• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Really excited that both of our teams are 1-0. As
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: everybody kind of knows through my story here with Cover 1,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Bills are kind of my backup team. Back when I
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: started with Cover 1 in 2017, Lions were not as
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: good as they are now, so I always got a
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: soft spot for the Bills. But the fact that our
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: teams are matching up, The fan bases are very similar.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: New stadium, new turf. Really looking forward to this game
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: on Thursday. I'll be in the bubble a little bit
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: because I coach varsity and JV football, so I'll be
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: out coaching, playing catch-up and all that stuff. Look, I'm
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: looking forward to the JV game, but I'm not looking
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: forward to being in the bubble at all.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: But really excited to break this down. So thanks for
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: having me as always, brother.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: No, of course. I was already, I was like, I
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: got a message for us. I kept like.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Slacking on it and slacking on it. And then you
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: texted me and I was like, Oh, there we go. That's, uh,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: that's the inside right there.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: We've been doing this.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: You know, it's funny now because the bills, bills and
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: lines have connected, uh, you know, several times over the
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: past couple of years. Yeah.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: You know, it's funny thing.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: I remember thinking back to the, I think the first
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: time we did bills, lions, the Thanksgiving game where Von
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Miller tours, ACL and the lions gave that, that like the,
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: the lions weren't the lions yet. And I remember going
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: into that game, and it was like, man, you know, like,
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: Olympe McNeil's pretty sweet. Like, Amon Ross St. Brown is
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: pretty sweet. And the Lions are kind of, like, doing
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: some things. And I remember on that show, like, people
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: were like, the Lions suck. And we were like, no, like,
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: you were keyed into them even more. But I was like, no, like,
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: the Lions kind of have something. Like, this game might
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: be tough.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: And it was tough.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Like, it kind of went down to the wire in
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: that game and took some heroics from Allen and Stephon
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: Diggs to pull that win out. And then, yeah, lo
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: and behold, I mean, you– We're tortured fans of these
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: two teams.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: That's probably why we get along so well.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: A thousand percent, yeah.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: We know what pain is like when it comes to
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: football in a multitude of ways. But despite the Bills'
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: sustained success or continued success over the past several years,
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: funnily enough, I would say, not to make things painful,
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: the Lions have probably had the higher high for me
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: of each two teams' recent successes, like being up I mean,
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: it correlates, it corresponds to a really rough fall. But
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: being up, what, it was 21-0 in that NFC Championship
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: against the.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Niners, right? You're looking like, yo, we're going to do something.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: The Bills have reached the AFC Championship, but they didn't
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: have that strong of a high in the AFC Championship.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: But as is... 24-7 at half. 24-7 at half.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: That stupid, ridiculous, but Brandon and I, you catch downfield
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: like all the nonsense.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I was in mobile. I was going to say, yes,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: because I saw you the next day. I was with
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Nick Faber, man. We were down there.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: We were watching the game together. He got us kicked
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: out of a bar. That was a whole thing. I
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: called my dad at half. I was like, Dad, we're
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: doing it. We're going to the Super Bowl.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: No, you didn't.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Called the kid, called the wife, everything, and.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, why would you do that?
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: Oh, man.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, I am superstitious, but I didn't say... I
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: didn't say it. I'm saying my dad said it and
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: all that stuff. And I was just like, yeah, yeah.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, whatever, yeah. Yeah, but it's... I mean, it
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: is what it is.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: They've gotten close enough where if it never were to happen,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: I'm like, close enough, I guess.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: But no, I think.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: I think that this is a really interesting matchup with
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: two teams that we could very well both see play
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: each other at the end of the year. I mean,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: it could very well be the case. I think there's
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: enough talent on both sides. Obviously, I think there's some
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: flaws across the board for both teams where they've got
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: some things that maybe they've got to clean up. But
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: I don't think there's a talent issue, and I don't
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: think there's a huge talent gap between these two teams.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: I know it's a four and a half point spread
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: for the betting folks out there in favor of the Bills,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: mainly because they're home.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Of course you're leaving with the spread.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Of course, of course. I don't know the total.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean, I'm looking forward to it. It's
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: going to be a heavyweight fight. I just hope the
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Lions don't come out flat or anything like that. I
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: really hope that they come out and compete. And I
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: think they will. I mean, this is a Dan Campbell team.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: And normally when they're the underdog, they tend to play
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: a little bit better. So we'll see what happens.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Very fair point. Very fair point.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: And I, I would say, I remember, yeah, I remember we,
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: we got in on Monday. We went to the bar,
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: got some food and it was just really just talking
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: to you in favor about how sad everything was the
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: day before and just being like, bro. And then we
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: got into senior bowl mode and prospect mode. And yeah,
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: it's been, uh, I couldn't even get in the, in
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: the zone.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: I was checked out.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I was, I know.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: I remember you just being like, dude, like you were
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: just that Monday. And like, I think through the first
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: half of Tuesday, you were just like, Man, like you
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: were just.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm like Joey and friends just staring out, looking
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: out the rainy window glass.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: You were just like, man. Yeah, you and Faber were
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: both like, it was shell shocking.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: I even remember too, I was going, I ran to
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: the store because I needed like random things for mobile.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: And I remember I paused the games. I was only
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: gonna be gone like 20 minutes.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: And I accidentally like looked at my phone and like
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: in the blink of an eye, I saw the score.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: And I was like, I think, you know, I left,
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: it was right at the beginning because I looked at
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: my phone and I saw, well, I think it was
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: like the Jameson Williams reverse for the touchdown.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Like that. And I was like, Oh, and then they
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: scored again. And I was like, Whoa. And I was like,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: I have to get back. Like I have to let it.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: So like I randomly grabbed some things from target or
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: wherever I was and like ran back.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: And I was like, dude, this is going to be
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: so stoked. And then, Oh man, if they.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Would have made it, I think they would have won
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: the whole thing. I genuinely believe that they were so
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: good that year.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: They were even better the year after. And they just
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: didn't have an answer for Jane Daniels. He balled out.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: Now. I remember that being like a big shock. I
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: was like, well, there's no way. And then Washington went
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: and then got housed by frigging Philly.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: And, Yeah, and that's what worries me about this game
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: is just Josh Allen played, I think, really well in
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: week one.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: And i'm i'm i'm.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Worried he's gonna play even better uh on thursday night
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: especially at home you know he's gonna be amped up
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: you know he's gonna be yeah i.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: Mean that's fair uh i'm gonna use that as a
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: transition to get into the meat of this episode of
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: what uh the folks need to know for bill's first
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: lines and week two we're gonna do a little something
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: different On this episode, I have committed to Russ to
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: get him out in 30 to 45 minutes.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: So Russ is going to give.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: Us insightful points into things from the Detroit Lions side
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: of things, what we need to know, what folks of
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: each fan base need to know, people watching this game.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: I am going to tie into some of those points
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: with insightful things from myself. But I'm saying Russ kind
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: of like setting the stage here The Lions defense banged up.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: Bills offense kind of humming. Bills defense underperforming in several
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: ways in week one. The Lions offense is a juggernaut
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: in and of themselves with, I think, a formula that
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: could really give the Bills defense some trouble. I said
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: it in the offseason, like, you know, week one against
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: the Texans offense, we would see what they were going
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: to be. Their revamped offensive line, the poor run game
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: from last year.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Would it be better?
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: They look pretty good, but did they look actually good,
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: or is it because the Bills' defense is still working
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: through some things? I've said all offseason, the real test
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: for the defense, no matter what happened in week one,
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: would be on a short week against the Detroit Lions
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: with a very good offense, a good offensive line, a
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: strong run game.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: You want to see what's up with the Bills' run defense?
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: Get to Thursday night, see how you stack up against Detroit,
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: let alone everything.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Else they got.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: That's kind of where my head goes to. I think
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: the Bills can put up some points with the injuries
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: to the Lions' defense. And then I also think the
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: Lions could do.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: The same thing.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: Is that kind of where your head is at, where
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: you want to lead? But either way, the floor is yours.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Tell us what you got.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's going to be a lot
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: of back and forth. The one thing I worry about
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: just from an execution standpoint, I know how the Bills
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: defense is going to operate with bringing some pressure and
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: giving them different looks. I think that they could be
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: obviously a little bit aggressive, especially if Blake Miller or
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: doesn't play. He's got a knee injury right now. He
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: played through getting rolled up on what looked to be
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: initially an ankle injury, and maybe it still is an ankle,
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: but it's being listed as a knee injury right now.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: So he didn't practice Monday. He didn't practice yesterday or
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: today either. So we'll kind of see. They might not
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: have their starting right tackle, but he's a tough guy.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: They might feel confident enough.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Like if he can get a limited day in tomorrow,
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: then If he if he limit day tomorrow, then I'll
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: feel a little bit better about going into Thursday. But,
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: you know, with the Bills defense and how, you know,
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: Dion Walker is looking, I do wonder, is that going
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: to be a tough matchup for Juice Scruggs, who I
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: thought week one.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Looked really well.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: I don't have his PFF grades or anything like that
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: up in front of me, but I know his his
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: numbers were really good across the board. But just from
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: watching the film. He played with great base, low pad
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: level consistently. I thought that was a big issue in Houston.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Maybe that was because they were a lot of zone.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: And for the Lions, primarily they were 40% outside zone
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: in week one. They were only about 5% inside zone.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: A lot of what they did was duo, man, and
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: gap scheme. For gap scheme, they were about 15% in
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: week one. Um, so I'll be, I'll be intrigued if
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: that goes up a little bit because there were times
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: on film watching the lions offense that they had, uh,
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: some really interesting angles in the run game where I
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: think if they would have been able to have maybe
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: clear communication, uh, for example, very first drive of the game,
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: they're faced with a third in one, they've got the numbers. Um, and,
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: and it looks like they're running some type of zone variation. Maybe,
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: maybe it's stretch, but it probably some type of outside
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: zone and they're inserting, um, they motion a tight end
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: across and they insert him to the, to the, to
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: the defensive end.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: And then they've got another tight end.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: So they're running 12 personnel, but the tight ends in
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: the backfield as a fullback and he inserts for the safety.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: But they get a double team with Panay Sewell and
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: Chris Mahogany and Mahogany doesn't come off to the Mike
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: backer because he over commits on his angle to, to
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: the outside shade, the three tech defenders. So, you know,
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: it's one of those things where if they can, you know,
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: if they can fix some of those things and long
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: story short, Gibbs gets tackled for loss third in one.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Those are things that you can't have happen.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: And that's one thing for me, like if, if you
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: are going into this game, third in one third and
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: manageable second and manageable, you got to get those down
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: at distances.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: That's, that's what made the lions so good.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: When we talk about 2023 and 2024 and those teams,
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: They could always hit on second down and manageable. They
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: got in very manageable situations. So I would love to
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: see that here in this game, especially with a short turnaround.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: How does this script look? And what angles are you
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: taking to open up the run game? Because from a
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: yards per carry standpoint or from a yards per contact standpoint,
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: nobody outside of San Francisco is getting more yards per
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: contact other than the Lions. So San Francisco is getting
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: about 2.8 yards per um, per carry before contact and, and,
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: and for the lions.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: It's 2.55. So, um, that's good. Hope, hope, hopefully that.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: Continues and they can keep the ground game going. But
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: the other thing too, Jameer Gibbs had 29 carries in
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: that game. Again, short week, 34 total touches. How's he
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: going to feel? Jacob sailors did not play any offense
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: in Sion. Vaki doesn't know, his left foot from his
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: right foot.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: So get him out of here. Give us sailors.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Maybe they called Jabari small up, but he was dealing
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: with a concussion. So we'll kind of see, I know
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: I'm kind of all over the place, uh, what, what
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: I want to look for. Um, but you know, specifically
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: for me, how did the, how did the Lions offense, um,
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: specifically offensive line, how do they answer to the fronts
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: and the looks that the bills defense are going to
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: give us?
