• 1:52
  Speaker 1: bit a housekeeping announcement. We have moved, as you can
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: clearly see a different background, different little setup we got
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: going on here. You will continue to see changes as
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: we go forward and things get fully furnished and set
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: up and moved over. So before anybody any questions, thoughts,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: comments concerns about that. As always though, I made sure
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: to make sure the tree was here and in its
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: full form and luster. Also got an adorable little cat
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: and a little pink little jack lantern there for Halloween
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: housekeeping done. In this episode of Disgui's coverage, we will
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: be diving into a buffalo bills by week, checklist fixes, focuses,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: areas of concern, areas for potential improvement. Wow, I know,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of cobbas. This would just
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: gotta be real quick. It's from Kbor. You said the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: tree isn't on fire. It doesn't reflect the state of
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the team. Well then, oh, thank you very much. Williams
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: said the tree survived the move. Congratulations on the new place.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: The tree almost didn't. I was very nervous for it
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: in transit, but I took extra special care of it
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and it came through a pretty clean So yeah, I
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: think for that art, just as we have the tree,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: that's all we did. I appreciate that. Yeah. So not
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: an ideal state for the Buffalo Bills. Back to back losses,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: and not only the losses themselves, but do you think
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the way that the losses came about, starting with the
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Patriots and then this game against the Falcons two performances
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: that are not ideal, Two performances that really show potential
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: vulnerabilities on both sides of the ball from a schematic standpoint,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: from a personnel standpoint, several of them I'm pretty frustrated with.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to go into this episode very level headed
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: because a lot of the frustrations that I have with
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: the team and some of the vulnerabilities they have are
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: things that we talked about on the show multitude of
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: times during the offseason. Right, certain areas, certain archetypes that
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: they look towards at certain position groups, certain philosophies or
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: identities that they have on each side of the ball
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: or specific sides of the ball. It seems like those
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: you know, issues have really kind of come to a
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: head the past couple of weeks. Now that doesn't mean
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: they can't fix them. It doesn't mean those won't be
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: issues going forward. But there are several points I think
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: that will be made in this episode that a lot
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: of people could have seen coming, that a lot of
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: people may have predicted, and so to see them come
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: to fruition in the annoying fashion that they have come
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: to fruition is frustrating in a multitude of ways. So
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: we're going to dive into those points. As I mentioned
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: in the chat earlier, this show is always very engagement focused,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: you know. I like to make it about the live
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: chat as much as possible, So questions, thoughts, comments, concerns,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: anything and everything that you folks have on your mind.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: As I try to recenter the camera there put it
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: into the live chat. Superchats as always get priority because
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I respect a monetary donation and the color attracts me
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: from my notes. But also, you know, again that's how
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: we operate here normally, but especially given the current state
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: of the team, I know there's a lot of thoughts
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: on the coaching staff, on the players, on Bean, on
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: what's going to happen going forward on what happened in
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the past, So anything and everything, questions, thoughts, comments, concerns,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: let's put it up into the chat. I'm gonna lead
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: off with some pieces from the live chat, just kind
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: of go through, and then we'll start to get into
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: my notes, my thoughts. We'll see how it ties into everything.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of people make comments or reverences
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: to this being like a therapy session or like a
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: venting session. But if that's what you need, feel free
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: have at it. And yeah, let's enjoy this Tuesday night,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: even though the bills are two in the past two
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: weeks and we're less than twenty four hours move from
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: a pretty ugly loss, Jason says. In this episode of
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: The Guy's coverage, Ant fights off off calls to fire
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the coaches and tries to have a productive conversation. I
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: will try to do that to a degree. We'll see,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: James says. Old man down down by the docks of
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the city, drunk and dirty, asked me for a dime
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: for a couple of coffee. Well played, oh, Cecil says,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: just fire the coaches or fire the GM two who
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I think we're going to talk about how everything kind
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: of coalesces into one. Oh, this is incorrect. Comment here
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: says this team could go Ohen seventeen and one would
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: still be defending McDermott until he's finally shown the door.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Then we'd get a video on why McDermott had to
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: be fired, like we did with Dorsey. I don't know
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: who this is in reference to. I don't think it's
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: a reference to me. I started mentioning issues with Dorsey,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: you know, the year before he was fired. I also
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: when he got fired, I thought he got way too
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: much flat than he actually deserved. And then when it
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: comes to McDermott, I've always said, like, if he goes fine,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I just don't think the grass is necessarily always greener
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: on the other side, and I think there's a multitude
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: of variables. I don't think when people come in and just,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: you know, blanket make blanket statements about the brand, like
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: everybody thinks the same way and sees things the same way.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: People are doing that on Twitter. To me too, this
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: is you know, I get you all have frustrations, but
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: don't try to just lash out at one person and
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: not treat them as an individual, but to each their
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: own have fun, do you? Joey says last week I
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: only needed a therapy session. This week, I might need
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: you to institutionalize me for twenty four days. My goodness,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: we're not playing good right now. Let's keep going. Bob says,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I've decided to eliminate tea and coffee as a beverage
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: of choice for tonight and opted to pop open a
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: bottle of rubbing alcohol. Oh see, so this is brutal
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: seesus is sadder the days that watching the Giants is
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: more enjoyable than watching the Bills? Is this a sign
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: of the apocalypse? Pop's mafia? What's up? I hope you're
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: doing well. Pop says, fix this in all caps, Joey
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: showing some love for the tree. Appreciate you, appreciate you. Oh,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: follow up comment here, This says an what's it going
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: to take for McDermott to get fired? Oh? This is
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the same person who kind of blanketed statement. Oh and
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I see this scroll down there. It's in reference to
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the entire cover one. Cool in general. Cool. I don't
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: necessarily think the same way as everyone else, So I
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: would appreciate it if you treated me as me and
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: not just tog in the wheel or spoke in the wheel,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: because I think I operate a little differently. Thank you
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: appreciate William Heath's cover one is not a monolith. Appreciate that.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I will go back to your other question, though, I'm Sabbath,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: and what's it gonna take for McDermott to get fired.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: We've talked about that on the show at times. You
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: talked about it in the offseason. I've talked about it
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: on other shows. I don't know, because I think from
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: a Terry Pagoula standpoint, he's earned a good amount of rope,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: him and Brandon being with what they've built here, what
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: they've done. And I also think just from a pragmatic standpoint,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I understand the big picture is to win the super Bowl.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: And this is what I've always said on McDermott. I'm
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: gonna continue to say it now. For me personally, the
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: wheels would really have to fall off kind of how
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: they've been the past couple of weeks. I would need
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: to see a multitude of things that show there is
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: a failure on an execution level and a schematic level,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: but also from like a cultural or a discipline level.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: So continuing to have pre snap penalties, continuing to play sloppy,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: continuing to look lackluster in their execution and in their energy,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: continuing to just falter. From a mental standpoint and a
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: physical standpoint, I would really have to start to see
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: a lot of things you wrote. And for me, I
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: think that because I recognize the goal is to win
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the super Bowl, but to win the super Bowl and
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: this is I think this is the tough spot. You
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: still have to get to the dance. So it is
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: good that you're so strong in the regular season and
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: winning the AFC in theory kind of every year, and
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: getting to be one of the final four, final two
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: teams in the conference, and then it becomes that question
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: of okay, when is that not good enough anymore? And
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: when is it you have to get over the hump?
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: And I recognize that we want this team to get
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: over the hump, and every team wants to get over
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the hump. It's just a lot easier said than done. Again,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: the odds of your one team winning the Super Bowl
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: versus the field. The odds are always with the field.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: And you know you might be able to be like, yeah,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: but what about the Kansas City Chiefs who seemed to
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: go to the super Bowl every year. For me, it
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: would really have to take a large scale erosion of
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: this team. And also a lot of it for me
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: is personnel choices and arct types that they make, And
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know how much of that is McDermott influence
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: or Brandon bean influence, and I don't think anyone really
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: knows that, So it's hard to parse those two things.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: As I said in the intro of the show, and
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: as I've said throughout the off season, again, even though
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: you want to shout from the rooftops that I'm a
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: person apparently who will always defend McDermott no matter what,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I'm probably Brandon being at some point, which I don't
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: do blindly or as you know, kind of as a
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: cure all. I don't know. I have issues with some
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: of the schematic elements of this team and some of
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: the personnel roster building elements, and I don't know which
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: one of those is necessarily being versus McDermott. So I
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: don't know if fire McDermott cures or quells those. You
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: also could fire McDermott and get a much worse head coach.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: You could all of a sudden plummet and fall apart,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: or you could finally get over the mountaintop. I think
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: there's an equal chance of either happening, so I think
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: it's very much a risk reward. Colin says, we'll we
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: be doing fire. McDermott ornaments this Christmas, I think for
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: some those already are probably in circulation, and except since
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: r Jass, unfortunately, I feel like this team is fundamentally broken.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: I don't think they are talented enough or smart enough
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: to overcome the systemic issues they have. I will say this,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I think smart enough I think is somewhat subjective. I
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: think it's hard to kind of necessarily detail out or
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: dig out the players intelligence levels or processing levels, even
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: though you can see some things at times. I think
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: from a talent standpoint, I think what started to show,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: especially these past couple of weeks with the injuries, I
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: don't think this is an overly talented team. I don't
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: know if they really think it has been. In the
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: being a McDermott era, they've had strong players or good players,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: and they've had some All pros, But right now I
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: don't necessarily think this team is loaded with a bunch
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: of like a tier S tier type of players. They
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: very much are a team that everybody does their job,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: you know the quote unquote everybody does their one eleventh.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: But I think they're a team that is really built
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: with a lot of like B minus to B plus players,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: which can be fine, right, but if a couple of
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: those guys go down, now you have to rely more
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: on individuals. I don't think they necessarily have the individuals
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: that can consistently overcome the scheme that can consistently win
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: matchups that are you know, isol ball players where it's
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: just like clear it out, let him go to work,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: do their thing. I don't think they really have those
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: guys on this roster. And so when the depth starts
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: to get eaten away at and the responsibility and reliability
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: starts to get eaten away, you start to see those
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: questions about the talent start to come to the forefront.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Arthur says, who would have thought that bos would be
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: our healthiest defender through the first six games. I don't
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: even think you should rink that drinks that seasonsless. Question?
