  Speaker 1: that one. In this episode of Disguise Coverage, we will
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: be separating the real concerns from the fake for the
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five Buffalo Bills. The Bills coming off their
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: first loss of the twenty twenty five regular season against
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: the New England Patriots at home with the rivalry jerseys
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: and the white out. That was cool and that joy
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: was well not too short lived. But yeah, the Bill's
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: lost and coming from that loss, they're from my vantage point.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: This is funny from RJ, who says I'm a sad
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: panda after that loss. A nice South Park reference. Oh also,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I wanted to grab this awesome reference with Kay Morey
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: who said I tuned in and Sean Hockey threw another
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: flag on the Bills A plus AA plus. I'm gonna
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: be going through a lot of comments here. In this one,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: RJ found up and saying that this was a soul
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: crushing loss. Yeah, there's you know, just I think a
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: disappointing loss, especially knowing the caliber of team that fans
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: hope the bills to be and what we think they
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: can be, and to have this kind of loss the
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: way they look to have it be against the patriot
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: it's the form and fashion that it came in disappointing.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: All around one thousand percent. There are and have been
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: a multitude of questions that have kind of come up
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: around Great comment, James, Great comment James Jameson's nine thirty
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: nine or forty seconds. You may hear a Honda roaster
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: thrown like up as passes your window. I had nothing
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: to do with it. And then a bike eboji for
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: those who don't know. I keep having this luck of
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: motorcycles riding by anytime I do any show, whether it's
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: here or the film room, and it's just constant. I
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: actually heard one faintly in the distance right now, So
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: well done James on that one. Yeah, there's been a
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: multitude of questions that have come up around the bills,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: or surrounding the bills since they're lost to New England,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: and I thought it would be fun to kind of
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: address several of those tonight, especially because I feel like
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: several of them have been prevalent last year with this team.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: This year with this team. But as the old saying goes,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: winning cures everything. And I think several of the issues
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: that Bills had in this game are you know, and
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I say issues in quotes, right, For as much as
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: this loss sucked, right and how everyone kind of feels.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: They turned the ball over three times, including interception in
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the red zone from Josh Allen. They committed a multitude
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: of penalties. They had several questionable decisions from Josh Allen.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Like there was a lot of ugliness, There was more mistackles,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: just a lot of things you don't want to see.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: They struggled to run the ball in the multitude of ways,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: and they still barely lost. Like they lost by three.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I know there's no silver linings. This isn't to say
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: that it's a moral victory or anything like that. But
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I say all that to say, you know, the issues
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: that they have are issues, and I think they're fair.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: This is still a very good football team. No team
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: is perfect, no team is without issues. But several of
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: the issues and things we're gonna be talking about tonight
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: are things that I think we're prevalent when they were
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: four and oh, are things that I think were prevalent
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: to a degree last year as well, including one or
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: two big ones, and I think they are largely glossed
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: o by the fact that the Bills were winning even
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: one of them. And you know, I'm gonna keep it
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: brief now before we really dive into it. You know,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I mentioned the deep ball piece during the Miami game,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: and I got so many people that were coming at
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: me because they were like, they're fine, they're three and zero.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: They don't need that. Everything is sunshine and rainbows. It's great.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Joe Brady, you know, mentioned some stuff the next day
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: about Alan, you know, taking what the defense gives them.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Alan mentioned that people were quote tweeting it left and
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: right and making jokes about, you know, they don't need
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the deep ball, and you know, oh, but like how
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: can they win if they don't throw deep ha ha,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: And then they lose a game and everybody swings the
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: pendulum the other way and they're like, well, because they
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: can't throw deep, this offense sucks fire. Joe Brady, the
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: pendulum swing of emotions is wild, and so I think
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: that kind of putting things into perspective tonight in this episode, Oh,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I gotta stop. So we got super chat Brad, thank
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: you so much for being here. There's a motorcycle. I
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: don't know if anybody heard it. There it is. We're
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: already at five minutes in and we got one. Thank
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: you very much for being here, Brad. Thank you for
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the super chat. Brad says, I'm putting this game in
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the WTF loss bucket. They always have one to two
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: a year around weeks four to six, then find their
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: way back. It is annoying that these losses seem to
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: always affect the standings, though, I think that's very fair.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: You know, it's a conference loss, it's against the Patriots.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Patriots fans were really loud coming into this week. Motorcycle
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: never fails. Patriots fans were really loud coming into this
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: past week. I think the Patriots themselves were feeling a
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: bit confident, and so that adds up to this or
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I think adds some more like fuel to the fire
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: from an emotion standpoint. You lose this game, you lose
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: it in ugly fashion. It's a Sunday night primetime game.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: It's the white out, it's all this you know, cool atmosphere.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: It's the last game against the Patriots. Had high mark
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: or the row for rich Stadium, whatever you want to
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: call it, and the Bills just lose and it's an
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: ugly loss, really sloppy. And yeah, then on top of that,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: it's against a division opponent, it's against the conference opponent,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. So yeah, it I feel
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: you on that. But you know, to your point, they
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: always seem to have a loss every year where it's like,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: how did you lose that game or how did you
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: lose to this team? And who knows, maybe from here
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: on out the Patriots will be a juggernaut and it's like, oh,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: it makes sense that you lost, you know, close game
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: to a really good team, or maybe the Patriots fall
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: apart and it's like it looks even worse. It's like
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I can't believe you lost that game to that team.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I think this loss has put potential things
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: a little you know, put fallen apart already has put
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: several things potentially more into focus for folks. And I
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: would say, as we get into everything tonight, one, I
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: don't have any film planning for this episode, largely because
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the NFL is cracking down like crazy and it's a
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: lot to jump through. All the hurdles of copyright, and
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: getting dinged in all this kind of stuff. But also
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I just didn't have time to put film together. I've
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: had a crazy, hillaciously busy last five or six days
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: and standing into the rest of this week. So apologies
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: for that. No film in this one, more high level discussion.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: And I also thought too, coming off this loss and
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the emotions around it again going back to where was
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: it ourjsay and this was a soul crushing loss, I
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: thought it'd be more fun to have this episode be
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: born interactive, more back and forth to each other, back
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: and forth with myself and you know how we normally
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: do here on the show. I know we still do
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: that from a film perspective, but I know I can't
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: get to as many comments and make it as engaging
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: when I'm going through the film and illustrating everything. So
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I thought we'd make this very interactive, but I want
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: before we dive in everything, I do want to preface
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: all of this. And this isn't me being preachy or
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: like giving advice or policing anyone, but it's just it
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: is very funny to see like one thing can happen
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: during a win and no one cares about it, and
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: then the same thing happens during a loss, and it's
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: under a microscope and the sky is falling and everything
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: is terrible, and just even seeing how seeing the nature
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: of Joe Brady be a fan favorite one week and
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: everybody's laughing and joking about everybody eats and the deep
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: ball and all that kind of stuff and ha ha ha,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: and then people are calling for his head this week,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: especially after the flea flicker. The flea flicker, the lack
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: of you know, play action at times, and the lack
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: of a deep ball and the roster building. Brandon Bean's
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: gotta go. But the week prior it was man another
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: gem was found in Dorian Strong. Now it's the opposite
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: this week, and Brandon Bean has to get fired. The
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: pendulum swinging of emotions. It's not healthy from a mental
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: standpoint or from an emotional standpoint, but you know, teach
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: their own and God bless uh you know those are
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: you whatever side you choose, But go to dive into
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the comments and then we're gonna get into the points here.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Bo I appreciate you as always cecil rocking you know,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: in the future essentially, but saying yeah, it's painful loss,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: and it's also two am here. I appreciate you rocking out.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: DJ says it's not gonna be that bad. Guys have
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: hope the chat. That's fair this time, Bob said. Earlier
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: he says this is gonna be painful, and you need to
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: figure out if him having tear coffee and Seasonless said
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: coffee and then he said, actually vodka. That's fair. That's
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: fair by Bob saying, yeah, I can handle a bad game.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: It's just that it was against New England. I also
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: think that tends to for me. It's kind of a
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: bit of both. Right, it's against New England, which sucks,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: but division games tend to be difficult. Even if your
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: division sucks, there's always some team or some combination of
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: teams give them the familiarity. And we talked about it
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: a bit last week going into this game. Not only
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: do you have familiarity because it's Patriots for his Bills,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: but Vrabel and all his experience and familiarity from his
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: time in Tennessee against the Bills as the head coach.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels and the multitude of experience he has against
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the Bills even though again different teams, different regimes, all
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. There's just a lot of familiarity
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: between Bills and Patriots and division games in general. So yeah,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: it's also it's kind of relieving because it's like, eh,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: you know, it's against the division team. Those games are harder,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: but it's also more annoying because the division game and
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: it's the Patriots. Oh fair comedy from joeys saying two
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: straight losses of the Patriots, I definitely am in the
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: mood for some therapy. I forgot that they lost the
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: second game last year, the Joe the Joe Milton game
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: that got him, you know, baller status, and shipped out
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: to Dallas cecil saying it was a rough game, all
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the mistakes in the back seven pass coverage. Anyone but Diggs.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I I'm not gonna talk about this too much, but
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I do. There's been so many people kind of dancing
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: on the grave of Sefon Diggs and talking about how