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Because I know, uh, the bills are going to switch
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: things up, uh, whenever they can.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: It's funny.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: The bill's got, Gibbs is running mate for years and
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: week one with David Montgomery. And now they get Gibbs himself.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You that that's where the whole matchup starts for me.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: Really like that, that aspect I, and maybe it's just
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: cause I'm, I'm such a defensive guy and I'm a
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: Jim Leonard guy, but I have so many worries.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: About the run deep of run defense is just seeing.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: And as soon as you said like duo, like that's,
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: that's the first thing for me, I'm thinking of two things.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: I'm thinking of duo and, and then all the gap
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: scheme stuff that you can run. Like I saw, I
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: watched a little bit of lion saints. Um, at this point,
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: I'm going to finish it up tomorrow, but they ran like,
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: as they have before, like they ran a really clean
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: rep of, of crunch trap and wham, which I've seen
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: them do before. And it just hits so perfect. And like,
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: I'm just running all the gap scheme stuff I can
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: against the bills. Like, and I know duo technically falls
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: into that.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I'm running that.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: Like I, and I'm going to do this if I'm
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: every team, but especially a Dan Campbell team, that is
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: a team that has jameer gibbs that just needs a
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: little daylight and it has a physical line up front
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: like again we'll see what happens with miller but i'm
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: running duo at ed oliver and landon jackson and whoever
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: else if they're if they're in like their base if
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: they're in an odd front cool whoever are those four
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: eyes i'm putting you to work like i am running
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: at you over and over and over and even if
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: we're gonna get okay cool like let's go 11 11 Cool.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: We can still have Amon Ra insert.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Tesla can do some stuff.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: More than willing blockers in that regard. Let's see if
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: the bills match nickel and then we'll run duo that way.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: And then if we're going to run duo that way, cool.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Good luck to whoever.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: Your three tech is that you're putting to that strong
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: side if they choose to go with that kind of front.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: I am mashing the bills left and right. I'm running duo.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: I'm running any gap scheme that we can, whether it's
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: pin and pull stuff, single back power, traditional power if
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: we want to go counter. whatever, if it's crunch, especially with,
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: with how much Dion Walker wants to penetrate and at
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: Oliver wants to penetrate, give me crunch, give me trap,
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: give me wham, like whatever, give me anything. That's like,
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: if I'm Dion Walker at Oliver, like, Oh, I'm free.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, bang.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: And I'm getting a year hold. And then there goes
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: Gibbs through. And I think also the, the yards before
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: contact is great.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: I love that poll.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: And then the bills last year, one of the worst
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: yards after contact per rush team week one was a
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: little wonky form as well. And now you're dealing again
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: with a, with a quick hitting back like Gibbs who
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: could change your angles in a heartbeat, but it was
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: also strong, has some contact balance. Your form has to
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: be perfect. You have to get population of the football
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: to be able to bring him down. That's where the
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: game starts for me, like the run game, just in
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: and of itself, because you're getting pushed around and run
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: around or run on.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: That's a problem.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: And then the lions have been, going back to Ben
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: Johnson's time and even these, the, you know, this year
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: so far and last year without him, they have been
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: what I've wanted the bills to go to more, which
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: was under center play action, like golf and the linesmen
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: doing that for years, like five, five step drop, seven
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: step drop, hit hitch rhythm, bang. I'm on rock, bang, JMO,
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: bang Laporta. Like, and the more the run game gets going,
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: the more that gets going. And then the bills want
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: to play these single high coverages. Everything starts to kind
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: of snowball. So for me, it starts with the run.
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: How healthy are the Lions up front? If they are healthy,
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: it presents for me the best test of the early
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: part of the year from a run game standpoint.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: And that's what we want to know.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: And I mean, again, like that, even if like, they're
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: not healthy upfront, you know, the lions under Dan Campbell,
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: they've taken on his identity. They just, they're going to
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: try and beat the hell out of you. And it's
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: a really great matchup. And for a bills defense, that's
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: so movement based and isn't point of attack, you know,
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: hold at the point of attack based. That's why I'm like,
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: just if I'm the lines, I'm just going to run
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: at them and see if.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: They can match it.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and the other thing too, like reviewing the tape,
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: I've watched it, you know, two or three times through now,
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: obviously watching the game live, like reviewing everything, Drew Petzing
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: re-watching some stuff from the Cardinals in the off season
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: and things like that from his past.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: There was a lot of pin and pull from what
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: he was doing previously.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: Dude, Arizona going into, oh, I think 2024, the Bills
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: opening up against the Cardinals. So I think so probably
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: this 2023 season, one of those in those range. And
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: I remember watching so much Cardinals tape Their pin and
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: pull game was great. And then they open up against
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: the Bills. They're running pin and pulling, killing the Bills.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: Conner's getting to the edge, left, right, and center. And
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: they were just like, that was, I completely spaced on
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: Petzig being there. Like their pin, his pin and pull.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Game, his gap stuff.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: He was leaning into 12 and 13 personnel before it
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: was cool. And he was doing it with Conner in
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: the backfield. Like I'm leaning into more of that Arizona
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: playbook if I'm him and doing that all day.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that was something that he didn't really show
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: in week one. And he was also the second most
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: under center in the NFL in week one for any
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: team at 75%. So, like, I wonder, is this something
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: to just maybe show a tendency of, hey, we're not
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: going to show them our run game out of the gun?
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: We're not going to, like, is this a think-ahead spot where, like, maybe,
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: I don't want to say they looked past the Saints.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: I know they didn't do that.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: But is it one of those things where like, hey,
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: I'm going to stick to my script here. I'm not
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: going to make any adjustments into our pin and pull.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: We're not going to get away from being under center.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: And they also were doing a lot of stuff with
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: like moving tight ends and kind of they kind of
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: put themselves in some really interesting spots. Like the Sam
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: linebacker would be off the line of scrimmage to the
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: two tight end side. And then they wouldn't, which is
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: kind of odd. The Saints, that would be. Then the
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: Lions would motion the tight end across away from that,
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: that backer, and then that backer would come on down
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: to the line of scrimmage to the, to the, to
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: the side that just motion away. So if you, if
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: you were on the right side and you motion to
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: the left, that, that linebacker suddenly comes down to the
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: right side. And I don't know why, but the lines
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: kind of almost got outgapped at times. And I wonder,
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: is that something that maybe the bills do, but at
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: the same time, like on the line side of things,
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: is this something where, okay, I don't need to do that.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: I'm getting a really good angle here.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: Now that I'm seeing the fronts and I'm seeing what
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: I'm going to get, we can actually stick to our guns.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: I don't have to add pre-snap motion and those types
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: of things. Cause if I, if I remember right, they
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: were third in motion rate in week one and like
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: seventh or eighth in play action rate, something like that
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: per a fantasy sports data or fantasy, um, fantasy points data.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, so yeah, I don't know. We're going to
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: see what happens, but I'm with you. Pin and pull
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: gap scheme. Let's see what happens. And, and, you know, get,
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: get a, get a different mix in the backs out there. Um,
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: even if that means you're handing it off to Vaki,
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: but it can't be Gibbs 29 times.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: No shot.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah. It's a, I mean, I know all the fantasy
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: owners are like, no, give it to Gibbs 35 times
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: every game and just see what he can do.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that's a, that's a huge workload.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: And especially on a short week, like that's, that's, I'm
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: interested too, to see if they get Gibbs involved more
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: in the past game, like get them some touches, but
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: get them on the perimeter and see for a bills
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: team that, um, dude, They're trying to do more match
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: coverage stuff. They're learning Jim Leonard's defense in general. There
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: were some miscommunication aspects in coverage against Houston. Guys kind
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: of running wide open. Some gaps in coverage. From a
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: pass game standpoint with the Lions, whether it's under center
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: or if they get more into gun, what do you
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: think this Lions pass game does?
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Do you think.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: They're... Are they going to try and push the ball downfield?
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: Like for me, it's I'm taking Laporta. I'm creating mismatches
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: at the second level with him. I would try and
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: use Gibbs and get him on the perimeter, get him
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: against the backers. And then I like Amon Ra versus,
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: I mean, most corners because he's phenomenal. But anywhere on
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: the interior, anywhere from the numbers, numbers to numbers, whether
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: it's against Alford, a safety. The Bills went with a
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: ton of dime in in week one. So, and Bishop
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: was usually the down safety. So it's, and he's one
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: apex and D offers the other I'll take granted, even
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: if it's not man, like I'll take that matchup, whether
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: it's true man or match or anything like, how do
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: you think they attack the bills through the air in
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: this game?
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: So they showed some really interesting empty looks and some
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: really interesting three by one looks. And even, you know,
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: some of those three by one looks were even out
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: of 12 personnel who is real quick.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: And if they're going three by one, who's the backside
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: wide receiver, who's the one, Um, is it consistently someone
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: or is it?
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: No, it, it varied. They, they showed a bunch of
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: different looks.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: There was one three by look side or three by
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: one look that they gave where to the, to the
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: three receiver side, it was test. Uh, so from the
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: sidelines moving in, so how I would number at one, two, three, uh,
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: one would be Tesla. Two was, uh, Amin, Ron three
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: was Jamo, but two and three were really condensed down.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: It was really interesting. Look, they had numbers in space.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: It was, it was in the red zone, but there
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: were times even just out of empty, like they would have,
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: Gibbs out wide, and then they would motion him down
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: and condense him in. There was an early completion where
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: three receivers ran verts, and then you had a really
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: nice chip. I posted this yesterday on my X account
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: at RussNFLDraft where Gibbs chips Chase Young great, and then
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: just kind of runs OTB and sits right there. And
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: then off into the flats was Laporta, who was wide open.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: Goff threw it to Gibbs, but he could have hit anybody,
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: could throw it deep. But yeah, it's a really... it's
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: a really offense where they pick and choose their spots to,
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: from a passing perspective, to take shots down the field,
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: specifically with Jamison Williams. But they did show some spots
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: where Tesla was going deep. And I wonder if that's
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: something that they consider. He only had one target. It
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: was early in the game. It was batted down by
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: Chase Young at the line of scrimmage. He ran a
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: hitch route. He could have easily caught that pass and
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: probably turned up for a first down. But it is
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: one of those things. So I think they're going to
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: use guys in different ways underneath, and that's the beauty
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: of it. They have so many variations. Now, at the
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: same time, they did target Laporta, Gibbs, St. Brown, and
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: Jamo the majority of the time. So they need to
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: get something else going, whether that's Tesla, Brock Wright, Jacob Saylors,
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: Tay Martin, whoever it is. But they love dagger concepts.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: They love to attack the middle of the field. But
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: if the Bills at all are going to invert a
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: safety down, whether they go you know, from an odd
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: front or they go to an even front and try
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: some 4-2-5, whatever the case may be, like a true nickel,
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: and they invert that safety down, it's going to be
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: very problematic for the Lions. And I'm starting to maybe
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: get a feel for something across the league when watching
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: the Lions over this last year or so where teams
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: are inverting a safety down to contribute in stopping the
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: run or they're getting a really good pass drop kind
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: of mid-hook or, you know, I don't want to say
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: like cover three or cover four. He's just primarily sitting
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: as essentially that rat defender. And he's able to, that
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: safety is able to take away the dagger concept or
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: any in-break route where that's where, you know, Jared Goff
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: loves to throw the football.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: He loves that dagger concept.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: So dagger, anything vertical, obviously Amin Ra, anything one-on-one, some crossers.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Will be in there.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: And then, you know, third down, playing it safe, third
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: and 12 or something, you could potentially see a design
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: wide receiver screen to maybe pick up some chunk yards
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: and get into a manageable fourth down if needed.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: Is there any, let's say, if you had to call
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: it right now, does Blake Miller play or does he
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: not play for you?