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: What do you think about moving Bernard to safety to
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: play next to Bishop? I got asked this question on
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Twitter earlier. For me, absolutely not. I don't think he
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: has the movement he's actual I'm gonna talk about him
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: in a bit this episode of his I don't know
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: what's going on with him in coverage this year, but
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: he's regressed. But even in this game, I don't know
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: if he's not healthy. And this was before he got
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: banged up and had to leave the game. His movement
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: is just not there. He looks like he's laboring a bit,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: like he's hampered a little bit. But even in general,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: I don't think he has the movement to play safety,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: let alone having to see the game from depth, from
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: that vantage point, from that responsibility assignment standpoint is a
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: completely different world. So I would not be a fan
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: of them. I understand it, kind of it with the
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: thought process behind it, but I can't get there at all.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Coming he're saying, it's weird when we win, our defense
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: is giving our offense no room for air, while our
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: losses have our defense start to lock them up and
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: our offense can't get it done. Yeah, it's kind of
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: the opposite of complimentary football, and it's super annoying. Pop says,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: a safety can be very athletic, but if he doesn't
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: know where to go and can't tackle, then what doesn't matter.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I feel like that's a cold Bishop reference. But we
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: will see josh or Jose, I should say, says opinions.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I'm making Joshua Palmer and Shakir wide receiver one and two.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Kean is just not looking good at all. I think.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: I think from a depth chart standpoint and from a
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: U standpoint, yeah, I get like Shakira is kind of
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the three, but I think Khalis Shakira is wide receiver
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: one on this team, and he's passed catching option two
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: behind Dalton Kincaid. The issue is the type of offense
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: that they've built schematically that won josh Allen a MVP
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: last year, put up a ton of record numbers last year.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Is built more for bigger, bodied wide receivers. It's built
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: more for condensed formations running the football, putting defenses into
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: run pass conflict. The more you eject Khalils Shakir into that,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: the more that goes away a little bit. I think
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Khalis Shakira is built more for a spread type of offense.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Even it can be a power spread type of deal,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: but you don't want him banging, you know, and inserting
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: on duo and having to crack on dudes a bunch.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: You want him working on the slot, you want to
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: get him in space. You want to get him the
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: ball on those you know, pass tags outside where they
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: have numbers advantage or an angles or space advantage, and
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Allen can spit the ball out to him and kind
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: of let him do work in space. I think what
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: it's more so frustrating is not necessarily that Palmer and
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Kean are wide receiver one and two. I think it's
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: more of the schematics of not being able to get
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Khalil Shakir consistently involved getting him into a rhythm and
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: taking advantage of his skill set. And to your point, yeah,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Palmer did look good yesterday before he went down. Really unfortunate.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: I just says, it's really it's really just said. This
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: team has consistently declined every year since twenty twenty one.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: I think that was our shot. I'm not sure if
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: we will get another one. Apparently, I'm in the depression phase.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: At twenty twenty one. Was the thirteen seconds here, right,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Everything kind of blurs into one another. I said it
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: when they lost the Kansas City I'm still staying it out.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they beat the Bengals. I know
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: they would have been home in the AFC Championship against
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: the Bengals. I don't know if they beat Cincinnati, but
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I understand your point. Oh another comment, what are your
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: thoughts on our routes for Kean or reusing him how
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: he was in college, or his route stats different more
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: slants for this man. I think it's just he. My
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: big thing with Keyon quin and then this might not
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: even directly answer your question.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: Here.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: My thing with key On Coleman is he was a
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: player that needed time on task. He was a raw player.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: And I've said this on the show, and everybody and
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: their mother knows this. At this point. He played basketball
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: in Michigan State. He was new to football. He's still
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: learning the game. YadA, YadA, all that stuff. Right. He's
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: a high ceiling player, lower floor YadA, YadA, all that
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: He needs time on task. He needs to work on
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: the finer points of his game. He needs to work
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: on his releases and his route stems, and his route
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: running and breaks and deception and pacing and all that stuff.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: And I think he has made improvements in the majority
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: of those areas this year. His game against New Orleans
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, he had several releases and
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: routes in that game that were really crisp, really deceptive.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: He had a nice rocker step on a deep out.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: He had a couple good releases where he shook clean
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: at the line and paired some technic county with the
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: size in the frame. The biggest thing with Keyon Coleman
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: is he's a guy who needed to develop and he
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: needed time on task to do so. And that's fine,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: but it's a little less fine when you need him
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: to be wide receiver one or wide receiver two on
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: a team that's trying to win the Super Bowl. That's
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: not ideal for a guy who needs to develop, and
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: for a guy who needs time on task. That's asking
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of a guy who needs refinement and who
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: needs coaching and who needs to develop. So I'm not
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: saying that's not possible, but I never thought year two
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Keon Coleman was going to be this stud. We're not
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: gonna know who Keyon Coleman is until probably year four
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: because of how much football he needs to play in
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: the learning that he needs to have, And so my
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: thoughts on our routes for him are. I feel like
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: they ask him what they think he's comfortable of run with,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: you know, or what they think he's best suited to run.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: He doesn't have the full route tree in his package yet.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: I don't think his stem work is necessarily there, so
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: they use him on more physical physical physical starting routes
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: or the routes that are more dependent on his physical
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: like back shoulder throws that allow him to kind of
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: play as a power forward, some quick slants of the
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: line where he can use his body to kind of
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: get his body in box dudes out. They're relying, they're
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: tapping in more to what his traits are at this stage,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: because I don't think he's necessarily there where they want him,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: where they would need him to be, or where fans
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: need him to be. And I don't necessarily think that's
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: all Keyon's fault because drafting him last year, he was
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: a project. So you're drafting a guy that was a project,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: but needing him to be an established person in year two.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I just it's not setting him up for failure. But
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's setting him up for success. Charles says,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: do we still have an outside wide receiver problem. Bills
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: ran mostly one wide receiver sets in the second half
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: to get back in the game, not even trying to
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: pretend to threaten the outside numbers. I do think they
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: have questions a wide receiver. I don't think defenses fear
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: passes outside the numbers or deep. I think the Bills
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: are gonna have to work to do that. The Bills
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: again this when you look at the wide receiver position.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: They're built for what this offense was last year and
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: going into this year, condensed formations, winning with alignment, winning
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: with winning with personnel, winning with formation. They're not built
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: to go eleven personnel or ten personnel and chuck it
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: thirty to forty times a game and sling it all
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: over the yard. They have to win with scheme and
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: structure and a variety of things. And then sometimes the
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: scheme is structure aren't where it needs to be. Sometimes
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: the player execution isn't there where it needs to be.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't I think they have an outside
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: wide receiver problem if they need to chuck it all
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: over the field, if it's just with who they are normally,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know what my camera's doing this to drive means,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: saying if they are who they are normally from a
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: schematics perspective last year and this year, no, I think
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: they're fine, but they are going to have to threaten outside.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: They are going to have to threaten deep. They are
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: going to need to back up defenses at some point,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: which is really encouraging. From the first offense to play
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: of the game against the Falcons with that play action
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: deep shot to Palmer and then he goes and then
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: things go back. Oh good comment from Pops. Two of
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Atlanta scoring drives only happened because the Bills penalties extended
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: the drives. Yeah. Pop's d NBA I think after the
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: game or today, saying that that first play of the
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: game with the fumble from Bijon and recover from the
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Bills was kind of like the game or a huge
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: moment and oo crazy crazy, crazy crazy crazy ah fair
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: comedy here from Johnny says I heard today sometimes the
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: devil you know is better than the devil you don't.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Heh y, that's another euphemism for coaching changes, and you
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: don't know. Things could go sideways, that Bills could fire McDermott,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: fire this staff and they could win a Super Bowl.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: They could fire McDermott, fire the staff, and they could
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: go five and twelve, Like there really is maybe not
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: five and twelve, but it really is kind of six
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: and one half a dozen of the other. Like there's
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: equal opportunity on both sides, and firing the staff isn't
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: a guarantee that it finally pushes this team over the hump.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: What what bum are.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Just as smart enough more so that they don't have
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: the coordinators to overcome the talent efficiency Andy Reid nor
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Sean McVay is walking through that door. I think those
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: guys are also kind of not unicorns, but those are
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: two of the best at their position, and it's you know,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: when you get one of those guys cool, but it's
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: tough to get one of those guys. What else william
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: says them my crazy for thinking the defense in the
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: second half was good and having some hope of the
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: defensive line. They blitzed more, they played more man coverage.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I do think they played better in the second half.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: I still don't think it was great, but obviously better.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: You know, they gave up what three points in the
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: second half. They're for giving up twenty one in the
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: first you know, we're gonna talk about it as we
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: go forward here, but they definitely played better in the
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: second half. They changed some things up. They attacked more,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: they tried to take away airspace and restrict it, which
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: is what they should have been doing more early on.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Penalty has definitely gotten their way, and also some of
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: the talent perspective pieces right, like Drake London sweet p
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: John Robinson a suite. It's unfortunate that they really just
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: let those two guys house them over and over again.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: But it's unfortunate, fortunate, unfortunate, unfortunate, Charles said. I expected
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: the defense would be a work in progress, especially with
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: all the injuries and suspensions. The offense came back returning
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: everyone and looks completely dysfunctional for long stretches. I think
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: that's fair. I think that's fair. Arthur says. I can
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: think of probably five to ten coaches I prefer to McDermott.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: The problem is that they already all have NFL jobs.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Who could we realistically hire? Sarkisian Kingsbury man. I think
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: that's a fair point too. You know, I don't think
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: mcdermot's the best coach in the league, and there are
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: coaches that I would take ahead of Sean McDermott. But
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: like you said, they all have jobs. Like I'm what
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: I would have liked to see. I would have liked
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: to see a different defensive coordinator or someone who has
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: a different philosophy to McDermott instead of being from the
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: McDermott tree, the McDermott mindset. I really wanted lou Rumo
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: to come in. I know he got jettison from Cincinnati
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: and how things ended up with Cincinnati there, but I
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: think a lot of that was more from the roster
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: and injuries than it was leu Ana Rumo. I wanted
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: someone like that. I think they need new blood on
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: the defensive side from a philosophy and an identity standpoint,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: and even from a roster building standpoint. But again, I
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: don't know how much of that is being going into
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: McDermott versus McDermott going into being or them kind of
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: feeding off of one another. I would like to see
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: a different I would like to see a different defensive
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: mind running the defense or injecting some more influence into
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: the defense, I should say. But to your point, yet,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: there there there are a good handful of coaches that
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: I would take over McDermott, but they all have jobs
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: already and they're not going anywhere. Joe, what's up, Joe?