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: he's washed and putting out the pictures of him, you know,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: dropping that pass like the deep pass against the Chiefs
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: in the division around two years ago, and how bad
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: he's been. And I really thought that was unfairly characterizing
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: what he was as a player his last year with
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: the Bills and what he still was capable of a
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: play as a player. And it's just horribly and painfully
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: kind of poetic or and or ironic that he came
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: in and just balled out against the most And you
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: know what, he looked good for Houston last year before
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: he actually not before he got hurt. Yeah, no, yeah,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I mean looking for Houston before he got hurt with
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: the Texans. But then he was good in that game
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: against the Bills, and I know, people like, oh is it.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: You know, he's got it out for the Bills and
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: he's really ratching in things up. I just think Steffan
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Diggs is still a good player, and that's with him
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: coming off the torn a cl from last year and
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: still essentially kind of working his way back. But yeah,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: I think that made it even more painful. Right, like
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Diggs just right from the jump, balling out looking like
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: he had juice, a little spring in his step, pep
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: and his step. It's unfortunate. It's unfortunate. Bom bom bom. Joey,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: you said, why didn't we double him? More than half
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: of May's passyards were to Diggs. I think it was
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: a lot of it really was. The way they were
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: using him. You know, you had play action tying it
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: into him, like selling like he's gonna run a drag
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: and then he pops back out and runs a whip route.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: You had the really nice off script play to him,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: uh where May is stiff arming Dae Kwon Jones and
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: May just gets it off the digs and shack Thompson
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: takes too shallow of it or too upfield of an angle,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Digs breaks free. You have the playoff script behind Trey
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: White for Diggs. You have the quick little underneath completion
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: to Digs on a blitz and cold Bishop misses the tackle,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: and there's a lot of run after catch for him.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Aside from that, I thought a lot of you know,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the coverages worked well against him. You know, Benford had
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: some good reps against him in man end zone, Trey
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: White hads some good reps against him in man in zone.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: But Diggs is still a good player. He's able to
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: find soft spots, he understands angles, he understands leverage, and again,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: he's still got more juice than I think a lot
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: of Bills fans wanted to acknowledge when he essentially kind
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: of sent himself packing to a degree. A couple of
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: seasons ago, James said, even when you switch up days
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: in regular airtime schedules, they know these bikers, they know it.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I really do think there's just a bunch of bikers
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: outside just like staring at the room, like waiting for
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: the light to come on in my office so they
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: can be like, here we go, boys, and just like
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: rev them up and there we go. Archer saying the
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: team played bad, but also Sean Hockeyley hates the Bills
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: and hates his in all caps. It's eye popping with
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: the win loss record of one to five and the
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: penalty differentials plus twenty nine for those games. Yeah. I
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: also saw that Hockey was the in that game against
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Philly a couple of years ago when Alan got horse
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: collared and they didn't call that, but they also called
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Alan for intentional grounding on that same plays. I always
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: think like that stuff's kind of coincidental, but maybe also
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: not when it comes to Hockey League. Really good comment
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: here from Kamore, and I think this is a good
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: theme and something to keep it in your heads for
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: the entirety of this episode. I'm really going forward. It
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: might be cope, but thirty one other teams are still
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: finding their identity, and tons of other teams are finding
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: ways to win or lose or win slash lose with
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: their awards. No team good or bad, you know, maybe
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: excluding some teams like the Giants and even Titans or
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: who knows, But no team good or bad knows who
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: they are right now. As we just started start October,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: we just got through week five. There's a ton of
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: football left. You really don't want to start, You really
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: don't not even want to, but you really don't start
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: hitting your stride until mid November, end in November, really
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: into December. Like five weeks are hugely important, even though
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: the Bills comes early this week after they play Atlanta
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: next week, which just sucks. I hate it early by
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: but self scouting course correction even more so with Bills,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: like the multitude of injuries they've had on defense, Ogunjobi
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: and Hoit being out with suspension, I am still very
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: interested to see what the finished product quote unquote looks
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: like for the Bills this year. I think that also
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: ties into a lot of my frustrations, because I do
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: have issues and frustrations with this team, tying into several
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: pieces that I talked about all off season. But the
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: objective side of me and the devil's advocate side of
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: me knows that you know, they're sample size issues, but
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: also injuries and not being whole has potentially played a part,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: especially on the defensive side of the ball. So it's
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: also frustrating to kind of analyze them at this point,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: which makes me more frustrated than I'm frustrated because I
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: really can't get a full sense or full picture right now.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: But yeah, everybody's got words. No team is perfect. Everybody
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: has an issue or a multitude of issues. Some are
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: fatal flaws, some are things you can mitigate. No team
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: is perfect this year, any year, all sports, any sport.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: It's that's very very fair, very fair common here. Saying
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: take what they give you, quote unquote is just another
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: way of saying, do what they want you to do,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: which is just dumb. I don't think that's necessarily that.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, Tom Brady made a career off of taking
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: what they what defenses give you, and I think it's
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: more take what they give you in terms of if
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: they're giving you easy yards and completions, take those easy
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: yards and completions. It could be a checkdown. It could
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: be something in the seam, it could be something outside
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: the numbers, It could be a variety of things. I
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: think take what they give you is more of they're
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: playing to protect certain areas, but they're vulnerable in others.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: So you keep attacking them in those areas that they're vulnerable.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: But you know, teach their own with their points. Good
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: comment here from Cecil, and this is something we're talking
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: about this episode. He's just saying, the Pats have great corners.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: The best thing to do is throw over the middle
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: to their tight ends or running backs. Yeah, we're going
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: to talk about kind of who the Pats are, what
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: the Pats are, and how that's a microcosm of things
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: that can give the Bills offense problems. M claud says,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: three turnovers, twelve penalties, and if there's two minutes left,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I bet they win the game. The problem isn't that
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: they lost the game. The problem is they've been losing
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: this game for three straight years. Fair Aiden with a
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: comment of our question, are the problems in the secondary
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: fixable for this season? That's one of the points we're
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: going to get into tonight. Oh Peter says Brady needs
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: to get his Hubris dialed back and dial up the creativity.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: You know what's funny is I wonder how many other
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: people echo that because he got ripped on social media
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: for calling that flea flicker, which I thought was creative,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: especially because it was built off of that blast count
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: or yf that I really like that they've been running
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: and they went with it early. They've run the ball
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: straight up with it twenty one personnel offset or strong
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: eye formation, send pause in that blast motion, bring gillium.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Oh that's been really nice. And they showed that and
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: ran a flea flicker out of it, which I thought was,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: you know, a nice little layering piece to that run.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: But yeah, a lot of people rip Brady for that,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: compared it to the flea flicker against Baltimore last year
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: and how bad that went. Then the Bills ran that
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: blast counter why have traditionally a couple times later in
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: the game of the patch just snuffed it out, But
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: they snuffed the runout a ton in this game, which
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: we're going to talk about. DJ says, I don't buy
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: the Patriots as contenders. Let them win at least three
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: or four straight. That's fair, Okay, okay, okay. Connor saying
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: it's only one game, but some of the things in
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: this game looked really, really bad. That's fair. Oh, Joe
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: says it's eerily similar to the Ken Dorsey discourse from
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: two seasons ago, not comparing the two at all, but
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: feels like there are constants for oc quote unquote evaluation
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: that people run to in a bad game. Yeah. I
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: think that's super fair Joe. For the record, and I
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: think most of you who watch the show regularly know,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of blame got laid at Ken
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Dorsey's feet that was not necessarily his fault. I think
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey was better than he got credit for. I
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: also don't think Joe Brady is as immaculate and it
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: is as amazing as a lot of people make him
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: out to be, though I do think he's good and
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: I do like his fit here. I do think there
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: are certain qualms that I have with Brady, but it's
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: always that nothing is ever holistically bad or good. But yeah,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: it's funny how people run to the kind of the
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: same mediums or the same it's the same type of
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: lightning rods to kind of channel their frustration and anger
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: when things happen. Well said James, your commitment in the
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: chat to the motorcycle bit. I like it. I like
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: it a lot. I like it a lot. Comment here
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: and talk me off the ledge. What do the analytics
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: say about our receiver separation. I'm gonna lead off with
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: this in a minute, So stay tuned. We're gonna go
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: We're gonna go through that. We're gonna start it off
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: ba ba ba. By commenting from Andrew, Andrew, you said
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: most of the bill's content creators were all saying he
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: was washed in the back half of twenty twenty three.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Or who are we talking? Are we talking about? I'm
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out this is at nine to twelve
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: eight minutes talking about Diggs. I'm guessing you're talking about Diggs.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I personally was not. I was not saying he was washed.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: But to each their own, Oh, I disagree with this,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Connor saint Man, Diggs was always a first half of
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: the season type of player. No, I disagree, and I
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: don't want to make this a Digs episode. But that
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: back half of twenty twenty three, he's still showing a
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: lot of juice. I mean, he showed up big in
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: that game in Miami for them to win the division
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: and beat Miami in Miami the last game of the
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: regular season. He still had a bunch of juice that year.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: I know everybody kind of rote him off and the
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: whole everybody eats thing and it tied in. I disagree
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: with this, but again to each their own. What else?