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: I think he plays.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is a guy that that he missed
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: one practice in college coming out.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right. You know, 3,300 snaps overall in his career.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: You know, he's a warrior.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: So I think he'll play. I mean, he played that
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: entire game. He said it didn't bother him until pretty
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: much the drive home. So maybe it was just adrenaline.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: But I think it's one of those things where if
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: it's nothing too severe, give him a couple days rest.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: Again, limited practice tomorrow. Maybe he's ready to go. I
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: would envision that he plays.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: If he plays. whether he's 100% or not, granted no
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: one's ever really 100% in.
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: The NFL, is there any aspect of the Bills' pass
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: rush that you think gives the Lions' offensive line problems?
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: Is it anybody individually? Is it if they get in
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: the third and known passing situations, Jim Leonard and what
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: he's able to cook up? Or is that an aspect
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: where you're like, no, from a pass pro standpoint, they'll
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: be fine.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Golf will have time. This front won't concern the Lions
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: in the pass rush game.
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, just with what's going on at, you know,
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: left guard for this week, um, you know, mahogany is
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: going to be out probably for a little bit of time. Uh,
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: he got hurt, uh, in the probably worst possible way, um,
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: for probably the worst possible way for a player to
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: get hurt. Uh, he was climbing to the second level,
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: tripped over his own two feet and essentially like either
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: hyper extended his knee or hip. Um, I don't know
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: exactly the severity of the injury. Um, But yeah, with
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: what's going on at left guard, Ben Bartsch is playing there.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: I don't think he looked horrible. I lean towards Ed
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: Oliver just simply because if you can align him maybe
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: as a three-tech or something like that, I think he
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: could be in a really good spot to beat a
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: player like Ben Bartsch. So we'll kind of see what
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: happens with the alignments. But Ed Oliver is the one
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: just because of how explosive he is and how he
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: can get after the quarterback. and knowing that he's probably
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: playing against a true backup left guard who is okay,
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: but he had his spots where he looked rough against
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: the Saints, and I'd have to imagine with Ed Oliver,
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: who's a far better player than some of the interior
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: players as of this moment on the Saints defensive line,
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: I think I got to go that route.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Flip side of the ball.
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: The Saints, I'm looking at Charles' comment, but it was
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: something that's on my mind. Lions defense, Saints offense in
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: that game. Charles asked it. Um, I think someone else,
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: I'll say a Charles asked that earlier. I watched, again,
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: I've only watched a little bit of it. What changed
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: in that game from a game where the line lines.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Were up 21, nothing.
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: Up 21, nothing.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: 21, nothing.
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: What changed in that game where shuck in the saints offense,
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: just aside from, you know, some big chunk plays to
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: a lava and then, uh, vele number 14 um you
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: know kind of just starting to get some things they
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: had a couple chunk runs from hn who i'm still
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: having to it's still yeah i'm gonna say etn 100
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: right and like the fact that i have to pronounce
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: his name just like devon hn from like miami essentially
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: like it's throwing me for a loop so much and
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: i'm also used to people like never writing it out
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: on social they would just literally write the letters etn
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: because that's how it was for forever like just absolutely
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: threw me for a loop um What happened in that game? Again,
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: Lions defense banged up in the secondary like they have
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: been seemingly for the past two years, but things were
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: working up front for them, and then all of a sudden,
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: they're getting gashed. They're giving up points. That game goes
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: to OT. Saints went for the win late. They don't
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: get it, but what kind of happened? Is there anything
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: the Saints did? Was it on the Lions? Was it
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: purely just, hey, you give up some explosives, and that's
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: just the nature of football, and the Saints just said,
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: screw it, we're down three scores, let's start chucking it
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: around the field and see what happens? Or was there
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: something a little more systematic tied to that for you
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: when watching the tape?
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: I don't think it was anything particular to systematic or
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: anything within the scheme. Lions stayed aggressive. They were super
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: aggressive getting after it. You know, Shuck did a really
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: poor job against, you know, the Blitz, and the Lions
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: were getting home a bunch in the first half. That
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: didn't end up happening in the second half as much
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: with them getting home. They got some pressure, and they
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: got sacks and things like that. Roger McCreary was aligned
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: in the slot as a nickel, and they blitzed him
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: a couple different times. I think he had three pressures
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: in this game. He did have a sack. So he'll
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: catch you by surprise, but I do wonder, for the
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: Bills' sake, does that catch McCreary off guard a little
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: bit just because if he gets too deep in the
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: backfield and kind of overrushes Josh Allen?
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: Can he expose him in any way? Do you get out,
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: you know, do you get rid of the football quickly?
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: And that's essentially what Tyler Shuck started to do. He
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: started just kind of finding the open guy. There were routes,
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: you know, in certain areas of the field where the
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: Lions were kind of playing off in their coverage. They
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: weren't playing press man. They weren't staying true to just
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: strictly man coverage. They were mixing in some zone. So
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: I think maybe there was some miscommunication, maybe just some
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: slow turns out of, you know, opening their hips and
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: flipping their hips. and running with the receiver. But like
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: you mentioned, Bailey had a great catch, one that was
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: like 37 yards.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Olave had a couple of big grabs.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: And I think between those two players, they had three
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: or four catches in that second half that totaled 120 yards. So,
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: you know, Shuck, he had 410 yards passing. That's with
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: 73 of them coming in overtime. The Lions had him
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: at fourth and 12 and gave up. a huge pass
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: at fourth and 12 and kind of a scramble essentially.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: So it was one of those things like if you,
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: I don't like it. These guys on the saints, you know,
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: the saints are getting some, some really big catches in
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: some big plays. If, if you'll, if you eliminate though,
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: you know, the OT and those big plays, it's.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: About 193 yards in total. that Tyler Shuck had.
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: So I think the number's a little inflated, but at
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: the same time, like the Lions got to continue to pressure,
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: they got to get home, but they, their dudes need
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: to make some plays. I mean, that's what it boils
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: down to. But at the same time, Lions have to
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: execute a little bit better on offense. Like they, they
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: had a couple of turnovers right out of the gates
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: in the, in the third quarter there, they, they had
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: an interception. So it's, it's one of those things like
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: you're making plays and, but offensively they've also got to execute.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: But that was the big thing, you know, from, from
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: Tyler Shuck and defensively from the Lions in that second half.
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: Lions defense, you, you talked on some of the coverage pieces.
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: I feel like for years under Glenn, even under Shepard
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: a little bit too, like man coverage. So, you know,
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: cover one single high man coverage. We're going to do
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: that last year. A bunch of base, like, I thought
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: they were really creative with Derek Barnes last year. I
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: remember you and I talking about Derek Barnes early in
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: the year last year, like if Derek Barnes is like
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: pretty sweet and they're finding ways to get him on
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: the field with Anzalone and Campbell, you know, from a,
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: I guess from, from an identity standpoint, what does, and again, it's, it's,
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: it's murky, right? Cause branches on the IR and Kirby
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: is also on the IR and they're so banged up
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: in that aspect.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: But what do they do? what do they want to
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: be defensively?
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: Are we still looking at this man coverage, single high
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: type of world? Are they a little more, are they
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: a little more zone now? And do you think that's
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: here to stay? Like who are the, is it, is
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: it because of the injuries and the new personnel they have?
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: Just talk a little bit about the Lions defensive structure
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: and how similar it is to years past when they
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: kind of came on the map and, you know, to,
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: to what they are now and what you expect to
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: see in this game.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think they're trying to be trendy.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: I think they, they want to be, that nickel defense
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: at times are getting away from that base.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Look a little bit.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: They started the game. The two inside backers were Jack
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: Campbell and Malcolm Rodriguez, but we saw a lot of
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: use of the nickel and extra safety here and there. Um, and,
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: and they got aggressive with it. Roger McCreary was coming down, um, and,
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: you know, playing in past coverage, but also blitzing. We
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: saw some Keith Abney in that spot. There were times
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: that you would see Avante Maddox in that spot. Who's
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: also listed as a safety. Um, um, He got kind
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: of banged up with either an elbow or a shoulder,
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: but he's okay. But yeah, I mean, but overall, like, yeah,
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: they still want to be man. They want to be aggressive,
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: but they are getting more into a traditional cover three
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: and they want to play some zone. And I think
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: they're going to give you all kinds of different looks
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: and just try to make this thing work while they've
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: got guys out. But, you know, from a player standpoint,
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: guys that you got to watch out for, like obviously
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: Aiden Hutchinson, Ali McNeil, Tyleek Williams had a great first
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: game against the run. I mean, when he was, when
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: he was on, on the field, they were getting under
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: four yards per carry. They were in 3.7 yards per carry.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: When he was off the field, they were getting 6.2
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: yards per carry. So like big splits, but like they
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: got to play Skylar Gil Howard as well, because he's
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: just so explosive against the past, but also the past
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: game really kind of took over in that fourth quarter.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: So like, hey, Tyleek might not get home. We got
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: to get him off.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: And that's when some of those big runs were happening
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: as well. So they got some things that they've got
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: to clean up and offensively to kind of help with that.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: But overall, defensively, I think that they are a.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: Team that they're going to play physical. They're going to
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: play tough.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: But being super aggressive is, I think, going to be
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: the new mindset. set similar to what we've seen with
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: teams like Seattle and Los Angeles.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, very interesting.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: Facing the bills this week from a lion's defensive perspective,
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: what are you more worried about? And it could be equal,
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: but what are you more worried about defending the bills
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: run game, which did get stymied a little bit in
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: week one against Houston. But I mean, Houston's got a.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Good run defense.
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: I think they keyed in on the run more so
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: than anything that left them a little vulnerable on the
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: backend and, I mean, Allen also created some plays out
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: of structure from the past perspective as well, and they
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: just had some one-on-one win plays.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: But what concerns you more?
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: Is it the Bills' run game, or are you more
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: concerned the pass game? Not even just like Josh Allen
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: doing crazy stuff, but is that where your head is at?
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: Is it like, uh-oh, how do we deal with the pass?
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: How do we cover?