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Joe Say's nothing wrong with a modest year for a
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: project receiver. But I feel like they still have him
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: boxed into an X role he shouldn't be, and that's fair,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: you know. I goes to the powerslock conversation. But then
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: what's tough with that is like you have Shakir who
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: lives in the slot, so then you have to get
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Coleman eating into some of Shakers reps. But then you're
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: also kind of eating into some of the formation and
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: alignment stuff you do. It's all just they needed an X,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: they needed a boundary guy. They needed a guy on
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: the outside, and they thought that guy was Coleman. I
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: think that's the same reason why they didn't draft LADB MacConkey.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: I think it's potentially the reason why they passed on
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: the Xavier Worthy. It's just you can do that, but
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: then you have to give that guy time to grow
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: and time to develop as an organization and as a
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: fan base. I think it's again they are lacking a
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: bit at wide receiver for most and so he needs
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: to contribute more than he would as a project wide receiver.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Maybe on other teams. Remy says, they need to stop
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: drafting projects and just find superstars. Absolutely, but I think
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: it's a lot easier set than done. I think you
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: can say that for every team in the league. Yeah, frustrating, frustrating, frustrating,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Oh cecil, this is a good just mentioned real quicker.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: He says, what was frustrating was all the fans Alkins
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: blitz his fifty six percent of the time, and yet
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: we threw very few running back screens. They are not
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: a good running back screen team. A lot of it
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: is Josh Allen. The It's two things. One, usually when
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: teams attack Allen, they still kind of sit back a
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: little bit as they come forward because they know that
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: he could maybe step through or run by them, and
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: so you're kind of coming up with urgency but also
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: playing with a little bit of control. Also, Allen is
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: just not a good running back screen thrower. I don't
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: know if it's the arm angles or the trajectory, or
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: the timing or the tempo of it. He's not good
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: at screens. He hasn't been since he was a rookie.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of the failures with running back
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: screens are due to Alan just not being good at those,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: And that might seem like a like a weird thing
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: to say he's just not good at them again, And
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: if I got to pick something for a dude not
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: gonna be good at I would probably pick with that.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: But year after year, different coordinators, different schemes, moments they
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: you know, the screen game doesn't go, and I think
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: a lot of it comes down to Allen just not
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: being good at them. Nick, What's up? Nick? Nick says
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Trey is getting the Dane Jackson tree major scapegoating and
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: going out with the fans, even though he played fine
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: and was a bright spot at times. I second this
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: to a degree. I don't think Trey has been I
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: don't think Tray has been good. I don't think Tray
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: has been as bad as a lot of people are
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: making it out to be. And I do think he's
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: getting blamed for things that aren't necessarily his fault, and
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: when he does make good plays, they're completely getting overlooked
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: and glossed over. I don't think he's been good. Put
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: it out there like, he hasn't been locked down, has
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: been he hasn't been a true CB two. I don't
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: think he's as bad as everybody's kind of making it
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: out to me. M Lauren says, whoa, whoa, whoa. I
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: know it's been a few weeks since I've been in here,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: but where are the bookshels Glad to see the tree
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: is still there though we moved, and so it just
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: happened this weekend. So I'm in the process of getting
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: everything back in order in the new place, and I
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: just haven't gotten there yet. Appreciate you noticing the attention
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: to detail. Yeah, made sure the tree was there, and
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: then added this little adorable cat and this Jack o'
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: landern kind of take away from things. Next week there
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: will be more things behind me, hopefully finished and furnished,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: and potentially a week after good.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: More going through seeing comments, comments, comments, comments comments.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Arthur says, many people you included me, spent the offseason
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: saying they wouldn't judge the defense till after Hoyt was ready.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: I'm curious what the defensive scheme looks like over the
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: next three four games. Excellent point, that is, despite my frustrations.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: I am in injuries too, and this is going to
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: be one of the main points I lead off with
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: in a bit after we finished getting through the chat
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: here to start, I am kind of playing Devil's advocate
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: and saying, like, Okay, let's see what they look like
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: when they're whole. Let's see what they look like with
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Ed Oliver Beck and Michael Hoyt and Larry Ogunjobi and
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: t J. Sanders and the whole cast of dudes up there, right,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Let's see what they look like when they don't have
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: to rely on depth guys or guys on the practice
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: squad like Jordan Phillips should not be playing in an
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: NFL game right now, that that should not happen, but
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: he had to play major snaps the past couple of weeks,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: and especially last night with Dayekwon Jones going down in
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: warm ups, So I am kind of keeping that in
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: the back of my mind. I would like to see
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: what they look like in their final form in theory,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: and I do think hoy opens up a lot of
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: schematics for them. I think what's more worrisome is Michael
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: hoy coming into the picture and Ed Oliver coming back
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: and ogun Jobey coming back, even though I think ogun
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Jobey's gonna have some issues defending the run and that's
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: not gonna help the interior. The guys returning up front
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: should help the front. It's not going to help them
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: with space and coverage, although maybe it dictates some of
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: the different coverages they play and allows them to kind
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: of marry things a little bit better. But their run defense,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: I think, is still going to be an issue the
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: way they're built from a roster perspective, and the spine
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: is still going to be an issue. They're mistackling is
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: still going to be an issue. The safety play is
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: still going to be an issue. So I am holding
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: out before giving final reservation or resolution. I don't know
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: where I was going for there until I give final
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: kind of thoughts there, But I am frustrated. I am frustrated.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Fair point from Swin who says letting opposing team score
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: twenty three and twenty four of the last two games,
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: I would have signed up for that. That's fair. Joey says,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: if you could make one move, what would you do?
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Oh like anything or does it have to be realistic?
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: If it's anything, I'm gonna keep it. I'm gonna keep
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: it in terms of anything, but also somewhat realistic. I'm
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: getting Jeffrey Simmons from the Titans. That's what I'm doing.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm doing. Thank you. Ben. Ben says, I
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: was reserving judgment. Thank you, thank you so much. I
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: was falling apart. It's falling apart. I was falling apart.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Um bum bum bum. Jason says, did you move because
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: of the motorcycle noise? Uh no, but that's funny. I
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: should I'm not even gonna say it and jinx it.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: But where we are now it is extremely peaceful and
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: extremely quiet. That is super fuddy well done. Well that Jason,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: did you That's really good. That's really good. Oh that's funny. Hmm.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Remy says it must be problem with the strength and
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: conditioning program. It isn't just recently, it's every year. What
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: we're made of glass, what can be done? You know
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: what's funny is they were one of the least injured
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: teams several years ago, and now the last couple it's
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: really kind of caught up to them a little bit.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: I think it's really just the type of injuries they get.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it's it's the dudes they get. Sometimes guys are
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: just prone to certain injuries. I don't necessarily think it's
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: something in the water. I think a lot of times
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: injuries are just kind of unfortunate, unless you're like a
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: team that plays on bad ur for bad field like
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: the Niners did for the past several years, and everybody
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: was getting hurt at the games that Levi or dudes
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: getting hurt at the met Life field or the Lions field.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Stuff like that. Nice Joe, I see your comment there
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: about the backgrounds. That's funny. Mm hmmmm. Is a good
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: for Bill too? A betch of the motorcycles? I like that.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: I like that. I like that. Oh, Kebby, do you
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: think the Bills make any moves for the deadline? If so,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: which one. I always just don't expect any moves at
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: the deadline now because I don't think the Bills don't
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: want to make moves. It's just hard to make trades
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: in the NFL because a lot of times it's player
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: for player and that's tough. Like you don't see a
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: lot of those deals. In general. I think it's tough
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: to make deadline deals in the NFL, especially with you
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: more wildcard spots and teams thinking that they're still in
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: the hunt and kind of tying into Joey's thing I
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: would love. I would love Jeffrey Simmons. I would love
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: a safety to replace Taylor Rapp. If Max Harriston is
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: done for the year, I'd love to get a corner two.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: But then you're you're probably looking for a corner too
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: that's on like a one year deal, because again, ideally
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: you want Max Harriston to start next year. So and
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: then also, is that corner going to be happy here,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: you know, if they're trying to prove themselves and get
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: a larger contract next year or an extended deal with
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: someone else. So I think corners a little murky for a deal.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: I'd love to get a safety. I would love to
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: get a defensive tackle. I'd love to get a wide receiver.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of in the boat, you know, from a
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: contract standpoint. You know, I'll take Rislave, I'll take Rahid
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Shahid from New Orleans. But I haven't really started diving
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: into guys that are available yet, just because it's just
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: hard to anticipate moves. They always come down to the
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: wire and not a lot of deals happen. So if
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: I had to bet, I don't think they'd make any
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: but I would like to see something at defensive tackle,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: corner a wide receiver, though I think corner is the
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: least likely. Cecil says, I am more worried about the
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: back seven than the d line. Walker is coming along. Yeah,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Dean Walker is coming along. I do think Dion Walker
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: is getting his play. I do think is the flashes
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: are glossing over a lot of the work in progress
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: that he's having. I think he's ahead of schedule for
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: what I thought. He surpassed my expectations for this year.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: But it's funny watching It's funny to put out clips
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: and watch him get blown up or just displaced and
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: no one comments on it. Like I'm putting it out
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: clips and showing like the Bills run defense just getting
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: gashed and he's getting blown off the ball and there's
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: no comment. And I do think a lot of his
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: struggles are being glossed over because of the flashes. His
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: flashes have been very good and are very encouraging. I
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: don't think he's this lockdown stud dude who's arrived. A
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: lot of the hyperbolic statements that are being made about him.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: But to your point, yes, I do think he is
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: coming along. I would love to see him in a
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: rotation with Ed and Dai Kwon and Sanders and Ogun
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Joby and kind of go from there. That would be nice.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: Heay Morris is Miles Scaret is in realistic? Oh? Because
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Claude said Simmons over Miles Garret. Yeah, there's no way
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: they're getting Miles Garrett. I would love that, though, bats
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: He says, not only tuned for motorcycle noises. I like that.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Andy said, would Xavier Woods from the Titans be a
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: fit for us? I have not watched any Titans tape
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: this year from the defensive side, so I cannot speak
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: to that, and I'm not going to speak off of
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: Jannia statements or off of others' work, so I don't know.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Comments on YEP linebacker safety safety Tristan says, do you
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: think Rahishi heat would open up the offense? I do.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: The only thing that would be tough is because he's
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: not going to be the top of the depth chart guy.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: He's going to be more like a wide receiver three,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: wide receiver four type. When you put him on the field,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: it might be a tendency giveaway. If you're putting him
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: on the field, it's probably because you want to send
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: him deep and then defenses are going to be like, okay,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: odds are he's probably going deep, and then they'll counteract
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: for that a little bit. That's why a couple of
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: weeks ago I mentioned you need speed, but more towards
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: the top of the depth chart, you need it and
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: built into your wide receiver one and wide receiver two,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: so that way, it's not necessarily a tendency giveaway. It's
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: they could be blocking, they could be running deep, they
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: could be running over, they could be running a variety
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: of routes instead of necessarily kind of it being a
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: schematic or a tendency giveaway. Tanked just aid whom amongst
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: the bills. D Line doesn't get blown off the ball
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: h Rousseau at Oliver, especially for being smaller. Daikwon Jones
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: doesn't get moved too much. I think a Jpanessa holds
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: his own, and I think Bosa holds his own. I'm
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: trying to make sure I don't miss anyone else. It's
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: really in the spine more than anything, and some dudes
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: at the second level as well, which is unfortunate. Dave
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: says at this point, just add talent and speed. I'm
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: open to most moves. I think that's fair. Jose Sis,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: do you think Palmer can consistently beat man coverage in
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: the event we don't trade for new wide receiver. Yes,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: I just think he can beat more man coverage, more
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: in the underneath in the intermediate, more so than as
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: a deep threat or as a burner. But yes, I
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: think he can separate against man and the underneath in
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: the intermediate. Swin says, I'm speculating, but Josh seems bored
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: of the offense and is itching for more big time throws.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: You know what's funny is I don't. It's hard to tell.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Again you even mentioned you're speculating. I feel like Josh
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: corrected himself so much to playing efficient and taking what
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: the defense gives him that he's almost kind of like
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: rewired his brain to not take the deep shots. And
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: I think that's part of kind of the whole big
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: time throw thing, are the deep shots of them. So
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: that's what you mean by big time throws. I think
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: it's a little bit of Allen really drilling down on
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: being efficient. I think a little bit of it is
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Brady's offense, and I think a little bit of it
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: is not necessarily having true deep threats or burners and
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: that to those type of guys. But yeah, I think
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: he made such a concerted effort to be more efficient
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: and take what the defense gave him and not go
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: for blood every single throw like he used to. I
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: think when you make that much of a concerted effort,
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: I think it changed the way he played a little
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: bit and one in an MVP lash. So kudos to
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: him and to the Bills offense. But I think he
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: does have to I think he has to force the
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: issue a little more. I think he has to be told, like, hey,
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: take the shot. Look for the shot, more so than Oh,
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: the shot might be there, that's cool. I'm just gonna
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: dump it down for six or seven yards on first down,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: which isn't terrible. But yeah, I think he's kind of
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: rewired his brain a little bit there. But that's a
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: fair Commentum this is it good for Braf who says
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: how many Panthers will be on the Bills playing back
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: to Buffalo after their next game? O oh, question here?