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: What else? What else? Well, there's a lot of come
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: I should have known. There's a lot of comments. I
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: feel like I made the mistake of going so a
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: comment heavy. All right, I see a lot of them. Okay,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: let's start with the first points here for kind of
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: separating the real from the fake for the twenty twenty
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: five Buffalo Bills. And I just realized a little peak
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: behind the curtain. I didn't create like a banner for
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: the bottom there. So there, let's stow that up there
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: so it matches. The first thing we're gonna start off
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: with related a little bit to some receiver separation metrics.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about the Bills deep ball. I'm
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: gonna start out with metrics. We're gonna have a conversation
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: about it. Questions, thoughts, commons, concern has always put him
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: into the chape. We're gonna start out with the Bills
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: deep ball. I tweeted these out on What's Day Tuesday.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: I tweeted these out yesterday. Josh Allen in twenty twenty
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: five on deep throws And for those who don't know
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: deep throws deep ball, those are quantified as throws of
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: twenty or more air yards. So Josh Allen in twenty
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: twenty five on deep throws. This is out of thirty
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: three quarterbacks. He's twelfth in attempts, but the attempts are
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: kind of more volume based. Obviously, He's twelfth in attempts,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: but twenty fourth in EPA for drop back, twenty second
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: in EPA second in time to throw at four point
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: one to eight seconds. That means he's holding the ball
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: a while twenty eighth in average target separation at one
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: point four yards twenty seventh and rating at forty nine
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: point nine, twenty fourth in yards per attempt not like
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: averaged up the target yards per attempt, that means like
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: completions and completions like average yards per attempt whatever. The
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: result is twenty fourth at ten point one and he's
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: ninth in completion rate over expected at plus five point
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: two percent. Now let's go to twenty twenty four again,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen deep throws twenty or more air yards last
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: season out of thirty five qualifying quarterbacks, So this time
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: thirty five twenty twenty five right now was thirty three
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, there was thirty five qualifying qbs. He
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: was second in attempts and third in deep throw rate
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: at thirteen point seven percent twenty first in EPA per dropback,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: sixteenth in EPA, first in time to throw at four
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: point two one seconds, twenty eighth in average target separation
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: at one point six twenty ninth and rating at sixty
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: nine point six twenty eighth in yards per attempt at
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: ten point five and a significantly worse completion rate over
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: expected at negative one point four percent, So so big
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: numbers to take away there, right, and especially from similarity perspective.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: He's second in time to throw on deep passes this
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: year at four point one eight seconds. He was first
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: in the league last year at four point two to one,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: so extremely high. Top two this year, first last year,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: four point one eighth this year four point two to
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: one last year, so roughly the same kind of thing
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: towards the bottom of the league and average target separation
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: on deep throws last year and this year twenty eighth,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: this year twenty eighth, last year one point six, last
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: year one point four. Average target separation in terms of
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: yards this year. Completion rate over expected big difference there
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: again ninth this year at plus five point two percent,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: twenty third last year negative one point four. So completion
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: percentage over expected or completion rate over perspective or over
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: expecting case you don't know essentially is you know they're
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: calculating of those throws that are made, how often are
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: they being completed. That's the baseline. How often you're completing
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: those throws in those similar situations, plus or minus whatever
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: it is, right, So for someone who doesn't have a
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: lot of average target separation and a higher completion rate
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: over expected, that means someone's really on point with their throws.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Someone who has a lower completion rate over expected or
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: completion percentage over expected, someone who's got guys open, they're
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: not making the throws. Now what I want to say,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: So there's those numbers. I want to say several things
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: on the deep ball because, like I mentioned, I tweeted
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: something about this during the Miami game and after the
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Miami game, and I talked about it all offseason, the
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: need for verticality in this offense and why it was
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: needed for the past game, but more importantly, why it
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: was needed to supplement the run game or help the
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: run game and prevent defenses from kind of doing what
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to end up doing based on
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: how the season goes. But I want to say this,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: So the struggles and the numbers you see there, right,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: So not good numbers for EPA per dropback, not good
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: in terms of total EPA, not good in rating, you know,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: not great in yards per attempt, all that kind of stuff, right,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: The struggles were a combination of things. One, going back
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: even to twenty twenty three. The reason I didn't include
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty three numbers is because Dorsey got fired
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Joe Brady took over. Even though Brady was running the show,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: it was still Ken Dorsey's offense. So I wanted to
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: include the two years that were holistically Joe Brady. That's
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: why we did twenty twenty four and twenty twenty five.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: But going back to even twenty twenty three, if you
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: want to take the last three years or two in
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: a quarter, with where we are in twenty twenty five,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen hasn't been very sharp with the deep ball.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: That was part of my ironically or not part of
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: my argument with Stefon Diggs or defending Stefon Diggs in
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, because everybody was dragging in for that
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: drop against the Chiefs, but nobody seemed to drag Allen
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: at all for all the overthrows and underthrows to Digs
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: throughout that season. There were a multitude of games against
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: the Jags against the Patriots where Diggs was beating guys
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: over the top end was open and Alan was either
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: overthrowing him. I'm talking like three four yards type of
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: separation where Alan was overthrowing him for incompletions or Alan
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: was underthrowing it and Diggs was having to come back
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: to the ball. He really fixed his deep ball issue,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: so it really fell off the last like several years,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: and then we obviously have the numbers from twenty twenty
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: four and twenty twenty five. Now he's also been banged
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: up a bit these past several years, especially in the arm,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if that type of angle, that
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: type of trajectory, the torque that he has to put
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: on the deep ball, maybe he was having physical discomfort.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: There's a multitude of variables that could be the reason.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: But again we're trying to figure out we're talking here about, like, oh,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: you know, struggles with the deep ball. One piece of it. Again,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: it's not one holistic thing. It's not all on Alan,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: it's not all on Brady, it's not all on the receivers.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: It's a multitude of various pieces, right, But it starts
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: off with Alan just being a bit off going deep
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: last year and this year, but again focusing on this
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: year too. Josh Allen doesn't have burners at wide receiver,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: which I'm sure everyone knows and everyone's talking about at
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: this point now, right, you don't have these traditional field
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: stretchers at the wide receiver position, especially at the top
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: of the depth chart. If your argument is yeah, well,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: like Elijah Moore can fly or Curtis Samuel can fly,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: I recognize what both of their time speeds are. I've
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: said this really for the past couple of years. I
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: don't think Curtis Samuel plays as fast as as forty
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: times indicates. I think he has some juice. I don't
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: think he's this straight up field stretcher, though he can
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: get vertical. Elijah Moore, I think is in a similar boat.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: I think he's more stop start quickness and bursty than
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: he is a field stretcher. But even with those two guys, right,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel and Elijah Moore are not your top of
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: the depth chart wide receivers. Your top of the depth
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: chart wide receivers are Josh Palmer, Kean Coleman, Khalis Shakir.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Shakira is awesome. Not a field stretcher. And again I
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: say all this to say like is like horrible negatives, like, well,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: this guy is in fest this guy isn't a burner.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: This guy is in a field stretcher. That's not necessarily awful.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: It is what it is. It's what their skill sets are.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Shakir is not a downfield like burner. He's not a
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: field stretcher. He's a separator from a route running perspective,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: and he's like a running back. Once he gets the
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: ball in his hands, he is secure, hands, tough yards,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: run after catch, physical, elusive contact. Balance. Dude is awesome, right,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Kean Coleman enough said, not a field stretcher, not a burner.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: If he's making plays vertical, it's because the ball's getting
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: thrown up for a jump ball snare, or it's a
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: back shoulder throw, and he is playing like a power
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: forward downfield. He's scraping rebounds off the glass, or he's
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: using his size and frame and athleticism to win. It's
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: not him outrunning dudes, it's him twenty twenty five yards downfield,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: kind of in lockstep with someone and Alan putting in
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: the spot where Kean can go up and make a play.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: And then there's Josh Palmer, who I like coming into
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: this season. I still do like him. I think he's
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: a nice complimentary piece in making the receiver room hole.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: I do think the contract was a bit rich, but
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: also that's kind of what the market value was too too.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: At Well got a one year, ten million dollars deal
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: with the Rams. The wide receiver market is just kind
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: of booming a bit with what you're paying for, So unfortunately,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: I think the Bills had to dip a little bit
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: more into the fund in order to bring Josh Palmer in.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: But what I said all off season, I said it
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: on social I said it here. Josh Palmer can win vertical,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: but when he does, it's usually due to the scheme
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: or the concept or his deception in his routes and
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: in his stems. He is very good at deceiving defenders,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: especially a man coverage, with his stem work, making you
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: think he's going out when he's going in, making you
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: think he's gonna throttle down when he keeps going, making you,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: you know, stacking you, and making you think he's going
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: outside then inside, or inside then outside. He has a
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: really good feel for leverage. He's a good route runner,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: but he's a separator and I've labeled him all off
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: season he's a separator underneath in the intermediate. I know
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: a lot of people were thrown out the metrics for
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: him in this offseason. There was certain things that were
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: saying that like he was like the fourth best deep
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: threat last year or over his career with the Chargers.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: A whole bunch of data that was like, man, he's
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: a burner. He's a great deep threat, and I think
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: the data was being conflated with him being a field
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: stretcher in the traditional sense. And if you go back
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: and watch the tape, you know, especially from twenty twenty four,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: his deep targets are him if he's winning or he's
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: getting opened downfield, it's either with you know, deception, it's
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: like a double move or him kind of you know
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: a stutter go and getting past somebody, or it's off
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: of you know, a blown coverage. You know there's one.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: The one that comes to mind immediately form is the
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: one against Cleveland. Denzel Ward is on him and for
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: whatever reason, Denzel Ward like just lets him go. His
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: eyes are in the backfield. He starts to kind of
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: throttle down a bit, and Palmer just burns past him
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: and is wide open in the front of the end
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: zone for like a thirty or forty yard touchdown pass
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: from just and Herbert because it's just a blown assignment. Again,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Palmer puts himself in those scenarios. This isn't to take
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: anything away from him, but I say all that to
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: say as another part of you know, struggles deep. The
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Bills don't have a true field stretcher or deep threat
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: in the traditional sense. And again, even if you want
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: to say that Samuel is that guy and or Elijah
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Moore is that guy, those aren't the top of the
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: depth chart wide receivers. Those are the guys who are
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: more specialized potentially, And if you have guys that are
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: specialized with that skill set. When you put them in
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: the game, it's a potential tendency giveaway, it's a potential tell.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: So if you have verticality or field stretching ability, and
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: the guys at the top of your depth chart, those
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: guys that are seeing more snaps and regular snaps, who
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: knows what they're going to do on this play? Are
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: they going to block? Are they going to run a screen?
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Are they gonna run a drag? Are they gonna run
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: a cross? Or is it going to be a nine?
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Is it going to be a post? Is it going
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: to be a hitch? Is it going to be an out?
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: There's more things you have to account Whereas if you
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: put Curtis Samuel in there and it's a tight, condensed formation,
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: your alarm bells going off of the defense and being like,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: all right, man, here comes a shot, like keep an
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: eye out for the shot, like community like communicate, watch out,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: let's see. Is he gonna push verticals? Is he gonna
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: run the post? He's gonna try and run away from us?
