eight of fifteen for two hundred and
• 25:42
  twenty five yards three touchdowns. He has an average depth a target of twenty
• 25:47
  seven point eight and a QB rating of one thirty eight point two, so
• 25:51
  he's been crushing it vertically. And then run game, Jags are thirty second
• 25:56
  so last an EPA per rush at negative point two, and they're twenty seventh
• 26:00
  in positive play percentage at thirty three percent. There were so many pieces last
• 26:03
  year when I watched a decent why of Jags tape in the off season,
• 26:07
  going through and like, there were so many little things like I enjoyed,
• 26:11
  like again, Doug Peterson and how we use like Evan Ingram, all the
• 26:15
  creative ways that they would get Jamal agg knew the ball and out of all
• 26:18
  these like random like personnel groupings and alignments, and the next thing, you
• 26:22
  know, like he's out the back door on and end around. You have
• 26:23
  no idea how we got the ball and there's not a defender within ten yards
• 26:26
  of him, and there's two offensive linemen and Evan Ingram like leading him out
• 26:30
  the front door, Trevor Lawrence just making like a boatload of throws, Like
• 26:34
  there were so many pieces that And I think it ties into your point as
• 26:37
  well, like they, you know, the Jags kind of banking on internal
• 26:42
  development and growth, and which is a fine philosophy, Like I think you
• 26:45
  have to do that if you want to grow as a team. There's only
• 26:48
  so many mercenaries you can bring in. You have to hope that the guys
• 26:52
  that you drafted are cultivated, that they take those jumps and they take those
• 26:56
  steps. And I think there was a fair expectation for this team. I
• 26:59
  think at least for me it was. And granted it still could come,
• 27:02
  but offensively right now, there's just a lot of inefficiency. There's a lot
• 27:04
  of sluggness, sluggishness and like a disjointed feel to a team that I guess,
• 27:11
  again, we're early, it's four weeks and still, but I just
• 27:14
  didn't expect that this kind of start for this team. I think, like
• 27:18
  I said, a lot of it is they's got to chill out. They
• 27:22
  really just have to relax. There's a lot of it's very constricted. Like
• 27:26
  I said, when you want to live in the ten to nineteen area,
• 27:32
  you cannot have wrong routes or slipping on routes or dropping passes like you didn't
• 27:37
  have that in any office. But when you want to be so efficient that
• 27:41
  you want to get there, like you want to live in those areas,
• 27:45
  if you don't get there on first and ten, now you're at second and
• 27:49
  long. Now you're at third and long, like that's that's creating these really
• 27:56
  bad situations. That's partially why the Jaguars are so bad on third down,
• 28:00
  because you have to you're shooting yourself in the foot. You can't have penalties
• 28:06
  on steck and down, and like five, you get a successful playoff first
• 28:10
  down that moves you to second and long. Now you shot yourself in the
• 28:14
  foot. I think in the in this piece that you mentioned there's a piece
• 28:18
  of film where like Trevor, Lawrence trips Travis Et and on like third and
• 28:21
  one, third and two, the play only goes for it. Yeah,
• 28:23
  I think it's a Nate Ticed clipp and he title he titled it The Aristocrats.
• 28:27
  Yeah, it's very much just a it's a little inside zone. They
• 28:30
  run it all the time, or like Trevor, it does a little inside
• 28:34
  zone for action and then he runs as well to give like a little the
• 28:38
  fake yep part of it. But he just trips it. Et just straight
• 28:44
  eats it. He just straight face play. And what the part that was
• 28:48
  kind of interesting to me was the inefficiency of the run game, which I
• 28:52
  thought has been really weird because watching the film, Travis et and has been
• 28:56
  awesome this year. The burst is fully back. I think the vision still
• 29:03
  comes and goes. But you get him into space, and that's where I
• 29:06
  think they really are. They really need to start doing that more. Get
• 29:08
  him into space, start getting him instead of running all these inside zone excuse
• 29:15
  me, which is fastly what the Doug Peterson offense is. But you get
• 29:21
  him running outside, get him a lane, and he's looked so good.
• 29:25
  He's looked so good in the passing game. I think take Bigsby has had
• 29:29
  some rookie moments. The pick in the Colts game where it things off his
• 29:34
  face mask and then the phone more for a touchdown where he just doesn't know
• 29:37
  what's going on. Those are very much rookie moments. But he's shown that
• 29:41
  he has his moments of like showing that contact balance that really made him a
• 29:47
  special back coming out of Auburn. But it's really just the offensive line has
• 29:51
  got to play better. That's really what ties this whole thing together. You're
• 29:55
  hoping that Cam Robinson comes back, but again, like I said, up
• 29:59
  for keys for the Bill, this is gonna be a new offensive line.
• 30:00
  Probably you're gonna be bringing in a left tackle that hasn't played football in since
• 30:07
  the preseason. I think. I don't think he played the Week three of
• 30:10
  the preseason. So it's gonna be it's gonna be interesting, But you have
• 30:14
  to win up front. Yeah, that's fair, and it's funny like so,
• 30:17
  I mean, so many games are decided in the trenches. And that
• 30:18
  was one of your first points last week for Bills Dolphins, was you know
• 30:21
  how, especially specifically the interior for the Bills and how they would show up,
• 30:25
  and they did. I love the point too, Like you're talking about
• 30:26
  like the inefficiency of the Jackson run game. I wasn't expecting that either.
• 30:30
  Like I just looked up their EPA per rush just to like see what it
• 30:33
  was, and I kept scrolling and saw that they were a thirty second and
• 30:37
  I was like, I literally thought I had a filter incorrect, And so
• 30:40
  I went back and checked everything and it came up again. And Yeah,
• 30:44
  I really like ETN, Like I know everybody's today's you know, mold and
• 30:48
  model of like not taking running backs in the first round, but I was
• 30:52
  okay with the type of electricity and juice that he has, Like I was
• 30:55
  fine with it towards like the later part of the first round. And yeah,
• 30:57
  you see him at times, and juice is so real. The burst
• 31:00
  is so real, and even with the lack of vision at times, he's
• 31:03
  got the speed that kind of like makes up for it. Almost kind of
• 31:07
  like how early Josh Allen when he wasn't throwing with anticipation and reading things,
• 31:11
  it was like, well, I have a laser fern arm, so I
• 31:12
  can be late and I'll just fire it in there and everything will be fine,
• 31:17
  Yeah, it wasn't it. I wasn't anticipating that poor of like an
• 31:18
  EPA per rush standpoint for them. But but again, I mean if it's
• 31:22
  going to if your offensive line play is poor overall, you're going to be
• 31:26
  in efficient no matter what. And then especially do I think that ties into
• 31:29
  like talking about the discrepancies that we're seeing for their passing attack. What's happening
• 31:33
  on third downs versus early downs. What happens on third downs, it's usually
• 31:36
  more of a known passing down, So you got defenders who are pinning their
• 31:38
  ears back. Your offensive line is put under more stress and they're not able
• 31:41
  to hand up in these more known rush scenarios, let alone what's happening in
• 31:45
  the runs. So very good point there overall, to start off, what
• 31:49
  is your second schematic component that you think will decide this game? My second
• 31:53
  schematic point is forcing the Jaguars defense to win without blitzing. I think the
• 32:01
  Jaguars defense, and it's been the entire mc caldwall thing. So little background
• 32:06
  of mc called well, he used to be the linebackers coach in Tampa Bay
• 32:08
  under top bowls. That should tell you everything you need up. This is
• 32:12
  exactly who the Jaguars want to be. Five man fronts, very big.
• 32:17
  That's the they are huge as heck up front. That's partially why they're so
• 32:22
  good against the run on on early downs. On that defense, they are
• 32:28
  so good against the run because they have guys like Folly Fatsakasi, Roy Robertson,
• 32:34
  Harris Josh Allen at Traval Walker are both menaces in the run game.
• 32:39
  I think Trayvon Walker's played phenomenal against the run this year. Yeah, He's
• 32:45
  he's fourth amongst one hundred and sixteen qualifying edges in stops and then he's fifteenth
• 32:49
  in stop percentage. And I mean you see the athleticism and like the burst
• 32:52
  and the physicality, like it works in speed to power at times in the
• 32:57
  pass rush, but it just pairs so well as a un deefender, like
• 33:00
  he can just compress and squeeze with so much force. He's a monster in
• 33:05
  the running game. And some of the stats on early down defense, their
• 33:08
  EPA per play is fifth in the NFL. That success rate is six in
• 33:14
  the NFL on early downs. Their rushing EPA is thirteenth, but their success
• 33:17
  rate is fifth in the NFL. They are very good at stopping the run
• 33:22
  and stopping early downs. That is what they are built up front to do.
• 33:27
  They want to win. They want to force you into third and longs
• 33:30
  where they can blitch you. And what you want to get them to do
• 33:36
  is go away from that. Don't let them blitch you. And this is
• 33:38
  something that you know having Josh Allen's going to help out with a lot because
• 33:42
  if you blitz them, he's going to find the area where you came from.
• 33:45
  But the biggest reason why you want to do that is outside of Josh
• 33:50
  Allen, the Jaguars have not found a good complementary pass rusher yet. Javon
• 33:55
  Walker is not there yet. Just it's not happen there right now. I
• 34:00
  think he's kind of being miscast. I don't think he is a edge rusher
• 34:06
  on pass downs. I think he is a early down edge defender. Then
• 34:09
  you kick him inside on passing downs. I think I was actually talking about
• 34:15
  this with some of my friends were coming with Jaguars. It's kind of Niko
• 34:17
  autry is I think it's good comp body style in terms of just mean as
• 34:23
  hell against the run, and then you use them as a dentter or a
• 34:28
  looper on pass rush games or inside you don't. You don't say, hey,
• 34:31
  Dniko Autry, go win one on one on the edge. You have
• 34:35
  another guy run the arc. Yeah, go bend the loop or something.
• 34:38
  No, but the Jaguars have not found that consistent pass rush threat next to
• 34:45
  Josh Allen yet, and it makes winning with four so much more difficult,
• 34:49
  you know. So, looking at some of the stats for sis, Jaguars
• 34:52
  are tenth in the NFL in pressure rate with only four defenders. But right
• 34:59
  now that's like, that's thirty seven per cent, you know. But when
• 35:04
  they blitz with five or at least five or more, the pressure rate goes
• 35:07
  up to forty one point seven percent, you know so, And this year
• 35:12
  the Jaguars blitz rate is twenty eight point nine percent, which is twelfth in
• 35:16
  the NFL. They want to show those. One of the things Mike cal
• 35:21
  Loo has done really well this year is blended the pressure packages with the coverage.
• 35:25
  We're not gonna run like traditional fire zones. They'll run inverted cover to
• 35:30
  a lot. I think they did it. They busted it on against the
• 35:35
  Texans on the bit on the first big CJ strat to taint del completion.
• 35:38
  But Ray Shawn Jenkins was supposed to be running the middle, being the middle
• 35:43
  runner, and he kind of just got lost in the sauce. But they
• 35:46
  will They will do that a lot. They will blitch you. They have
• 35:51
  the versatility up front to get in the weird packages. They'll have Devin Lloyd
• 35:54
  walked down on the edge. They can get into a lot of different things.
• 35:58
  You want to force them to get away from winning with pressure, winning
• 36:02
  with blitzes. Forced them to win with four. I love that point.
• 36:08
  So I was going to speak about this is one of my last points.
• 36:12
  Well, I guess my last point, but I'm gonna tie it now because
• 36:13
  it focuses right in you look at overall, like what the Jags have done
• 36:17
  up front, and so you see Josh Allen tied for first and sacks with
• 36:22
  six. He's had a tremendous year the Jags. So then you see that
• 36:27
  and you're like, well, they got like one of the league leaders in
• 36:29
  sacks, like so they must be a really good sex team. They have
• 36:31
  nine sacks. And this is per Pff who doesn't give half sex. So
• 36:35
  if you get a half sack, they upgrade you to like a full sack.
• 36:37
  They have nine team sacks, six of them have come from Josh Allen.
• 36:42
  It's very from a pass res perspective, and for Bills fans out there,
• 36:45
  it's eerily reminiscent of I think the Jags defensive line holistically is much better,
• 36:51
  So I don't want anybody to get this twisted. But from a pass
• 36:53
  rush perspective, it's eerily similar to what the Raiders had going on with Max
• 36:57
  Crosby a couple weeks ago, where you got to account for Crosby, you
• 37:00
  got to count for Josh Allen, and you can kind of make your piece
• 37:01
  with like everybody else, you don't have to worry about a run defense standpoint
• 37:05
  like you mentioned, a completely different aspect like this again, I mentioned the
• 37:07
  trade on Walker piece fourth amongst one hundred and sixteen qualifying edges and stops fifteenth
• 37:12
  and stop percentage. But he he's somebody who I mean, he goes first
• 37:16
  overall, and I think he's in that mold of you know, you bet
• 37:22
  on the traits and you look at this guy who is this ball of trades.
• 37:25
  The physicality, that juice, the athleticism, it's like, well,
• 37:28
  we can teach him moves and plan and see what we can stack and do,
• 37:30
  and it still just hasn't clicked for him yet. But he's such a
• 37:34
  plus piece as a run defender. And I love your idea of kicking him
• 37:37
  on the inside, you know, trying to use some of that juice and
• 37:39
  speed against like heavier dudes on the interior and seeing what he can do.
• 37:43
  But I think that speaks to the overall bigger picture, which is they still
• 37:47
  haven't found a complimentary piece to Josh Allen on that front, which is again
• 37:53
  like a legitimate shame because he is such a stud, so good, and
• 38:00
  it gets a shame because it's not like they haven't tried. You know,
• 38:05
  Caleban Tchison was supposed to be in the complimentary piece. He might not have
• 38:08
  a spot on the roster next year, and he's already been His snaps have
• 38:14
  already been cut into by Yasira Abdullah, who was a fifth round rookie.