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Do we have a speedy wide receiver on the practice squad?
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Not that I would necessarily inject into the lineup regularly.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: And then penny for your thoughts that Sam Franklin is
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: a safety like him as a special teamer. I haven't
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: watched the safety tape. I would be more open to
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: Jordan Hancock getting an opportunity than Franklin at this point. Also,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: very very very small sample size, Jordan Poyer moved a
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: lot better last night than I thought he did all
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: of last year in Miami. That's also an option. I
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: don't love that option. I thought he was losing his
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: legs his last year in Buffalo, and then he looked
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: worse last year. But he looked better than I thought.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: From a movement standpoint and from a reading the game,
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: an understanding standpoint, he's the best guy they have back there.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Safety's really worrisome. We're going to get into it. We're
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: going to get into it. I'm worried. Bill says, what
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: would you think about a five wide spread, fully across
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: the field short yardage alignment where the defense can only
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: put six in the box. Josh could just pick a
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: spot like Tom Brady used to remarkably, well, you could
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: work that. I would also take some more design. Josh
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Allen runs off that get him in some QB, draw
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: some sneaks or not sneaks, but QB draws some QB power,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: some readoption stuff. I really think they got to start
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: to dip into the bag a little bit. Not necessarily
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: now because it's only going to be week eight when
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: they start playing again, but start to dip into that
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: come December in January. All right, really good thoughts from
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: the chat. As you have more things, keep putting it
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: up into the comments here. Oh, actually, there's something I
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: wanted to get to. Somebody asked me about the schedule
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: and who I realistically thought the over under? Ah, there
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: it is. If you look at the rest of our schedule,
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: what's you're over under four wins? You know what's funny
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: is I'm always terrible with what the schedule is, but
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: I always think this is fun I feel like people
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: in the chat like doing this too. Realistically, So you've
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: got Carolina. I hate doing this because I'm superstitious, but
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: you've got Carolina, Kansas City, Miami, Tampa, Houston, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: New England, Cleveland, Philly, New York. I'm not gonna say
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: these things out loud because I'm too superstitious. Realistically, I
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: think they should have another one, two, three, four, five, six,
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: I think they realistically, at a minimum, should have another
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: seven wins. I think you could make make the case
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: that they could get to NINEI ish or ten. I
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: think Kansas City is a toss up. I think Tampa
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: Bay is a toss up. I think they should beat Houston,
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: but that might be a little tougher than their record indicates.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: Come November. Pittsburgh they should beat, but it could be
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: Wonky and then Philly. I think it's a fair toss
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: up to superstitious to make any other comments about that,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: but I like that. Okay, Moist's deposits are giving it away. No,
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: well kinda yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Hold on, No,
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: I did not Nick says guy's aunt just said he
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: wants player starting a safety I did not say that.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: I said he looked better than I thought he would
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: last night against the Falcons. Also, I don't really love
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: any of their safety combinations. That's just kind of where
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: I'm at right now. Their angles from depth. It's I'm
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: frustrated with safety. I don't even really want to talk
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: about it. It's one of my points here tonight, but
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about it. I guess all right, let's start.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: So Bill's bye week, checklist, fixes and focus. The first
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: I did not say I want Jordan Poyer's safety. I
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: said he looked better than I thought, and I said
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: he's their best combination of guy who can move a
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: little bit and knows the defense and the system. But
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: fair all right, yeah I know, but people don't know.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: So people could join this show right now and see
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: your comment and be like oh, and says he's all
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: about like Jordan Poyer. Okay, this just jumping it out
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: of This is the new, This is the new, This
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: is the new. Motorcycle driving by. I like this a lot.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: I like this a lot. Oh, hold on, I'm gonna
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: start to go over things. Oh, Rebbie says, thank you
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: for answering our questions. Amazing, you're staying so calm. I'm
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: always super calm with this. Really it takes a lot.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: I also too, I'm obviously a Bills fan. I'm a
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: football fan more so than I'm a Bills fan, and
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: so I'm still able to appreciate things from a schematic perspective,
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: good or bad. And then also, honestly, a lot of
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: me died with thirteen seconds. I grew up through the
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: drought like a lot of us, and I thought it
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: would take a lot to kind of break me, and
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: not that it completely broke me thirteen seconds. Really, I
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: thought they had it. I thought that was like the
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: greatest game ever. I was all into it, and then
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: out of nowhere, the rug got pulled on under me,
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: and I didn't think like and I grew up having
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: the rug pulled out from under me, right, Like I
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: you know, the Music City Miracle and everything we know, right,
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: the Music City Miracle, that stupid game against the Steelers'
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: backups when like an unknown Willie Parker and then Tommy
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: Maddox beat the Bills in the last regular season game
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: at home where if the Bills would have won, they
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: would have gone to the playoffs. I wasn't really around
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: for wide, right, But I obviously I knew the four
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: straight Super Bowls all these things, so I didn't really
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: think it was possible for the rug to get pulled
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: out from under me because I just always expected that
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: to happen. Thirteen seconds kind of broke me. Yeah, as
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: like a so, I it's hard for me to get
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: like that emotionally invested ever again, because they have a
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: part of me died that day. Oh good, times, good times. Yeah, man,
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: it's tough and then especially too, like me being a
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: Red Sox fan, like growing up as a Red Sox
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: fan and a Bills fan. Oh man, it was brutal.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: And I've been lucky that the Red Sox have four
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: World Series in my lifetime. Anthony says, I still wake
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: up put the cold sweats thirteen seconds. Yeah, man, not great,
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: not great, not great, yeah the yeah, thirteen seconds. A
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: little part or a big part of me died that day.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: And I'm always so superstitious, Like you guys know that,
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: and girls know that, I'm very superstitious. I never and
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: I remember my wife saying like, oh my god, they're
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: gonna win. And I was like, you can't say that.
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: You never know what could happen. But I remember in
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: the back of my mind, I was like, yeah, they
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: probably got that squid this kick or kick it short,
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: let them bleed the clock. I know, Butcker has a
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: leg and Mahomes has an arm. But they should be good.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: They should be good here. I really I believed it,
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: and I never let myself believe like that. And yeah,
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: then they played seventy five yards deep and the Chiefs
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: moved the ball and moved like fifty yards and a
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: blink in the blink of an eye, and we lost them,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: and I cried and I died inside good times all
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: right by week checklists faces and focuses as we all
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: get said and go down a memory lane that we
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: don't want to go to. Oh, JJ says, I was
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: there since wide right, yeah, man, And I again for
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: a lot of us too, who have family members who
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: grew up and building like as Bills fans are in Buffalo,
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: Like I grew up around all the adults talking about
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl years, like guys who went to Vietnam
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: and war stories, and my uncles and aunts and grandparents
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: all talking about like, oh, I was there for so
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: and so, and all my family's from Buffalo. So I
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: got family talking about seeing Jack Emp and seeing the
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: AFL Bills, and then everybody talking about what they started
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: to see in the eighties and then the nineties Bills
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: and family had season tickets for forever, and yeah, it's
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: all builds and builds, and so you understand and the
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: pain that comes with being a Bills fan and comes
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: with being in the city. And I didn't think that
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: I could be broken in thirteen seconds oh, Bob says,
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: I lived through the O for seventies. Versus Miami, he says,
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: spare me, that's fair, man, that's rough. I just want one.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: Just give me one super Bowl. That's it. I don't
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: care if they don't need to be a dynasty. Just
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: give me one. I just want one. First piece I
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: want to talk about here where it comes with the
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: bye week, checklist, fixes and focus. I do want to
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: mention the cabin I mentioned it earlier. The injuries I
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: do think have played a big role in addition to
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: kind of the guys being suspended and being off this team,
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: and not just to kind of give them an out
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: or give them an excuse. But when you are a
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: team that isn't loaded with elite talent, I don't think
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: this is a bad team. Obviously they're not a bad team.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: They were multitude of people's Super Bowl picks. They have
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: great Super Bowl odds. They still do. I still think
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: they'll write the ship and largely be fine. But when
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: you're a team that doesn't necessarily have the talent advantage
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: week in and week out, and doesn't necessarily have stars
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: or studs at a multitude of spots or even premium positions.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: When you're a team that's built more on depth and
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: having good football players. If you have multiple good football
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: players out, everything starts to become more noticeable because you
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: don't have the top end talent that's able to mitigate
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: that loss and able to kind of, you know, pull
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: everybody up by their bootstraps a little bit and kind
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: of make things happen. So when you've got again all
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: the injuries and the suspension, so you've got Wayde out,
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: You've got Ogan Jobe out, You've got Daikwon Jones out,
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: You've got TJ. Sanders out, You've got Matt Malano out,
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: You've got Dalton Kinkaid out, You've got Josh Palmer out,
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: You've got you know, even Curtis Samuel, Like, you've got
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: all these guys who are out. I do think that
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: impacts that would impact the picture for anybody. When you
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: have a multitude of starters or top of the depth
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: chart players who are out, that's going to you know,
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: influence anybody. You know, Harston is a good one too,
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: then and Strong goes down. So your outside corner depth
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: is being tested in all these forms and fashion. So
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: I do think there are questions to be had when
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: it comes to what will this team look like if
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: they're in full form and in their final form. So
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: I will say, with everything, you know, kind of coming
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: out of the bye week, let's see what they look
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: like from with the suspension, guys coming back, maybe guys
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: coming back from injury, and kind of putting that into
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: perspective for everything here. Again, I'm not giving them a pass.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying, you know, everything is fine because your
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: guys were injury, but yeah, they injuries definitely play a
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: role here and it affects the sample size and the variables.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: The next piece I want to talk about the zone
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: coverage for this Bills team. The metrics don't really weigh
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: it out, which is understandable to a degree given you
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: know some of the teams they played in the success
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: that they've had. But when they go with zone coverage,
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: a lot of their zone coverage this year, and it
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: was evident early on in the Atlanta game, a lot
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: of it is just spot drop zone coverage. And when
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: I say spot drop zone coverage, what I mean there
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: is you're kind of like kind of like Madden coverages
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: where you're just okay, you're supposed to get to ten
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: or twelve yards. You know at this spot you turn around,
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: hitch up, or you know your eyes around the quarterback.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: You need to drop, get your spot, look at the quarterback.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: You see a lot of times where guys in this
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: defense are just essentially kind of covering grass. They need
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: more man coverage, as Lewis Riddick said ninety five times
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: last night on the broadcast naven through the loss, he
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: said it too, I would like to see more man coverage,
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: but they don't necessarily have the horses for that, considering
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: you know, Trey is going to struggle with certain matchups.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: Now that being said, I do think Trey held up
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: better last night than he got credit for. You know,
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: him against Kyle Pitts should have been an easy mismatch
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: for Pits every day, and Trey kind of held his
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: own a bit with Pitts. I thought it was a
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: really soft pass interference call they called on him. I
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: thought Pits made contact with him and they should just
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: let that rock, especially considering a j. Terrell. Then he
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: get called for something later similar against Kean Coleman. And
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: also I love Ajhrel. He's awesome, but I don't think
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: necessarily have the dudes to play man, but they need
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: to work in more man principles, and for me, that
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: means more match coverage, more rules based coverages. They just
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: cannot continue to play spot drop zone. They are getting
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: shredded and getting eaten alive with it, especially in the
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: second level. Tying into that, rel Bernhard has been rough
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: this year. He's getting blown up against the run, He's
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: getting put on his butt, he's not getting off blocks,
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: he's not beaten blocks. He's still shooting some gaps every
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: now and again, but not at the rate that he
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: normally does or we tend to see him do. I
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: wonder again, Well, now we know that he's hurt because
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: of him leaving the game last night, but just kind
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: of leading into every game this year just didn't look
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: like he was one hundred percent healthy. I don't know
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: if that's to blame for his movement and coverage, but
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: he just does not look good in space, doesn't really
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: look good in coverage. I know he had that great
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: interception against Miami, but he has not looked good kind
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: of dropping deeper into coverage, his depth has been questionable,
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: and also his awareness just seems off. There's a route
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: last night I was talking to Kendall Mursky about this
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: friend of the show Kendall Mursky where Drake London runs
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: an inbreaker and one of their receivers runs vertical and
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: I forget what the coverage is, but Bernard it's play action.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: Bernard comes up onto the play action that he turns
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: around and he sees the number one receiver going vertical,
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: so he's gone, and then he looks at Drake London
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: and then he turns completely around, looks back at Penix,
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: gives us back to London, loses fight to London, and
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: Penix just fires it in there. For me, I want
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: to see him locate London and attached to him, match him,
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: get on him, especially in that instance where there's no
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: other eligibles to that side. There's no one underneath. Even
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: from a spot drop standpoint, you should be just getting
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: to London. You don't have any threats underneath. You don't
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: have any threat behind you. The other receiver, the number one,
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: because he came in London, came inside and became the two.