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: In some regard right now, you can still do things
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: off of that as an offensive coordinator and play designer.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Right it's all the chess match that is football, Like
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: we know that they know that, we know what they know.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: So then it's kind of like, Okay, you think we're
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: gonna send Samuel deep. Okay, we're gonna send him on
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: something that looks like he's going deep. We're gonna send
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: him on a vertical stem, but he's gonna hitch up
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: at nine, or we're gonna send him across the field
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: like he's running to drag and he's gonna put his
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: foot in the ground and want to run a whip
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: rout and pop back outside like he did on that
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: first third down conversion against the Saints last week. So
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: there are ways around it. There is some mitigation, but holistically,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: when you look at this wide receiver room, it's not
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: a group of burners or field stretchers and the guys
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: that do have that skill set or that trait that element.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: It's more the bottom of the depth chart guys. So again,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: combination of struggles with the deep ball. It's alan being
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: a bit off the past several years. It's not having
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: traditional burners or field stretchers or deep threats at wide receiver.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: That's two points. The third point I think Josh Allen
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: has made a conscious decision to be more efficient and
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: take care of the ball. Whether it's direction from Joe Brady,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: whether it's direction from Allen himself, whether it's because he
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: did that podcast or whatever with Tom Brady a little
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: bit in the and Brady talking to him about taking
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: the profit and I was always checking it down and
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: I was doing this and taking what the defense gave me.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Or if it's Alan, you know, he mentioned it in
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: the little clip with the mccordy during the Sunday night
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: game where he talked about all the interceptions he threw
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: against New England in twenty eighteen or whatever. He was like, oh,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: maybe it's me, and he decided to rain himself in
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: a little bit. I think he's made more of a
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: conscious decision to be more efficient with the ball, take
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: care of the ball, take what the defense gives him,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: keep this offense on track, Lean into the run game,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: lean into his athleticism, take the explosives if they come
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: with play action or you know, RPO runs with pass
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: tags and again, all of this idea of taking the
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: profit and having these easy buttons. I think he's made
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: more of a conscious decision to be more efficient and
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: take care of the ball. Deep ball throws are inherently
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: low percentage, and they're much lower than throwing the ball
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: to Shakir on first down for a five yard hitch.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: There's been some opens opens, There's been some routes that
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: have been opened deep and Allen doesn't even get to
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: them because he sees someone come open at six and
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: he's like, oh cool, I'm taking the six. Now. Could
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: he have held the ball another half second to a
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: second and take taking the shot for twenty five or
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: maybe thirty? Sure, but depending on the down and distance situation,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: he's going to take six yards on first and ten,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: and then you're in second and four, and you've got
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: this great run game. You could probably run for five
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: or six yards on second down, or at worst run
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: for three, and then it's third and one and then
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: you can push the pile on third down and get
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: the first down. He's become very good at keeping this
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: offense on track and on schedule, and I think not
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: in a negative way. I think that comes when if
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: you can't be the deep shot, want blood type of
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: guy and necessarily be the efficient, keep everybody on task
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: and on track type of guy, it's hard to balance
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: that Yin and that Yang. So I think some of
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: it is Alan being off deep. I think some of
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: it is not having traditional burners or field stretchers a
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: wide receiver. I think some of it is Alan making
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: conscious decisions to be more efficient and take care of
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: the ball. I wanted to go back to where is this,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: Captain with the question you're saying, I'm sorry, I'm confused.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Are we putting the deep ball or lack thereof? And
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: the real concerns or fake concerns bucket, I think this
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: is absolutely a real concern. Sorry, I should have loved
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: with that. Good call. Thank you for that question. I
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: think this is absolutely a real concern. Now, one thing
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about because two of the points
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: that I mentioned, two of the data points that I
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: mentioned with the deep ball metrics that I read off
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: were around target separation. I want to briefly talk about
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: separation data. So, again, even just in saying that target separation,
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: this is only counting separation for players that are targeted.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: It's not measuring a guy that runs a great route
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: and separates but doesn't get the ball because the QB
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: went elsewhere or because the QB got pressured and had
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: to evade, or it doesn't measure if the ball is
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: coming out on time, a receiver could run their route
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: and win and separate, but the quarterback is late, so
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: then at the time of the target, the defender has
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: gotten closer and maybe there's a half yard difference or
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: a full yard difference depending on the corner that they're playing.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: So it doesn't take that into account. It doesn't take
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: into account what the coverage is. So it can be
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: a reference, but I don't think it should be an
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: end all be all. I think we've gotten so obsessed
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: with target separation and did separation and data and data
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: and trying to trying to well, trying to quantify it.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: I think the tape is the best way to quantify it.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: I think when you look at the tape, you have
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: guys that can separate. I do think tying back into
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: this New England game, if you are facing teams that
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: have good and or athletic corners on the outside, this
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: is the same thing I said last year. There they
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: can give the Bills problems because they can go Cover one,
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: which is man coverage, single high, or they can go
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: Cover three, which is zone single high, but can essentially
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: still play out like one on one on the outside,
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: because your dudes are on islands. Teams with good or
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: athletic corners are gonna play single high. They're gonna try
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: and muddy the run, and they're gonna trust their corners
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: to win on the outside versus the Bills wide receivers
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: and Christian Gonzalez is awesome. Carlton Davis is a strong
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: number two corner. They had dudes who played well on
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: the outside. Now the Bill still had some guys that
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: created some separation on some play. You know, a penalty
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: that took a play away. Tyrrel Shavers, broke down Christian
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Gonzalez really nice on an inbreaker on like a ten
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: yard in broke him down, faked, crossed over, separated, really nice.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Josh Palmer separated versus Carlton Davis. Early in the game,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: ball went elsewhere, Alan got pressured, stepped up, ended up,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: hitting kinkate. There's a multitude of things that go into
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: separation metrics and separation data. I do think Palm is
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: a good separator underneath in the in the intermediate. I
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: don't think he's this burner or this vertical threat. I
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: think the best way for the Bills to create chunk
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: plays in the past game and win deep is to
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: get Dalton Kincaid matched up against linebackers and safeties. I
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: think that's the best way because they just don't have
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: the field stretching element at wide receiver. That's kind of
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: my thought now. I say all that to say why
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: I think it's a concern or a real concern at
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: some point, not every week, because again the Bills. The
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Bills are a good football team. They're going to be
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: a contender for the AFC. They're good, They're a good club,
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: They're a good squad. Right, at some point when you
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: play the better teams or teams that can give you
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: problems in some way, like the Patriots did with how
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: they're built right, good run defense, physical upfront, some studs
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: on their defensive line, plus good athletic corners that are
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: cool running one on one or living on islands. Right,
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: at some point, things are going to continue to get
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: tighter and get constricted if you don't win deep. I
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: don't think they have to be you know, an Al
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: Davis dream offense or the air Coriel Chargers from back
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: in the day where they're chucking it downfield. I don't
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: think Josh Allen's averaged at the target on deep balls
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: needs to be like thirty five yards. I don't think
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: they need to necessarily increase the rate, but they do
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: have to start winning deep at some point. I think
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: it's awesome that they've started to win in the intermediate
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: with some passes. Again, I said something very similar to
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: this during the Miami game. At some point you got
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: to hit those deep shots. It is nice to see
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: the intermediate shots and successes coming, especially to Kincaid, especially
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: off play action and how that ties into the run game.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: But they got to get some semblance of verticality in
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: this offense or defense. Is essentially they're going to continue
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: to creep up, creep up, and squeeze this offense and
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: make things tighter for this offense. And you want that
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: as an offense. That's part of what having an awesome
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: run game will do. You want to win fight the
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: defense forward. You want them to been single high and
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: be like you gotta walk a safety down, or you
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: gotta run, blitz and attack us, because then you can
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: kill him deep. You want to invite them forward to
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: stop the run and then kill them deep. But if
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: you don't, everything will get constricted because they're going to
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: start to have bodies for the run, and everything is
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: gonna get tight. And if the Bills can't run the ball,
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: or they struggle to run the ball, that's when things
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: get a little hairy. Because despite the fact that I
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: like the composition of this wide receiver room, I like
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: it for an offense that is built on formation, particularly
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: particularly condensed formations, and that wins with alignment. I don't
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: think this Bill's wide receiver room and pass catching group
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: is built to chuck it thirty to forty times a
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: game then spread it out. I don't think that's who
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: they are. They're built around the run. They are built
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: on making life easy for Josh Allen and allowing him
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: to you know, Okay, it's been a pretty easy game.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: Oh I gotta you know, I gotta go be a
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: mutant for a play. Okay, cool, I can do that.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: Oh I gotta do it with my legs or my
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: arm or both. Okay, cool, I can do that because
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: the whole game has been put on my shoulders. That's
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: not what They're not built again, to chucking around. This
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: isn't the day ball offense from twenty twenty, where they're
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: flinging it forty times a game, and Allen's throwing for
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty to four hundred yards, and you
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: know there's Gigs and Beasley and Brown and there's multitude
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: of weapons. That's not what this offense is. So I
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: think the deep ball is a concern purely from the
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: perspective of until they show that they can win with it,
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: especially deepen on the outside or just threaten people deep
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: in general, and start to hit those shots. Eventually, at
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: some point, teams are going to creep up and creep
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: up and creep up. And it might not matter against
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: some of the worst or the lackluster teams they play
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: on the schedule, but it's probably gonna matter in the playoffs,
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: and it might matter in the wildcard round if they're
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: in the wildcard. It might matter in the division round.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: It might matter in the AFC Championship. I've been saying
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: all this purely from the perspective of the goal for
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: this team is to win a Super Bowl. Right, If
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: you don't have that aspect to your game, the better
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: team that you're going to play in theory, in the
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: playoffs and or in the Super Bowl are going to
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: be able to constrict the run, and then what do
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: you do. Then? Are you like, Okay, now we gotta
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: win deep But if you haven't all year, you got
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: to be able to keep the wolves at bay a
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: little bit. I think they can. I think it's just
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: got to change some things up a little bit. I
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: think it starts with Allen just getting a little bit
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: better with his deep ball accuracy and making more of
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: a conscious decision to attack with some verticality. But on
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: the other side of the coin, it's tough when you
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: don't have guys that are separating a ton deep from
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: a target perspective. But the intermediate shots kincaid or a
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: real boon, I think that does a good job in
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: mitigating some of the quote unquote true deep ball twenty
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: plus air yard throws. I don't think that means this
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: is the death sentence for the offense. I don't think
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: this means the offense is screwed. I just think they
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: need that element that's part of their offense, because then
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: you get to almost about as complete as you can be.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Right if you have a quarterback that's efficient and willing
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: to take what the defense gives you, but it's also
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: able to work the intermediate and is also able to
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: hit some deep shots. And then on top of that,
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: you have a really strong run game and a really
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: good running back. What do you do? What do you defend?
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: If you are the defense, And again, as with a
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: team that runs the ball as their foundation, if you
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: are inviting bodies forward in theory, that makes it harder
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: to run because there's more defenders for gaps that are created.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: So that's when you kill them deep, that's when you
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: kill him with those shots. Also tied into this, I
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: expect Dalton Kincaid. More teams are going to play more
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: single high against the Bills. I expect Dalton Kinkaid to
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: eat if they get that, especially if they get cover
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: one like he should be able to win on crossers drags,
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: be able to sell some of that and make it
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: seem like it's going to be a boot, but it's
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: actually a half boot. He plants his foot in the
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: ground and pops back the other way like Dalton ky
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: k should eat and almost kind of be the tip
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: of the spear in this passing offense in going forward.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: If they're going to continue to see these single high looks,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: which they absolutely are going to. Yeah, but I think
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: the deep ball is a concern just because I think
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: it's a domino effect of if they can't threaten teams vertically,
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: if they can't threaten teams with that, everybody just starts
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: to creep up. Things get a little tighter. Things get
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: a little tighter. Things get a little tighter, and then
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: the run gets tight. The underneath and the intermediate gets tight.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: You got to find a way to stretch that second
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: to third level, or even get behind that third level
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: to stretch right. Push defenders, push defenders, even if it's
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: only one or two a game where you're hitting, or
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: the threat of it, or you hit one every couple,
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: just the semblance or the idea that it exists starts
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: to alleviate a lot of things. Then you can continue
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: to lean on that run game and put defenses into
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: hell because they don't have an answer for anything you
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: can do. Let's see some comments on this. I see
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: you guys going back forth. Charles say, is the problem
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: is Brady didn't utilize more play action and pass out
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: of heavy Look, yeah, I really thought in this game
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: against the Pats, I wanted to see the Bills tight
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: ends matched up against even Spelane but like you know,
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: Giddons and Tavai, like I wanted to see that. I
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: wanted them to be forced to put Maphoo in at
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: linebacker because the tight ends are eating and then you
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: can run at mop Poo a little bit. Yeah, they
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: or even wanted to do to the opposite, like go spread,
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: but go spread to run the ball. I think a
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: lot of it too. You gotta tip your cap to
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: the Pats. Barmore had a good game. I'm gonna talk
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: about that a bit. Barber at a good game. Mitt
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: Williams had a good game. They did some cool things
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: with him, lining him up an edge and letting him
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: beat up tight ends. Harold Landry had a couple of
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: really good plays. He's looked for juvenated since being back
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: reunited with Rabel this year after kind of being written
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: off the past couple of years. To Tennessee, uh Tongo
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: looked good in the middle of the field or in
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: the middle of the defense. I should say, like they,
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: you know, Farmer made some plays. They blitzed and got
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: some pressure. We're gonna talk about that in a bit.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I thought there were some things I thought
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: that were lacking with Brady in this game unfortunately, Oh
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: Sully M josephs. I think Josh getting more consistent and
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: hitting the deep ball, whatever the remedy is, will also
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: help him hit that quote unquote final phase of his
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: development that can sustain into into his older ears. Yeah,
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: it's that's actually a good point too, because at some point,
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: you know, the mutant alien unicorn leg aspect will kind
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: of dissipate a little bit. I shouldn't have even I
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: don't know why I talked to Joe followed up with
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: a good comments said, meaning when his athleticism starts to
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: slow and he needs to start winning more with his
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: mind and arm from the pocket. I think that spot on.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: You know, baseball analogy. I use this all the time.