• 38:17
  That tells you where That tells you where they're at right now from a past
• 38:21
  rest perspective, especially with the Wants Moot not being back yet. The Wants
• 38:25
  Moot last year was one of the team leaders and pressures, but he tores
• 38:30
  achilles before the playoffs started. He's not going to be back for a while,
• 38:34
  but that was a main source of their pressure off the edge. Excuse
• 38:39
  me, he allowed them to move Trayvon Walker on the inside. You know
• 38:44
  you have a guy like last year with Art and Keith who could win on
• 38:47
  the edge. You allow Trayvon Walker to move to the inside, now you
• 38:52
  get more versatile. One of the players I think about for this perfectly is
• 38:55
  the game win his trip sack against the Titans last year. Trayvon Walker was
• 39:00
  on the inside, Articie was on the outside and it was a little stunt
• 39:04
  and Rayshawn Jenkins comes off free because the attention Trayvon Walker creates because he just
• 39:08
  blows up the guard. He's perfect for like you want like spiking him inside,
• 39:13
  just let him cause chaos and let other dudes run free. He is
• 39:15
  a havoc maker. He is not a pass rush winner. He is a
• 39:21
  dentter, a looper. He is someone who's going to create pressure from inside.
• 39:25
  He might not get the sacks, but that's really where like you have
• 39:30
  to play them on the edge because you have nobody else to do that.
• 39:34
  So really what you want to do is you want to force them to win
• 39:37
  with four win with their will without blitzing. I don't think Devin Lloyd's gonna
• 39:44
  be in for this game. He fractures his thumb, he's gonna be I
• 39:46
  think he's gonna be missing the next two games. Boy. Yeah, Louil
• 39:50
  Kun very very good player, very underrated. I think they led. He
• 39:54
  led the NFL and tackles for the last two years, but people kind of
• 39:58
  see that as like empty tackles. Yes, that he's a he's capital g
• 40:01
  good like he makes a lot of makes a lot of run stops. He
• 40:06
  is. He's partially the reason why the Jaguars run defense is so good and
• 40:10
  why you can play Devin Lloyd and Chad Muma in so many different ways.
• 40:15
  Chad Muma is a whole lot better of a run defender than he is in
• 40:16
  coverage right now. So if the Bills want to attack that middle of the
• 40:21
  field, and speaking of the Jaguars, I think fourth and EPA puld play
• 40:24
  aloud over the middle of the field. They've been really good over there.
• 40:28
  So what you want to do is isolate Chad Muma, find him and win
• 40:35
  against him because all the other defenders have played very well this season. Andre
• 40:38
  Cisco's safety just been bawling. Yes, he was one of my favorite draft
• 40:45
  picks. I believe in he was one of my favorite urban draft picks.
• 40:47
  Actually, he tours ACL in college. He hasn't. Last year he started,
• 40:52
  he was a starter, but he didn't look fully back from that knee
• 40:55
  injury. Now he looks fully back and you can tell he has that range
• 41:00
  back a little bit that made him such a good player at college. I
• 41:04
  think he had like fifteen interceptions in three years of Syracuse. Yeah, wildly
• 41:07
  productive. Yeah, he's a ball So Tyson Campbell phenomenal. I think stefan
• 41:13
  Than is probably gonna se a lot of Tyson Campbell. He is. He
• 41:16
  got an All Pro vote last year. It's maybe super happy because he was
• 41:21
  awesome last year. I liked him at Georgia and I was like hoping,
• 41:23
  I didn't know. I wanted to see what his developmental like track and he
• 41:29
  went to the Jags and I was kind of like, ah, I don't
• 41:30
  know what this means like long term for him. And I've liked what I've
• 41:34
  seen this year, Like I love the All Pro piece that you mentioned.
• 41:36
  They're like, yeah, like I think that sweet for him. I liked
• 41:38
  him at Georgia. It's Good's cool to see him progressing and getting that recognition.
• 41:42
  Yeah, early in his rookie year, they tried to play the Jaguars
• 41:45
  tried to play a lot of cover three and like man, and that's not
• 41:50
  what he is. He is a corners cover two corner. He's gonna sit
• 41:54
  in that flat and he knows if you keep the ball in front of him.
• 41:59
  He's so instinct, so physical, he's going to make a play on
• 42:02
  the ball. Darius Williams has played well. I think the Texans game he
• 42:07
  had two big coverage bus but he's bounced back from that really well. What
• 42:12
  you want to do is force the Jaguars to win with their own You don't
• 42:16
  want them to blitz. They've shown they're creative enough in blitzing and they have
• 42:22
  the athletes to blitz from any and everywhere. Like I believe when you said
• 42:27
  they have nine team sacks, and six of them for Josh Allen, I
• 42:29
  think one of them is also Andre Cisco. Still, they will bring pressure
• 42:34
  with any and everybody. Yeah, they're just like the The productivity that they
• 42:40
  get from their blitz package piece is it's really exciting, especially in the day
• 42:45
  and age where like it can be so. I mean, I guess blitzing
• 42:47
  has always been like risk of war, but with the quarterbacks in the offenses
• 42:51
  you see nowadays like blitzing it's really it truly is like live or die by
• 42:54
  the blitz in like today's NFL, and see like how much they lean on
• 42:59
  it. When it works, it's tremendous. But against it, like a
• 43:01
  quarterback that plays well against it like Josh Allen and has the ability to like
• 43:06
  hit his keys and see what you can do. I love that piece of
• 43:07
  like making them have to win with work because I don't think they can win
• 43:09
  with four like I think, especially with what the Bills have done, like
• 43:14
  gives some chip help to Spencer Brown. If Allen lines up across from Spencer
• 43:17
  Brown like they've done, and then I think he's gonna be lined up over
• 43:21
  the right tackle the entire Okay, so there you go, Like if he
• 43:23
  does that, I think you know for Bills fans, tying that in similar
• 43:29
  game plan to what you saw against Max Max Crosby every time he lined up
• 43:32
  on Spencer Brown. Similar piece to actually really what these au against Washington the
• 43:36
  week after two with sweat out there and then they rotate Chase Young two,
• 43:39
  but mainly it was sweat over Spencer Brown from the majority of the game,
• 43:43
  like given chip help either right away, having Knocks or Cook or Murray or
• 43:46
  Harris lined up like hipped off of Spencer Brown, or having a running back
• 43:51
  chip out of the backfield, having you know, an in line tight end
• 43:52
  lined up next to Spencer Brown. So I imagine they'll give some help to
• 43:55
  Josh Allen, which also works for probab. They like to get in some
• 43:59
  of their concept pieces by having that chip help and then have them release into
• 44:02
  that underneath route. Sometimes Alan hits it right away because there's space, because
• 44:06
  that sail route of that intermediate route is pulling coverage with it, and he
• 44:09
  uses it. And it's even though it's like a you know, a delayed
• 44:13
  route and almost a release valve, he'll use it as like a primary at
• 44:15
  times, or Dorsey will, at least in terms of design and the offensive.
• 44:20
  I love this comment from Pete saying, yeah, Knox, will we
• 44:22
  right tackle two again? Yeah, that's basically what it is. Like They're
• 44:24
  gonna have to give them help against Allen, but then the rest of it.
• 44:28
  The Bill's aligne has been a strength this year. Like Wilkins got the
• 44:31
  better of o Cyrus Torrens on a couple reps, but torn It's really won
• 44:35
  the day against Miami. He was sitting there anchoring against Christian Wilkins in pass
• 44:38
  pro. He was burying him at times in the run. McGovern looked really
• 44:42
  good again. Zach Steelers, Zax Seiler. I think it's legitimately one of
• 44:44
  the most underrated players in the NFL. Dion Dawkins just it bears Bradley Chubb
• 44:51
  on with a cross shop and put him in the dirt a couple of times.
• 44:53
  He looks good in pass prole Mitch Morris is one of the best past
• 44:57
  protection centers in the NFL. Like the Bills, now, Jinks have a
• 45:00
  quality offensive line and they have more importantly to think they don't again if they
• 45:05
  have a top ten line, amazing. They just have stability, like they're
• 45:07
  not this roller coaster at that spot anymore. And against a team that is
• 45:12
  inconsistent upfront like the Jags, I think that's such a huge schematic piece because
• 45:15
  if the Jazz can get pressure with four, then they can play those numbers
• 45:17
  and coverage like they potentially want to do. But then the Bills have just
• 45:22
  done so well, like even against like two man games, against four man
• 45:24
  pressures, like they're just winning up front individually and schematically, like because of
• 45:30
  the additions of Torrents and McGovern, it's been a huge boom to this team.
• 45:34
  And then even though Spencer Brown is still that weakest link, because the
• 45:37
  other four are playing so well and playing consistently. I don't want to say
• 45:42
  it's easy, but it's it's an easy fix, Like, oh, we
• 45:44
  need to give Spencer Brown help. Okay, let's just add a chipper out
• 45:46
  there. Let's put the running back to his side and have them flow out
• 45:49
  and help out. And then it's such an advantage for Brown to play off
• 45:52
  of those alignments and off of that chip help. And again it's an easy
• 45:55
  way to kind of neutralize pendential. Josh Allen Peace, I like that.
• 46:00
  I like that. All Right, your last schematic component that will decide this
• 46:04
  game? What do you got? My last schematic component is win in late
• 46:09
  downs. And I know we've talked about it a lot. We've mentioned it
• 46:13
  a lot in this little segment we've been talking about the Jaguars on both sides
• 46:19
  of the ball are not very good on late downs. The Jaguars late down
• 46:22
  defense as good as I said they were on early downs, they go from
• 46:27
  I believe fifth on NPA per play on early downs to eighteenth on late downs.
• 46:32
  We've said with the Jaguars offense, they go from a top ten team
• 46:36
  and success rate to one of the bottom seven teams in success rate on late
• 46:40
  downs. That's where this game is going to be won, and it goes
• 46:45
  with some of the deficiencies that we talked about with the Jaguars. You know,
• 46:49
  with the Jaguars offense, they're so constricted up front, and they also
• 46:53
  want to live in those intermediate areas where every third down feels like a do
• 47:00
  war die, like you have to get this or this game is gonna spiral.
• 47:06
  Even against the Falcons, who have a very good defense, a very
• 47:08
  talented defense has made a lot of players early, it was up to Trevor
• 47:13
  Lawrence using his legs, which I think will be a very crucial part of
• 47:15
  this game. Trevor Lawrence is running ability because he started to do that a
• 47:20
  lot against the Falcons in London, where if it wasn't open, he's just
• 47:24
  gonna take off. And he's a good enough of an athlete like dudes the
• 47:28
  dude six six that can move. Yeah, he bust it off always the
• 47:30
  first run, like the twenty nine yards. Yeah. I was watching on
• 47:35
  the Funday Football cast and they gave him the little flames as he took off
• 47:37
  because he was scooping. Yeah, he's six six, but he's got long
• 47:39
  legs. He can he's like gliding up there. Like I think people underrate
• 47:44
  his athleticism a little bit because he's that big, but he's got long strides.
• 47:47
  He'll he'll make up that ground in a hurry and they'll pull. They'll
• 47:51
  let him do read options where he'll keep it in some short yardage situations.
• 47:55
  He is very much He's not a Lamar or Anthony Richardson threat with his legs,
• 48:01
  but he's athletic enough to make you pay. And then on the defensive
• 48:07
  side of the ball, we talked about a lot we talked about last week.
• 48:10
  Changing the picture up front. That's what the Jaguars wants you to want
• 48:14
  to do. On third downs, They're gonna show everybody. They're gonna bring
• 48:17
  people up. They're gonna bring Andre Sisko or Trey Hernon the nickel up to
• 48:22
  the line of scribbage and make you think that they are bringing people they want.
• 48:27
  They want you to waste blockers, They want you to waste receiving options
• 48:30
  thinking, oh, we have to block all these guys up front. So
• 48:35
  now you're turning a potential four main concept into two because they have everybody up
• 48:39
  front at the line of scrimmage. They want you to get in those situations
• 48:44
  where you're canceling them out yourself or you don't think they're coming, and then
• 48:49
  next thing you know, they're bringing all seven guys. So they want to
• 48:52
  win with bringing the blitz and bringing pressures on late downs. I think one
• 49:00
  of the things that will definitely be important is Josh Allen's ability to diagnose that
• 49:05
  that pressure as soon as he sees it, you know, not necessarily like
• 49:09
  oh going, you know creative Minecraft creation mode Josh Allen where he's like,
• 49:16
  oh, this is what's is coming, but I'm gonna like go and make
• 49:20
  some plays. Because the Jaguars have been the Jaguars have been good at forcing
• 49:24
  opponents in new turnovers, forcing them in the mistakes. They're always they've always
• 49:29
  been an opportunistic defense. But if you can force them into not being able
• 49:37
  to send those pressure looks on third downs, force them into third and fives.
• 49:40
  On defense, the third and six is where you can't you can't show
• 49:45
  blitz because we'll just hit you with five yards and it's the first down anyway.