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: The other receiver's gone. He took the top off and
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: Bishop and Benford both took him. So you don't have
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: anything else, just just pick up London and for some
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: reason he turns around, lets him get by. It's a
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: huge completion. He did that a couple times last night.
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: And then in his movement he looks stiff. Ah, he
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: doesn't look very fluid. He looks again hampered or injured
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: or stiff or I don't know if he put on
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: more weight and that's why he's not moving good. But
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: he's just struggling. And I think his play is pretty
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: reflective and a bit of a microcosm of the Bills
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: and zone coverage this year, where it's just guys are
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: open in the seams, guys are open in the flats,
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: guys are open in the hook curls. I also think
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: their safeties, their safeties just get crazy amount of depth.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: Like usually you know in certain coverages you want to
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: get to like eighteen to twenty yards. They're starting at
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: eighteen to twenty yards, so there's just space and they're
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: not like creeping up or playing top down. They're staying
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: at that and getting back even a couple more steps
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: because they're so concerned about getting beat over the top.
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: So there's this space between the second and third level,
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: which means the second level defenders have to get all
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: this depth if you're running Cover three or if you're
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: running Cover two, those second level defenders have to get
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: all this depth to make sure they stop those inbreakers
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: from getting in behind them, and then that opens up
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: potential checkdowns underneath, which is why you can check down
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: the ball and get like nine yards against the Bills defense,
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: or if the Bills have to honor that a little
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: bit more, you can hit these chunk plays and inbreakers
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: behind them in the intermediate. It's just really frustrating watching
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: them play spot drop zone. They're spacing is not great.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: Guys are open between the second and third levels and
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: in holes at the second level. I also think tying
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: into that is safety play, which I'm going to talk about,
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: you know, in the next segment here. Actually I might
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: as well to talk about it now. The safety play
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: just rap has really regressed. I mentioned it. Let me
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: look him up now, so I know all the jokes
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: jokes jokes about Taylor Rapp and you know, friendly fire
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: and all that and hahaha. Last year he was legitimately
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: good coming from depth and making tackles. He you know,
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: there's a good example the snow game against the Niners.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: McCaffrey breaks one, Rap comes up, sticks him, drops him
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: at about like twelve or thirteen yards. If he doesn't
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: make that tackle, it's a house call, it's a touchdown.
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: Rap did that a lot last year. For as much
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: maligned as he is in coverage, for as much maligned
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: as he is with the friendly fire stuff, he's been
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: a sound tackler and a sure tackler, especially coming from depth.
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: Not the case this year. Last year he had a
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: three point six mistackle rate, the year before that four
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: point seven. All the years before that in LA six
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: point three, six point six, eight point seven, five point eight.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: So his worst year with mistackles was twenty twenty from
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: a percentage standpoint, where he had an eight point seven
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: sent mistackle rate, the most mistackles he's ever had in
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: a season, or twenty twenty two and twenty nineteen, where
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: he had six. This year, he already has eight miss
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: tackles and his mistackle rate is twenty five percent. That
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: is terrible and it's a huge regression for him. He
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: does not have coverage chops. From an athleticism standpoint, he
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: sees the game well. I think he can read it
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: a bit. I don't like some of the I think
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: some of the errors in decision making and coverage him
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: and Bishop are both making. So I think it's more
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: of what they're being coached to than necessarily with them.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: But he has really regressed as a tackler in a
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: multitude of forms, and I think some of it is
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: stemming from the lack of athleticism and the lack of
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: foot speed for him. The margin for error for him
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: is so small with his angles to the ball because
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: he doesn't have the best foot speed, because he doesn't
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: have the most athleticism, so his angles and his timing
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: aren't on point. He's getting beat. There were some times
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: where he you know, even last night, he has a
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: run where they run outside zone to Bjeon Robinson if
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: you're going to the offenses left and Rap is going
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: with him, and he tries to chase it down from
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: the right and Bijeon breaks through the line and Rap
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: gets him. But the speed will and also with this
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: Bjeon's and Unicorn and he's amazing, but wrap the angle
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: that he gets Bijon on. He's chasing Bijon from behind.
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: What's Bijon going this way? Rap going this way? And
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: he's just more on Bijeon's backside than he is into
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: his hip and into his front to try and cut
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: him off, and he doesn't have that margin for air.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: His angles have to be perfect because if they're not,
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: he's in a bad way. And this is you know,
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: this is a fair uh comment here that the Algaier
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: touchdown was really bad, horrible angle by wrap the finish
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: look bad. I don't think the angle is necessarily terrible.
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: He's a single high safety. So what you want to
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: do when you're coming up to play the run, you
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: essentially want to kind of like follow a banana path,
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: you know, technically, because you're a post player first and
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: foremost you're protecting the middle of the field. When you rerun,
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: you want to come forward and then kind of banana out.
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: So his initial angle wasn't terrible. But the problem is
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: Bijeon started to pick it or algae or picked up
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: so much speed. Once Rap comes forward, he doesn't have
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: that ability, like if he's trying to cut off somebody here,
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: he has to be line it and take that right angle.
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: He doesn't have the speed to come here and then
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: go this way and make up for it. So he
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: got a little too far upfield and was done their angles.
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: Him and Bishop. I mean, Bishop has just come up flying,
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: trying to make a play and kind of loses track
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: of himself at times. But yeah, he and Rap have
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: just been It's been a frustrating duo to watch. I
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: talked about it all throughout the off season. I could
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: make a whole episode on this. I talked about it
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: so much at length throughout the off season. I just
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: don't think they compliment each other well, and I don't
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: think either of them are what the Bills need from
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: a coverage standpoint deep, and I think that's part of
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: the reason why both of them are playing so far back,
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: why the spacing is so intense on the back end.
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: It's it's a pairing that I don't think as an
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: answer because I don't think Poyer and Bishop compliment each
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: other necessarily better. I don't think Rap and Poyer necessarily
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: compliment each other better. I think in theory, Hancock and
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: Bishop compliment each other better, or Hancock and Rap compliment
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: each other better. But I don't think Hancock is ready
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: from a mental standpoint and from a processing standpoint to
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: start yet. But man safety is ugly and my biggest
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: one this is this is more of a focus than
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: a fix. I don't think you can fix the safety
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: room aside from trading for someone else and bringing someone in.
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know how to fix the safety room. They're
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: at a spot where, unfortunately, they kind of have to
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: dance with who brought them, and Rap and Bishop are
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: the ones who brought them, and that's what they're looking
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: at at the safety spot right now, and it's concerning
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: a lot of my This is a frustrating one for
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: me because a lot of the concerns that I mentioned
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: throughout the off season have come to fruition with this
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: safety grouping. You're seeing the vulnerabilities and coverage with this pairing.
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: And the one saving grace that I had was, Okay,
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: raps athleticism and range isn't there, but he's such a
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: sound tackler coming from depth and now he's not given
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: that Again, twenty five percent mistackle rate is crazy. It
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: would be the worst of his career by over one
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: hundred percent, by over one hundred percent increase, which is crazy.
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: And yeah, it's just really poor for a guy who's
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: calling card was not range and was not coverage to
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: not have range and not have coverage, and now also
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: struggle coming from depth and making tackles in general, what
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: do you do? What do you do? I like this
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: from Lauren. Lauren says, I know you're saying spot drop coverage,
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: but we need that coverage. DMX saying about Oh, you're
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: thinking rough rider aths, stop drop, shut him down, open
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: up shop. Oh no, that's a rough rider's rule. I
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: want to go back to this, coming from earlier, I
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: made note of it clauseys, and I would think, because
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: you are a scheme guy, the Bills would drive you crazy.
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: For example, their lack of disguising, running percentage while under center,
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: throwing out a shotgun. Oh. Especially defensively, the Bills run
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: a style of defense that I do not personally gravitate towards.