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: Who matches up on Kincaid? That, to me, is the
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: biggest mismatch opportunity. for the bills in this game. Like
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: I will take Kincaid on anybody really in the interior,
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: especially with, with, with branch and Joseph, like being banged up. I'll,
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: I'll take Kincaid essentially against like anybody in the, in
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: the coverage aspect, second and third levels. But is it,
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: are you fearful of that? Is there anything with DJ more?
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: Is it anything with Khalil Shakir? Is it anything with
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: the past game in general? Or for you, is it like,
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: you know, I'm worried about the run or do you
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: feel more confident in that? Cause it's like, no, I'll
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: let Ty leak and, and a limb McNeil do it,
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: do their thing on the interior and Aiden and want
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: them and the rest of the crew upfront kind of
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: do their thing. You know, is it past game related?
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: Is it run game related? Where does your worries lie
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: when it comes to the Lions defense? Or you could
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: say both, if you're so inclined.
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: Definitely some of those perimeter match or more so those
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: interior matchups with Dalton Kincaid and Khalil Shakir, like that
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: worries me a little bit. But a lot of that
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: stems just because of Josh Allen, like what he's able
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: to do, how he can run the football. I know
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: he had two rushing touchdowns last week, not a ton
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: of yards, but like how he can create plays and
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: with how shifty those guys are, like I think that
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: they could get in some really good spots with good
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: angles and finding ways to get open in different route combinations,
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: but just, just finding space. And I think if they
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: can find some space, like I worry about some of
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: the speed that the lions have just because of how
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: downhill they are. I don't know if this is a
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: team that is going to be able to get downhill
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: and quickly change an angle and get in the hip
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: pocket of Shakira as he, as he kind of hits
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: like a stick and nod or something like that. Like,
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: you know, I, what, what is it, what, what, what
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: is that going to look like? So I'm so curious
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: on how the matchup goes. Um, and with, with like
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: Dalton Kincaid, you're right. Who is truthfully going to be
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: able to guard him? Like Jack Campbell does a decent job,
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: but is it, is it going to be Derek Barnes?
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: Because just Derek Barnes has shown that he can kind
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: of cover a little bit.
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: Is it, is it a Jimmy roller? He didn't do it,
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: you know, at a super high level in college, but
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: a good enough level. It's certainly not going to be
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: Devin white. So, um, you know, he can't cover anybody. Um,
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: but I don't know, is, is it Christian eyes and
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: he's supposed to be back potentially this week. So we'll see,
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: but it's going to be a fun matchup. I mean,
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: there's just, I could go forever on, on what these
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: matchups are. Um, you know, even like DJ more, I
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: think he's going to get in some really interesting spots,
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: especially if he can match up with like Rocky scene
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: or something like that. Like, I think he'll be able
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: to outrun him and kind of out move him a
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: little bit. And DJ reads dealing with this foot injury.
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: So we'll, we'll kind of see.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: I'm really interested.
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: The first thing that hit me, you know, I, I
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: didn't get through the full lions versus saints tape. I
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: really have to like watch it and do the full eval,
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: but I was checking out like specific players and specific things.
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: And I saw the, I think it was the Jawan
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: Johnson touchdown where he essentially just runs by Jack Campbell.
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: And the first thing I thought of, I was like,
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: can Kate, And then in.
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: Just looking at, knowing as soon as I heard a
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: couple weeks ago or whatever, that Kirby and Branch are
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: going to be on IR for the first four weeks
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: or whatever, my first thought was Kincaid again. And then
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: I saw that Juwan Johnson touchdown, and I thought that.
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: But even to your point, I look at, you and
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: I were talking about it offline, I do think it's
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: going to be a track meet, which means it'll end
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: up probably being like 13 to 10, and both defenses
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: will ball out.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: We'll be like, how did that happen?
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: But I really do look at, you know, I have
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: questions about the bills defense, but then I think there's
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: questions on the lions defense from a health standpoint.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: And then from a matchup standpoint.
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: And if I like, if I'm the bills and I've
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: said this before, like so much, I, the run game
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: is what stirs the drink. James cook that offensive line,
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: the run game, the under center pass game that extends
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: from it, whether it's play action or straight drop back.
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: But I look at the front and I like, even
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: if we're just looking at it on paper, I'd be like,
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: you know what? Like instead of trying to deal with
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: like to leak Williams and a limb McNeil and I'm
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: going to go deal with Rocky Sin and Maddox and
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: Chuck Clark and like DJ Reed and whoever's at nickel.
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: And I'll take my chances with whoever I can get
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: Kincaid matched up against. I'll take DJ more against either
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: of the outside corners. Although I know DJ Reed isn't
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: necessarily what he was when he was with the Jets,
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: but I think DJ Reed is still a good corner.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: But I think, I think the past game, the back
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: seven for the lions versus the bills eligible pass catchers,
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: I think that advantage is bills eligible pass catchers. Even if,
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: you know, the running backs get involved in the past
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: game a little bit more this week for the bills,
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: they didn't really do that much in week one against
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: the Texans, but that to me screams advantage. And I
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: think they could run the ball a bit too, but
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: it's almost to the point that I, I like, I
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: just kind of want to get out there and chuck
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: it a ton against the lions defense until they show
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: me that they're going to stop it. The same, the
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: same way that, I think the lion should come out
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: and try and run through the bill's face until the
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: bills prove that they can stop it. Or until the
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: bills prove like, Hey, we can stop it without having
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: to allocate a ton of resources to it. The same
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: way I feel about that with the lion's offense. I
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: feel that way with the bill's offense and throwing the
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: football against the lion's defense.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: You know, and the more that you, you talk about everything,
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: I'm going in a completely different direction because like thinking like,
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: cause you got my wheel spinning and I'm thinking like
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: to previous games and like, Yeah, they'll struggle with Josh Allen,
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: like talking about Detroit. But I do worry about James
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: Cook a little bit more than maybe I should. But
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: I think the Lions, in the past, and just under
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: this coaching staff, they have struggled with players like James Cook.
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: That is a perfect spot. The way he runs the football,
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: there's a perfect spot in this game where he's going.
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: To break one forever.
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: 40 yards and then get a big screen pass or
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: get out into the flats and like how they utilize
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: him underneath, because these linebackers are going to have to
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: get depth at times with, with some of the speed
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: that's going to get behind them. And the same thing
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: with the corners, like they're going to have to bail
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: as well. But also like if they are bringing pressure,
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, is there a way that the, that the, the,
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: the bills can, can utilize Josh Allen and make them,
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: think you know you run some read option i'm not
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: saying like you do that all the time but is
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: there an rpo that you can run with that um
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: and and things like that i i don't know i
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: think i think the playbook's kind of wide open for
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: for brady.
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: Here i'm also interested too with with what the bills
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: did against the texans in week one and trying to
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: counteract anderson and hunter in that front like the different
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: chips that they were.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: Doing that's moving right there sorry what's the comment.
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: I didn't see it Texans sold out to stop Cook
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: and forgot that Allen was QB.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's funny.
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think they did kind of, hey,
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: we're going to focus on the run. And they got
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: God in the past a little bit. I mean, also, too, like, again,
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: not even to play devil's advocate, like, there's a chance
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: that game ends if Kamari Lasseter doesn't drop that interception.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: That was, like, gifted to him.
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: And that pass to DJ Moore for the touchdown is, like, funny,
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: but re-blanket ship, like, bro, you got to make that play.
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: Um, right.
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: So there's kind of some wonkiness there, uh, potentially, but yeah,
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: I do think the Texans came into that game being like,
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: we got to stop cook and we'll be fine elsewhere.
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: And then they weren't, um, combination because of some of
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: the things the bills did, but also because the Texans
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: kind of shot themselves in the foot and threw up,
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: threw up on themselves.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: A little bit.
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: Um, but I, I wonder with what the bills did
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: against the Texans from a front perspective, like, Hey, we're
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: going to, we're.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: Going to chip.
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: DJ Moore is chipping edges. Dalton Kincaid is chipping, let
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: alone Knox and what they're doing in the backs.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: And I wonder how concerned.
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: They are with Hutch, who I feel like with what
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: Miles Garrett is and what Will Anderson is, or at
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: least his ascension. And I don't know if it's because
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: the Lions faltered a bit recently or because Hutch got
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: hurt recently. he's still like one of the best edges
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: in football and like one of the best pure pass
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: rushers in all of football.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: Like dude is an absolute stud.
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: And so I wonder they're like, how many resources do
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: they have to allocate to him? Like, do you have
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: to chip him regularly? Do, are you comfortable leaving him
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: like one-on-one? And if you do leave him one-on-one, how
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: much does he make you pay?
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: Is it none? Is it zero times?
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: Is it one?
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: Is it two? How severe is that payment?
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: Hey, Jackson Hawes, you're busy. You're staying busy.
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: You're in line a bunch this game, buddy, and you're
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: going to chip and beat the hell out of him
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: a lot. And then, honestly, you might get five catches
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: in the flat because we're going to send guys deep
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: and no cover zone is going to be open underneath.
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: I wonder how much they lean into.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: somewhat kind of similar to the game plan they did
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: against Houston, right?
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: Where, you know, I know you don't have two edges,
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: the level of that, but you do have a premier
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: guy and you do have good guys up front. And
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: is it, we're going to do some of the chip
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: release stuff and try and get them off kilter a
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: little bit. We are going to move the pocket. We
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: are going to do some boots. I really like the
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: idea of, and this is just in general for the Bills,
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: but especially against the Lions defense, like I love the
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: under center play action game where we're sending guys deep
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: and it's like, here comes the run. Uh-oh, nope, we
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: got to get deep. And then it's like, well, I'm
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: going to release that running back out that I just
• 48:12
  Speaker 4: played fake to. And now James cake, James cake, James
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: cook has eight, eight yards, eight yards of space.
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to dump it to him like two
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: yards past the line.
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: And now he's in space against Barnes and Campbell and
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: whoever else is down there. I, so I like the
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: vertical stretch aspect. Maybe we take some shots, maybe it
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: opens up some things underneath and we can create some
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: space in yards after catch that way. And then I
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: also wonder, uh, yeah, how much do they try to
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: move him off the spot? Or is it just like,
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: you know, no, we feel confident doing our five-man protection
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: stuff against the Lions front. And if that happens, you know,
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: does Hutch make them pay? Because he's very, very, very
• 48:48
  Speaker 4: capable of that.
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's definitely a player, you know, you
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: have to worry about. There's no doubt about it. He's
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: just so talented. He wins from those wide alignments. There
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: are definitely times like when teams are three by one,
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: And he's basically tilted into the alignment of the slot receiver.
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: And it's just like, man, like get down a little bit,
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: you know, um so you don't get chipped but um.
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: Hutchinson currently right now is the league leader in pressures
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: uh per next gen at 10 pressures he had two
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: 10 pressures and two sacks uh in week one and
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: he also had a pressure rate of 20 so uh pretty.
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: Good yeah yeah no he yeah he's he's for sure
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: good but like i said like jackson hawes you're gonna
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: have a busy day you're gonna be playing in that
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: spot and yeah, I don't know. I think, I think
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: to your, I agree with everything you're saying. Like James
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: Cook is, I don't know. I think he could have
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: a really good day. That's probably going to be the
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: player prop that I have for most of Sunday or
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: most of Thursday.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: Of course you tied it into a bet. I don't
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: know why. I don't know why I thought you wouldn't
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: tie it into betting any. All right. So we're at
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: 48 minutes. Any other, I promised I would get you
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: out on time.