• 49:49
  So winning on third down is really going to be the crucial point for
• 49:52
  the Bills on both sides of the ball. Oh. I love that piece,
• 49:55
  and it's just it's ironic that it ties into like a little bit of
• 49:59
  what I've liked that Sean McDermott has done for the Bills, but kind of
• 50:01
  like flipped it where like the Jags want to like they're showing those pressure looks,
• 50:07
  but kind of leaning more towards the pressure piece. Sean McDermott is more
• 50:09
  showing those pressure looks and sprinkling in just enough of them to make you have
• 50:15
  to honor it when really he just wants to drop out and rush for like,
• 50:17
  and even when he is bringing pressure, it's a simulated or a creeper,
• 50:22
  so it's still only a four man rush. But you get the opposite
• 50:23
  of that rip the Jags what like you said, because like they want to
• 50:27
  blitz like that is where they kind of want to live. And I also
• 50:30
  like that for both of these defenses because again, they do it differently,
• 50:34
  but I think it ties in to the larger schematic conversation that you have to
• 50:38
  have around defenses in today's NFL, which is like doing whatever you can to
• 50:43
  change the pre to post snap picture. It could be with your fronts and
• 50:45
  a pressure look, it could be with your coverages, as simple as you
• 50:50
  know, showing single high pre snap and then shift into too high post snap
• 50:52
  or vice versa, or showing a man alignment and then it's actually zone on
• 50:57
  the snap, Like whatever you can do to make the quarterback have to think
• 51:00
  a little bit and add beats to his drop back or make them hold on
• 51:04
  to the ball or confused protection. I also love, yeah, what you
• 51:07
  mentioned with called like trying to waste blockers. The Bills have been so good
• 51:12
  at that too, Like it's just funny how I'm not purposely trying to bring
• 51:15
  it back to the Bills, but it's just how I like it. The
• 51:16
  conversation like mirrors because McDermott's done that, Like you show seven at the line
• 51:21
  and the offense has to adjust and then you drop out and you rush for
• 51:23
  and it's like great, we just kept in our running back and tight end
• 51:25
  for no reason, and now they're getting out into the route distribution late and
• 51:29
  we're at an even bigger disadvantage. But to your point, you show those
• 51:34
  looks on a third and low medium or a third and short, you're almost
• 51:37
  at a disadvantage from the jump, because even if you drop out, it's
• 51:40
  going to be you have to drop out perfectly to get in those windows and
• 51:44
  get in those lanes, because you can just get gouged for a quick four
• 51:46
  or five, and somebody misses a tackle, it could turn even into an
• 51:50
  even bigger piece. I love that. I love that piece. That's very
• 51:53
  good. A lot of people in comments throwing up stuff for likes and things
• 51:57
  for the episode. I appreciate you, folks. If you are enjoying this
• 51:59
  content, watching live or watching later, please please, please and thank you
• 52:01
  drop Aleke on this video. It goes a sincerely long way towards helping myself
• 52:06
  and the entire team. It cover one to track and trend in front of
• 52:07
  more eyes and ears. Likes are the lifeblood of these streams and these algorithms,
• 52:12
  So if you would be so kind, please please, please and thank
• 52:14
  you drop Aleg on this video. I'm going to stick on that side of
• 52:17
  the ball in terms of Jags d versus the Bills offense. I got basically
• 52:22
  super niche with this one. How much middle of the field close coverages do
• 52:27
  the Jags play against the Buffalo Bills heading into this is my biggest gripe with
• 52:30
  SIS. Their tendency report page does not update until like Wednesday, but the
• 52:36
  regular like first page with the data does. It's super frustrating. But heading
• 52:38
  into this past weekend, they had a fifty one percent middle of the field
• 52:42
  close coverage rate, which was the ninth most for those playing at home.
• 52:45
  In case you don't know middle of the field close, it means you have
• 52:47
  a safety single high safety of the middle of the field that post safety,
• 52:52
  so your cover ones and your cover threes. So again, fifty one percent
• 52:57
  rate in those coverages ninth most. Heading into week four, they were also
• 53:01
  fourth in terms of single high shells pre snap at fifty five percent, and
• 53:07
  then in week four they had the seventh most middle of the field close coverage
• 53:09
  snaps. Again in week four through four games, the Jags have played the
• 53:15
  fifth most cover three. They have the third most middle of the field close
• 53:21
  snaps. It combined so cover three plus cover one, so they play a
• 53:23
  lot of single high. They'll show a pre snap and then they play a
• 53:27
  lot of it post snap. Traditionally, the Bills and Josh Allen have crushed
• 53:30
  those types of coverages and that's continued this year. So against those single high
• 53:34
  looks, those middle of the field close looks, Josh Allen, he's only
• 53:38
  twenty sixth out of thirty five qualifying qbs in attempts verse middle of the field
• 53:43
  close looks. He doesn't get a ton of them, but despite only being
• 53:46
  twenty six and attempts, he's fifth in EPA against those coverages. He's third
• 53:52
  in positive play percentage versus those coverages. He's fifth in QB rating versus those
• 53:58
  coverages, and he's first in on target percentage against those coverages. And that's
• 54:02
  the number of on target or catchable balls a quarterback throws and then divided by
• 54:07
  the number of pass atempts. Doesn't include spikes and throwaways and miscommunications, slips,
• 54:12
  embatted balls at the line. Teams that have traditionally gone single high against
• 54:15
  the Bills have lost big time. The biggest ones that should come to mind
• 54:19
  for everyone, not just Bills fans. It seems like Bill Belichick refuses to
• 54:22
  just not play single high looks against the Bills every year. It's like he's
• 54:25
  determined to make it work, and it's okay cool. Like here's Isaia McKenzie
• 54:30
  a couple of years ago on these deep crossers and overs. Okay cool,
• 54:32
  We're just going to send someone else on these overs and these crossers like they
• 54:36
  hit them just like they bleed it. And then now tying into potentially what
• 54:40
  the Bill has been doing with twelve personnel, if you get a team they
• 54:44
  wants to run these single high looks, maybe you start to see more seam
• 54:45
  balls to Dog Kinkaid or Dawson Knox. I also like your idea, you
• 54:50
  know, talking about potentially attacking Chad Muma and coverage. One of the pieces
• 54:53
  that I tied in towards the back end of last week was the Bills trying
• 54:58
  to use twelve personnel to isolate Dalton Kincaid on Jerome Baker, who was the
• 55:02
  weaker and weak overall coverage linebacker for Miami. We saw that several reps early
• 55:07
  on where Kinkaid is just basically in a one on one scenario against Jerome Baker
• 55:13
  making a miss on option routes he hits him with a pivot route and it
• 55:15
  pops outside and as he catches it, he plants and goes back inside as
• 55:19
  Baker's trying to flow over the top, and he just gets kind of putting
• 55:22
  like a blender a little bit. So, you know, trying to isolate
• 55:24
  Kincaid in those situations as well against that type of look. And then also
• 55:28
  you push it vertical with Kincaid and Dawson Knoxell. Maybe this is another week
• 55:31
  where don't Kinkaide starts to shine a little more and Bill's fans can stop being
• 55:37
  upset that they took him instead of Sam Laporta, because Sam Laporta had like
• 55:40
  five catches one week and everybody's super pissed. So I think that piece like
• 55:46
  you really don't see it a ton again, except really for New England.
• 55:51
  There are certain teams like the Raiders, like we'll play there. They're single
• 55:53
  high pieces because they are the Raiders. I'm interested to see if the Cowboys
• 55:57
  really stick the single high or how much man they play, especially cover one
• 56:00
  like against the Bills. With the Bills the Cowboys played later this year,
• 56:02
  but in today's NFL, like it's so hard to live in a single high
• 56:07
  world, against these explosive offenses and just get really in general, because teams
• 56:12
  know how to carve up single high because it was like the i don't know,
• 56:15
  like the new age thing for so long with the Legion of Boom.
• 56:19
  Everybody and their mother played it, and then every offense and their mother realized,
• 56:22
  Oh, this is how we beat it, and that's why everybody had
• 56:24
  to switch like the fang Geo two high type of scheme and system. So
• 56:28
  to see how much the Jags lean into that world and kind of how that's
• 56:30
  what they've been statistically on the year, I want very interested to see how
• 56:35
  much they played that against the Bills, who have again historically with Josh Allen,
• 56:38
  carved it up and again this year carving up teams again. They're playing
• 56:42
  with single high. Yeah, and that's a really good point, especially with
• 56:45
  how that coverage ties to the front that Jaguars play. Jaguars love to live
• 56:49
  in base. They want to they want to be able to play with all
• 56:52
  three of those big d linemen and all four of those linebackers on the field
• 56:57
  at the same time. Javal walker Josh Allen him calling the linebackers for the
• 57:00
  sake of this in their base defense in their base personnel according to pro According
• 57:05
  to SIS, there are only they're only I believe ten teams in the NFL
• 57:13
  that have played at least twenty snaps or more in there with three d linemen
• 57:16
  four linebackers on the field. Jaguars are first in EPA allowed per play in
• 57:22
  that base defense per play negative point three eights. Wow. There really good.
• 57:28
  They got really good at fitting the past out of their base defense.
• 57:32
  Combine that with their ability to stop the run out of that base defense,
• 57:37
  you have you have a conundrum there. They've gotten really good at that.
• 57:42
  I think where you want to attack them is like I said, when you
• 57:45
  when you get them in those nickel defenses where they take a defensive linemen off
• 57:49
  the field, where you have when you can force them to win with four
• 57:52
  and that's where they kind of play a lot of that more quarters that play
• 57:57
  a lot more cover too. They'll spit. They a lot of post snap
• 58:00
  rotation. Like you said, they will show too high and then come down
• 58:06
  with Cover three or Cover one, but they'll also go the other way.
• 58:08
  They'll show one and then they'll bail into inverted Cover two, or they'll spin
• 58:15
  a safety back. You'll see a lot of ray Sean Jenkins fat haul and
• 58:19
  ass to the deep path because they got him doing like deep path, they
• 58:24
  got him at the middle runner sometimes. But that's really what Mike call what
• 58:29
  wants to do. Like I said, he comes from the Top Bowls school
• 58:31
  of defense, where they're gonna play big, heavy upfront, and they're gonna
• 58:36
  show you they're gonna throw everything in the kitchen sink at and I think the
• 58:40
  Bills of Fantastic be prepared for them throwing so many different looks at them,
• 58:46
  not just with what they're gonna show on the back end, but up front
• 58:51
  as well. You know, they can get into so many different looks.
• 58:53
  They'll have linebackers walk down on the edges and Travron walker on the inside,
• 58:58
  but the Travron will drop in the coverage and they'll bring a nickel somewhere.
• 59:02
  They are really good at mixing up those pressure looks. And I wonder how
• 59:07
  they're going to marry that too, playing all that single high. I'm not
• 59:10
  sure if they play a lot of single high against this team, I don't
• 59:15
  think you can. I think this is very much if there's any mic called
• 59:21
  wall game that I kind of compare it to it's kind of like, oh,
• 59:27
  I think it's kind of like the Chargers game last year late late in
• 59:30
  the second half. You cannot play single high. You cannot do that.
• 59:37
  You gotta play cover two, you gotta play quarters, and you gotta try
• 59:40
  and win up front. You know. I think they've been so good,
• 59:45
  like I said, at defending the pass out of base, So I wonder
• 59:47
  if they just stick with that the entire game, just rock and roll with
• 59:52
  it, you know, fair like, especially if it's like worked for them,
• 59:54
  Like at a certain point, it's kind of just like maybe you don't
• 59:58
  try to get too cute and you dance with the girl that brought you,
• 1:00:01
  and you you know, we're rolling with this and let's roll with it.
• 1:00:04
  And I think that also ties into like I was a debated making this one
• 1:00:07
  of my points because I did it last week, but I'm kind of gonna
• 1:00:09
  keep doing it every week, like the whole Josh Handlin Versus himself type thing.
• 1:00:15
  All it takes is if you're showing these like looks and if you're creative
• 1:00:17
  with your pressure or creative with how many like post nap rotations you have,
• 1:00:22
  right, all it takes is like one of them to click. Maybe the
• 1:00:25
  offensive line reads you know, the pressure package wrong, or the QUB doesn't
• 1:00:29
  identify who the you know the freeman is or who he is responsible for,
• 1:00:31
  or you know, again, any type of anything that can happen with the
• 1:00:35
  pressure look versus what happens on the snap. Or again you're running inverted too
• 1:00:39
  and you misread it and you think you've got something in the middle of the
• 1:00:42
  field psyched like Rayshan Jakins is there like running that pole and he's got it,
• 1:00:45
  and you get picked something like that that could potentially happen early on just
• 1:00:51
  because again you got full it happens if some if the team is really committed
• 1:00:54
  to change in the pre to post nap picture, at some point you're gonna
• 1:00:58
  guess wrong unless you're just like a superhuman like computer brain, which is possible
• 1:01:01
  with a lot of the qps we got. But I always think of,
• 1:01:05
  Okay, I don't know, maybe they get to Allen early with some kind
• 1:01:07
  of pressure and you get a strip sack, or you know, Josh Allen
• 1:01:10
  for the Jags causes havoc like he did the last time Bills and Jags play
• 1:01:14
  again. No Duan Smoot, who had a phenomenal game for them in twenty
• 1:01:16
  twenty one against the Bills. But somebody just comes screaming off the edge free,
• 1:01:22
  or somebody wins inside quickly and there's a strip sack and a fumble and
• 1:01:25
  Jags ball, or again Alan reads something or misdiagnoses or thinks, oh,
• 1:01:30
  man, this is man and psych you know that corner. He's not baling
• 1:01:32
  like and it's not man like. He's actually a cloud corner. And oh,
• 1:01:36
  you thought you were hitting Kincaid on that option route outside. Nope,
• 1:01:38
  Campbell was sitting and he read it, he jumped it, he got picked.