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: Their philosophy and identity and roster building is not what
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: I gravitate towards in terms of philosophy or identity or
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: roster building. It's not what I would do if I
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: was building a team. It's not the type of defense
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: that I enjoy or would like to employ or deploy.
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: I should say, but it works for them, or on
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: the whole, it has. But that's also part of my
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: frustration come playoff time, because the areas that I don't
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: like in their defense are often the areas that get
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: put under the microscope come playoff time or against better
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: teams from a roster standpoint or a roster building standpoint,
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: or an archetype standpoint or a schematic standpoint. So that's
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: defensively and then offensively, the running percentage while under center
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: are throwing out a shotgun. I know those are predictable,
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: but I also think you can set the baseline with
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: that and then use that against defenses. So then you
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: get into a game and it's like, oh, hey, you
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: know they're running what seventy percent of the time when
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: under center, and that's the game where you run it
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: only forty percent on the center of that game, and
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: you incorporate more play action passing or start to work
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: in some true under centered dropback stuff, which I don't
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: think they're going to do because not a lot of
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: teams do that. But yeah, I think you can use
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: that tendency against defenses and kind of make them, you know,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: the whole. I think I said this last week, the
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: whole like you know, we know what you know, and
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: we know that you know what we know that, you know.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: And so it's that chess match of are they really
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: going to throw it? Are they really going to run
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: it out of here? Are they actually adhering to their tendency,
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: or are they trying to flip it on its head?
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: But overall, the defensive schematics bother me more than anything.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: It's the no, I shouldn't say. The schematics, well, yeah,
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: some of it, But the philosophies and the philosophy, identity
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: and archetypes they subscribe to defensively for years frustrate me.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: I am not a fan of those. But yeah, now,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's any one true, true, tried and
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: true identity, philosophy, scheme structure way to build a roster.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: It all comes down to personal preference. But you know, hey,
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: you never know. I mentioned the safeties. Safety is really frustrating.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: The safeties are really frustrating. Coach Chapman, What up? Coach
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: coach says, please play handcock. I can't. I mean, I
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: don't think he's ready from a processing standpoint, from an
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: angle standpoint, from where he's seeing the game standpoint. But
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: I mean it's hard to the biggest deterrent for me
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: wanting to say, like, all Hancock should play is what
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: kind of floor is he offering? But you could make
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: the case that the floor that the safeties are offering
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: right now isn't really that great. So why not throw
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: Hancock in there and get him some time on task
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: and see what you can do with the athleticism and
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: the juice that he brings. I just think there's no
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: good answer. You could play handcock, there's still worries and
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: questions there. You could play rap, there's worries and questions.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: You could play Bishop, there's worries and questions. You could
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: play Poyer. It's frustrating. I put out a tweet earlier
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: today like I feel like the Bills had such good
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: safety play for so long that had angered the football gods,
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: and now they are where they are because of that.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: It's just it's frustrating to see where the safety group
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: has gone. But teach there own. We'll see what happens
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: the next piece. So we talked a little bit, a
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: lot of moments of the defense. I want to mention
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: a quick one on where is it? I have to
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: find it? Yeah, there it is. So the how did
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: I officially title this year? No, that's not why I
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: want to get this on my way from my notes,
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: I have like ninety screens open. That's my fault the
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: running backs in the passing game. This is a potential fix,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: but also a focus. I think how the Bills use
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: their running backs has been found out a little bit
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: by defense. Is this ties into a larger thing. I
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: think with Joe Brady where the Bills offense is getting
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: into their tendency a bit too much, getting into a
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: little bit of too much predictability from a formation alignment
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: and concept standpoint. But when targeting running backs. I wanted
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: to play this out there. We've talked about it since Joe
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: Brady took over. If this goes back to his days
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: at LSU, this goes to his time with the Panthers.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: He's very adept at using his running backs in the
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: past game, getting them in space, getting them advantageous matchups,
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: getting them clean you know, like looks on mesh rail
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: things like that. Right, He's been very good at that
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: since the beginning, not so much this year. So the
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills when targeting running backs this year twenty twenty
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: five versus last year twenty twenty four. In twenty twenty four,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: they led the league in EPA per target when targeting
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: their running backs at positive zero point six to zero,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: first in the league. That's tremendous. Having a plus zero
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: point six EPA per target is amazing. And they were
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: also third in success rate when targeting running backs at
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: fifty six point one, so very good at targeting their
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: running backs. Last year. It makes sense, right getting ball
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: James Cook, ball to Ty Johnson, ball to Ray Davis.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: Sometimes instructure, sometimes structure. This year, their EPA per target
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: two running backs negative zero point two to three, which
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: is twenty six in the league. So they went from
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: plus zero point six last year to negative zero point
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: two to three, and they went from first last year
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: to twenty sixth right now, their success rate again fifty
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: six point one last year third in the league. This
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: year it's twenty eight percent, which is thirty first in
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: the league. A big piece that I've noticed this year
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: when it comes to getting the running backs involved in
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: the past pass game. I mentioned a minute earlier, Bills
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: run mesh a bunch under Joe Brady, and they love
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: to run mesh rail. Sorry as I keep putting my
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: hand here to adjust the camera, but I don't know
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: why he keeps going in and out of focus is
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: driving me absolutely insane. I think it's because I'm moving
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: too much here. Mesh rail, if you don't know what
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: it is, Essentially, you're getting essentially over the middle of
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: the field. You will get two Kay Morris says ya,
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: we aren't last positivity. You'll get that underneath drag route,
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: that underneath shallow, you'll get one above it, kind of
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: trying to create that rub and that frick between two
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: defenders of its man coverage. So you'll get those overs,
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: those drags across the middle and then usually get an
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: over the ball route from somebody else. What the Bills
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: love to do is they'll take the running back with
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: that and they'll send him on that wheel out of
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: the backfield or that rail route right out of the backfield,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: and that running back he's the first read. He is
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: the number one in the progression. The Bills go to
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: that a lot. They've hit Cook on it, They've hit
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: Johnson on it, they hit ray Davis on it. Sometimes
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: they'll get coverage bus Sometimes defenses will go too far
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: over the top trying to get through the garbage of
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: the traffic to get to it, and Alan will spit
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: it out right away and it's an easy six or
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: seven yards or play to the running back. But this year,
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: defenses are all over that they are covering that rail
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: route from the running back. Alan is not able to
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: hit it. Alan is not able to get to it.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: And that was a significant part of what they did
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: last year with getting the ball to the running backs.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: You're just not seeing that same availability with the running
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: backs on meshrail this year, and by extension, that's impacting
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: their and the running back targets and the running back
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: attempts in the air and all that kind of stuff.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: But overall, I think you need to get the running
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: backs more involved in the past game, especially James Cook,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: especially when you are struggling with health at the outside
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: spots with wide receiver or Dalton Kincate is down like
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: last night, should have been an opportunity. Okay, let's get
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: our running backs involved in the past game as much
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: as we can. But it was just like, no, we're
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: just gonna run messrail and it's not available and it's
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: not there. I am worried a bit about that. I
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: think it ties into more of the past game being
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: found out a little bit. The run game being found
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: out a little bit. I don't think I am sorry,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: this is driving me absolutely insane. I don't think that
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: I am some amazing ball knower or football person. But
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: when I'm able to watch a Bills game and I
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: can see a formation or a down in distancer situation,
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, here comes this run up, here
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: comes this past concept, I would bet NFL defenses are
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: able to do that, and probably way better than I am,
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: and probably even more than I am. So I'm a
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: little worried that the offense is getting found out a
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: little bit. And yeah, last night, I see the common
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: here from Josh says they also need to use James
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: Cook the way the Falcons use Bijon. Bijeon is more
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: of a unicorn than Cook. But Cook can definitely do
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: more in the pass game than he's getting the opportunity
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: to do, which is a little frustrating. And yeah, especially
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: in a game like last night, where Palmer goes down,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: Kincaid's already down, You're struggling these areas. The Falcons are
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: just teeing off with the Blitz. It would be nice
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: to kind of, you know, let's move James Cook around
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: a little bit let's get James Cook involved as a
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: pass catcher instead of you know, the Falcons kind of blitzing,
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: dictating the match up there, dictating protection. You're not really
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: forcing them out of it or making them kind of
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: account for anything. A little frustrated, a little frustrating, a
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: little frustrated. I'll make it very much, Autumn. I appreciate you. Yeah,
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: maybe I made sure to get the tree in there.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: Which driving me nuts now is that the camera has
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: gone out of focus. It's driving me absolutely insane. I
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: don't know why it's going out of focus. I don't
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: know what it's focusing on instead of it's driving me
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: absolutely insane. I almost can't focus. I want to like
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: shut down the stream right now because I'm absolutely frustrated
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: with it. Yeah, but I think the past game has
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: gotten found out a little bit and the offense is
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: getting found out a little bit as well. That ties
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: into a little bit for the defense as well. I
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: think there is some predictability for the Bills defense with
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: their coverages, with the type of fronts that they use.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: You know, Atlanta did a lot of what Miami does,
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: where hey, we're just gonna send a bunch of different motions,
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: move the second level, attack the weak side, attack the
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: b gap bubble, have numbers advantage or have a hat
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: on a hat know that the Bills aren't gonna win
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: battles up front and win one on one and just attack.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: I think there are some issues with being predictable and
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: being found out a little bit on both sides the ball.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: When it comes to Nick says, the camera got paid
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: up by the motorcyclist. Stats. But there we go. Why
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: did I guess I just need to sit up, okay,
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna try and not move it all. Because
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: I finally came back into focus. I feel so much better.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: That's very funny, Nick, I like you with that. The
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: camera got paid off by the motorcyclist. Yeah, the predictability
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: a little bit of the Oh Sesus says, maybe the
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: lights on the tree. No, because I think the tree
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: is at the same depth and I normally keep it
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: at previously. But I don't think it's the lights. I
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: think it's me. Maybe not. I can just make sure
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: I sit still. Yeah, I think there's a little bit of,
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: you know, both sides of the ball getting found out
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: a little bit. And again, it's early, it's week six.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: We'll see what they do coming out of the by
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: This is the time, of course, correct, this is the
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: time to kind of adjust a little bit. But you
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: also don't want to put your entire self out on
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: display before you get to the playoffs and potentially need those,
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: you know, things that you kept in the bag a
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: little bit then. So we'll see, But I do think
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: there are some issues with the offense being found out
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: a little bit. Dave it says the tree is coming
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: from depth and missing a tackle on the camera. Well done,
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: A plus A plus David, Wow, the chat is on
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: fire tonight. I'm enjoying this. Bob says, it's the look
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: at the eyes. They are pretty creepy. I think that
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: cat's adorable with this little witch hat is pumpkin, but yeah,
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: the eyes are a little scary. That's fair. I think
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: they've got to change some things up on both sides
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: of the ball from a predictability standpoint and an identity standpoint.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: Just again, it doesn't have to be a full scale overhaul.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: They're not redesigning the wheel. But you need some tweaks.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: You need something to kind of throw a wrench into.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: Oh they're in this. Here comes this Oh, they're in this.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: It's either going to be A or B. We can
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: attack both or you know, it's gonna be seventy percent
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: of A. Let's play for A and Chinda is getting
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: into that mold. It is a bit frustrating to watch.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: And well, I think health is going to play a
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: big one for both of these sides of the ball,
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: you know, starting on the offensive side, getting healthier at
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: the pass catching options. I'm interested to see what that
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: does for this offense as a whole. They really leaned
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: on James Cook early, kind of haven't the past several weeks.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: That also, I wonder if that's why are they not
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: trying to get him involved in the past too much,
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: because they've been running him a lot and they want
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: to keep fresh or they want to keep him healthy.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: But you know, if you do want to win games still,
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: and so in case of emergency, break glass and release
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: James Cook as a pass catcher a little bit if possible.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: I'm interested to see how those things kind of coalesce
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: into one going forward. And then on the defensive side, Yeah,
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: does Hoyt how much does Hoyt change things? I don't