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: Any final thoughts, anything we didn't talk about, anything you
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: think matters, anything, Of anything, offensively, defensively, individual player piece,
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: question you have, anything you got.
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: Now is the time before I send you on your
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: way so you can go to sleep.
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: Man, I don't know. I think I'm good. I think
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: we talked about everything.
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, we went over a really deep dive on
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: the Lions offense, Bills offense just a few minutes ago.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we're good. I don't think I have
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: any questions, dude.
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: Good. I'm going to keep trudging on here.
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: We're going to do some stuff with the live chat
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: and talk about some more things, bills, but I wanted
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: to get you out on time and I'm a man
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: of my word.
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: Well, technically not. I would four minutes past. So I
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: was close though.
• 50:51
  Speaker 4: But just in case people don't know who you are,
• 50:54

• 51:25
  Speaker 3: find me on X at Russ NFL draft.

  Speaker 4: One of the best football minds in this space. I
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: say this sincerely, you coach ball, you know, what's up,
• 52:14
  Speaker 4: you know, the game, you know, individual player evaluation, you know,
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: scheme and structure, both sides of the ball. You're somebody who,
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: you know, can see a play and, Oh, this is
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: the run concept.
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: This is the pass blocking, you know, call here. This
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: is what the protection was.
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: This is what the defense is doing, you know, individual
• 52:31
  Speaker 4: responsibilities and larger schematic things. Um, And I think that
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: makes you so great covering the lions talking NFL in general,
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: but then especially, yeah, of course, but especially the college
• 52:39

  Speaker 4: in the day when you were with cover one, but
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: you are one of the best. I can't imagine how
• 52:47

  Speaker 4: myself like, you know what? I need to watch more
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: college tape during the year and I'm going to do that.
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: And then like, it's already been like a couple of
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: weeks and I haven't watched anything and I'm like, yeah,
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: just screw it.
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: Like I'm going to have to save it until February.
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: Like I always do. And then just grind nonstop.

  Speaker 1: I'm not just saying that. I sincerely mean that.
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: All right, so we're going to trudge on here, talk
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: a little Bills defense and some film evaluation stuff, but
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: anything else as we do here, questions, thoughts, comments, concerns,
• 53:41
  Speaker 4: anything and everything you folks have, feel free to put
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: it into the chat. I'm going to talk about the
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: Bills defense for a little bit, answer some questions from
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: the chat if there are any, or questions, thoughts, comments, concerns.
• 53:53
  Speaker 4: And if there aren't, we'll get out of here in
• 53:54
  Speaker 4: a little bit. But yeah, we'll jump to the live
• 53:56
  Speaker 4: chat and any thoughts that anyone joining us live does have. Um,
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: and in the meantime, as you folks start to bring
• 54:04
  Speaker 4: up some things, I wanted to talk about the bills
• 54:06
  Speaker 4: defense a little bit and getting through the tape. And, um,
• 54:09
  Speaker 4: I heard some of the things that Jim Leonard said
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: at the presser. I watched some parts of it. I
• 54:13
  Speaker 4: didn't get through all of it completely at this point. Um,
• 54:17
  Speaker 4: but you know, him talking about, you know, there are
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: correctable mistakes and being encouraged. And I think one of
• 54:21
  Speaker 4: the lines was, you know, the film, he felt better
• 54:24
  Speaker 4: about the game after watching the tape. Um, I felt
• 54:27
  Speaker 4: somewhat similarly. Start with the run defense. I put it
• 54:32
  Speaker 4: into the chat earlier. I'm going to go back and
• 54:34
  Speaker 4: grab what I said. Yeah, so out of, you know,
• 54:37
  Speaker 4: as week one has been completed right now, the Bills
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: run defense in week one, 27th in EPA per rush allowed,
• 54:43
  Speaker 4: and 23rd in success rate allowed, purely from a run perspective.
• 54:48
  Speaker 4: And that rushing success rate allowed was 58.1%. That is
• 54:50
  Speaker 4: per PFF.
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: That is not.
• 54:55
  Speaker 4: An ideal way to start the year from a rush perspective.
• 55:01
  Speaker 4: From a rushing DVOA perspective, so DVOA puts everybody on
• 55:05
  Speaker 4: an even playing field, considers quality of opponent situation. It's
• 55:11
  Speaker 4: only week one, so sample size across the board for
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: that is a little smaller at this stage, but they
• 55:15
  Speaker 4: were 17th in week one rushing DVOA. And then overall
• 55:20
  Speaker 4: from a DVOA perspective defensively, they are 22nd as of
• 55:25
  Speaker 4: right now. So towards the bottom of the league and
• 55:28
  Speaker 4: some rush defense metrics, kind of, you know, middling to
• 55:32
  Speaker 4: below middling in some others, but watching the game, I
• 55:37
  Speaker 4: did not think, you know, or I, I saw another
• 55:40
  Speaker 4: quote that Jim Leonard said, and I thought it, I
• 55:42
  Speaker 4: thought it was really on point. He mentioned some stuff about,
• 55:44
  Speaker 4: you know, guys playing confidently, kind of just making decisions
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: and playing fast and how he can set guys up
• 55:50
  Speaker 4: better for success in those ways. And I think you
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: did see that, especially in the first half, there were
• 55:53
  Speaker 4: times where guys were, you saw it in coverage, but
• 55:56
  Speaker 4: you saw it in run defense as well, where guys
• 55:59
  Speaker 4: are thinking a little bit. And as they're thinking that
• 56:04
  Speaker 4: quarter of a second, that half a second is the
• 56:06
  Speaker 4: difference between, you know, shooting the gap and making the
• 56:09
  Speaker 4: play in the backfield versus going through the gap and
• 56:12
  Speaker 4: having to lunge and try and make a tackle at
• 56:15
  Speaker 4: David Montgomery, because you weren't able to kind of meet
• 56:17
  Speaker 4: them more in the hole with a better angle and
• 56:18
  Speaker 4: better leverage and better positioning. So I think as the
• 56:22
  Speaker 4: year goes on, I think the run defense can improve.
• 56:25
  Speaker 4: I think there were some correctable aspects in terms of,
• 56:28
  Speaker 4: you know, getting guys to play with more confidence. I
• 56:30
  Speaker 4: think the more they see their, you know, the more
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: they get these reps together, I should say, as a team,
• 56:40
  Speaker 4: as a group, and start to play more together in
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: coverage and against the run, start to get more reps
• 56:45
  Speaker 4: under their belt, start to see more concepts and how
• 56:47
  Speaker 4: teams are going to attack them. I do think that,
• 56:51
  Speaker 4: there is an opportunity for them to improve against the
• 56:54
  Speaker 4: run defense or as a run defense coverage. I think
• 56:58
  Speaker 4: that's the biggest one that I think can improve. They're
• 57:00
  Speaker 4: going to play more match coverages or they're going to
• 57:02
  Speaker 4: play match coverages. For those who don't know what match
• 57:05
  Speaker 4: coverages are, it's just rules-based.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: Coverage, right?
• 57:07
  Speaker 4: You know, if number one does this, I do this.
• 57:10
  Speaker 4: If number two does this, I do this, you do that.
• 57:13
  Speaker 4: But everybody has to see everything at the same time
• 57:17
  Speaker 4: and they have to see the same thing and they
• 57:19
  Speaker 4: have to see the same thing at the same time.
• 57:22
  Speaker 4: And if you don't, that's where there's gaps. That's where
• 57:24
  Speaker 4: guys go running wide open. That's where two guys cover
• 57:27
  Speaker 4: one guy and nobody covers anybody. It's tough to get
• 57:31
  Speaker 4: on the same page with that when you're not playing
• 57:34
  Speaker 4: together all the time. In this offseason, Bernard missed time.
• 57:37
  Speaker 4: Dorian Williams missed time. We get into training camp. Cole
• 57:39
  Speaker 4: Bishop has missed some time. Chauncey Gardner-Johnson has missed some time.
• 57:42
  Speaker 4: Max Harrison has missed some time. Everybody's missed different buckets
• 57:46
  Speaker 4: of time. The starting unit that we saw in week
• 57:49
  Speaker 4: one on the back end Hasn't had a ton of
• 57:51
  Speaker 4: game reps and live bullets together. I think that has
• 57:54
  Speaker 4: the biggest possible uptick going forward.
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: The coverage.
• 57:57
  Speaker 4: I thought they looked pretty good in some man coverage aspects. Um,
• 58:01
  Speaker 4: Benford for as much as Nico was getting catches on
• 58:03
  Speaker 4: him left and right. I thought Benford had some good
• 58:05
  Speaker 4: coverage and good positioning on him on several of those.
• 58:08
  Speaker 4: It was just a really great throw by Stroud, really
• 58:10
  Speaker 4: good ball placement from him and really good catches from
• 58:12
  Speaker 4: Nico dude is big, long and strong and great hands.
• 58:15
  Speaker 4: Like you're just going to get beat. I thought Benford
• 58:17
  Speaker 4: had some good positioning in some aspects. Um, Um, so overall,
• 58:21
  Speaker 4: I don't think the week one performance defensively was good.
• 58:24
  Speaker 4: I do think it is correctable. The biggest thing I'm
• 58:26
  Speaker 4: worried about is I still think at the end of
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: the day, they don't have the horses up front. If
• 58:31
  Speaker 4: teams are going to run at them, I still don't
• 58:32
  Speaker 4: think they have the dudes who can hold up at
• 58:36
  Speaker 4: the point of attack and not get pushed around. There
• 58:38
  Speaker 4: were some rough reps for Dwayne Carter, um, some for
• 58:40
  Speaker 4: Landon Jackson. We'll see what happens with TJ Sanders going forward.
• 58:43
  Speaker 4: I know he missed practice today with an illness. Um, I,
• 58:47
  Speaker 4: you know, walker dan walker had a good game i
• 58:50
  Speaker 4: did a film breakdown on him um when he struggled
• 58:53
  Speaker 4: against the run it was just kind of some typical
• 58:55
  Speaker 4: things of some double teams getting him and moving him
• 58:57
  Speaker 4: a little bit but honestly it was more of him
• 58:59
  Speaker 4: kind of trying to make a play and chucking a
• 59:01
  Speaker 4: guy and torquing a guy and that kind of creating
• 59:04
  Speaker 4: a vulnerability creating a crease creating a hole creating a
• 59:07
  Speaker 4: gap I think that was kind of the more worrisome
• 59:11
  Speaker 4: aspect than it was anything else.
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: But I think.
• 59:17
  Speaker 4: There are correctable mistakes. I think the more this team
• 59:20
  Speaker 4: gets to play together, the more they get more time
• 59:22
  Speaker 4: on task together, in theory, it should go up. I
• 59:27
  Speaker 4: think the floor of this defense will eventually be fine.
• 59:29
  Speaker 4: I worry what the ceiling is. I'm still very much
• 59:32
  Speaker 4: in that mold, even with how they performed in week one,
• 59:35
  Speaker 4: whether things are correctable or not. I think the ceiling
• 59:37
  Speaker 4: of this defense is limited, but I do think overall
• 59:40
  Speaker 4: they're probably going to get to pass and run combined.