• 1:01:42
  And then I wonder, okay, like do you see settle and get
• 1:01:45
  back or do we start to see a similar conversation that I'm going to keep
• 1:01:49
  bringing it back, Like does he stack mistakes because he's pissed in himself,
• 1:01:52
  or like, man, I can't believe I didn't recognize that pressure. I
• 1:01:55
  can't believe I didn't see that safety spin. That's so stupid. Let me
• 1:01:58
  go out the next play and I need an ad Are touchdown on this next
• 1:02:00
  play. And then he makes a poor decision on third down and it's an
• 1:02:04
  interception or something like that, like with teams who will force you to diagnose
• 1:02:10
  and process accurately pre to post snap. Again, this isn't a knock on
• 1:02:15
  Allen or really anybody. At a certain point, it's bound to happen like
• 1:02:19
  you're going to diagnose incorrectly, especially if you throw that type of volume and
• 1:02:22
  change in the picture. And if that happens early on, it's different.
• 1:02:27
  If it happens late and the Bills are up twenty four to three or something
• 1:02:30
  like that, it's like, oh okay. But if it happens early,
• 1:02:30
  say it happens on the first drive, or the Jags don't go down and
• 1:02:35
  get three on the first drive and then Bills are trying to score and Alan
• 1:02:37
  turns it over something. If it happens early, I think there's always that
• 1:02:40
  chance that Alan gets pissed at himself and can stack those mistakes and things can
• 1:02:45
  snowball a little bit and against the team trying to change the picture that much
• 1:02:50
  like the Jags do. I think there's like a fair shot from an odds
• 1:02:52
  perspective of maybe the old line diagnosis wrong, Josh Alan diagnos is wrong,
• 1:02:57
  or you know, a receiver misses their key because as they thought. You
• 1:03:00
  know, someone wasn't blitzing, and they did, and Alan thought they would
• 1:03:02
  read it and they didn't. Because this offense, you know, receiver to
• 1:03:06
  quarterback relationship, a lot of it still is based on like that post snap
• 1:03:09
  reading and adjusting of coverage and you and Josh Allen having to see the same
• 1:03:13
  thing at the same time. So I think that could be a real interesting
• 1:03:15
  piece. If they can turn the ball over, turn Alan over early,
• 1:03:19
  and then build off that success and get into his head a little bit,
• 1:03:22
  that could be a potential recipe for sec success. And then that ties into
• 1:03:27
  their base package looks and or their pressure looks, because now when they start
• 1:03:30
  showing it, then it kind of flicks into Alan's brain a little more,
• 1:03:34
  and I think kind of pokes him and prods him, and then maybe you
• 1:03:37
  start to increase that snowball in effect a little bit. If you're the Jags.
• 1:03:39
  Yeah, And I think honestly, it's kind of the best way to
• 1:03:43
  force Josh Allen into mistakes. It's not showing one coverage in the back end
• 1:03:49
  and then bringing someone up. It's no show a blitzer coming and making you
• 1:03:53
  like, oh shit, there's somebody right there. I gotta think quicker or
• 1:03:58
  I gotta go now, he's starting to think too much. Then the brain
• 1:04:00
  starts going haywire and it goes, screw it. We're going minecraft creative mode
• 1:04:05
  when you don't really have to, and sometimes in creative mode you end up
• 1:04:09
  creating a bomb and it blows up and nothing ever works. So that's what
• 1:04:14
  the Jaguars want to do. I think they want to force him. It's
• 1:04:16
  like a conversation we had last week. Force the issue up front. It's
• 1:04:21
  not a this defense is not a react attack. They are a we want
• 1:04:28
  to be in your face upfront. We want you to We want to dictate
• 1:04:32
  how this game goes up front. They've shown it through all their personnel decisions,
• 1:04:36
  especially upfront against the run. They want to dictate how this game goes
• 1:04:41
  from the jump. One of the things I stood at about the Bills game
• 1:04:45
  last week against the Dolphins was how much the Bills were effective in the run
• 1:04:47
  game and running duo, running those inside zone. The offensive line was really
• 1:04:53
  good. That's something that I think is going to be crucial in this game,
• 1:04:57
  because again, Jaguars are really really good against the run. They are
• 1:05:01
  built to stop the run. They want to play in basse, so they
• 1:05:04
  can stop the run. So if you can't get that going early, does
• 1:05:10
  that get into Josh Allen's head a little bit of be like, oh,
• 1:05:13
  I have to do everything to keep this offensive flow. And then with him
• 1:05:16
  thinking he has to do everything, he's gonna make a mistake because we've seen
• 1:05:20
  this, we've seen this before. Yeah, that's I think that's kind of
• 1:05:25
  like the and it doesn't happen often. And that's why Josh Allen is one
• 1:05:30
  of the best quarterbacks in the league and is like not even best quarterbacks,
• 1:05:32
  one of the best players in the NFL at this point, just he's so
• 1:05:38
  deadly and when he goes into that, like I always say, chaos creation,
• 1:05:41
  I like the I like the Minecraft creation mode from you like even though
• 1:05:45
  it is risk reward, usually odds are it ends up being more reward than
• 1:05:48
  risk. But that's how you beat him, Like you force him. You
• 1:05:53
  either force the offense schematically to get all put on him, or you force
• 1:05:57
  him to think that it all has to get put on him, and then
• 1:06:00
  you hope those mistakes come. And part of the reason that hasn't happened recently,
• 1:06:03
  I think I think Josh has made a concerted effort there's been a lot
• 1:06:06
  of schematic pieces from Ken Dorsey, and I think the other piece is,
• 1:06:12
  you know, the run game, like you said, has been successful.
• 1:06:14
  You know, the Bill's run game on this year has been right now,
• 1:06:16
  they're second in EPA per attempt and they are also second in total EPA on
• 1:06:21
  the ground, James Cook second in rushing yards going into the week last last
• 1:06:26
  week or going into the year last week, only behind Christian McCaffrey. At
• 1:06:29
  a bunch of really good stats and advanced metric pieces as well that I can't
• 1:06:31
  remember off the top of my head. But this run game has been very
• 1:06:33
  successful. And you go up against the Jags team that is good at stopping
• 1:06:36
  the run and maybe tries to force everything onto Josh Allen's plate, because that's
• 1:06:41
  I think that's really how you have to beat the Bills. And then again
• 1:06:44
  it's still just kind of playing the odds because you could force it all onto
• 1:06:46
  Josh Allen and then it's like, well we forced it onto him and he
• 1:06:49
  threw for four hundred yards and four touchdowns and we lost. You know,
• 1:06:53
  you're just trying to he You're just trying to hope that you can force it
• 1:06:56
  all on him. And then hope that that you know, that hide side
• 1:06:59
  of him comes out, that evil side or sugar high or whatever. People
• 1:07:01
  like the labeled as the Week one you know, Jets Josh Allen or you
• 1:07:05
  know, maybe he stays super efficient and explosive like he did against Miami and
• 1:07:10
  you try to put stuff onto his shoulders and you see what happened. But
• 1:07:13
  that's been a recipe. And again, if you can get Jags Josh Allen
• 1:07:15
  to do some pieces like or do some things up front, it would be
• 1:07:18
  very interesting schematically. I'm excited, like for you know, Trevor Lawrence is
• 1:07:23
  a really good quarterback. I know he's underwhelmed to start the year, but
• 1:07:25
  you've got a quality like you've got quality offensive minds on that side of the
• 1:07:28
  ball. You've got some good pieces. I'm very interested to see what the
• 1:07:30
  offensive line looks like for the Jags with Cam Robinson coming back, and then
• 1:07:34
  you had defensively like that. That's really where it is. Like I think
• 1:07:36
  we talked last week here about how interesting the Dolphins offense first Bill's defense was
• 1:07:43
  schematically, I think it's flipped, you know for this week Jags defense,
• 1:07:45
  Bill's offense and how they match up what the Jags can do to try and
• 1:07:48
  attack Josh Allen. Can they make the Bill's offense one dimensional? Because no
• 1:07:51
  one really has Cook has been effective, Murray's been effective, Harris has been
• 1:07:55
  effective, and then Allen has just been an absolute monster after week one,
• 1:08:00
  and you know, can you make him in efficient or does he continue to
• 1:08:01
  gouge you. I'm very excited for this game, and I was very excited
• 1:08:05
  to be able to bring you back to break this down and talk about these
• 1:08:09
  pieces. And you're truly fantastic. You crushed it last week, you crushed
• 1:08:13
  it again this week. Yeah, you deserve it. I appreciate you taking
• 1:08:15
  the time and just in case people didn't watch last week or maybe didn't pay
• 1:08:17
  attention, when you plug your stuff, let everybody know who you are,
• 1:08:20
  where they can find you, what you do, all that kind of stuff.
• 1:08:23
  I'm going to remove the banner so they can see your Twitter handle.
• 1:08:26
  The floor is yours, do as you wish? Awesome. Yeah, So
• 1:08:29
  of course I'm the NFL College Football I just say football writer espionation. Wherever
• 1:08:33
  there's football being played, I'm probably there tweeting about it. One of my
• 1:08:38
  favorite things I do every week is on Friday called established the fun call?
• 1:08:42
  Am I right about things that I find fun about football? Every week?
• 1:08:45
  It's gonna be fun this week. Gotta I'm incorporating more college football. Of
• 1:08:49
  course, NFL is going to be in there a lot. There's a lot
• 1:08:54
  of fun stuff going on in football, so make sure to follow along,
• 1:08:57
  follow along with what all we do with espionation. But yeah, it's gonna
• 1:09:00
  be It's gonna be a fun game. I'm super excited. I think this
• 1:09:03
  is a very I think it's a Jags team that's been like kind of up
• 1:09:09
  and down, but when they play to their potential, like this is a
• 1:09:13
  team that is scary and on the offensive side of the ball, you have
• 1:09:16
  a quarterback who can win you this game. I think one of the points
• 1:09:20
  that we didn't talk about a little bit was forcing Trevor Lawrence and forcing the
• 1:09:26
  Jaguars to be explosive when they don't want to. But of course, like
• 1:09:30
  you said, Trevor Lawrence is so good this year throwing the ball deep.
• 1:09:33
  A lot of that is coming out of structure on broken plays. He is
• 1:09:39
  very much a football robot, but he when he goes into that creative mode,
• 1:09:44
  he can hurt you. So force them to play that in structure,
• 1:09:48
  forcing to be explosive in structure, and see what happens, because it's gonna
• 1:09:53
  be a really interesting game. I think this Bill's defense is really disciplined.
• 1:09:57
  I think they're not gonna they're not gonna fall as much for the bait and
• 1:10:00
  switch of the Jaguars offense, as like they're gonna keep like I said,
• 1:10:04
  they're gonna keep poking you, like we talk about last week. They're gonna
• 1:10:08
  they're gonna throw a lot of jabs. They are a jab. They're a
• 1:10:11
  jab puncher. As if we're compared to the like box May. They will
• 1:10:15
  throw that jab. They will. They're willing to throw the jab through the
• 1:10:18
  first three rounds of the game just to get to to that one haymaker in
• 1:10:23
  the fourth. They will get to to that one point. But this Bill's
• 1:10:27
  defense is so good at defending the jabs that you don't you really, you
• 1:10:31
  can't run that hay maker because they're ready for it. That's fair. And
• 1:10:35
  I like that a lot like the haymaker and jab analogy. And I wonder
• 1:10:40
  too, like does does the haymaker come from? Yeah, something off script
• 1:10:44
  from Trevor Lawrence. Does he make a free runner miss or like they did,
• 1:10:47
  like you did in the touchdown really on Sunday, Like he makes that
• 1:10:50
  free runner, mister the Falcons, just a quick little you know, change
• 1:10:54
  with the shoulders, steps up, boom, like explosive downfield. Like I
• 1:10:57
  wonder how much his athleticism. I think it's such a I shouldn't say like
• 1:11:00
  a wild card because he is athletic, but I think to your point,
• 1:11:03
  like it's a piece people don't really talk about enough with Trevor Lawrence, like
• 1:11:06
  even though he ran like a bunch of readoption stuff at Clemson and he would
• 1:11:10
  like keep it and take off, but especially like his first year as a
• 1:11:13
  starter there at Clemson, but like his ability to create off script isn't really
• 1:11:17
  talked about, whether with his legs or his arms. But to your point,
• 1:11:20
  yet, this Bill's defense has been so good at causing chaos for quarterbacks
• 1:11:26
  or confusing them and then being disciplined on top of it. So it's all
• 1:11:30
  very interesting, like from a schematic perspective, And yeah, I'm very I'm
• 1:11:33
  not excited to wake up super early, Like, no, I don't want
• 1:11:36
  to do it again. You have to do it two weeks in a row
• 1:11:39
  now with the Jags playing back to back. But yeah, I'm not excited
• 1:11:42
  to wake up early, and I don't like the whole idea of like the
• 1:11:45
  time change and travel. The London game to me is like a Thursday night
• 1:11:47
  game where like anything can happen, Like I just I'm always like, I
• 1:11:50
  mean, I'm super paranoid all the time with that kind of stuff. But
• 1:11:55
  we'll see what happens. It's gonna be a very exciting game. I think
• 1:11:57
  you're from a schematic perspective, good individual players, good coaches on both sides
• 1:12:00
  of the ball, and then seeing how everything matches up and fits in conjunction
• 1:12:03
  with one another. JPU crushed it. I kept you longer than I should
• 1:12:06
  have again, so which I sincerely apologize for for the second week in a
• 1:12:10
  row. But I hope this time you kind of expected it after what happened
• 1:12:13
  last time. I've always booked like at least like an hour and a half
• 1:12:16
  about with you there. I appreciate you. I'll see you over on Twitter
• 1:12:20
  again. Everybody give JP a follow. He's tremendous. Check out established the
• 1:12:24
  fun and everything he writes like. He's awesome. Again, I appreciate you
• 1:12:27
  taking the time. Thanks for joining me, godspeed. I'll see you on
• 1:12:30
  Twitter and enjoy the rest of your Tuesday night. Thank for having me later,
• 1:12:33
  man Man, I love JP He's fantastic back to back weeks. Just
• 1:12:40
  enjoy having him on the show. Like his insight, his knowledge, like
• 1:12:43
  what he's able to bring. It just happened to be again. Like dude
• 1:12:47
  loves the Jags, covers the Jags a bunch, So being able to bring
• 1:12:50
  him back week after week after week, but two weeks in a row,
• 1:12:55
  especially after our fun last week's episode was breaking down Miami. It was a
• 1:12:58
  good time. So major shout out a p for joining me again. Now
• 1:13:00
  we're going to dive into some stock up in stock down after the Bills Week
• 1:13:04
  four victory against the Miami Dolphins. Before we do that, though, I

• 1:13:59
  Oh Aiden, it's it right now wherever we go. Oh John says,
• 1:14:01
  I want a pizza. I always want a pizza every time I talk
• 1:14:03
  about one by pizza on the show, Like it's legitimately a problem. Aiden
• 1:14:08
  comes through and says, if anyone deserves a huge stock up at Sean McDermott,
• 1:14:12
  Sean McDermott is the first stock up piece for me. You know,
• 1:14:15
  I think a big sorry Beata, Jim, I apologize. I think a
• 1:14:19
  big piece or takeaway after what happened in this game against the Dolphins for the
• 1:14:26
  Bills. That's funny. How do I print the pizza? That's very good.