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: At some point, you know, you can't always throw ninety
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: nine or one hundred or ninety eight. The gas starts
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: to go a little bit, and it's like, okay, you're
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: still throwing ninety four or ninety five, but it's like, okay,
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: can you locate the fastball? Okay? Do you have a
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: change up, you have a curve, you have a slider,
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: do you have a full arsenal the repertoire is or
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: have you always been? Yeah? I just really throw the
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: fastball sixty percent of the time, and that I work
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: a change up in like twenty percent and maybe a
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: curve like a little less than that. Like, No, you
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: need to be able, You need to be a picture
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: once you start to get into your thirties and as
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: you start to get a little bit older. It can't
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: just be flamethrower all the time. And so we'll see
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: what Alan does as he goes forward. But again, even
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: just for this year, you want to be the idea too.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: You want to be as complete as possible. And no
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: team is right. No team has this awesome quick game
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: and this awesome take. What the defense gives you a
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: fishing type of mold, but they can also attack you
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: vertically all the time. But they can also run the ball,
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: and then it's also diverse in their run concepts and
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: also has a good pass protection. Nobody is completely holistic
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: on any one side of the ball. But if you
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: can be strong in some areas and just be good
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: enough in others, or have enough of a semblance of
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: a threat in others, that's where things really come together, right,
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: And that's all I'm looking for. With the Bill's deep ball,
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: they don't need to be a team that takes five
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: to seven deep shots a game and they have to
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: hit you know, three or four of them and just
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: push the ball downfield and push the ball downfield. It's
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: just got to be enough to be a threat in
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: the back of the defense's mind to be like, can
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: we afford to play single high sixty percent of the
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: time this because they might throw it over our head,
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: or they might beat us with this concept, or they
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: might you know, work in this play that we've seen
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: or build off of it in some way. Like it's
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: just how it all ties together. It's just enough to
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: keep defenses honest and not let everything gets super tight
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: and super constricted. Because again, the Bills are gonna see
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: a ton of single high anyway, because of how good
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: their run game is. Teams are going to load the
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: box bring a safety down, whether pre snap or post snap,
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: You're gonna see a ton of that like they did
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: last year. A good question, Kay Morty saying the lack
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: of running back passing game is a bit puzzling is
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: a bit of a puzzling thing. Where did the cook
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: wheel routes from twenty twenty three go. They've been running
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: so that Cook wheel route is the rail route on
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: mesh rail, so they run mesh and then Cook is
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: the wheel or the rail route. That's the first option
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: for Allen. The teams have been covering that up with regularity.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: It was a staple for Joe Brady and this team.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: Defenses have been keying in on it and have been
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: covering up. Whether it's on Cook, whether it's on Ty Johnson.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: They're running that rail route, they're running that wheel and
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: it's it's just covered. Guys are over the top, whether
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: it's Man or its zone. Teams know that it's coming
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: and they're keying in on it, so they're running it.
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: It's just not there and Allen has to go elsewhere
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: or do something else. Pennen says, Kinkate has been murdering
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: the middle of the field and I expect him to
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: continue to do so with all these single high looks.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: He just has to stay healthy. Fingers crossed, fingers cross,
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: fingers cross. Charles's defense is keep the shell over the top,
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: makes it tough to throw the de throw deep with
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: any consistency. Fair, but they're also seeing a ton of
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: single high like they're seeing a bunch of cover one
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: even just in uh, where is it in this game
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: against the Patriots in particular, right the overall in this game,
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: the Patriots were in Cover one thirty two point four
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: percent of the time and Cover three twenty seven point
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: nine percent of the time, So sixty three percent of
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: the time against the Patriots they saw single high and
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: you're gonna get a lot of that again. They were
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: one of the offenses are the most single high last year.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: And part of that is it's twofold, right, you want
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: an extra body in the box to play the run
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: or available to fit the run right, whether he's spinning
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: down post snap, and he's more of a run defender
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: than he is a pass defender. He's part of that
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: spacing and part of that fit. So that's part of it.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: And then the other part of it is you're like,
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: you know what, we got to stop the run. Plus
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: maybe we don't really fear the guys on the outside
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: that much or we'd rather take our chances one on
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: one on the outside rather than having to play the
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: run with the neutral or light box, like those are
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: the options, and defenses are picking the run more so
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: than they are the pass, and I just want them
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: to have to worry about the pass a little bit more,
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: or I want them to be like, you know, instead
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: of only being twenty percent scared of getting beat on
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: the outside, they're thirty percent scared or forty percent scared.
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: Just a little bit to put some more doubt and
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: put some more fear into the back of their minds
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: and increase your odds of limiting tendency, limiting your tendencies
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: and giveaways, and be able to access more of the
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: menu without flipping the page. I see a lot of
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: comments on Johnson gern and Johnson Junior. Yeah, I don't
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: know else what else oh Man's a could comment from
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: DJ you said, man, I hated them jerseys that could
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: barely see the numbers of the players watching it on tape.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: It's frustrating as hell to see the numbers. I know,
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: like what the players look like from a body type
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: perspective and how they look esthetically. It was super hard.
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: It was super hard, And I see several comments coming
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: through to oh It's funny. Captain asked how much were
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: the paths in single high on Sunday. Yeah, I ironically
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: answered that, Yeah, sixty eight point three percent of the
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: time single high overall. Yeah, I do think there is
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: some not predictability, but some lack of variability within the
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: Bills offense at times. And Brady's done a good job
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: traditionally layering on top of his predictive ability and if
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: it's not broke, don't fix it, and then layering on
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: top of that. He just needs to continue to do so.
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: And we'll see, we'll hope. Next piece that I want
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: to mention, huh, we are going to talk about the
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: defense as a whole. Part of this I think isn't
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: a real concern. Part of it I think is a
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: real concern. The run defense, I think is a real concern.
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: I know it's not the huge takeaway from this game
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: against the Patriots, and I will say that I thought
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of their run fits were better from an
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: integrity standpoint, I think we got a defense that had
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: bodies for every gap and played them accordingly. You didn't
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: have multiple guys in the same gap, you have guys
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: playing double teams. Well, you had some issues just supposedly
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: on the interior, like no disrespect to Zion logo for
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: Darien Mathis, but they saw a significant chunk of snaps
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: in this game that shouldn't be the regular occurrence like
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: you're expecting Ed Oliver and Larryogunjoby and TJ. Sanders and
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: guys like that inside. And the Pats also aren't a
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: really good running offense. Their passing metrics were good coming
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: into this game. They're probably even better coming out of it,
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: especially for Drake May like he was. You know, their
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: passing offense was top four, top ten, and top five
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: in a lot of areas coming into this game, which
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: was a huge shout out to them, and he would
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: boomed to what they were able to do. But yeah,
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: the Pats are pets, aren't a good rushing offense. But
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: I still thought the Bills had to execute in several
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: areas and they did. I still think they're running. The
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: rush defense is a concern. I don't think it's getting
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: talked about enough. It's getting talked about more than it
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: was last year. But against better teams or teams with
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: competent run games, it's still gonna be an issue. They're
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: still getting displaced, they're still getting pushed off the ball,
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: even for the good guys that are inside, like it's
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: happened at times. I know everybody loves Dion Walker, but
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: he's getting blown off the ball at times, although he's
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: ahead of schedule in terms of what I thought he
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: was going to be at this point, so I still
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: graded out overall as a positive. But run defense I
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: still think is going to be an issue for this defense.
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: That being said, in particular with this game, I think
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: this game was a good representation of another issue that
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: I think the defense has still that was a problem
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: last year and I think is still a concern this year.
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: Essentially just the disconnect between the rush and coverage. There
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: were plenty of examples of this with the Pats game.
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: You know you have the whole and also too, I
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: want to mention a lot of this game, like some
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: of the successes in the past were Digs being great
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: and making a play and Drake May being a mutant
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: and making a play. But they do have that disconnect
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: between Russian coverage and they just kind of put some
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: examples into your brain from the Pats game. Think of
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: I think it was the last drive that whole shot
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: to Booty from May where the Bills are running Cover two.
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: They run a little tackle end stunt, a tech stunt
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: to the bottom of your screen. I think it's Daikwon
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: Jones stabs inside Rousseau, loops around him, comes clean into
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: the backfield. Rousseau is in in like two seconds, bears
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: down on May, sticks him. May hits the shot over
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: the top over Trey. White hits booty. Now there's a
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: route underneath May's body language and his eyes look like
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: he could potentially hit that little sit route underneath. Trey
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: hesitates just slightly and we get shot over the top. Also,
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: I mean May's throw to Diggs with Daikwon Jones hanging
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: on to him like they run this like QB bash
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: type of protection. Day Kwon blows it up right away.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: He's in the backfield in an instant. I also see
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: some comments about Daikon. D Kwon's had a good year,
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: especially considered he's been playing a lot of three tech
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: with Ed Oliver out. Daikon I think has largely been good.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: But he barrels in right away, gets in on May,
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: May stiff arms him, and then with Daikwon hanging on,
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: gets it out to Dig. So that's an amazing play
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: from May, but also Daikwon isn't able to get him
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: down two Shaq takes too far of an up field
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: angle on Digs, which allows digs to catch the ball
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: and essentially just turn over his left shoulder and get
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: up field, and and he's wide open and got tons
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: of space. I think some of it with the Patriots game.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: You just have to tip your cap, right, Hey, Drake May,
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: you made to play nice. Hey Stefan Diggs, you made
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: to play nice. But we're seeing still too much of
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: the times where the rush gets home or creates pressure
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: quickly and there's somebody wide open on the back end
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: and it's a completion, and then the opposite the coverage
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: will be good. Nobody gets home, nobody's able to get
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: up front. And I know that happens to teams in general.
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: It's like it happens all across the league, but it
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: feels like it really kills the Bills in big moments.