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: think they're gonna become a completely different defense with Michael
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: Hoyt back, But can they use him like the Rams
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: that do we get him in that type of spinning roll.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: Do we get him in that cheetah package that we
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: got with the Rams where you're running these overload fronts
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: and it's just all pass rushers and headhunters that are
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: on the field on third down. Now, in order to
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: get to those situations, you got to win against the
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: run on first and second down, which is also a problem.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna mention that briefly now because I don't think
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: it's something that can can be fixed. The Bills are
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: gonna keep getting gashed, and they're gonna keep getting blown
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: off the ball on the interior. They are just not
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: built to defend the run on the inside. They are
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: built to stop the run with game script for their
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: opponents away from the run and or gapping out and
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: using bodies. They're having issues defending the run from two
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: high structures. They are having issues with gap integrity between
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: the second level and the first level. Up front, they
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: are having issues with guys getting off blocks. They're just
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: not built to stop the run like that. They're gonna
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: have to win with run blitzz numbers and game script.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: That's gonna be messy, and it comes with its own
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: set of risk and reward, a little live by the sword,
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: die by the sword type of deal. But that's that's
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: the bed they made. They got to line it. But
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping that they can get to some more known
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: passing down and distance in situations you can, you can
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: unleash Michael Hoyt and some new schematics. Potentially Ogan job
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: we should help with the pass rush. I think he's
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: not gonna help too much from a run defense standpoint.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: He's gonna get blown off the ball. And then we'll
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: see what happens at linebacker, how Hurd is Bernard, does
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: Mlano come back? Dorian is still getting lost in time.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: Shaq Thompson has been largely their best linebacker all year,
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: which is awesome for him, but also you know, and
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: a feather in his cap, but also probably not what
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: you want to hear or see if you're the Bills
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: or a Bills fan. But yeah, that run defense, I
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: think is going to continue to be a struggle, is
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: going to continue to be worrisome. I think it's going
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: to be something that we continue to talk about all year,
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: just like it was last year and even the year before.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: But I think a lot of the turnovers and the
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: game script glossed over the fact that the Bills struggled
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: against a run last year, and it kind of really
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: wasn't paid attention to too much. Another piece I wanted
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: to bring up here, something to focus on somebody who
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: who has this question. Ah, there is question this has
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: our offensive line taking a step back this year, and
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: I wanted to bring that up because I tweeted this
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: out earlier in twenty twenty four. So last year, regular
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: season and playoffs, Josh Allen was sacked nineteen times and
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: he had a pressure to sack rate of nine percent.
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: This year, through six games, he's already been sacked twelve
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: times and he has a pressure to sack rate of
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: sixteen point four percent, which would be the third highest
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: rate of his career and the highest since twenty nineteen,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: which was his second year in the league. Bills are
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: struggling a little bit in pass pro. Allen is not
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: making the mutant plays back there where he's stiff arman
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: dudes and shaking guys and you know, avoiding pressures being
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: turned into sacks. He's also holding the ball a little
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: bit longer because guys aren't necessarily getting open the pressures
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: turning into sacks and blitzes being able to get to
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: the Bills is a little worrisome. I don't think Allen
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: is diagnosing things to a high standard pre snap or
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: post snap. I think athleticism and juice is giving the
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: Bills offensive line problems up front. And I think the
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: lack of having true and declarative separators on wide receivers
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: at wide receiver, I should say that's also kind of
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: adding into things too. So the offense has struggled a
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: bit these past several weeks, and you know, so you're
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: seeing Alan get pressured, You're seeing pressures turn into sacks.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: They're seeing him half the hole onto the ball. Some
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: of that's the offensive line, some of that is Josh Allen.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: Some of that is the weapons, which again makes this
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: more of a focus than it is a fix. I
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: don't think this is a thing where it's like all
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: they have to do is this one thing and everything's fine.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: I don't think the old line is taking a step back,
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: but I do think there the old line play is
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: one of several factors that's leading to Alan getting pressured
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: more and Alan getting sacked more, which again is something
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: we really haven't seen the past couple of years. The
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: offensive line was so much better two years ago. They
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: switched it up last year with a new combination and
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: they didn't miss a beat and actually probably improved. And
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: this year we're seeing some struggles. We saw the Saints
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: get after Alan, we saw the Pats get after Alan,
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: we saw the Falcons get after Alan, but just more
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: with bodies and scheme, you know, also too, like them
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: not being able to count for kay Nellis is that
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: off ball dude, and everything that was going from there,
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: Like it was just that's a little worrisome. I mentioned
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: last week when in the episode of kind of like
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: sorting out the real problems versus the fake ones, you know,
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: noting that it was something to watch with how the
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: Patriots front gave the Bills offensive line problems the game
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: against the Falcons a little worrisome still, I you know,
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: especially when you get into the predictability realm where you
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: can't just people move, you can't just run the ball.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: That's been the Bill's easy button. Let's just get some push,
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: let's run the ball, will be good to go. Done
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: and dusted right. If you can't run the ball, then
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: it becomes tight. Then you get into these third and lungs.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: You have the defenses with the ability to game up
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: their pass protection, just like the Ravens did to them
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: last year in the regular season, just like the Texans
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: did to them in the regular season last year. And
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: then you pair that with guys not being able to
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: create separation, not being able to win outside, alan not
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: having time to get too longer developing routes. It's kind
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: of this, you know, you know, perpetual, perpetual cycle of
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: black and that's concerning. I don't know if they necessarily
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: can fix it. I don't you know. They'd have to
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: add a weapon at wide receiver. They'd have to start
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: to build more of a threat outside from their wide
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: receivers and deep kind of push defenses off a little bit,
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: change how defenses attack them. Allen's gonna have to show
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: that he can beat the blitz when it comes. The
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: offense is gonna have the offensive lines have to show
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: they can give him time. Yeah, they're kind of getting
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: into some worrisome trends these past couple of weeks, but
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: they have done that in this parts of the season.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: The past couple of years, they've always found a way
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: to pull themselves out, so we will see when it
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: comes to that. Going through some comments here, any other questions, thoughts, commons,
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: concerns from you folks. If anybody's wondering I got through
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: the Bills defensive tape today, I'll be posting more stuff
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: on socials tomorrow and that and giving some overall final thoughts.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: I have to get through the offense later tonight and tomorrow.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: Film will be happening tomorrow breaking down that. So got
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: a lot more to get through. Still, the game being
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: on a Monday and the show being on a Tuesday
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: is always frustrating, But shout out to the billster getting
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: primetime games. Swin says, our teams blitzing more because they
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: don't think our receivers can get open. I think that's
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: one aspect of it. I think teams blitzing and teams,
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: you know, playing more man or just single high. I
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: think a lot of it comes down to you're trying
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: to attack the run right, So sometimes pass blitzes are
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: really run blitzes. But if you pass the ball when
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: someone brings a run blitz, it's just charted as a
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: pass on a blitz. But I think teams are attacking
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: the Bills run game with coverage, structure and blitzes, and
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: I think they're able to do so. One well, I
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: shouldn't say able to do so, but they're doing that
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: because all good the Bills run game is and it's
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: a top priority to stop it. But also going a
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: little hand in hand with that is that I don't
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: think they fear the Bills pass catchers on the outside
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: or deep. I don't think they're in a spot where
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: it's like, oh, we got to watch out for this dude,
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: we got to throw a double over there. We're not
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: comfortable playing this dude one on one or you know,
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: in single on an island out there. I think it's
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: so I think it's a little bit of that. I
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: think it's more tied to their identity and their run game.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: But I do think it is tied to that a
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: little bit as well. So that's a fair question, a
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: fair point. But Bill's eighty three says trade for a lobbe.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: I would absolutely love a trade for a labbe. It's tough.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: It's tough. It's tough. It's tough. Ceasol says, and you
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: can bet the Panthers and Chiefs are studying these last
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: two games, so more blitzes are coming, especially with Spags
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: good times. Coach chatmans Is, I feel like it's more
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: of scheme issues. I don't see the easy button passes
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: that were there last year. Brady is getting predictable and
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: he's not leaning into cook. I think it's a very
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: fair point. It's something I mentioned during the Miami game
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: that the more that they're the Bills are unable to
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: push the ball downfield or win outside, the more that
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: they're relying on just underneath or the low intermediate in
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: the past or running the football, defenses are going to
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: keep creeping up. Defenses are going to keep restrict in space,
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: and they're going to make life tough for this offense,
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: and every everything will get further and further condensed and
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: further and further, you know, tighter for this offense and
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: a bit more sluggish. And a lot of those easy
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: button passes last year were from a numbers perspective. It
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: was underneath. It was a quick like, okay, numbers are
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: in the box to stop the run. Cool, we got
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: a pass tag attached to it. Let me spit it
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: out to Shakir because we got three verse two outside,
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: or we got three verse two and we have angles
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: in space, let's take advantage with that, or defense drop deep.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: You know they're really trying to sell out to put
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: a cap on things, so let me just check it
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: down for an easy six or seven yards. Now there's
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: less of that because guys are creeping up. There's more guys,
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: and when you're looking on the broadcast, there's more guys
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: in that horizontal frame because they're not scared to get
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: beat outside. They're not scared of geting beat over the top.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: They're playing the run, and they're playing with numbers, and
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: they're playing with confidence, not getting feared or not getting
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: fearful of what the Bills could do on the outside
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: or with that pass game. So a couple passes here
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: or there are a couple of shots could change things
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: a little bit, but we'll see. I like the follow
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: up for coach Japan who says it's a little similar
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: to pre Cooper Bills last year. Cooper was more of
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: a threat than a weapon, and this follow common two here.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: This says that single high was happening right before we
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: traded for Cooper. Absolutely it's so it's gonna happen in
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: general because the Bills can run the ball so well,
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: So if you're in single high, you have an extra
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: body in and around the box and the line of
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: scrimmage that helps, you know, have numbers against the run.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: But in conjunction with that, when you're playing single high,
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: if it's man obviously your corners outside are in one
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: on one. But even if it's cover three, so again
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: single high just zone, your corners are still essentially on
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: an eland outside. And if you're not fearful of the
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: wide receivers out there, or if the Bills aren't throwing
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: it out there and working outside or deep, you can
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: continue to live in those single high structures without a
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: lot of fear. And then you can sit at certain
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: depths and play the low intermediate to the underneath, or
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: place certain routes because the whole menu isn't available to
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: them where you're not scared of that whole menu happening.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: And you know, it really kind of reared its head
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: last year in the Ravens game and in the Texans game,
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: similar to kind of what happened with the Patriots this year, right,
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: And I hate to keep saying this because it sounds
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: like I pat myself on the back and I'm not.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: But I said it last year, I said it this year.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: Teams with good and or athletic corners are gonna be
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: able to play single high and cover the Bills one
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: on one on the outside. The Pats did it with
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: Gonzales and Davis. The Ravens did it last year with
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: Weggans and even Stevens to a degree, but also Humphrey.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: The Texans did it because they have Stingly on one
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: side and last year on the other. Like, teams with
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: good corners are just gonna play single high and bet
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: that their guys can lock up the Bills guys on
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: the outside and then they can play the run with
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: bodies and numbers in the box. That's my fear of
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: Why said you need to be able to win deep.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: You need to be able to get some shot plays
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: and some chunk plays because you have to get teams
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: out of single high a little bit, or you could
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: get him in a single Hiye, that's fine. You gotta
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: go play action. You take advantage of Dalton can Kaid
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: on some crossers. You got to use him as that
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: matchup mismatch creator, I should say against safeties, against linebackers,
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: take advantage of it that way. But even then that
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: starts to again shrink the field, shrink your operating space,
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: and kind of build tendency even further. But yeah, I
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: expect that single the single high thing is going to continue,
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: especially if Cooper is out. The only way it's going
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: to go away is if the Bills start to really
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: win outside and vertical, and I don't see that happening.