• 59:43
  Speaker 4: I don't think this is going to be like their
• 59:45
  Speaker 4: 28th and run and 29th or 31st and 32nd and
• 59:48
  Speaker 4: everything like they were last year. I think in totality,
• 59:51
  Speaker 4: not just like how it averages out, I think between
• 59:53
  Speaker 4: what they are in the past and the run, I
• 59:54
  Speaker 4: think there'll be somewhere for both. I think they'll finish
• 59:57
  Speaker 4: probably somewhere anywhere between like 13th and 19th, 13th and 17th.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 4: You'll have some weeks where, you know, that might, you know,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 4: balloon up a little bit and they perform really well
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 4: and they have a great week or they get a
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 4: bunch of pressures, they get turnovers or they have a
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 4: good performance against the run. I think they'll have some
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 4: weeks where they'll get gashed and they'll give up some points.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 4: It's going to be a work in progress, but I
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 4: think the more time on tasks they get the coverage aspect,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 4: I definitely expect to improve. I just don't know by
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 4: how much, but the more they get more time on task,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 4: the more the match coverage aspect will start to gel.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 4: The run defense, I still think, I do think the
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 4: more confidence they play with, the more they know what
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 4: they're seeing and how to adjust and how to respond,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 4: they will perform better. But I still think they're capped
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 4: based on the body types they have, the positional archetypes
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 4: they're still subscribing to, and then just some of the
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 4: levels that the players have overall.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: But yeah.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 4: Let's start to go through some of the comments. Andrew says,
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 4: I worry about the play action versus the Bills defense.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 4: Dorian seems to get sucked up a lot, and that
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 4: could make us vulnerable to Laporta. I worry about similar
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 4: aspects as well. Dorian looked really good from a movement aspect.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 4: I feel like he slimmed down a bit, but I
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 4: thought he moved around well. and they're locking some coverage
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 4: stuff for him as well. And the guys in general.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 4: So I think he'll get more like simplified responsibilities, which
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 4: I think helps him just play to his strength and
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 4: his speed and allows him to just, you know, point
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 4: and click and attack dudes. But I do still think, yeah,
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 4: his eyes can get them lost a little bit. And
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 4: Laporte is a stud. So I think that's a tough
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 4: matchup regardless. I, You know, even Cole Bishop, I think,
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 4: can match him athletically. But Laporta's got, you know, precision
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 4: on his side and kind of how he moves and
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 4: can operate with some deception. And plus the size and strength,
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 4: even though Bishop has some size and strength. I think
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 4: Laporta's a tough task for most teams and most players
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 4: in general. And I think that holds true for this
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 4: matchup as well. Joshua says, how fearful are you of
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 4: Amon Ra? Who will he get matched against, and will
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 4: he eat in fantasy? I do think he will eat
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 4: in fantasy. I think he's going to get matched up
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 4: against D. Alford a bunch, and then some of the linebackers,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 4: depending on how in between the numbers he's running his routes.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 4: But I think it'll be between Alford, some of the backers,
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 4: and then Cole Bishop if the Bills continue to roll
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 4: with this high dime rate like they did in Week 1.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 4: For those who don't know, overall in Week 1, the—
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 4: Buffalo Bills defense, as I pull up my numbers. Overall,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 4: they had a 22.8% dime rate. So dime, six defensive backs. 22.8%
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 4: dime rate in week one. That was fifth in the league.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 4: On third downs, they had a 61.1% dime rate, which
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 4: was third. So third downs and or known passing down
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 4: in distances situations, you're going to get dime. When that
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 4: was happening, Hamlin and Chauncey were the deep safeties. Cole
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 4: Bishop was down. sometimes operating as like a dime linebacker.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 4: Sometimes operating as another apex player opposite of D Alford. Um,
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 4: so I say all that to say, I'm on Ross
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 4: going to get work against Alford, the backers, and then
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 4: Cole Bishop. Um, I do expect him to do well,
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 4: and I think he'll be productive in fantasy. Adrian says,
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 4: it's so funny how entering the season, you were high
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 4: on the DBS and worried about the D line. And
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 4: in the game, it was the total opposite. I don't
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 4: necessarily think it was the total opposite. Um, you know,
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 4: the DBS, um, you know, and even, even with what
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 4: happened in the past game, it wasn't all on the DBs.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 4: Some of it was on the linebackers as well. And
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 4: I don't think the defense really, I mean, the defensive
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 4: line got pushed around a bunch and got run on
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 4: a bit. Some of the pressure metrics were nice and
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 4: they did have some big moments when it came to pressures.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 4: And obviously, you know, I think multiple sacks, some forced
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 4: fumbles in that regard, but I did think CJ Stroud
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 4: had a lot of time to operate from the pocket
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 4: and And let's see, overall on the week, the Bills were, oof, yeah,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 4: I was going to say, from a team defense perspective, overall,
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 4: the Bills per next gen were last in the league
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 4: in week one in pressure rate at 21.4% pressure rate,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 4: which is not ideal. And then they were 17th in
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 4: average time to pressure at 2.77 seconds, so almost three. Um, no,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 4: not three to get literally between two and a half
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 4: and three, almost a two and a quarter. Uh, but yeah,
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 4: they had a 21.4% pressure rate in week one, which
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 4: was 32nd. So I don't think, I don't think the
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 4: D line had some stud performance. I think Walker had
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 4: some nice moments. Rousseau had some nice moments. I think
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 4: that Oliver had a better game than is kind of
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 4: showing up on the stat sheet. He had a couple
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 4: of real nice rushes, uh, mainly against Ed Ingram, who
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 4: got worked by Dion Walker as well, kind of showing
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 4: back to his, uh, Minnesota days where he was just
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 4: giving up pressures left and right. But I think the
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 4: DB stuff is tied to the linebackers. I think it's
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 4: more just match coverage things. I'm still higher on the
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 4: DBs than I am the D line. And I don't
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 4: think the D line had a, had a stud game.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: They got moved around some in.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 4: The run game along with the front in general, but
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 4: they got moved around a bit in the run game.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 4: And then they did not, they don't front didn't have
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 4: a high pressure rate. So I don't think I necessarily
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 4: played it out that way, but I, I do see
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 4: the thought of how that kind of came from.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: Greenlight says it's all about communication. It will get better. Laura,
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: what's up, Laura? Laura says, I'm afraid I'm late at
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: no worries. She says, however, uh, there are two schools
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: of thought. I'm Max worried or not worried thoughts. I'm
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: still in the middle.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 4: I I'm not, I'm not worried. Um, I think he's
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 4: still a guy who's learning. He had a rookie season
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 4: where he didn't really have a full rookie season. He
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 4: got hurt at the end. He was hurt at the beginning.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 4: He's still learning. Um, You know, I think it's kind
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 4: of six of one, half a dozen of the other
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 4: between him and Igbenosin. I would probably take Max over
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 4: Igbenosin at this point, although Igbenosin had that really great
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 4: pass breakup on that third and two. And I do
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 4: trust Igbenosin more as a tackler and coming forward. I'm
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 4: not going to say worried. I'm still where I am
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 4: on him, which is I'm like, meh. And I don't
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 4: mean to say that as a cop out, but I
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 4: was that way when he came out of Kentucky. I
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 4: liked some of his traits and his skill set pieces,
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 4: but I thought he you know, he had to work
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 4: more in man coverage than was getting talked about. And
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 4: I thought his tackling was a concern just because of
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 4: his size and frame and angles and how little margin
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 4: for error that he had. And I still think all
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 4: of those things are present within his game. So I'm
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 4: still in the same boat. So I actually, no, I
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 4: would lean more towards not worried because I still feel
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 4: the same as I did before where he is right
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 4: now for me, it's still kind of par for the course.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: So I'm not worried.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 4: Space Coast Mafia says, do you think we will see
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 4: some Hancock this week? I would, I'm not trying to
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 4: open this can of worms or Pandora's box here, but
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 4: I would rather see Jordan Hancock as a dime DB
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 4: and the dime safety than I would DeMar Hamlin just
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 4: at this point. But I do think Hamlin presents a
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 4: high floor. This is a conversation we've had for years.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 4: I think Hamlin does provide a high floor. Just, I
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 4: would like to see something else. I would like more juice,
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 4: more athleticism, something that offers you some playmaking ability. And
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 4: I thought Hancock showed well in the preseason. Granted, preseason
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 4: is not regular season. And his role in the regular
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 4: season last year was very, very, very siloed in terms
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 4: of what they asked him and what he did. So
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 4: even though he's a second-year player, he's still more of
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 4: a rookie than he is a true second-year player when
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 4: it comes to time on task and game experience. Though
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 4: he did play in games, his role was just so
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 4: limited and siloed. I don't think we're going to see
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 4: Hancock yet, but I would like to. Greenlight says Montgomery,
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 4: 20 rushes for 60 yards is pretty good. I think
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 4: we need to get off of the notion of, you know,
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 4: just how many like yards per carry being the only
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 4: metric of that. You know, he had 20 for 60.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 4: Woody Marks had, I think that's a big one too.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 4: Like people point to the Montgomery. He's like, oh, he
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 4: had like 20 for 60, but then Woody Marks had
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 4: nine for 42. Stroud counts in that as well at
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 4: two for 15. But Marks had some chunks. Montgomery had some.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 4: And then from a run defense standpoint as well, The
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 4: Bills also gave up four runs of 10 yards or more,
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 4: which on the week is 21st.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: Dive for 21st.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 4: They did have a high, if I'm correct, stuff rate,
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 4: which are runs of zero or less yards. They had
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 4: a stuff rate of 25%. So we saw some negative
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 4: play generation. We saw some guys penetrate, get into the backfield,
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 4: make some tackles for loss, make some tackles for no gain,
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 4: which was nice to see. Also, from a run defense standpoint,
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 4: they were 14th in rush yards over expected. per attempt.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 4: Yards after contact per attempt. Let's see, where were they
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 4: at there? They were 13th, so much better than they
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 4: were last year. Not a great number at two and
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 4: a half yards, but much better than they were last year, which...