• 1:14:31
  I think after coming out of that Bill's Dolphins game, after how successful
• 1:14:35
  the Bills defense was, I think people, I don't want to say too
• 1:14:41
  many, but I saw a lot of takes where you know, this Dolphins
• 1:14:44
  offense wasn't for real. They're not a good offense. You know, it
• 1:14:45
  was kind of fraudulent, YadA YadA. They're not as good as everybody thought
• 1:14:48
  they were. I still think the Dolphins are a very, very, very
• 1:14:53
  very good offense. I think the conversation is less about how the Dolphins weren't
• 1:14:57
  real and just more of how good the Bill's defense is, or at the
• 1:15:00
  very least was in that game against the Miami Dolphins. Just what they did
• 1:15:05
  from a coverage perspective and mixing their coverages. I mentioned it earlier, like
• 1:15:10
  varying their coverages making something look like man and then it ended up being zone,
• 1:15:14
  playing some of those trap coverages, you know, locking the number one
• 1:15:17
  receiver and then playing zone over the top. They dropped Taryn Johnson with hide
• 1:15:23
  and rap and almost made a three across type of look and coverage. And
• 1:15:28
  then they did that while they had Dane Jackson come and play man. They
• 1:15:30
  tied in their coverages with their fronts and were able to make two a hold
• 1:15:34
  onto the ball and from a coverage standpoint and allowed the rush to get home.
• 1:15:40
  Early on, we were seeing kind of a disconnect between the coverages and
• 1:15:42
  the fronts, but as the game went on, we saw two a half
• 1:15:45
  to hold the ball because his first read was taken away. And it's not
• 1:15:47
  that he's a one read only quarterback, it's his first read would get taken
• 1:15:51
  away and by the time he got to the second read, pressure would start
• 1:15:56
  to get there, or his first read would be taken away, his second
• 1:15:59
  read would be taken away, and then pressure got there. We just saw
• 1:16:02
  a really good schematic and individual performance from this Bill's defense. I think it
• 1:16:09
  starts with Sean McDermott, the game plan that he put together from a coverage
• 1:16:12
  standpoint and a front standpoint, again continuing to work in those pressure packages.
• 1:16:15
  I've broken down several of them multiple episodes, I think from a stock up
• 1:16:19
  perspective here on the show these past several weeks. But what he's doing.
• 1:16:24
  When McDermott brings these five man pressures, it's been working. When he brings
• 1:16:27
  six man pressures, they've been working. His simulate, it's his creepers.
• 1:16:30
  Those have been working. Showing pressure and then dropping out has been working because
• 1:16:33
  the threat of pressure is actually real. Now with what the Bills have shown
• 1:16:38
  and how the Bills have executed up front, it's it's just been a really
• 1:16:43
  good performance. Oh. I like this comment from Beta Jim saying it's a
• 1:16:45
  combination that Dolphin's offense is very real but people hyped it to unrealistic levels,
• 1:16:50
  as well as the Bill's defense being very good. Yeah, this Dolphin's offense
• 1:16:55
  again still a quality unit, but they lost the chess match from a schematic
• 1:16:59
  perspective and then again from an individual execution perspective. So hats off to Sean
• 1:17:03
  McDermott, hats off to the players several in particular, which we're going to
• 1:17:06
  get into it a minute and break down some tape on But yeah, Sean
• 1:17:11
  McDermott again like this, Mike McDaniels a good play caller and a good designer
• 1:17:15
  to ah and this offense have just I mean again, they put up seventy
• 1:17:18
  points the week before. Granted, Denver's got a whole mess issues on the
• 1:17:21
  defensive side of the ball, but you know, watching what the Bills did,
• 1:17:26
  the adjustments that they made again, tying everything together from their fronts to
• 1:17:30
  their coverages, making everything work in tandem, confusing to making him think it
• 1:17:34
  was going to be a and then it was going to be be mixing up
• 1:17:38
  their man and their zone coverages and what they were doing and who was dropping
• 1:17:41
  and who was going where, not to mention their ability to id what was
• 1:17:45
  going on. You saw a ton in this game of all the pre snap
• 1:17:49
  communication with Terroll Bernard and Micah Hyde and Taryn Johnson and everybody kind of communicating,
• 1:17:56
  calling out different pieces of who's gonna motion here and who's gonna motion there.
• 1:17:59
  And when you do that, that can sometimes lead to overthinking, and
• 1:18:01
  then you get to a point where everybody's trying to call out so much that
• 1:18:04
  it's kind of paralysis by analysis, or you call out so many things that
• 1:18:10
  nobody kind of gets the message at all, or they get the wrong message,
• 1:18:13
  you ide the wrong thing, and you get beat. Just watching the
• 1:18:15
  Bills consistently execute again, the players deserve a huge pad on the back for
• 1:18:19
  it, But I think a lot of it starts to come from Sean McDermott
• 1:18:26
  and his ability as a defensive coordinator and the successful track that track record that
• 1:18:30
  he has going back again it was time in Philly, his time in Carolina,
• 1:18:32
  and then like I mentioned with JP, you know how this Bill's defense
• 1:18:38
  has really kind of adopted his personality and his mindset. We talked about it
• 1:18:41
  all offseason and coming into this show this year about Sean McDermott and who he's
• 1:18:45
  been as a DC attack minded, aggressive, you know, showing pressure,
• 1:18:50
  bringing pressure, changing fronts, changing coverages, fast, physical, aggressive,
• 1:18:56
  everybody flying to the football, and we've seen that consistently from this defense.
• 1:19:00
  So just from an overall philosophical standpoint, structural standpoint, schematic standpoint, however
• 1:19:03
  you want to label it in whatever way, shape or form, Sean McDermott
• 1:19:08
  is a massive, massive, massive, massive stock up for the Buffalo Bills
• 1:19:14
  after that week against Miami and again, and you could even give them a
• 1:19:17
  bigger stock up with what they did to the Washington offense and then seeing how
• 1:19:20
  the Washington offense played against the Philadelphia Eagles defense, who I know aren't in
• 1:19:24
  a hundred percent, but seeing how Washington rebounded, knowing what the Bills did
• 1:19:29
  to that offense the week prior, like now, the you know again,
• 1:19:32
  as you get more sample size and you really start to see who teams are
• 1:19:35
  a week ago, the conversation was, while the Washington offense sucks, so
• 1:19:39
  the Bill's defense isn't real. Now the Bills had that performance against Miami,
• 1:19:43
  and then the Washington offense has that performance against Philly, and now it's a
• 1:19:45
  bit of a different conversation. So it's very interesting to see, you know,
• 1:19:50
  how the kind of narrative shifts as we get more sample size and more
• 1:19:54
  pieces of things. So Sean McDermott, first piece for stock up and stock
• 1:20:00
  down. Next piece, I want to go into several individual players. I
• 1:20:02
  want to go in to Daikwan Jones, At Oliver and Matt Milano. And
• 1:20:05
  in order to do that, we are going to as we do here on
• 1:20:09
  this show, we are going to show some tape to break down some of
• 1:20:15
  these pieces. Here we go, we're gonna share my screen. First,
• 1:20:19
  we're going to talk about mister Daikwan Jones, somebody who you know. I
• 1:20:24
  think again, the line I keep using is everybody recognized the value that he
• 1:20:28
  had last year and what he brought to this team once he was out of
• 1:20:30
  the lineup against Cincinnati. It just made a huge difference in the playoffs,
• 1:20:33
  and he is continuing to just absolutely crush week after week after week. He
• 1:20:43
  is what's my tweet from earlier? I don't remember it. Oh, actually
• 1:20:46
  I just saw a super chat and I have to stop and go back because
• 1:20:48
  I realized there's another one. Let's stop the share screen from now, save
• 1:20:51
  away, all right or running back. I love the name. You're here
• 1:20:55
  every week supporting. I appreciate the hell, Audia. I apologize waking to
• 1:20:58
  this super chat so late. The comment is mcdee's defense hasn't faced a mobile
• 1:21:02
  QB like Lawrence this year. We'll see if Bernard is maybe a QB spy.
• 1:21:06
  You know that ties into the last pieces we were talking about with JP
• 1:21:11
  when it came to Trevor Lawrence's athleticism, what he can do with his legs
• 1:21:15
  and what he can do off script. I think it's a fair point,
• 1:21:16
  and seeing how you know the Bills have used Milano in that spiral previously,
• 1:21:21
  just based on how the structure has worked out with Tremaine Edmonds, so it'll
• 1:21:25
  be interesting to see, like if they do decide to have to go with
• 1:21:27
  a spy, is it Bernard, isn't Milano? How does everything work in
• 1:21:30
  conjunction? Good point. I like that. And then this super chat from
• 1:21:34
  Dave, which is the one that Key be back to save away or right
• 1:21:38
  a running back, which I how it is from missing that. Dave,
• 1:21:41
  appreciate you being here. You're here pretty much every week, and I appreciate
• 1:21:44
  the super chat. Thank you for being here, Thank you for the super
• 1:21:45
  chat. Dave says, confidence in the d playing at the same level without
• 1:21:50
  Trey Man like that. I'll mention it now like this was legitimately my only
• 1:21:56
  stock down from the week, and it's just like emotionally, I mean it's
• 1:21:59
  gonna chnically as well, but I feel so bad for Trey, Like coming
• 1:22:01
  back from the knee injury. He wasn't one hundred percent last year, came
• 1:22:06
  back, got better as the year went on. Comes into this offseason year
• 1:22:12
  two away from that ACL, which is when you start to get back to
• 1:22:16
  I appreciate you, thank you for still being here, and thank you for
• 1:22:18
  forgiving me. I appreciate you. My fault having that off season that he
• 1:22:26
  had this year where he just made practice after practice, he didn't miss anything,
• 1:22:30
  he didn't need a rest day, he didn't need an off day.
• 1:22:32
  It wasn't like always having some swelling, like he had a full regular off
• 1:22:35
  season. And again, this isn't schematic. This is just feeling for that
• 1:22:41
  dude, like to watch him battle back, and then I just an Achilles
• 1:22:46
  like the Achilles is like the modern day ACL, like the Achilles is to
• 1:22:49
  football now what ACL injuries were to know the nineties, And it's just disappointed
• 1:22:57
  for Tray. I feel gutted for Trey from an emotional stamp point, like
• 1:23:00
  for him as a person, it just sucks. And he's such a good
• 1:23:01
  dude and he means a lot to the team, but just for him as
• 1:23:04
  a person, I feel really bad for Trey, So I just kind of
• 1:23:08
  wanted to put that out there. That's like my only stockdown from this game,
• 1:23:10
  because there's so many other positives to talk about. I feel absolutely guted
• 1:23:13
  for Trey as a human as a person, but from a schematic perspective,
• 1:23:15
  I think there's enough. I'm confident in Dane Jackson. You know, he
• 1:23:19
  had a couple of good reps in the game against Miami, had a nice
• 1:23:23
  pass breakup on Tyreek Hill on that two point version, had a couple of
• 1:23:26
  really good tackles and blow ups. He's gonna miss some tackles from time to
• 1:23:29
  time, but I'm cool with Dane and Benford. And then this is also
• 1:23:32
  why you draft corners or you keep that depth at that position. Now,
• 1:23:40
  Kayre Elam has legitimate value for this team. I know he hasn't turned into
• 1:23:44
  what everybody wanted when the Bills took him in the first round, but I'm
• 1:23:46
  okay with a cornerback rotation right now of a top three of Dane Jackson,
• 1:23:49
  Christian Benford and Kayer Elam. And it's because I have confidence in those guys.
• 1:23:56
  But then also, and again no jinks the talent around them. You
• 1:24:00
  know, you have two All Pro safety, all Pro caliber safeties and Micah
• 1:24:04
  Hyde and Jordan Poyer. Matt Malana was an All Pro linebacker. Terrell Bernard
• 1:24:09
  is playing fantastically, Taran Johnson is one of the best nickel corners in football.
• 1:24:13
  And then the defensive line is balling out across the board. Leonard Floyd
• 1:24:17
  and de Kuan Jones are both in the top ten for PFF's pass rush productivity.