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: And I thought this Pats game was a really ironic
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: and painful microcosm of that disconnect between the Russian coverage
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: that happened for the Bills a ton last year and
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: that happened a bit this year even hell, I mean
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: even it happened a bit in the Miami game as well,
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: and even the Saints game. To agree, right, guys would
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: get in and get pressure on like third and five
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: and Tua or Rattler would complete something underneath for like
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: six yards and get a first down by yard or
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: get a first down by two yards and things like that.
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: Just that disconnect or you know guys holding their coverage
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: well and you, oh man, that guy held the ball
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: for like four or five seconds. The quarterback says a
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: ton of time, and then you find somebody to throw to.
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: That disconnect I think still exists. And again this is
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: where I'm kind of holding out. Okay, you get ok
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: and Joby, you get at Oliver back, you get Sanders back,
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: you get Michael Hoyite, you get Max Harston, and hopefully
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: that helps a little bit, although I don't think Trey
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: White has been as terrible as everybody's making them out
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: to be. Conversation for a little later in this episode,
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: but yeah, that disconnect just has to go away. They can't.
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: It feels like also they each take turns like letting
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: each other down. Like it's not holistically the rush and
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: it's not holistically the coverage. It's like they alternate, like
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: the coverage lets down the rush. The ruts the rush
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: down the coverage, and they alternate like whose fault? It is,
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: and that makes it even more frustrating, more more frustrating
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: than anything. And even in this game, you know I'm
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: seeing uh, you know, Patton's common he're saying. I thought,
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: over all, the defense looked really good for most of
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: the Patriots game. The offense put them in some absolute,
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: uh not great positions. Very fair. I don't think the
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: defense was horrible. You know, Digs got his, but even
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of Digs getting his was Digs making great
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: plays or May making an unreal play to get him
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: the ball. I thought, on the whole, they and again
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: even I know it's not gonna reflect it. And the
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: chunk plays were bad, and there were some poor coverage moments,
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: but I mean even I think the one the one
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: off script completion to Digs on the sideline from May
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: where they get pressure, it's man coverage pressman from Benford,
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: and he is all over Digs. He jams him, he's
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: got handed him. He peeks into the backfield and see
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: that May, and sees that May starts to roll to
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: his right, and his eyes he's already got hands on days,
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: but his eyes go back to Digs. He's literally attached
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: to him, not even just in his hip pocket. He
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: is attached to Diggs, Digs cells like he's going upfield
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: right and then pops back out onto the sideline right
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: as May throws it, and you get great ballplacement from
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: May and you get it catch from Digs. That was
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: great coverage from Benford for literally ninety seven percent of
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: that rep. You just tip your cap. You do got beat,
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: Like that's it. Now. Would you have liked somebody to,
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: you know, keep containing a little bit better, Yes? Would
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: you like you know, guys to get pressure and then
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: get home and get quarterbacks down for the sack. Yes,
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: But sometimes you just tip your cap. And I think
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of frustrations in this game where you know,
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: you tip your cap to May, you tip your cap
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: to Digs. But there still is that disconnect from a
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: Russian coverage standpoint prevalent in this defense. Not to this
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: isn't just purely reactionary for the New England game. Everything
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: we're saying in this episode is not purely reactionary from
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: the New England game. But I still think that disconnect
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: between Russian coverage is still prevalent, and huh, gotta find
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: a way, Gotta find a way to kind of marry
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: those two things and not go through this chasing your
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: tail situation of each one letting the other down and
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: rotating through those pieces. And then that with the run defense. Again,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: that wasn't a huge takeaway from this game. The run
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: defense didn't get gashed. I was a little worried because
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: the Patriots didn't don't have a good run game, and
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: I was like, if they're able to run the ball
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: in the Bills, that's really rough. But the Bills were
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: gap sound. Who knows what we'll get going forward against
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: better running running teams. Can they still stay that consistent
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: and maintain gap integrity. We will see, We will see,
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: we will see. The next piece that I think is
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: a real concern, but not really anything. I think they
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: can fix the safety play or this safety combinations. And
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: I'll keep it light because I know a lot of
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: people have already flamed Taylor rap in the chat. But
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: I think it's twofold. Really. I think Cole Bishop is improving.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: I think week over week he's still prone to some errors,
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: still prone to some mistakes. I don't think that's a
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: death sentence. I don't think that's terrible. Again, it's more
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: just like he needs time on task and he's developing.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: But then pairing him with Taylor Rapp, who is really
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: regressed as a tackler this year. He's missing a ton
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: of tackles from depth. I know everybody always makes the
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: friendly fire jokes, but he's been very solid with the
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: Bills and in his career, like coming forward and making
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: tackles from depth. And last year I say it on
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: the show all the time, like he saved so many
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: like sixty plus or forty plus. You know, house call
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: runs because of his play, his tackling play coming from depth,
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: whether in two high or single high alignments, and this
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: year you're just not seeing it. His angles aren't great.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: It also looks like he maybe even lost the step,
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: which he didn't really have a step to lose to
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: begin with. So if he's lost a step, that hurts
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: even more. But his angles and his just play at
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: the tackle point is been inconsistent, and that's where he
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: has to be consistent for this Bills team, because he
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: doesn't have the athleticism in the range to make plays
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: on the back end consistently. And then pairing him with
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: Cole Bishop, you're pairing him with a guy who needs
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: time on task and who needs to develop. So you've
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: got this learning ball of clay at one safety and
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: then you've got this not so fleet of foot maybe
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: regressing guy at the other safety spot. It's just worrisome.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: I think that's also part of the reason why they're
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: just playing so deep on so many coverages. Like there's
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: times where they're like twenty five thirty yards deep and
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: there's just so much space between the second and third level.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: And I don't know if that's coaching by design. I
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: don't know if it's the players playing it that way.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: I would assume it's coaching based. And because again, they
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: want to keep everything in front of them, they don't
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: want to get beat over the top. And then you
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: got someone in Cole Bishop who's still learning to see
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: the game from the right way right and process it
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: it quickly and accurately, so you want to give him
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: a little more space. But then also Taylor Rapp is
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: the most again isn't the most fleet of foot, so
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: he doesn't want dudes to get even with him. He
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: needs to maintain steps on a guy so that way
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: he can stay over the top and not get beat
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: behind and get you know, beat behind and have throws
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: go over his head, so they're playing extra deep because
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: of it, which opens things in front again. They want
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: to cap everything anyway. They don't want to allow explosives,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: they don't want to allow verticals from a past perspective.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: So they're already going to make sure they again put
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: a cap on everything. Keep the roof on the defense
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: or on the offense, I should say. But then if
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: you've got guys who are also learning to play the
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: position in the way you want, and then also another
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: guy who isn't the most rangy or athletic type of dude,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: it puts them to kind of you know, play even
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: back a little further. It's just, yeah, the safety play.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: It goes back and forth and ebbs and flows. Again, Rap,
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: I didn't I've talked about the offseason this on. I
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: don't want to bang this stump too much. Like I
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: talked about Rap and Bishop not being the most ideal
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: pairing because of their skill sets and where they are
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: as players. I didn't think they complimented each other tremendously well.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: And then Rap has regressed in his tackling. Hopefully the
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: more sample size we get or the more season we get,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: you know, his mistackle. Rat's start to regress to the
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: mean in a positive way, but it's it's concerning on
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: the back end. And then if you're also pairing that
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: with you know, Trey White, who's been vulnerable at times
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: and Benford who's been vulnerable at times, I also think
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: that's funny too. I'm not patting myself on the back,
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: but so many people yelled at me because I said
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: Christian Benford wasn't a top ten corner hands down, and
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: people yelled at me because I didn't say he was
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: top five. I thought he was on the cusp of
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: top ten, but I had to solidify some things. He's
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: kind of struggled a little bit and been a bit
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: of a letdown, as you know, the quote unquote lockdown
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: guy that he he was pigged to be coming in
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: and even I think he's again I never thought he
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: was a hand down top ten corner, but I thought
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: he was approaching that level, and man, he's He's given
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: up some completions in some unexpected ways. But I do
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: think a lot of it is the scheme and what
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: they're coached to do. So that's a bit frustrating thanos
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: Ron that you much for being here with super Chad.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: He says, why not try hard? He can't be worse
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: than White, Yeah, I mean you could be worse. I
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: don't think Trey White's been great. I don't think he's
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: been as bad as everyone's given him, you know, Flak four.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: Even in this Pats game. He had several really good
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: reps against Diggs, against Hollins, even against Booty, but then
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: you know again, he gets beat for some chunk plays.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's in an ideal world. I think
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: he's your corner three, not your corner two. But this
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: is not an ideal world. Max Harrison is hurt, Dorian
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: Strong is hurt. I'd actually, you know, not even hardy.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: I like JaMarcus Ingram, and I'd be down to give
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: JaMarcus Inger at some point, especially with how he plays
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: the run. But they seem to be rolling with Tray
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: and we'll see what happens to Mer again. I don't
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: think Trey has been as terrible as a lot of
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: people are making him out to be, but he hasn't
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: been an ideal corner two. And then Benford, I think
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: he's kind of underperformed a bit as well, considering the
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: expectation in the standard we have for him. I think
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: Benford has largely been fine. But when you look at
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: the years he's had in the past, the metrics that
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: he had last year, the various coverage success he had
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: in man and his own against a variety of different
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: body types and players outside one on one, he's you know,
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: he's not meeting the expectation in the standard that he
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: kind of set for himself. But yeah, I uh, disappointing, disappointing, disappointing.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: And if you're having inconsistency at corner and then you're
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: having inconsistency at safety, it's just scary. And yeah, I
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: also have to think a bit uncharacteristic for the Bills,
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: who always seem to get the most out of their
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: secondary like Sean McDermott has always found a way to
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: raise floors and raised ceilings at the corner spot and
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: get the most blood that he can from those stones.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: And it just seems like they're underperforming a bit as
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: a unit, which is unfortunate. Uh, this next one, this
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: isn't a real concern, but I just want to note it.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting the Patriots Front to beat the Bills
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: offensive line up as much as they did. I mentioned
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: it earlier, alluded to it. You know, Bar Moore, Milton Williams,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: Harold Landry, Tonga, like they were mean and nasty upfront
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: and squeezing gaps and chucking dudes around. They caused those
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: four particularly caused problems up front throughout the night. But
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: even the rotating Pats defensive linemen, you know, just overall
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: as an entire group, they limited his placement, they got pressure,
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: they compromised the pocket, they squeezed gaps versus the run.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: That kind of just I'm gonna put that in my
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: back pocket. And as they start to play better defensive line,
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: keep an eye on that. I just think that's something
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: to keep an eye on. Again, the Jets have some
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: good dudes up front, but you know, Jermaine Johnson was