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 4: was I think 3.93 and was last in the league.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: So not good at all.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 4: But yeah, if you're looking at rushing yards per play allowed,
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 4: they were pretty decent on the week. They finished 11th
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 4: at that 3.9 yards allowed per rush.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: Which was 11th.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 4: But if you look at the advanced metrics, some of
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 4: the situational stuff, I do think it speaks to them
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 4: needing to improve again, watching the tape. I think it's
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 4: more correctable stuff than it is like, Oh God, everything's
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 4: on fire, but I still think they're, They need to
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 4: correct that stuff, but then also they're still going to
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 4: have problems at the point of attack with people. But
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 4: you've got to dance with who brought you, and they
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 4: brought the same people as they did before, essentially. Zesty says,
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 4: I feel a lot better about Benford after watching the All-22.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 4: Really like the physicality in the second half. Yeah, he
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 4: had some good coverage reps. And again, even the ones
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 4: where Nico got the ball, Benford was on him in
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 4: some spots. Cole Bishop was on Nico in a good spot,
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 4: but it was just some good ball placement. from Stroud,
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 4: some good catches, um, from Nico. And sometimes you just
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 4: got to tip your cap and say, dude, got it.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 4: And kind of is what it is at points. Charles says,
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 4: I like the tackling spacing and aggressiveness. I don't love
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 4: the tackling. They had a higher missed tackle rate than
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 4: I'd like, um, overall, but it can improve. Um, I
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 4: think also some of the two is you have smaller
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 4: frame dudes at the second level, you know, or, and
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 4: if you're not taking angles, right. Or you are getting
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 4: pushed around, like you have to play around blocks. You
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 4: have to play around bigger guys that you're getting shoulders
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 4: and arms on guys. And then you're bouncing off dudes.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 4: And especially like a guy like Montgomery who can break tackles,
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 4: even what he marks to a degree. I think if
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 4: they clean up their fits and their positioning, it will
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 4: lead to better tackling. I don't think they have the
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 4: best individual tacklers, but, But I do think if they
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 4: clean up their run fits and the structure of it,
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 4: that will lead to better positioning, better bodies.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: Around the football.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 4: The tackling will get better. And, yeah, some of the
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 4: coverage stuff, I think some of the spacing was nice.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 4: I did like some of the aggressiveness as well. But, yeah,
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 4: to your point, still young, not enough difference makers. I
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 4: agree on both of those completely. They are young, and
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 4: I don't think they have enough difference makers. But I
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 4: think with Leonard, he can get him to a high
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 4: enough floor where the defense is not a vulnerability. I
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 4: think this is a re-comment from before, so I guess
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 4: we're just commenting the same thing.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 3: That's fair.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: Laura says, Dan Campbell is the most go-for-it coach I've
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: ever seen.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's absolutely a maniac when it comes to that,
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 4: when it comes to anything. Going for it on fourth down.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 4: Ultra aggressive and a good coach. Steve says, hoping Hancock's
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 4: injury status is the reason why he's not playing. Trust
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 4: the youth when he is healthy.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: That's fair. Steve says lions being possibly down to starting
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: tackling guard could be helpful for our defensive line.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 3: 1000%.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 4: And I will take all the help we can get. Um,
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 4: if they are down multiple dudes on the interior, even
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 4: if Blake Miller's down, that's helpful for the bills. Um,
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 4: I am worried about this lion's offense.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: They're good, man. Like they've been good for years. They
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: were good with Ben Johnson. They're good.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 4: Now pet sing had success against the bills when he
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 4: was with the Cardinals a couple of years ago in
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 4: Buffalo in week one. Um, I think they have the
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 4: capability to kind of run through the Bills a bit
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 4: and to pass through the Bills. And that's not necessarily
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 4: a knock against the Bills. The Lions have a really
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 4: good offense. Like, Jared Goff has been a good quarterback
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 4: in that scheme and in that system. Amon Ra is sweet.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 4: J-Mo is sweet. Laporte is sweet. Gibbs is awesome. Like,
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 4: they got a bunch of horses on that offense. So
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 4: I would take any. Anybody being out would be helpful
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 4: for the Bills, 1,000%. Andrew says, would you rather see
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 4: Shaq than Dorian at this point? I would, yes. I
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 4: just trust Shaq more. He's seen a lot of football.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 4: I think he understands where to be and how to be.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 4: That being said, I would rather see Shaq. I don't
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 4: think Dorian Williams is bad. I just think he's more
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 4: of a You know, if you're a team starting two linebackers,
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 4: I think Dorian is more of a linebacker three than
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 4: he is a solid starting linebacker two. I think Shaq
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 4: is probably a low end two or a higher end three.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 4: And I just trust all the football that he's seen
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 4: being in the right place at the right time. I
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 4: still think he has enough movement. I mean, let me backtrack.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 4: I haven't seen him really this year. But based off
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 4: of what he was last year, if he is that again,
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 4: or similar to that, yes, I would rather see Shaq
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 4: than Dorian. But again, that being said, I don't think
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 4: the gap is huge between them. And I don't think
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 4: Dorian played bad in week one.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 4: So he says, thinking about a blown coverage on JMO
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 4: sends a shiver down my spine.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 4: I mean, a blown coverage on any of their dudes,
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 4: like they can all fly. Like if you, and that's,
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 4: what's tough too, with even like the run at the
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 4: run game aspect. Like if you're not sound, in your
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 4: run fit against your mere Gibbs, he's gone.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: And it's not like, Oh, he's gone for 10 yards.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: He's gone for a house call.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 4: If you miss a tackle house call, if you've got
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 4: two guys in the same gap house call, like, and
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 4: you're living with that in the past game as well.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 4: Like I'm on rock and move. I know he doesn't
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 4: have the long speed that JMO has, but Tesla can move.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 4: Like they got some dudes who could scoot, man, obviously
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 4: headlined by JMO who, if yeah, if you get caught
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 4: in a blitz at the wrong time and they kick
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 4: it out to JMO on a smoke screen or a tunnel.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: Oh boy.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 4: Let alone him just, running by somebody, um, completely, which yeah,
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 4: Charles says shootout incoming Thursday night games used to be
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 4: like automatic shootouts because like it's a short week and
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 4: it's wonky. And then I feel like last year kind
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 4: of turned into like Thursday night games were automatic, like
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 4: low scoring and kind of sloppy. Thursday night games are
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 4: always wonky, man. Guys aren't healthy and they're not recovered
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 4: from the game a couple of days before. It's week
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 4: two guys aren't in game shape yet. They're probably extra
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 4: sore and extra tired from playing in week one.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: It's a short week. Both defenses have question.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 4: I do expect a shootout, but then again, I expected
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 4: a lower scoring game in week one and it ended
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 4: up being a shootout.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: Actually JP and I even joked about that.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 4: I think on the show of being like, you know,
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 4: we're expecting 23, 17, 23, 20, watch it be like 45, 41.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 4: And look what it ended up being. But I do
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 4: expect high scoring. I expect like 30 to 27. I
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 4: expect 35 to 30, um, something like that. I expect
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 4: touchdowns and, uh, both offenses kind of gunning for one
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 4: another back and forth, kind of similar to, um, um,
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 4: the game in Detroit a couple of years ago. Granted,
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 4: like I know the bills had the lead and then
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 4: Detroit came back and chucked it around and ended, I
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 4: think it was like 48, 42 maybe. Um, but yeah, I,
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 4: I do expect, I expect points.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: I expect points. RJ says, yes, they need to bring
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: up Shaq for this game. Fair.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 4: More. He says, everybody going to expect the 48 for, Oh,
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 4: so it was 40.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: Okay. Well, yeah, I think we're talking about the same deal.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: I think it was 48, 42. Every came where he says,
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: everybody going.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 4: To expect the 48, 42 barn burner, like a few
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 4: years ago, but it's definitely 21, 17. So that's exactly
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 4: what it'll be. And get Gibbs and cook will combine
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 4: for like 60 rushing yards. And Alan and golf will
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 4: combine for like 300 passing yards. And it'll be sloppy
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 4: and defensive filled. And that's how it'll be. Cause that's
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 4: just how it always works. Chad says, I thought our
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 4: tackling was great. Was Leonard the one stressing the tackling
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 4: in Denver? Because their tackling was awful.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's week one. We'll see kind of what happens.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 4: I actually fell asleep early last night and missed a
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 4: good chunk of Denver and Kansas City. But the Bills tackling,
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 4: I mentioned it earlier, and I'm going to grab it
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 4: again right now. I don't think the Bills tackling... overall
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 4: was great in week one um let's see versus the
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 4: run the bills were i put in the chat earlier
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 4: but i'm grabbing it from everything now uh overall against
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 4: the run last week or in week one the bills
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 4: were 27th and missed tackle rate uh they missed eight
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 4: tackles oh wait no they missed seven tackles against the
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 4: run for a 19.4 percent miss rate so they were
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 4: 27th um, in missed tackle rate against the run in
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 4: week one overall, they were 13th in missed tackle rate, uh,
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 4: at 13%. So that means their missed tackle rate against
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 4: the past must've been pretty good. Um, um, uh, missed
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 4: tackle rate of 11.4 against the past, which was good
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 4: enough for 12th. Um, so work in progress against the
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 4: run better against the past. So near top 10 overall,
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 4: which is fair. Um, but a work in progress against
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 4: the run from a mistackling perspective. I also too think
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 4: week one, offensively, defensively, not just for the Bills, week
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 4: one is a lie.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: We'll see.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 4: If we're going off week one, the Houston Texans defense
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 4: is going to be terrible this year. I don't think
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 4: that's going to end up being the case, just for
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 4: that example. I don't think Kansas City's defense is going
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 4: to be as lights out as it was. I think
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 4: the Chargers will somewhat right the ship. I don't think
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 4: the Cardinals are going to do what they did all
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 4: the time in week one.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: Um, but we'll see.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: I'm always has got to take the good with the
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: bad with the Dorian with Dorian.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 4: You do. And again, I think he's improved. I think
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 4: there is more good than there was last year. And
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 4: the year before he's improved every year. I still just
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 4: think he's more of a linebacker three than he is
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 4: even a low tier two. Copy says who you got winning.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 4: I am far too superstitious to do predictions, but I
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 4: respect you asking. Connor says it would feel really billsy
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 4: if we somehow give up 31 points to Houston, but
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 4: hold the lines to under 30.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: Yes, it would.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 4: And it would be more billsy to hold the lines
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 4: under 30 and then lose. Green lights is first to
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 4: 40 wins.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 2: Connor says first.