• 1:24:20
  I think day Quan is seventh and Floyd is eighth, which is just
• 1:24:25
  unreal. And then Groot has been productive a JF Andess has been productive,
• 1:24:29
  ed Oliver has been a monster. And this is all without von Miller,
• 1:24:33
  who in theory should be coming back. So I trust in the rest of
• 1:24:38
  the talent around the defense. You know, as Fab says and the comments,
• 1:24:43
  there's a very d team. They are. They're deep from like an
• 1:24:45
  overall standpoint, but now from a top end quality standpoint, they're deep as
• 1:24:48
  well with players that have emerged and you know how guys have stepped up.
• 1:24:53
  So I think they have enough talent around, you know, this defense to
• 1:24:57
  kind of stem the tide, even though it's you can't replace a dude like
• 1:25:00
  that with how good he is, but they have enough talent, I think
• 1:25:02
  to mitigate his loss. And then a lot of it ties to what Sean
• 1:25:06
  McDermott has done. I trust Sean McDermott schematically to mitigate that loss. And
• 1:25:12
  then also Sean McDermott traditionally going to this time in Carolina, even in Philly
• 1:25:16
  to would agree, but really in Carolina and here with the Bills. He
• 1:25:19
  gets the most blood out of the defensive backstone, so I trust him to
• 1:25:24
  be able to get the most out of what he can, or get the
• 1:25:27
  most that he can out of whoever's going to be playing in the defensive backfield,
• 1:25:30
  corners, safeties, whoever. Now, again, that doesn't mean you're
• 1:25:33
  not necessarily limited in certain areas, but I trust McDermott to put those corners
• 1:25:39
  and the defense as a whole, especially on the back end, in the
• 1:25:42
  right positions to succeed, to set them up for failure, mitigate their weaknesses,
• 1:25:45
  amplify their strength. So I know that's a very kind of long piece
• 1:25:48
  answer, but I am pretty confident. In the defense without Trey, it
• 1:25:53
  still sucks. There's no silver lining. It's not great. You know,
• 1:25:57
  there's no plus side to it. The Bills are a worse off defense without
• 1:26:01
  trade Abous White, But I don't think it means all hope is lost like
• 1:26:05
  it did a couple of years ago when he went down. I think they
• 1:26:08
  have enough talent to stem the tide overall in the defense, and then with
• 1:26:12
  what Sean McDermott is doing schematically, I think they can do that as well.
• 1:26:15
  But again, super disappointed for Trey and absolutely gutted. Yeah, as
• 1:26:19
  Pete says, it was hard watching the film back with Trey out there.
• 1:26:21
  It ruined my whole day once he went down. Like, I didn't even
• 1:26:24
  enjoy the win as much. I was just so gutted. I kind of
• 1:26:27
  just sat there watching the game. I was just super disappointed. And they
• 1:26:31
  followed over the comment their daby, I just spout on, I know you're
• 1:26:33
  not replacing him, but just wondering what the way we play schematically if we
• 1:26:35
  are a team who can still play at a high level. Yeah, you
• 1:26:38
  know, I think maybe you run less man coverage situations, or you lock
• 1:26:43
  certain sides of the ball differently because you don't have Trey, or because you
• 1:26:46
  know Dane Jackson is a little more athletically limited. You know, maybe you
• 1:26:50
  throw more cover two in there and trust your corners to play more cloud or
• 1:26:54
  something like that. But again, Dane, I know Dane caught a lot
• 1:26:57
  of flak last year. Dane Jackson isn't a slouch. Oh, and I
• 1:27:00
  like this, you know, kind of speaking to what Aidan says here.
• 1:27:02
  He may not be an all pro, but I'm more than confident in Dane
• 1:27:04
  to play at a starting level reasonably. I think Dane is like a high
• 1:27:09
  end corner three on a low end CB two. I'm okay with that.
• 1:27:12
  And Christian Benford has played like a good CB two this year. So you
• 1:27:15
  have two CB twos, you know, depending on what kind of tier you
• 1:27:18
  want to classify them in or place them in, and they're playing with all
• 1:27:23
  pro caliber safeties, an all Pro linebacker, an emerging linebacker, and then
• 1:27:26
  as strong as hell defensive line. I think that's enough to kind of stem
• 1:27:31
  the tide. And then again, which what Sean McDermot can do schematically,
• 1:27:34
  what he's doing with the pressure packages, he can kind of tie that into
• 1:27:38
  the coverage piece alleviate any type of stressors on that back end. So fair
• 1:27:44
  point there, good question, good comment. I'm going to sharing my screen
• 1:27:49
  now. Also appreciate all the kind words from everyone in the comment or on
• 1:27:53
  the comment section. As that super negative guy who apparently hates me left the
• 1:27:57
  episode and was only here for JP, I'm terrible. I appreciate everybody saying
• 1:28:00
  goodbye to him on his way out. That was enjoyable for me. Film
• 1:28:06
  breakdown, Let us do this now. First day Kwan Jones, I don't
• 1:28:13
  know why I'm speaking like that. It's fun cadence. I'm trying to pull
• 1:28:15
  up. I tweeted it out earlier, I didn't put it in my notes.
• 1:28:18
  Okay. So yeah. So out of two and thirty eight qualifying edges
• 1:28:23
  and interior players, the Bills have two players in the top ten for pass
• 1:28:26
  rush productivity, which is a formula that measures pressure is relative to how many
• 1:28:30
  times you rush the passer. Day Kuan Jones is seventh, Leonard Floyd is
• 1:28:33
  eighth. Day Kuan Jones is also eighth in win percentage. Day Kuan Jones
• 1:28:39
  was brought in to stop the run, to be that piece on the interior,
• 1:28:44
  to help the Bills play light boxes, take on double teams, and
• 1:28:46
  be a force against the run. Him being just this pass rush I don't
• 1:28:54
  want to say savant, but what he's offered on the interior from a pass
• 1:28:57
  rush perspective has just been the cherry on top and the fact that he continues
• 1:29:00
  to operate at this pace from a pass rush standpoint in conjunction with what he
• 1:29:04
  does against the run. Again, just very strong for Day Kuan Jones with
• 1:29:10
  you know what he's done overall in terms of bringing his whole game together and
• 1:29:14
  then against the run he is out of let's see filter snaps here out of
• 1:29:24
  one hundred and ninety nine interior Okay, let me filter that one more time
• 1:29:31
  here. Out of one hundred and ninety nine edges and interior defensive players,
• 1:29:40
  day Quan Jones is tied for seventeenth in stop percentage against the run, at
• 1:29:45
  Oliver is eleventh. So again, just tying it back to that, Daikwan
• 1:29:47
  Jones piece like a complete player right now with what he's doing against the run,
• 1:29:54
  what he's doing from a pass rush standpoint, it is just, oh,
• 1:29:58
  this is funny. I see the comments coming through. I'm trying not
• 1:30:00
  to get distracted by him. Yeah. I don't know. Maybe he doesn't
• 1:30:04
  know me personally. It seemed very pointed, like in an attack on me.
• 1:30:08
  He really didn't like me. But you know, to each their own
• 1:30:10
  I like this comment from Walter. They'll saying maybe somebody finally did what you
• 1:30:13
  ask and recommended your stream to their enemies. I like it. I like
• 1:30:17
  that. Yeah, absolutely, that's very good. That's very good. Again,
• 1:30:23
  So metrics, day Kuan Jones is absolutely killing it overall against the pass
• 1:30:27
  against the run, seventh in terms of pass rush productivity amongst two hundred and
• 1:30:31
  thirty eight qualifying edges and interior players and then being tied for seventeenth out of
• 1:30:36
  one hundred and ninety nine edges and interior players when it comes to stop percentage,
• 1:30:41
  just pass run, He's really proven to be a complete player. Here
• 1:30:45
  he is on this play. I've highlighted him here, let's play as we
• 1:30:51
  go forward. Here, just the quickness that you get from him, this
• 1:30:56
  is he. This is on the third down two ends up scrambling for the
• 1:30:58
  first down, which I know or all is a negative in the grand scheme
• 1:31:00
  of things, But just the quickness that you get from him, I'm going
• 1:31:04
  to show it from multiple angles here he is again and again keep in mind
• 1:31:11
  too, like his alignment, so he's lined up over the tackle almost on
• 1:31:15
  the outside shoulder, so it's like it's not even necessarily in a FOURD like
• 1:31:18
  he's even further from that. And this is a player who normally lives in
• 1:31:23
  the A gaps or you know, on you know, shade it up or
• 1:31:26
  most like on the inside shoulder of the guard like, So him being in
• 1:31:29
  a wide alignment here isn't necessarily his forte for his skill set for his size
• 1:31:32
  and watch just the quickness, the quick arm over or swim. But then
• 1:31:39
  this is the piece to the agility. Watch the bend he drops that shoulder,
• 1:31:44
  So he drops that shoulder, of the fluidity and the athleticism to do
• 1:31:46
  that. But then also look at again, this is something Eric and I
• 1:31:49
  talk about in the film, the ankle flexion. He's a three hundred plus
• 1:31:54
  pound man, so the strength and the flexibility you have to have in your
• 1:31:58
  lower body, in this case your ankles to pull this move off. This
• 1:32:00
  isn't like trying to make it seem like more than it is. This is
• 1:32:02
  a legitimately impressive piece. Watching him use that to dip and get around and
• 1:32:09
  then he straightens up to it, just makes a play as Dai Kuan comes
• 1:32:13
  through. But again that's an impressive rep. I know it ends up just
• 1:32:16
  being a pressure he doesn't bring to a down, but just watching that again,
• 1:32:20
  this isn't This isn't someone I know he's seventh and pass rush productivity,
• 1:32:25
  but this isn't somebody who is looked at as well. You know, we
• 1:32:29
  gotta get our passed us from Daiquan Jones him just adding it is again that
• 1:32:32
  cherry on top with how good he is against the run and what he was
• 1:32:34
  brought in and do again, circled again, head up slightly outside shade of
• 1:32:40
  that right tackle. Watch him just bang and then dip and get through.
• 1:32:45
  Play from this angle and regular speed one more time, or I guess for
• 1:32:51
  the first time in regular speed completely just bang, dips, rips through,
• 1:32:57
  real quality, real quality. Another play that we're going to go through here
• 1:33:00
  from mister day Kwan Jones is here we go through the snow. Okay,
• 1:33:11
  this one not even gonna show it from the sideline angle or the one that's
• 1:33:15
  the camera angle. I want. Here's day Kwan Jones. I tweeted this
• 1:33:21
  out yesterday. Put that he put made the center look like he was a
• 1:33:28
  baby giraffe. Someone who's Twitter handle life forget said, you know, gave
• 1:33:31
  me the gift of bamby trying to move well on ice. So it could
• 1:33:34
  be a baby deer on ice. It could be a baby giraffe, however
• 1:33:38
  you want to look at it. But here's day Kwan Jones and just you
• 1:33:42
  know, I'll circle him here, play this regular speed. Just watch what
• 1:33:46
  he does to the center, poor poor center. Go again, played in
• 1:33:53
  real time, because real time you get a true sense of just how quick
• 1:33:57
  it happens. Now we're gonna go in slow moo. So I'm gonna play
• 1:34:00
  a regular speed. There goes in motion. Here it goes da Quan.
• 1:34:02
  Just watch what he does. So the center's gonna try and anchor. Da
• 1:34:05
  Kuan's under him. He's got the good hand placement right in the chest.
• 1:34:09
  He's got leverage, he's pushing, he's driving through this kind of textbook.
• 1:34:14
  He's underneath him. The center does not have his hands Leah Michelmberg. He's
• 1:34:18
  you know, his right hand is off here. He's got nothing, he's
• 1:34:21
  got no grip. He's been poor positioning. He's not going to be able
• 1:34:25
  to anchor. But he tries to anchor and nope, tries again, nope,
• 1:34:30
  and just you can just see him melt and melt. Sorry, I
• 1:34:38
  feels so bad doing this, but this is just brutal. And then this
• 1:34:43
  helps heat up to him. This is on third down. All Miami needed
• 1:34:46
  was two yards. This helps heat up to Hi. He tries to get
• 1:34:49
  it to mostert those that are a little high and behind him in completion,
• 1:34:54
  bills get off the field. So not only is it a good play from
• 1:34:57
  Dai, Kuan Jones, but it also contributes to getting the Dolphins off the
• 1:35:00
  field getting a stop on third down in a very manageable This is third and
• 1:35:02
  two, and with how Miami's offense has been rolling, this is more than
• 1:35:08
  accomplishable for their offense and de Kuan just ruins any chance of it by making
• 1:35:14
  Ikenberg look like a newborn baby giraffe trying to walk for the first time.
• 1:35:18
  Brutal. Just I feel bad, but it's also man, that's just it's
• 1:35:28
  just his power at the burst, the leverage that he's able to play with,
• 1:35:30
  like how good he plays technically but also from a strength perspective, and
• 1:35:34
  overall what he does. Here's another one, mister day Kuan Jones right there,
• 1:35:40
  circle him. Yeah, this ends up being a positive game from Miami.
• 1:35:44
  Nice tackled by Taylor Rep on the outside. But I don't want to
• 1:35:47
  just pull the plays that you know it only resulted in a negative Like sometimes
• 1:35:50
  it's still just impressive to see what they do again, wide alignment, head
• 1:35:56
  up on the right tackle. Here he is again, Day Kuan Joe.
• 1:36:00
  We're going slow motion. Watch he goes from head up on the right tackle
• 1:36:05
  to the far side a gap similar to what we saw on that first play.