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: giving Spencer Brown like fits and problems and then Jermaine
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: Johnson went down. So just the quality of opponent they
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: played the first several weeks, you know, maybe that's factoring
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: into how good they've looked. I'm not too tremendously worried
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: about it, because I do think they have a good
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: offensive line as individuals, and I do think they're well coached,
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: but I was not prepared for the Pats defensive line
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: to beat them up as much as they did and
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: control the line of scrimmage. Again, this is a good
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: run defense. They're coached well in that regard, and they
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: do have good dudes upfront. Barmore what is the blood
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: clots or whatever he had last year that caused him
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: to miss the whole season. I think a lot of
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: people forgot how really good Christian Barmore is. And then
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: they added Milton Williams and then again Harrol Landry having
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: a resurgence, and they did some cool things from a
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: technique perspective, as Andrews says, where the Pat's selling up
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: stopped the runner. Are they just that talented? I mean
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: they played a lot of single high, so you had
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: numbers in the box to kind of help you gap
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: out a little bit as needed. But I thought they
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: were well coached in terms of how they executed, you know,
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: slant in the front and where they were playing and
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: understanding down distance and the Bills tendencies and playing against that.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: I think they had the Bills well scouted, but I
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: also think they executed well individually. And then the little
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: cool thing is right, like taking Milton Williams and putting
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: him at the defensive end and lining him up on
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: you know, Dalton Kincaid or lining bar Moore up on
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: Dalton Kinkaid or Hawes and just letting them kind of
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: attack and go that way. So I thought they did
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: some cool things from alignment perspective. But I really thought
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: and I do think they had the Bills scouted well
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: from their run game plan, but a lot of it
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: was just their guys, you know, winning up front. Barmore
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: is a stud, Milt Williams is a stud, and Harold
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: Landry looks like he's rejuvenated, and then you're seeing what
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: else you can get from the other dudes and the
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: rotation pieces up front. Yeah, I think, but I think
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: they have talent and they're well coached on that side
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: of the ball, and I think they had I was
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: well scouted, so again, you know, kudos to them for that.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not worried about the old line. I'm not saying
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: you're saying it's concern. Everybody freak out, everybody panic, but
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: it is something to note, just I guess, or for
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: me at least, and I want to share that with folks.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: Because I just wasn't expecting that level of struggle. I
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: should say, I guess to kind of verbalize it the
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: right way for the Bills offensive line other pieces. I think,
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: so again what we spoke about tonight so far, I
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: do think the deep ball concerns are real from a
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: multitude standpoint, and I don't think it's any one person
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: or one thing's fault. I don't think it's Brandon Bean's
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: fall for how they built the wide receiver room. I
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: don't think it's all in the wide receivers. I don't
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: think it's all on Joe Brady. I don't think it's
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: all on Josh Allen. It is a little bit of
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: all of them. The central part of it, though, is
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen has been great throwing the deep ball the
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: past several years, and they don't have true or traditional
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: burners on the outside and towards the top of their
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: depth chart. I will say that, yeah, and it's it's
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: actually a good comment here. Brendan says, we are so deep,
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: like years pass or mocking. We are so deep, which
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: allows opponents to march on us and out in same
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: pressure on our offense and then puts in same pressure
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: on offense to have to score every possession, and then
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: Brendan says, ben, but don't break. I don't think it's Ben,
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: but don't break. Their Bill's defense is break or they break,
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: you like. Their defense is predicated on getting turnovers, creating
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: negative plays, creating havoc. Their defense is built around, Hey,
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: you might gash us for nine yards, twelve yards, fifteen yards,
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: but then we're gonna get a tackle for loss and
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be second and twelve or second and thirteen,
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: or we're gonna get a sack, or we're gonna get
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: a turnover and then we're gonna score and it's gonna
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: be fourteen to three or seventeen nothing, and you're gonna
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: have to move away from the run game. Because of
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: the game script, we can work on keeping everything in
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: front of us, playing the percentages, playing the odds, and
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: go from there. So yeah, I don't think they're bend
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: but don't break. The biggest concern with their run defense
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: this year is last year. They they got pushed around,
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: they got displaced, they got gashed, But they balanced that
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: out by having a high rate of runs that went
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: for zero or less yards. So stuffs. That's a stuff rate.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: This year, they're towards the bottom of the well. Heading
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: into this game against the Path, they were towards the
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: bottom of the league and stuff rates. So they're getting
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: pushed around, they're getting moved, they're getting displaced, and they're
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: not creating those negative plays in the run game. So
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: it's like a rotating circle of negativity for a run
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: defense standpoint. I don't think I know the Bills defense gets,
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: and especially from a past perspective, I think because they
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: play you know, Cover two or quote unquote softer coverages,
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: the thought is bend but don't break because they want
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: to keep everything in front of them. They don't play
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: a ton of man, they don't blitz a ton. But
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: I actually think this defense is more of like live
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: by the sword, die by the sword. It's it's there,
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: get gash or get gashed, like they're either gonna gash
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: you or you're gonna gash them. And that's kind of
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: what they play. Even with how they look for guys
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: up front in terms of body types, they're not looking
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: for anchorors or you know, displacement mitigators. They want guys
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: who can shoot, trigger, penetrate, cause havoc. If that means
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: they're out of their gap and there's a huge crease
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: or alley for somebody to run through. It is what
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: it is, but they're betting that at some point those
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: triggers and those shootings are gonna lead to tackles for
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: loss or sacks or forced fumbles or miscommunications or you
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: know force. You know you're gonna heat the QB up
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: into a bath throat, which leads to an interception or
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: leads to a deflection, you get an offense behind the sticks,
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: or you turn them over. They're playing kind of the
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: back and forth game with that pendulum. You're either gonna
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: get them or they're gonna get you, and it kind
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: of just goes back and forth. But fair it's a
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: comedy from Joey. Didn't expect to see Alan getting sacked
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: as much as he had lately. The Saints got him
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: in the past, did two Yeah, I mean he got
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: sacked three times and against the Saints pressure to bid
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: in this game. I think it's also something to keep
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: an eye on too. Alan kind of getting a little
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: skittish in the pocket when he presses or he doesn't
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: feel completely calm. He bails from the pocket early. We
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: saw that a couple of times in this game. I
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: don't think it's the worst thing in the world or
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: a huge red flag, because he's always kind of been
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: that way, like for stretches, but also in games, even
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: when he's doing well, like he did a bunch last
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: year and he won the MVP, he will evade or
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: take off from the pocket before he has to, but
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: it tends to just kind of end up being a
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: wash because he makes a play with his legs or
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: his arm, or makes him play with his legs and
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: his arm, and so it kind of balances out. But yeah,
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: it feels like teams have been getting to him a
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: little bit more this year. His pressure to sack conversion
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: is higher this year. He was the best in the
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: league last year year in terms of the lowest amount
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: of pressures that were converted to sacks. This year he's
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: more towards like the middle of the league, middle of
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: the table, which for him is not good. He's usually
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: one of the best in that regard, so he's getting
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: sacked a bit more. Maybe that's contributing to him being,
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: you know, a little skittish from me time to time,
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: But it really felt like the paths did a good
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: job kind of cause and havoc and you know again
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: they have a good front. Well see what continues with that.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: But yeah, he's traditionally kind of always been a little
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: quick to evade, and I think it's some of it
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: is he's super athletic, he's a mutant. He can make
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: plays with his arm, make plays with his legs. So
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: if he feels like things aren't secure, I think it's
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: just like, Okay, let me just clock in real quick,
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: make this play all right, cool, and then we'll go
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: and kind of get back in rhythm. But that is
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: something to note as well. I don't think it's I
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: don't think it's a real concern. I think it's more
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: of a fake concern in the theme of this episode,
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: because he's kind of always been that way. Even last
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: year again when he was the MVP, he was balling
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: out and everybody was talking about how great he is,
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: and in those games where he was great, he was
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: still like bailing from the pocket two or three times
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: a game when he didn't need to. It just gets
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: hyper focused on more when you lose, like everything that
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: had the Bills have Yeah, questions, thoughts, comments, concern bum
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: b Kent says, how many pass breakups do we have
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: as a team? Just a few at best if I go, uh,
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: their towards there, towards the bottom of the league. I
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: just looked this up earlier with what I was doing.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: I'm so annoyed at myself. All right, cool, bear with
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: me as I bring up some coverage stats here from
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: a team perspective. Okay, if we are looking at forced incompletions,
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: as it loads, and I try install while this loads
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: to answer this question, I wrote it down, but I
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: don't know where it is. But when it comes to
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: pass breakups, of course, this wants to take forever to load.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: Right now, I'm sorry, it just loaded up. I'll take
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: that back. Uh. So, if you're looking at forced in completions,
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: which are passes defensed, passes that are hit by the defender,
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: or even you know, close coverage force out, you know,
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: route cutoff grades, so essentially anything that results in a
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: forced incompletion doesn't have to be necessarily like a true
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: pass breakup. The bills. Oh huh, I want, I want,
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: I want. I know people are probably gonna guess this low.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: I want I want anyone to guess if they would
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: like so again, forced incompletions are and or if you
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: just want to go traditional PBUs pass breakups, right, we'll
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: go traditional pass breakups. I want so, I want any
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: of any of you in the chat to guess how
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: many pass breakups they have, and then I'm gonna read
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: it forcing completions you usually have more, because again, pass
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: breakups are literally just passes that are broken up. Forcing completions.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: Forcing completions are passes broken up or hit by the defender,
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: you know, incompletions due to close coverage. Incompletions due to
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: being like forced out of bounds or cut off by
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: the sideline. So they have more forcing completions than PBUs.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: Both are tremendously low. Patten says it two, we have two,
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: Charles says four, Retro CNY says two, Andrew says my
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: guest is five. Will says two. The Buffalo Bill DJ
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: says three. The Buffalo Bills in twenty twenty five, right now,
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: through five games, they have two pass breakups, which is
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: last in the entire NFL. The Cowboys are thirty first
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: in the league, one spot above them, and they have four.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: So the Bills are last in pass breakups with two,
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: and they are also last in forced in completions with
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: only four, so not great. And you know what's funny,
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: I want to we're their pass breakups credited to uh
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: Trey White was credited with a pass breakup when he
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: closed down on Tyreek Hill in quarters coverage in the
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: game against the Dolphins, and the other pass breakup was
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: Shaq Thompson when he drove Ratler tries to check it
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: down to Kamara over like the middle of the field
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter and Thompson closes really quickly and
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: essentially just like Spears Kamara and the kidneys. So one
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: only one pass breakup and months the secondary right now,
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: Andrew says, Trey got fifty. Yeah, yeah, Kevin says, Ajpanessa
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: has the other fifty falls into the forest in completion
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: standpoint because the pass breakup they charged, they give it