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: To 50 wins with an asterisk. That's fair.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 4: Uh, Zesty says, how would you evaluate all first performance? Um,
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 4: I do think, let's see from a coverage standpoint, I
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 4: don't think he was bad at all. Um, He and
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 4: Bernard had a miscommunication on that one pass over the
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 4: middle to Xavier Hutchinson where Woody Marks was also wide open.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 4: I think that was one of the ones at the
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 4: end of the first half, I think. But other than that,
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 4: I thought he was pretty sound. Had some good man
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 4: coverage reps. Had some good match coverage reps. I think
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 4: he's a sound corner. He's got good spatial awareness. He
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 4: knows what he's doing. I think he's got good spatial recognition.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 4: He understands everything. where to be and how to leverage routes.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 4: He had a couple good man coverage reps. So I
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 4: think Alford was fine. I don't think he was a hole.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 4: I don't think he was bad. I don't think he
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 4: was a huge plus player and a difference maker. But
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 4: I don't think he was bad in any way, shape,
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 4: or form. So I thought Alford was fine.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 4: Perfectly, I don't mean this to sound negative or like
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 4: a backhanded compliment, a perfectly good nickel performance, which is fine.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: And I don't mean fine like it's fine. I mean like, yeah, good, fine.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 4: RJ says there's no way the bills tackling was as
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 4: bad as Denver's last night was the worst tackling I've
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 4: ever seen in the NFL. No, it wasn't as bad
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 4: as Denver's, but it's still against the run still was
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 4: not good. Like you can be better than Denver's tackling
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 4: was and still also be not good. Like getting, getting
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 4: punched in the eye is better than getting stabbed in
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 4: the eye, but both of them are not good. And
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 4: I would rather not have either or, and just Denver
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 4: got stabbed in the eye. The bills got punched in
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 4: the eye. So yeah, I'd rather get punched and stabbed,
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 4: but either is still not great.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: But fair point. to Denver's tackling. Actually, if let's, uh,
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: where are we here? Let's see.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 4: Bah, bah, bah. Overall, Denver had the highest missed tackle
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 4: rate of week one at 27.5%. Uh, 7.5 percentage points
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 4: higher than the bears and Jags who were tied for 30th, uh,
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 4: at 20%.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: So really rough.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 4: So the worst overall missed tackle rate belonged to Denver
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 4: in week one. Uh, they had the second worst missed
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 4: tackle rate against the run at 24.4%. So five percentage
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 4: points worse than the Bills there. And then their missed
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 4: tackling against the pass, they were 27th at 18.2%. So yeah,
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 4: really bad performance from tackling for Denver.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: Across the board. Rough, rough, rough, rough, rough. K.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 4: Morris said Denver had worse tackling than in the 70-20 loss.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 4: I think it was bottom 10 tackling performance this decade. Oh, man,
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 4: I can't even imagine what their missed tackling was in
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 4: that 70-20 game.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: I just remember.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 4: like four guys being on the ground and Devon a
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 4: Chan just running for, for days and days.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: It was so bad.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 4: Zesty says not bills related, but man watching Devin Witherspoon
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 4: blitz is a thing of beauty. Absolutely is one of
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 4: my favorite things. I even have a thread of it
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 4: on social is watching the end zone angle of his
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 4: blitzes because he just comes completely off camera. Like you're
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 4: watching the end zone view that's shown the box and
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 4: out of nowhere on the snap, Devin Witherspoon just comes
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 4: like zooming into the frame and he shoots a gap
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 4: or blow somebody up or levels the quarterback or heats
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 4: him up and still hits him.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: It's one of the most fun. He's one of the
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: most fun players in football.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 4: Dude is an absolute velociraptor in every way, shape and form.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 4: He is the prototypical example of when I, I've been
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 4: using that word for years. I started using it first
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 4: with the 49ers defense because of how Fred Warner and
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 4: Dre Greenlaw played and Witherspoon plays like that.
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: Just, as a DB and he can cover on top
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: of it. Just an absolute monster. So fun. Yeah. Witherspoon
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: is sick. One of the most fun players to watch
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: in football.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 4: Steve says, can we just please burn the PFF grades?
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 4: I guess I just do. I just do not see
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 4: a game like that crew does. I don't pay attention
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 4: to PFF grades. I haven't really ever. I don't know
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 4: if this is in reference to something specific or something
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 4: that happened recently. Did the bills get bad PFF grades
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 4: or did somebody get bad PFF grades? I apologize if
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 4: I'm out of the loop on this conversation, but PFF grades,
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 4: no disrespect, have been meaningless to me for years.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: I think PFF's metrics are awesome.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 4: Everything else that they do in terms of the advanced
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 4: metrics and the availability of it for years, in terms
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 4: of what they do with coverage rates and any advanced
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 4: metric data I can't even get like, but EPA stuff,
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 4: success rate stuff, yards per route run, like pass rush,
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 4: win rate and pressure rate. And, uh, you know, all
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 4: this stuff, unblock pressures and how they, how they tie
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 4: in everything. I mean, there's a reason why NFL teams
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 4: use next gen and they also use PFF.
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: I still believe as well. Um, but yeah, they, uh,
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: I don't subscribe to the grades.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 4: I don't, I never have just cause I think it's
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 4: a really arbitrary in terms of what their process is.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 4: I still don't even know what the process is, but,
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 4: I also don't, too, and this isn't even a knock
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 4: against PFF. I just I subscribe to my own things
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 4: better for worse. I'm the same thing come come draft season.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 4: I don't pay attention to anyone else's draft board. I
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 4: bury my head in the sand until I put together
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 4: my own top 125 or top 150. And then I
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 4: come up and then I see who other people had.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 4: So I've never subscribed to anyone else's grades. literally or figuratively,
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 4: and definitely not PFFs. But I think the rest of
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 4: their data suite or center, whatever they call it, I
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 4: think is fantastic. Greenlight says, you think they'll keep elevating
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 4: Dortch in the next two games so they have to
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 4: sign with the 53?
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: Yes, I do. Just because they don't have another answer
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: anywhere else.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 4: Zesty says, pretty sure Caleb Williams got graded the 20th
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 4: best QB performance or something like.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: That by PFF, that is.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 4: Oof.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: That's harsh.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 4: Oh, so that probably started a whole wildfire of conversation today.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 4: I can imagine that. I'm going to have to go
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 4: back and check on social. That's crazy. Charles says, Malachi
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 4: Tony the Bills in 2027 manifested now.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: If I can manifest that now, are you kidding me?
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: Hell yeah. Sign me up right now. I have no
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: questions asked. That's it.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 4: RJ says somehow Josh having 77 per week completion percentage
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 4: and eight out of 13 and a half and four
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 4: TDs can net you an average PFF grade demonstrate ever.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 4: I don't know. As he says, Charles, I might tear
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 4: up if that happens. Um, RJ saying PFF also hates Saibo.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 4: I don't think they've, I mean, I don't know what
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 4: they graded him, but I do know like his, his
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 4: past blocking metrics were bad. Um, last year in terms
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 4: of pressures given up and like how much he got beat. Um,
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 4: And I don't think that's necessarily a PFF grade thing.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 4: That's just more of like, are you giving up a pressure?
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 4: Yes or no.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: Now you could put it up there and say like,
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: maybe they're charting him.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 4: In certain ways. And like, they're, you know, attributing pressures
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 4: to him. That might not be his fault, yada, yada.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 4: But I do know his pass, his pass blocking, not grades,
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 4: but just like efficiency rates, which are all just how
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 4: many pass rushing pass blocking snaps do you have versus
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 4: pressures given up? sacks given up and how that correlates
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 4: um i know his his numbers weren't great there and
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 4: i don't think that's necessarily pff thing i do think
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 4: it was somewhat fair especially based on what the table
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 4: is but when it comes to pure grades i have
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 4: no idea i've never paid attention to a pff grade
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 4: in years um but.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah i've never paid attention to their grades.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 4: I also i mean i also think people also use
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 4: them arbitrarily like the pff grades suck if they say
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 4: your guy is bad and then if they're great somebody
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 4: wants to cite them and use them and be like.
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: Look what his grade was so i'm gonna say.
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 4: Charles says, Gino and Brissette, I think we're high up
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 4: on PFFs. I mean, I got to watch the Cardinals
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 4: offense tape, but I think they had a good week,
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 4: so maybe that's not crazy.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: That's funny.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 4: Kevin says, hopefully the Bills defense gets better the more
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 4: they play this new system. I do think that will happen.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 4: I just don't know by how much. I don't think
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 4: they're going to get better to the point where they
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 4: become a top 10 defense, but I think they will
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 4: get better overall to a defense that is across DVOA, EPA,
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 4: and success rate run and pass. And in totality, I
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 4: think they'll end up somewhere between 14 and 19 this year.
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 4: And I think they'll end up being a team that,
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 4: I mean, week one, they gave up 31 points. So
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 4: it's not a great start, but I think from a
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 4: points given up per game perspective, even though that's not
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 4: also like a holistic aspect of way or a way
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 4: to look at, I think they'll end up being a
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 4: defense that gives up around 25 points a game when
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 4: you average it all out, which I think will be
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 4: fine on in totality and, or, and, or on the whole.
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: Speaking of on the whole.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 4: Getting yourself a whole half sheet, quarter sheet pizza from
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 4: one pie pizza is one of the best decisions you
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 4: could make this week. One pie pizza, the best pizza
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 4: in Buffalo. I don't say that because they sponsored the show.
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 4: They sponsored the show because I sincerely believe they are
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 4: the best pizza in Buffalo. The bills play Thursday night.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 4: We all know this. There would be nothing better.
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: Sincerely. And I'm saying this because this is exactly what
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: I'm going to do. There would be nothing better.
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 4: Than getting yourself some one pie pizza before that bills game.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 4: You're going to go to work, get out of work.
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 4: Before you go home, get yourself some one pie pizza.
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 4: Maybe you're taking off for the day. Get yourself some
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 4: one pie pizza. Maybe you're going to the game and
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 4: you're taking off on Friday. Enjoy your day off on
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 4: Friday with some one pie pizza. I am extremely excited.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 4: I was going to get it for last week, week one.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 4: And then I was like, you know what? No, like
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 4: I'm going to get it for Thursday night opener. So
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 4: I'm excited to get myself some one pie pizza this week.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 4: You should be too. Sweet sauce pie, cup of charred pepperoni,
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 4: creative different toppings and pizza options. They do different sizing options.
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: They sprinkle.
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 4: The toppings evenly across the pie. If you're getting stuff,
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 4: they'll chop them up and give even distribution, really good
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 4: cheese to sauce ratio. I know that might sound foolish
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 4: to some, but I hate pizzas where you bite and
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 4: then the cheese comes off or it's always falling apart
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 4: or it's, it's like, uh, kind of charred a little
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 4: bit and you feel like it's hardened and you're picking
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 4: it off or it just doesn't feel great. It doesn't
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 4: have a good texture or taste. They tick the box
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 4: in every way, shape and form. And that might not
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 4: even be the best thing they do. Their homemade blue
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 4: cheese is absolutely phenomenal. So get yourself some one pie pizza, uh,
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 4: They also have a catering division called Elevated Catering of Buffalo.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: Phenomenal non-pizza food.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 4: Through there, but you can also combine some pizza with
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 4: that stuff. If you get stuff from the catering division,
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 4: they do a really good breakfast pie. They are sincerely
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 4: one of the best things I've ever eaten in my
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 4: entire life and the best pizza in Buffalo, New York.
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 4: So get yourself some one-pie pizza. If you're coming into
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 4: town for the game, you're coming in during the day,
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 4: get yourself some one-pie before you head to the stadium
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 4: for tailgating or whatever You know, if you're heading back
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 4: out on Friday, get yourself some one pie before you
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 4: head out. You will not be disappointed. Get yourself some
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 4: one pie pizza. Really good people making really good food.
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 4: And I say really good people because of all the
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 4: initiatives and kindness that they have and give and share
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 4: and show.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: Towards the city of Buffalo.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 4: Partnering with Roswell, partnering with the SBCA, the Alzheimer's Foundation,
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 4: Toys for Tots, which is right around the corner in
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 4: a couple months for the holidays. They just give back.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 4: And that's aside from making great food, which is already
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 4: kind of good enough. So get yourself some one pie pizza.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 4: the best in Buffalo, New York. I'm throwing up the
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 4: banners as to those folks. Cause we were going to
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 4: start to wind down and say goodbye. If there was

  Speaker 4: Enjoyed this episode. As I mentioned in the intro, I
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 4: dropped a film breakdown of Deion Walker yesterday, breaking down
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 4: seven of his plays, four run defense snaps, three pass
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 4: rush snaps, tied in some plays from some other players
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 4: in the game in week one, tied in some front
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 4: structure stuff and some mechanics and some schematic things. So
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 4: a good breakdown, I think, at least. So if you
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 4: want to see some of that, some film of the
• 1:31:19