• 1:36:10
  Slants over hits Eichenberg with that swim move, But it's more so the
• 1:36:15
  speed with which it happens. Again, I know Tua gets it out to
• 1:36:18
  his outlet. I know this is a positive gain from Miami at second and
• 1:36:21
  ten they gained seven. But I'm just going to keep playing it from this
• 1:36:25
  spot. Just watch the quickness from Daikwan Jones over and over again, how
• 1:36:30
  fast he goes, he crosses multiple gaps and gets into the backfield in the
• 1:36:35
  blink of a nye. This is not a pass rush specialist interior defensive player.
• 1:36:40
  This is not a two hundred and eighty five or ninety pound defensive tackle.
• 1:36:44
  This is a three hundred plus pound defensive interior player who is used to
• 1:36:48
  plugging the run, two gaping or gap in and a half before he came
• 1:36:53
  to Buffalo and became more of a one gap penetrating type of dude. The
• 1:36:57
  fact that you're getting this out of your run stopping defensive tackle and he's still
• 1:37:00
  playing well against the run has been a huge boom to this defense. Again,
• 1:37:04
  having an absolute monster of a year being seventh and pass rush productivity,
• 1:37:09
  which is just nuts for him, considering he's not a pass rush specialist as
• 1:37:12
  an interior player, extremely impressive. He's somebody who I know everybody keeps saying
• 1:37:18
  it, you know a lot like gotta get you know, extension, extension,
• 1:37:21
  extension. He really does need to be extended. I know age is
• 1:37:25
  a factor, but what he's brought to this defense, it's been a lot,
• 1:37:31
  it's been significant. Someone else who's brought a significant piece to this offense
• 1:37:36
  or offense defense this year has been mister ed Oliver De Kwan's running mate on
• 1:37:42
  the interior. Here he is right here. You can't really make him out,
• 1:37:46
  but he's right next to Shack Lawson there on the edge. So here's
• 1:37:50
  mister ed Oliver right here. Also, I want to highlight Taryn Johnson on
• 1:37:55
  this play for boxing in this run and helping at Oliver to make this play
• 1:37:58
  but playing in real time. There goes the motion. Watch edge just scrape
• 1:38:03
  down the line. Both good play. Again, I want to highlight Tarn.
• 1:38:10
  Watch the play by Tarn Johnson. This is what help helps make it.
• 1:38:14
  We go, we get that burst motion, it ends up being a
• 1:38:17
  handoff. Watch Tarn come up again, plays the run like he's a six
• 1:38:24
  foot four two forty pound linebacker comes up boxes this run in. He comes
• 1:38:30
  up, he gets underneath, gets outside, dips underneath. He forces Moster
• 1:38:35
  to have to take this alley if he plays this wrong. Moster gets to
• 1:38:39
  the outside, and then Ed Oliver and Terrell Bernard, these guys who are
• 1:38:43
  chasing these pursuit guys from the interior. They're not going to get Moster there
• 1:38:47
  with his speed. It doesn't even matter the angle they're gonna take. They're
• 1:38:50
  not going to make that play. I guess there's a chance that they might,
• 1:38:54
  but it's going to be significantly harder play. So Taran forces this back
• 1:38:57
  inside to where his help is trying to limit the explosive play. But Ed
• 1:39:02
  came down the line like a banshee, and Bang makes the play on Mostert.
• 1:39:06
  Let's watch it from not this angle. I hate this angle. We'll
• 1:39:10
  go from this one. There's mister Ed Oliver. We're gonna going slow mo
• 1:39:15
  here. Watch how he makes contact with the guard, but watch how he
• 1:39:19
  keeps himself clean. He gets the hand extension. Look at the hand placement,
• 1:39:23
  Bang Bang. I can't really see it too great without zooming in,
• 1:39:28
  but he gets the hand placement. There it's right into and then it's in
• 1:39:31
  front of his helmet. Like here, it's right into the chest. He's
• 1:39:33
  controlling his man, and then on top of it, he extends as he
• 1:39:39
  reads this play. So his eyes, let's go back a little bit.
• 1:39:42
  His eyes are in the backfield as he's working his way down the line and
• 1:39:45
  has his good hand placement. His eyes are in the backfield on mostert,
• 1:39:50
  so he's watching what's happening. Watches boom, get the big extension again.
• 1:39:56
  Now he presses his man off him and gets clean and works his way down
• 1:40:00
  the line, hustles, bang, and even right before he makes the play.
• 1:40:08
  This is nice too because because Hunt tries to make contact with him again,
• 1:40:11
  watch ed again. Right here, one more quick, little type of
• 1:40:15
  stiff arm shot punch, some shock with your hands, some pop with your
• 1:40:19
  hands, just to get him off kilter and keep yourself free, to prevent
• 1:40:24
  him from getting into your kitchen, to prevent him from getting into your body
• 1:40:26
  and latching on. Just making the play and then bang, play in fast
• 1:40:30
  motion a couple of times so you can get the speed of it, the
• 1:40:33
  violence in the hands, the shock, the pop in the hands, the
• 1:40:36
  hustle, the effort down the line. Really good play from Ed who's been
• 1:40:42
  strong in every single game this year, pass rush against the run. He
• 1:40:45
  and Dai Kuan have just been absolute studs on the inside for the Bills.
• 1:40:48
  It's part of the reason why this defense has been so successful. Look at
• 1:40:53
  every time again. You see it better when it's not in SloMo. Look
• 1:40:56
  at every time his hands make contact with Hunt. Watch the pop, Watch
• 1:41:00
  the shock like what you see in the hands and in the pop from Ed
• 1:41:04
  Oliver. Every time Bank Joelton back, Joelton back again, and then get
• 1:41:09
  gets him again, like watch the whip lash and the head and the neck
• 1:41:11
  every time, like there's real shock, there's real pop in those hands from
• 1:41:15
  at Oliver. Let it finish on the other angle here, just every time
• 1:41:21
  man Boom and again this is the angle see Tarn Johnson, Let's let it
• 1:41:29
  run. Here comes Taran Boom dips under forces this so Mostart has to cut
• 1:41:35
  into this alley. And because he cuts into that alley, it allows at
• 1:41:40
  Oliver, who's flowing down, to make that play and he crushes Mostart.
• 1:41:45
  And another play we're gonna look at for mister Ed Oliver. This one's a
• 1:41:49
  straight up when I'm not gonna go from the sideline angle. Go from this
• 1:41:54
  D zone angle. Here's mister ed Oliver, quick decisive burst off the line
• 1:42:00
  and watching him win on this one. We'll go and slow mo first,
• 1:42:04
  so you see bang quick swim. Actually no, it's the other angle that's
• 1:42:09
  the better angle. This is the one. Here's that Oliver. We'll played
• 1:42:15
  in real time first. Just watch the quickness, boom, backfield plant.
• 1:42:24
  Just oh, this is a second and four. Miami loses two yards on
• 1:42:30
  this play because I d just the quickness, the recognition to recognize the run,
• 1:42:34
  the hand technique, the quickness, the agility voids the block gets in
• 1:42:43
  bang. It happens in the blink of an eye. That type of interior
• 1:42:45
  disruption. JP and I talked about it last week when I had him on
• 1:42:48
  the show. Like getting that interior pressure against Tua, but also having that
• 1:42:54
  interior presence against the run was going to be needed for this Bill's team.
• 1:42:58
  Daquan brought it. At Oliver brought it. Man quick, decisive win for
• 1:43:05
  at Oliver just overall impressive with what he's doing right there. Last player I
• 1:43:11
  wanted to highlight here in stock up, mister Matt Milano, just an absolute
• 1:43:16
  monster. It's nice to see him finally getting recognition on the national broadcasts.
• 1:43:20
  Here he is on this one. Actually, the first piece I want to
• 1:43:23
  call out with this is note all the pre snap communication Micah Hyde, Matt
• 1:43:29
  Milano, Taryn Johnson, Terrell Bernard, even as at a start. But
• 1:43:33
  just watch watch all the pre snap communication that is happening with this Bill's defense.
• 1:43:43
  Just all the communication to Rol Bernard looks like an air traffic controller.
• 1:43:45
  Just all the pre snap communication bag. And then when I want to do
• 1:43:48
  with this, when we're gonna let the play run, but I want to
• 1:43:50
  keep playing it in real time at this specific spot so you can see just
• 1:43:57
  like the speed and the aggre with which Terrell Bernard comes forward and Matt Milano
• 1:44:02
  comes forward. This ends up being a forced fumble and a turnover. But
• 1:44:08
  just watch from this perspective how fast it's just I'm just gonna keep hitting it
• 1:44:13
  from the spot, bang boom, like Bernard and Milano each got shot out
• 1:44:19
  of a cannon right there in that very moment. That's the physicality, physical
• 1:44:24
  aggressive burst at the tackle point, not out of control, purposeful controlled violence,
• 1:44:30
  controlled burst, controlled aggression right on the ball carrier and the ball comes
• 1:44:34
  out. I don't even think Milano is necessarily going for the strip. He's
• 1:44:38
  just making a hard, fast, physical football play and it leads to a
• 1:44:42
  fumble. Boom. Let's watch it from Watch it from this angle and again.
• 1:44:50
  What's nice with this is so here's Milano. Watch him start to flow.
• 1:44:57
  He does this so well, like flowing over the top, scra been
• 1:45:00
  over the top, like his ability to read. He sees what's going on
• 1:45:02
  here. Bernard fills the alley right here, which is nice. And then
• 1:45:05
  Milano shoots it backdoor like his ability to like shoot those gaps getting quickly penetrate,
• 1:45:11
  whether it's due to just athleticism and quickness or a pre snap read or
• 1:45:15
  post snap processing. He's so adept at this gets through boom again, not
• 1:45:21
  necessarily going for the strip, just makes a good physical play, gets his
• 1:45:26
  hand on the ball as he wraps up, ball comes out. Watch it
• 1:45:30
  from this angle again. See all the communication. Here's Matt Milano who recognizes
• 1:45:34
  the motion, which is the tell you know, alec ingol going in that
• 1:45:39
  you know orbit mightey type of orbit motion, burst motion, fast motion from
• 1:45:42
  him. Ball is usually going to that side. Yeah, it goes ingle
• 1:45:47
  ball in the side. Boom again Milano. Emi'll circle Bernard too, Shout
• 1:45:55
  out Bernard, who's played while we've highlighted his play on the show. Bernard
• 1:46:00
  triggers, sees the ball go to most hurt comes downhill. This is also
• 1:46:03
  what part it makes it too right, Like Milano makes this play on the
• 1:46:06
  ball and generates the fumble. But Bernard coming up and filling the alley here
• 1:46:12
  and filling the hole and doing it at the angle and the pace that he
• 1:46:15
  does is what causes most to have to stop his feet and put his foot
• 1:46:18
  in the ground, which is what leads him to Matt Milano and which is
• 1:46:23
  what leads to the fumble. I also want to highlight on this play mister
• 1:46:28
  alec Ingold for the Miami Dolphins, good blocking fullback. Watch him go outside
• 1:46:33
  and meet mister Dane Jackson. Boom, Dane coming up and making a physical
• 1:46:40
  play like that's what you got going on here. Like everybody's playing fast and
• 1:46:43
  physical and purposeful. Doesn't mean they're gonna make every play, Nope. Doesn't
• 1:46:46
  mean they're not gonna get caught out of position. No, doesn't mean they
• 1:46:49
  won't miss tackles from time to time. No, but just the physical aggression,
• 1:46:55
  the physical and the physical aggressiveness that they have, the mental aggressiveness they
• 1:47:00
  had. They're just playing free. They're flowing to the football. It's fast,
• 1:47:02
  it's aggressive, it's clean. Just look at everything happening simultaneously, like
• 1:47:06
  and I'll go on slow motion here. Dane Jackson pops in gold Bang,
• 1:47:15
  Bernard comes up. Most are cuts, Milano crushes, most ball comes out.
• 1:47:20
  Just like, look at everything happening all at once from multiple levels and
• 1:47:24
  players of the defense boom. That's good football. That's good defensive football.
• 1:47:30
  That's hard, clean, fast, physical, aggressive football in a multitude area.
• 1:47:34
  So shout out to Dane on that play. Shout out to Milano,
• 1:47:38
  Shout out to Terrol Bernard again. I know we're focusing on Milano here,
• 1:47:42
  but Bernard deserves recognition for that one, as does mister Dane Jackson, who
• 1:47:47
  played well coming in for Tradavious White. This next one, fourth and sixth,
• 1:47:54
  shout out a little to Milano here, but really also want to shout
• 1:47:58
  out Sean McDermott on this one too. Just with the pressure look that you've
• 1:48:00
  got, So you've got three on this side with Terrell Bernard coming up and
• 1:48:04
  lined up between Ed Oliver and Leonard Floyd. So you've got three showing on
• 1:48:10
  the left and then two showing on the right. Matt Milanna doesn't count there,
• 1:48:13
  so it's really just group and then man inside here mister Dai Kwan Jones.
• 1:48:20
  But on the snaps you can see Bernard drops out, So let's key
• 1:48:25
  what's going on here? So watch the center based on the three. It's
• 1:48:29
  again, this isn't crazy. There's just simple numbers, three showing versus two
• 1:48:32
  showing. So what are you gonna do if you're the center? Let me
• 1:48:35
  slide to my right because I got to help out the three side I can
• 1:48:40
  Burg slides to his right. Nope, Terrell Bernard, he drops, Matt
• 1:48:44
  Milano, he rushes. This is similar to one of the plays we showed
• 1:48:46
  last week, and similar to a play that we showed against Washington with the
• 1:48:50
  idea of just creating overloads and creating a numbers advantage by showing different numbers and
• 1:48:56
  alignment's pre snap. So Bernard drops out, Mlano comes what you have now
• 1:49:00
  on this side, da Quan goes inside, takes his man, Mlano goes
• 1:49:05
  inside, takes his man, and there goes Greg Gruso free off the edge,
• 1:49:11
  watching in real time slide free runner SAC. So I love it the
• 1:49:19
  design and the call from Sean McDermott in this situation. What I love for
• 1:49:23
  Milano is the timing of it. He's so adept at timing snap counts and
• 1:49:28
  then pairing that with his burst and his aggressiveness to shoot gaps or get into
• 1:49:31
  offensive lineman. Just watch the timing. It just works out so well,
• 1:49:36
  and he's just there to take up the tackle or if the tackle doesn't slide
• 1:49:41
  down onto Milano cool, he wants to stay out here on Grew Cool.