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: to like it's a coverage stat mostly, but yeah, AJ's
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: in the forced in completion category. Yeah, two pass breakups,
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: one for Trey and one for Shack Thompson. So only
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: obviously tremendously low forcing completions, tremendously low pass breakups, but
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: only one of the pass breakups is for a player
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: in the secondary, which is, and again I think that
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: speaks to especially on the back end, like the gaps
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: in coverage and how deep they're playing and how back
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: they're playing and space they're giving up. And it's again
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: partly they want to put caps on everything and put
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: the roof on an offense and keep everything in front
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: of them, and some is their safeties just getting a
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: crazy amount of depth. Even for again, I want to
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: say this too, things can differ based on how your
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: coach and how your defense and how your defense is
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: and how you operate. Right, And it's tied to opponent.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: It's tied to formation, sit in tendency, down in distance,
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff, right, But within that there
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: are still some general rules. And I'm like coverages where
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: your safeties are like twelve to fourteen yards, the bills
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: are like eighteen to twenty, or if you're supposed to
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: be fifteen to twenty, they're like twenty to twenty five.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: Kind of like it's just just a lot of space. Yeah,
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: good call, Good times, Trey. Yeah, Trey's one pass breakup
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: came against the Dolphins. It was that one in I
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: think the second quarter where if you're looking at the screen,
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: Dolphins are going from left to right. Tyreek Hill runs
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: that in breaker and Trey's sitting on it, drives on it,
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: reaches over him and just punches it right down. It
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: was in oh, the second quarter, right at the two
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: the two minute mark, and then I think he gave
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: up a couple complays. I think it was the drive
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: where he gives up the touchdown to Waddle in the
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: low red zone. But it was a great play by Trey.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: And see that's my I know it does not weigh everything,
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: but those are the type of things I talk about.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: I feel like nobody remembers that play. That was a
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: great play. He's had some really good, strong coverage plays.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: He's also had some bad ones. I don't think he's
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: as terrible as everyone's making him out to be. But
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: he is much more suited to be a corner three
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: than he is a corner two, especially on a Super
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: Bowl contending team. And who knows may be, uh, you know,
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: maybe if Max Harrison is healthy, he wins that job,
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: or he gets a shot at this point, especially with
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: how they're working strong in but we'll see. And I
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: think he had a patent's point too. He said Trey
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: is tackling well too. Yeah, I think it's uh, he's
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: been better against the run and against like quick screens
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: and bubbles and stuff. So I don't think he's holistically
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: been terrible, especially when you're taking everything into account. While
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: do I do recognize he has been beat me, he
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: has been burned, which is been unfortunate. I also think too,
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: you can't necessarily look at the ones where he's just
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: getting targeted. Same thing with Benford, same thing with any anybody,
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: same thing with the From a wide receiver standpoint, you
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: can't just look at someone and see what they do
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: on the routes where they get targeted, or if you're
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: a corner, see what they do on the routes where
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: they get thrown at. You're looking at them holistically and
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: if you're watching them down in and down out. There's
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: good plays where Trey isn't targeted because he locked his
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: man up. There's places where Benford isn't targeted because he
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: locked his man up or was really sound in his
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: zone coverage and passing off and picking up. I think
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of things go under the radar, but you know,
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: disappointing at times. Yeah, Charles says, playing soft coverage in
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: the deep red zone kills me. You have no deep threat.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: Shaking my head that one. I think. I don't think
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: the defense was ready, or I think Trey thought he
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: was getting help underneath because he gets beat and he
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: kind of looks like, dude, why didn't I have help
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: or something like that. I don't think he was, because
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: you're not going to give up that to your point,
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: You're not going to give that much space and play
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: with outside leverage in the low red zone if you
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: know that everybody inside of you is rushing or blitzing
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: and you have no help, or if you are, you're
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: going to get at least close and try and get
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: hands on somebody pressed, do something to kind of impede
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: the route. Trey was off and a little bit with
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: outside leverage given all that space to Waddle, who is
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: also a burner and can beat you anyway. I think
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: it was a miscommunication or again, doesn't excuse Trey, right,
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: doesn't excuse him get beat on that one of the defense.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: But I think it was more than just like dude,
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: got beat. I think it was more of a mental
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: air defensively or within him. I'm seeing some stuff on
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: pressure rate. I do have those stats. I just kind
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: of bringing up right now in case anyone cares pass
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: defense right now. For the Buffalo Bills, they are bah
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: twelfth in pressure rate at thirty six point seven percent.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: They are sixth in sack rate at eight point two percent.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: They are ninth in sacks at thirteen, which is nice.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: If anybody cares about blitz rates, they are sixteenth in
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: blitz rate at twenty five point nine, which I think
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: is interesting. And then if you're talking about time to pressure, ironically,
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: they have one of the longest times to pressure at
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: their thirtieth in the league at two point eight seconds,
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: so on average it takes them almost a full three
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: seconds to generate a pressure, which is not ideal. They
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: also have one of the higher get offs in the league,
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: and they're twenty six Their average get off is zero
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: point eighty nine. That's the team average pass rush get
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: off almost a full second there. But the pressure numbers
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: are fine, especially from a rate perspective. Again, your twelfth
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: in pressure rate and you are sixth in sac rate,
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: and that's without having at Oliver, without having Michael Hoyt,
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: without having Larry Ogunjobi. I do think there's still gonna
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: be struggle against the run when Ogun Joby comes back,
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: but he should help with the pass rush. What kind
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: of see what they kind of do from there? You
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: know what? We never have to figure out what someone
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: is gonna do. This is a horrible seguay. One pie
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: pizza the best pizza in Buffalo, New York. Never have
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: to figure it out. If you're getting one pie, you
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: don't have to be like, oh, I wonder if it's
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: gonna be good. It's gonna be good. You know why,
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: because it's the best pizza in Buffalo, New York. I
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: don't say that because they sponsor the show. They sponsor
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: the show because I think they are the best pizza
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: in Buffalo, New York. Sweet sauce pie, cup of chart pepperoni.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: You get different toppings, they'll chop them up, sprinkle me
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: evenly across the pizza. They make their own homemade blue cheese.
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: They have a great breakfast pizza. They do great salads.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: They have a catering division called Elevated Catering a Buffalo.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: They will do different events or anything that you got.
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: The food is great, variety mac and cheeses, just different dishes.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: Their food is sincerely awesome, and I can say every
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: week they're really good people making really good food. And
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: I say they're really good people because I interact with
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: them and I think they're good people. But also all
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: the different drives and initiatives that they do for the
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: city at large and Buffalo. You know, Toys for Tots
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: is coming up around the corner. They do that every year.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: We got Toys for Tots, partner with the SPCA, partner
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: with the Alzheimer's Foundation, partner with Roswelter to try to
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: knock out cancer on Toys for Tots. I will be
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: communicating that to everyone once that is officially started. And
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: as usually is tradition with them, if you bring a toy,
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: you get a ticket. So if you bring five toys,
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: you get five tickets. You bring ten toys, you get
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: ten tickets. You fill them out. Every ticket gets entered
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: into a bowl or you know, selection for a raffle,
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: and you're eligible to win a multitude of prizes. They're
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: usually sports based, autograph jerseys, tickets to games, you know,
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: different memorabilia for the Bill Sabers, a bunch of stuff.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: So yeah, get yourself some one pie pizza, get ready
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: for the toys for tots, drive bring some toys. You know,
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: if it's not enough for you just to want to
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: do some good, you know, you maybe want a prize
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: out of it. You can potentially get a prize out
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: of it either way. The food bangs. The pizza is amazing.
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: Everything they do is great. Go get yourself some one
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: pie pizza again. The online menu can be found in
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: the episode show notes, whether here on YouTube or whichever
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: podcasting Apple platform you're listening to this show on. Same
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: thing for the elevated catering of Buffalo piece as well,
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: Let's go to where's this comment from Andrew? Andrew says,
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: what data source do you use for the pressure numbers?
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: Et cetera. I vary for the pressure numbers I just
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: read off. I used next Gen Stats for the pass
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: breakup numbers and the forceing completion stuff. I use PFF.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: I go between a combination of the two. I really
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: like a next Gen They're just different essentially. PFF is
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: a lot more human charting for things. Next Gen is
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: more AI or like automated charting from what I've learned
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: and been told. But I think they're each great. I
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: just really know. I like next Gen's user interface better,
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: but I like what PFF does as well. Oh yeah,
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: and then Andrews said, do you see the new Suomer
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: Sports AI tool? Really cool? Yeah? I saw a post
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 1: on it. I didn't dive into it yet or play
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: with it. I heard it's really cool. I'm gonna reach
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: out to them and kind of see or I know
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: there's a video on it. Maybe the video will answer
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: the questions I'm about to ask. So I'm about to
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: watch the video, but I'm going to reach out because
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: I'm close with a lot of their guys to kind
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: of see where they're pulling the data from, where it's
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: coming from, what's happening there. But yeah, I thought that
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: was super cool essentially like yeah, I was, like you said,
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: like chat GBT for stats. Yeah, essentially chat GBT for
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 1: football metrics, which is awesome and they do really good work.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: So I'm interested to kind of see that, which will
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: be cool. I want to throw the banners is tootle, folks,
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: because we're gonna start to sigobye here. So for those
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: of you keeping charge keeping charge, I read your comment
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: Andrew that said literally just like charge of recent chat GBT,
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: and then Charge got in my head for those of
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 1: you keeping track at home, you know, so separating the
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: real concerns from the fake. For the twenty twenty five
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, I do think the deep ball is a concern,
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: not a necessity to fix on the whole, but something
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: they need to improve in to some degree if you
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 1: want to get past the better teams. Again, they could
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: not fix the deep ball. They could run their offense
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: as they have been, and they're going to have a
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: pretty good fighting or puncher's chance at beating most teams
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: across the league. I just want them to be, as
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: you know, as invincible as possible. And with that being said,
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 1: I would like them to fix the deep ball a
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: little bit or get better with the deep ball a
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: little bit incorporated a bit more from a success rate standpoint,
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: from an EPA per dropback standpoint, and like we talked about,
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 1: the inconsistencies with it are due to a multitude of things.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: It's not just one person or one aspect. So the
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: deep ball, I think that's real. The run defense, I
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: think that's real. The disconnect between Russian coverage, I think
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: that's real. The safeties, I think that's real. Offensive line
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's real. I think we'll see Josh
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: Allen kind of being a little skittish and bailing from
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: the pocket. I think it's real, but also not a
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: real concern because he's been that way. It's just been
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: glossed over because of a lot of the success that
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: he's had. Those are the biggest you know, questions, thoughts, comments,
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: things that I was seeing in responses to my tweets
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: and posts, and just kind of the scuttle butt on
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: social and across the media channels. If there's something I
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: missed or something that you think was a glaring thing
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: that's a real concern or a fake concern, feel free
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: to get at me. Tweet at me on Twitter at
• 1:30:49