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: And even if it does to that degree, their run
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: game is still going to be priority for defenses, so
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: you're still going to see a lot of single high
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it's a bit. That's what I've talked about.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: Even though their run game is great and you're forcing
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: defense out of the too high structure, it's not this
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: too high structure kind of putting a cap on everything.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: It's these single high structures with good or athletic corners
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: locking guys down. The Bills have to find answers elsewhere,
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: which they have at times. Right, they do have some
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: man beaters. I think Palmer can do that in the
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: underneath and the intermediate. I think King Kate is a
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: mismatch against linebackers and safeties it's just a matter of
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: getting to that consistently and tying it in with some
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: scheme pieces as well. But it creates again this kind
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: of never ending cycle or perpetuating cycle or never ending
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: story or kind of a snake chasing its tail or
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: eating its own tail type deal. Not great, not great,
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: not great, but we'll see. M hmm.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 3: What There was a comment.
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: Matthew says, is there any way we could do anything
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: this season to start stopping the run with the players
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: still on the roster. Yes, you have to win with
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: numbers and rumblets the same way they did last year.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: They're gonna have to gap out, they're gonna have to
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: play more single high, they're gonna have to spin a
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: safety down on the snap or line up with the
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: safety in the box pre snap. They're gonna have to
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: win with numbers because I just don't see the players
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: on the roster the way they're built this team. I
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: don't think they have enough guys who are stout to
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: anchor and mitigate displacement and or get off blocks and
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: win consistently to disrupt the run. So if you can't
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: win individually, you're gonna have to win with numbers and
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: that's kind of where they are unfortunately, which is the
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: same thing they were, the same spot they were in
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: last year, so which is frustrating, but fortunately a kind
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: of is what it is. What I think, no injuries.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: We talked about the defense bomb bomb bum like it's
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: comment here saying Dean Walker's flashes are amazing, but his
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: lows are still well low. Absolutely, he's had some really
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: nice flashes, very positive, but he's still work in progress,
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: and I think a lot of his work in works
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: in progress are being h glossed over a little bit.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: There any other further questions, thoughts, commons, concerns, feel free
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: everyone to get them into the chat. As I talk
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: about the best pizza in Buffalo, New York. That is
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: One Pie Pizza. If you don't know, One Pie Pizza
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: is sincerely the best pizza in Buffalo, New York. I
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: don't say that because they sponsored the show. They sponsor
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: the show because they think they are the best. Sweet
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: sauce pie cup and char Pepperoni, a great cheese sauce ratio,
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: homemade blue cheese. If you get a multitude of toppings,
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: they'll chop them up, sprinkle them evenly across the pie.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: They have an awesome pizza named after the show and
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: the brand. They do a bunch of breakfast pizzas, They
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: have a bunch of great salads, and just everything they
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: have is sincerely delicious. You should get yourself some One
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: Pie Pizza if you want to know, Hey, you know
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: what's what's on the pizza named after the brand. First off,
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: it's called the Cover One Alan Goat. It's got homemade
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: red sauce, goat cheese, chicken fingers, mozzarella, cheese, red onion,
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: and bacon. It is absolutely phenomenal. If you live in Buffalo,
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: get yourself to One Pi Pizza. If you're visiting Buffalo,
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: get yourself to One Pie Pizza. They also have a
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: catering division called Elevated Catering a Buffalo. If you're doing
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: an event, get them to do an event for you.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: I've had them do multiple form me over the past
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: couple of years, and every time I've done it, it's
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: been absolutely great. Just a ton of good dishes. I
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: get some pizzas with them as well. But they do
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: chicken and rice dishes. They do mac and cheese. They
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: do a variety of mac and cheese. Like everything they
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: do sincerely is great and they're good people on top
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: of it, with all the initiatives and drives and things
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: they do for the city and the community at large here,
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: including the Toys for Tots drive that will be coming
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: up soon that I will have more details for as
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: we go forward. So shout out to one Pi Pizza,
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: the best pizza in Buffalo, New York. I'm gonna thro
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: up the banners as tootles folk, because we're gonna start
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: to wind down here. Jesus says, if you're visiting from NYC,
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: bring some pizza with you when you visit. Man, I
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: wish I could travel with them by pizza would be amazing.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: I would travel with it everywhere I go. Uh yeah,
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: So I don't think again, bills are rolling two obviously
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: the last two weeks. I don't think the wheels have
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: fallen off. I don't think this team is doomed. I
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: do think they have some flaws. I do think they
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: have some vulnerabilit You know, it depends on what verbiage
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: you equate to each word or you know, how you
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: want to use each furbage, right, Like, flaws, deficiencies, vulnerabilities,
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: any of those things they do have those and to
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: whatever degree you know you use each of those words,
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: I do think they have some flaws and or deficiencies
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: and or vulnerabilities. The run defense is still going to
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: be an issue. I don't think they can fix that
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: as much the coverage issue. From a zone standpoint. I
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: think they can fix it from being more technically sound
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: and fundamentally sound. But I think they can fix it
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: a little bit with more man coverage and more match elements.
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: I don't think they can go true man consistently because
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: I don't think they have the bodies for it. Oh,
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: thank you so much, Arthur, and you got me with it, Arthur,
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: thank you very much for being here and being a
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: consistent commenter and for the super chat donation. Arthur says, Aunt,
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: thank you very much for the show. These are always
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: fun and informative. I know you don't like to post compliments,
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: but I also know you respect the monetary donation plaid
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: me against myself. Well done, well done, cheers to you.
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for that. Sincerely, I appreciate the
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 1: kind words and the comment and the super chat and
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: for you being here in general. Arthur. That's awesome. Thank
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: you so much. Yeah, so coverage. I think they can
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: fix that a little bit by getting away from true
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: spot drops spot drop zone, But that comes with its
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: own set of risk and reward. That means you're playing
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: some man. That means you're playing more match coverage, rules
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 1: based coverage. That means you cant have communication issues or
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: complexity issues on the back end, And so that comes
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: with its own set of worries. The pass game being
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: found out a little bit, that's a little scary. Predictability
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: on both the defense and offense. That's a little scary. Injuries.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: We'll see what that can kind of do to this
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: team a little bit and make things up. Pop says,
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: in what ways do you see Hoy helping? I see
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: Hoy helping from a mismatch creation standpoint. You can align
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: him on the edge on early downs. You can put
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: him over the center or in the a gaps on
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: pass rushing downs. You can line him as an off
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: ball linebacker. You can blitz him, you can spike him
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 1: on games, you can loop him, you can drop him
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: into coverage every once in a while. I think you
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: really do kind of have a mini chest piece with
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: him mixed with physicality and violence, which is pretty awesome.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: So I see him helping just from a a schematic
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: perspective in terms of mismatch, creation protection, dictation protection, rules
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 1: breaking and disruption and some fun creative looks hopefully ideally
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: with him. There was also one and says, play action.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: Why are we not running it much more? I asked
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: this every year, and now I'm starting to think it's
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: just that Josh Allen doesn't like play action. I don't know,
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: because it just seems like an absolute given that if
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: you have a really good run game, you should run
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: play action and use that to generate explosives and chunk plays.
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: And it feels like their play action game should be
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: used more frequently and or should be better. But alas,
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: we're kind of just in the same spot as were
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: last year. Matthew says, the Land and Jackson play yesterday.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: I thought I saw his jersey. He did play yesterday.
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: Those are my only thoughts. He did play, he did play,
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: he did play. So yeah, I don't think everything is
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: on fire. I don't think any everything is terrible. We'll
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: see what this team looks like coming out of the
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: bye week. Bye weeks are traditionally very important to teams.
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: These are your opportunities to self scout course correct and
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: we'll see how much of that course correction and that
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 1: self scouting aligns with guys coming back from suspension, guys
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: get healthier. We'll see what happens. But I do think again,
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: I don't think this team is in trouble or in
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: dire straits. But they do have flaws, they do have vulnerabilities,
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: they do have deficiencies. They do need to clean them up.
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: I don't think they can all be cleaned up because
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: I think a good chunk of them are tied to
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: the personnel on this roster and who they've built this
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: roster out of from a body type standpoint and an
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: archetype standpoint, and until they change that, that's the larger
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: picture in a conversation for a whole other episode. The
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: schematics or what the schematics are. They can tweak those
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: two a degree, but a lot of them are tied
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: to the body types and the archetypes that they choose
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: to bring in to this defense. And then it becomes
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a chicken and egg scenario. So
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: we'll see what this team can be going forward. I
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 1: really appreciate everybody who tuned in to this episode live

• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: Landon Jackson did anything. Joey hit it on the head
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: when he said land and Jackson, those are my only thoughts,
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: and then a whole bunch of has maybe me spit
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: my drink? Yeah? That that was my answer. Matthew. You
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: know when you asked if he did anything, he played.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: I think he had like a night. I don't not
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: even he played. He played, but he's still learning. He's
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: a healthy scratch when there when they're full tilt for
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: a reason. But we'll see what his trajectory continues to
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: look like. Thank you everybody, Sorry Matthew, Thank you everybody