• 1:49:44
  Malano just shoots this gap and then bears down on two and you see if
• 1:49:47
  he can make a play there. But he does his job. Again,
• 1:49:50
  watch da Quan slant. On the Snapmlano takes that inside route because the thought
• 1:49:55
  is this tackle leader has to come down on a Milano and you get a
• 1:49:59
  free runner with route, or the tackle stays out on group and then again
• 1:50:04
  Mulano slices inside. Either way at this point, what Sean McDermott has done
• 1:50:09
  has created a three on two for the Buffalo Bills, which is obviously an
• 1:50:14
  advantage free runner. Again, good schematic design good timing from Matt Milano,
• 1:50:20
  but a really nice five man pressure agains. Sean McDermott has been very successful
• 1:50:24
  with these five man pressures and the players are executing well. But also just
• 1:50:28
  from a design standpoint, sometimes it's as simple as show three on one side
• 1:50:31
  and two on another, and then switch where you bring the three and drop
• 1:50:35
  somebody out, and then again you have to shout out the coverage on the
• 1:50:39
  back end. We'll show it there because TWA loves to get this ball out
• 1:50:45
  quick. He wants to get the ball out quick, but it's not there.
• 1:50:47
  Hide doesn't just come screaming up on the running back him sitting and kind
• 1:50:51
  of slow playing. It allows if two wanted to hit waddle here he doesn't
• 1:50:55
  feel comfortable, the back isn't out of his piece yet, and then groots
• 1:50:59
  bearing down on him, Groots influencing the throwing angle with how the length that
• 1:51:01
  he has, his size and his frame two is just done from the beginning.
• 1:51:06
  So again, overall good design from Sean McDermott, and then good individual
• 1:51:10
  execution from Milano and the rest of the crew. Last play here. Then
• 1:51:14
  I want to show from mister Matt Milano early on in this game man.
• 1:51:18
  Just a really really really really really strong play from him. I want to
• 1:51:24
  go to the end zone, end zone angle. There we go. Also,
• 1:51:28
  I just love this alignment. Like again, here's Taron Johnson, tiny
• 1:51:30
  nickel corner, just playing in the box, playing in the box like he's
• 1:51:34
  six foot three, two hundred and fifty two hundred forty pounds whatever. But
• 1:51:38
  we're not high lighting Tarran on this one, although we should highlight charr on
• 1:51:41
  every play because he's one of the key key components to this Bill's defense.
• 1:51:45
  Here's Matt Milano. I'll let this run in real time. Just look at
• 1:51:55
  the pace at which he scoops the leg. Somebody on this. Somebody through
• 1:52:00
  the Cobra Kai reference on Twitter when I posted this, So that was good
• 1:52:01
  too. Oh. Also again another tell for the Miami offense. Watch mister
• 1:52:06
  alec Ingold. Usually where he goes, the ball goes, but specially when
• 1:52:11
  he motions or he shifts. What's happening? There you go again, team
• 1:52:18
  defense. Love the individual play by Matt Malane, but also let's highlight our
• 1:52:24
  boy Taron Johnson. What does Tarren Johnson do on this play? Let's watch
• 1:52:29
  as the run flows outside, what does he do similar to what he did
• 1:52:31
  on that at Oliver play that I put earlier. Plays it outside. Now,
• 1:52:34
  it's not the most aggressive play here. It's not some amazing star war
• 1:52:39
  play. He doesn't submarine ingold and blow this up. He just plays responsible,
• 1:52:44
  forces a chain into this alley, and it could end up being a
• 1:52:47
  game to six or seven or more. But the point is you force this
• 1:52:51
  play back to your help, but you hope somebody scraping or flowing from the
• 1:52:56
  inside can make a play, or you funnel this to Taylor rap coming from
• 1:52:59
  depth. Taron Johnson does his job, forces this run back inside. Sometimes
• 1:53:02
  run defense isn't just about we'll hell come you didn't make the tackle. It's
• 1:53:05
  doing your job to allow others to make the tackle. Taron Johnson does his
• 1:53:10
  job here. And then just watch Milano again. The force in which he
• 1:53:15
  scrapes over a train tries to juke him. He goes low and just the
• 1:53:19
  force. It's the force again, similar to when he forced that fumble earlier.
• 1:53:25
  Like it's the force on this play from Matt Milano. Just everything he
• 1:53:30
  does is a one hundred miles an hour one hundred percent of the time.
• 1:53:33
  It's fast, it's physical, it's clean. It's just good football, like
• 1:53:39
  the way he shoots gaps, the way he plays well from the sideline angle,
• 1:53:41
  because you get an appreciation for it too. Again, they shift it
• 1:53:45
  brings Taran into the box. Here's Matt Milano again. I'll show you play
• 1:53:48
  from the beginning. They shift it brings Tearing in and here's Milano again.
• 1:53:55
  Right y'all, there's Matt Milano. I sture to just leave him circle so
• 1:53:59
  we can play this again. We're just playing in real time. Just watch
• 1:54:02
  him flow over the top. Bernard cuts inside. Smith takes them this angle
• 1:54:10
  you lose like the actual scoop or like the pick of the leg or pick
• 1:54:13
  of the angle, but it gives you the perspective of just like the grounding
• 1:54:15
  covers and what he does also to like watch watch you see that move as
• 1:54:18
  smythe comes through. Watch him right here. He bows out a little bit
• 1:54:23
  to make sure he doesn't get caught in anything so he can get over the
• 1:54:26
  top. And then he like almost not ninety degree, turns it but gets
• 1:54:30
  himself right in the whole, lowers scoops that leg. I'm gonna go from
• 1:54:35
  this end zone angle because it's my favorite piece. Just a really great play
• 1:54:41
  from Matt Milano. Fast, physical, clean, aggressive football. Everything Sean
• 1:54:46
  McDermott is about, and it's just highlighted in these players individually with what you
• 1:54:51
  saw from Dakwan Jones, what you saw from at Oliver, what you're seeing
• 1:54:55
  from Matt Milano, in addition again Dane Jackson, Taryn Johnson, Terrell Bernard,
• 1:55:00
  Micah Hi, Jordan Poyer, Greg Rousseau. Like I kind of just
• 1:55:02
  want to name everybody, but it's just fast, aggressive football. And I
• 1:55:12
  say aggressive, and I don't want aggressive to be confused with like out of
• 1:55:15
  control, like it is controlled aggression. It's just fast, flowing football.
• 1:55:18
  They are processing accurately and efficiently, and I think that's part of it too,
• 1:55:26
  right. Playing fast isn't and I've say it on the show all the
• 1:55:28
  time, like playing fast isn't just well you're fast, it's well, you
• 1:55:30
  know, I run a four three forty so i'm fast, or I have
• 1:55:32
  you know, a great short shuttle or a great three code, I'm super
• 1:55:35
  athletic, or I'm bendy or on this. Playing fast is also tied to
• 1:55:40
  how you process. Playing fast is tied to your ability to recognize or identify
• 1:55:45
  something pre snap right, you don't have to be the fastest guy. If
• 1:55:48
  you know where the ball is going, you know the angles to take,
• 1:55:50
  or if you're so great at processing post snap boom, you can diagnose and
• 1:55:55
  key in right away and then you can go make a play. The ability
• 1:55:59
  of this builds defense to play fast physically and mentally. Again, I think
• 1:56:02
  you have to tie that back to Sean McDermott, what he's done or what
• 1:56:05
  he's doing from a preparation standpoint, and the schematic piece to tie it all
• 1:56:10
  together with what he's doing with this group overall. He's just got dudes hitting
• 1:56:15
  on all cylinders. And Milano is an example of it. Although we had
• 1:56:16
  a very good year last year, obviously being an All Pro owner Leslie Fraser,
• 1:56:19
  but the defense looks different, it feels different. Awesome reference r J
• 1:56:25
  saying something they call it ruthless aggression. I thought of putting that in there,
• 1:56:28
  but I didn't know if enough people would get the reference. So I'm
• 1:56:30
  very glad that you did well done, r J. Well, I forgive
• 1:56:34
  you for all the Dorsey slander because of this reference. I appreciate you are
• 1:56:38
  doing very much well done. Yeah, it's just it and it's clean too,
• 1:56:43
  again, like it's just fast, clean, good aggressive football. It's
• 1:56:46
  physical, but it's not dirty. There's nothing wrong about it. It's just
• 1:56:50
  good, clean, fast, physical football. But it continue to say that
• 1:56:55
  and echo those words over and over again. And I think it stems from
• 1:56:59
  Sean McDermott, what he's doing schematically, how he's got them prepared weekend and
• 1:57:02
  week out. Their ability to execute post snap. Just what they're doing is
• 1:57:06
  tremendous, and it's you know, reflected in several of the plays we showed
• 1:57:11
  here and in several of the players throughout the year. On the other side
• 1:57:13
  of the ball, myself and Eric are going to be breaking down the Bills
• 1:57:15
  offense tomorrow night on the film room. So I don't want to hit too
• 1:57:18
  many pieces right now in disguise coverage, but Ken Dorsey deserves another pad on
• 1:57:23
  the back. I just want to talk about two plays. I posted them
• 1:57:25
  both on Twitter. At the first touchdown to Gabe Davis. Everybody's been kind
• 1:57:29
  of knocking the usage of Deontay Hardy. What does Ken Dorsey do sends him
• 1:57:31
  in orbit motion? They faked the swing pass to Deontay Hardy, a play
• 1:57:34
  that they've run several times this year already gave Davis slow plays it like he's
• 1:57:41
  blocking. Alan Pump fakes it hard, did the swing, Gabe Davis takes
• 1:57:44
  off touchdown to Gabe Davis, later the touchdown to Stefon Diggs, the one
• 1:57:48
  in the low red zone on Kator Coohu, who had a rough day Bills.
• 1:57:54
  They love that run action and that glance route off the run action or
• 1:57:58
  that RPO with the glance route is fond Diggs. Diggs faces it but ends
• 1:58:01
  up popping back out. Cohu is completely confused. He thinks it's going to
• 1:58:05
  be that inside glance piece. It's not. Ken Dorsey continuing to We've praised
• 1:58:12
  him on this show and in the film for his ability to tie concepts together
• 1:58:15
  and what he's doing conceptually with route concepts and formations, using it to mitigate
• 1:58:19
  pass rushers, mitigate the defenses strengths, but also using it to help Josh
• 1:58:25
  Allen succeed. Give him easy buttons, give him easy quick read options to
• 1:58:29
  allow him to get into a rhythm and take advantage of what defenses are giving
• 1:58:32
  him, but also and also what he's done in the run game as well.
• 1:58:36
  Just varying the concepts and modes of attack based on opponent's weakness this weekend
• 1:58:41
  and week out. But what I really liked in this game was again just
• 1:58:46
  tying in those pieces of hey, you know, this is usually what we
• 1:58:49
  do out of this team's know that, let's flip it on its head.
• 1:58:51
  And he said something last year which was one of my favorite quotes from him,
• 1:58:56
  and I'm paraphrasing it, but he said something along the lines of you
• 1:59:00
  you need to get your players to understand why you're calling a play. And
• 1:59:03
  sometimes calling a play isn't just to have it work in this moment right now,
• 1:59:09
  it's to get them to understand the bigger pictures. Sometimes you call the
• 1:59:12
  play right now to set something up later in the game. It could be
• 1:59:16
  the next drive, it could be the next quarter, it could be the
• 1:59:18
  end of the game, it could be the following week. But everything connects
• 1:59:23
  and getting your players to understand the reason why you're calling a play in the
• 1:59:27
  moment. And we started to see again more of those pieces from Ken Dorsey,
• 1:59:30
  him using their own keys and their own tendencies against you. What are
• 1:59:35
  using it to flip what Miami would expect in those scenarios, And they got
• 1:59:40
  two touchdowns out of it, So major shout out to Ken Dorsey and within
• 1:59:44
  that, Stefan Das continues to ball out and it's just been an absolute monster
• 1:59:46
  and fiend tying in that with Josh Allen as well continuing to play strong.
• 1:59:53
  After week one. We could be here forever talking about stock up. But
• 1:59:56
  the big highlights from me, Sean McDermott, what he did, dake On
• 2:00:00
  Jones, at Oliver Matt Milano again, and then Ken Dorsey as well.
• 2:00:03
  Just mainly the defense took it home for me this week because of how good
• 2:00:10
  Miami's offense is and how well the Bills defense played, But I wanted to
• 2:00:13
  highlight some offensive pieces as well because they deserve their shine too. A lot
• 2:00:18
  of people deserve their shine. Again, the Bills put out an absolutely tremendous
• 2:00:21
  performance in this game, so major, major, major shout to the honestly
• 2:00:26
  the entire Bills team, which sounds ridiculous but really really was, I should
• 2:00:30
  say, a very very very good, very strong performance from them. With
• 2:00:34
  that being said, with all this band and says too, those folks,
• 2:00:36
  because it is eleven o'clock, I did not realize we gotta get out of
• 2:00:40

• 2:00:50
