Speaker 1: In this episode of this Guy's coverage, we are doing
2:02
Speaker 1: a full film breakdown episode of every single one of
2:06
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills defensive snaps in the second half against
2:09
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. Obviously a standout performance because they
2:13
Speaker 1: held the Patriots to seven points in that second half
2:16
Speaker 1: after getting you know, shredded and thrashed in the first
2:19
Speaker 1: half for twenty four points. You know what changed, what worked,
2:22
Speaker 1: what happened. Talking about all of those things and more,
2:25
Speaker 1: you know, in tandement in conjunction with one another. And
2:29
Speaker 1: to do that, I'm joined by one of my favorite people,
2:32
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be essentially diving, literally diving into all
2:34
Speaker 1: nineteen plays. There's eighteen official plays nineteen including the holding
2:39
Speaker 1: penalty on the third and fifteen completion to Hunter Henry.
2:42
Speaker 1: So we'll be diving into all of that, framing it
2:45
Speaker 1: a bit. So I'm gonna keep this centro a bit
2:46
Speaker 1: short and bring on my guests, who I'm very happy
2:49
Speaker 1: was able to join me. One of my favorite people,
2:52
Speaker 1: mister Mistel. Oh wow, we're a minute and forty five
2:55
Speaker 1: in now, mister and Kendall and I flubbed it and
2:58
Speaker 1: I hate myself, Miss Kendall, Mrsky, welcome back to the
3:03
Speaker 1: show for I don't know whatever time. A lot of
3:07
Speaker 1: times I'm digging.
3:08
Speaker 2: I'm digging.
3:09
Speaker 1: I'm digging the lights and field background.
3:10
Speaker 2: It's sick. I appreciate you.
3:12
Speaker 1: I'm pumped to, you know, walk on this journey with
3:14
Speaker 1: you as we break down all these plays and talk
3:16
Speaker 1: about what the Bills did in the second half.
3:18
Speaker 2: Welcome to the show. Yeah, thanks for having me again.
3:20
Speaker 2: It's always great to be back and always nice to
3:23
Speaker 2: just be able to talk Bills and just kind of
3:25
Speaker 2: talk shop with you.
3:26
Speaker 1: Now from a high level perspective, before you know, we
3:30
Speaker 1: really get into the tape nitty gritty and all these
3:32
Speaker 1: types of things. Where are you high level on the
3:36
Speaker 1: Bills defense as a whole, like not even just obviously
3:39
Speaker 1: in a vacuum of the game against the past, but
3:41
Speaker 1: high level as they continue to push for the playoffs,
3:44
Speaker 1: ideally getting some guys back. Where's your head at. Are
3:47
Speaker 1: you confident in this group? Are you wary? Are you
3:50
Speaker 1: worry about a certain area? Is it everything overall around
3:53
Speaker 1: the whole? Where's your head at? When you know you
3:55
Speaker 1: think Bill's defense and kind of just push for a championship.
3:58
Speaker 2: I think this game makes it tough because for what
4:02
Speaker 2: two and a half of the previous games, we felt
4:05
Speaker 2: like the run defense was actually improving a little bit,
4:08
Speaker 2: and then this game happened, and you know, all of
4:11
Speaker 2: that just kind of came crashing back down. So I
4:14
Speaker 2: think that actually muddies it a little bit. I think
4:19
Speaker 2: as high level as I can get about it is
4:21
Speaker 2: I think at their best, they're an average defense. But
4:26
Speaker 2: we haven't seen them at their best really other than
4:31
Speaker 2: that Chiefs game, and like that was a very small sample,
4:36
Speaker 2: Like it was truthfully, just that Chiefs game.
4:41
Speaker 1: Everything, Yeah, I think looks so pretty. We were all
4:43
Speaker 1: so hopeful.
4:44
Speaker 2: M H. So I think average at best, and we
4:48
Speaker 2: saw it, and I don't know if we get back
4:50
Speaker 2: to that. Sure, adding at Oliver in the playoffs it's
4:53
Speaker 2: probably gonna help, but like, is it going to be
4:55
Speaker 2: one hundred percent at Oliver? How much is that really
4:59
Speaker 2: going to help get us back to average, So at
5:01
Speaker 2: the end of the day, I think this is a
5:04
Speaker 2: bottom twelve defense that has issues against the run and
5:12
Speaker 2: is streaky against the pass. Is probably the best way
5:15
Speaker 2: I can put it, because I think everything in the
5:19
Speaker 2: past game really just depends on the marriage of Russian coverage.
5:23
Speaker 2: But I mean that that goes for everyone. But what's
5:26
Speaker 2: so unique to the Bills is they really only have
5:29
Speaker 2: one pass rusher that makes an impact, and that's Joey Bosa.
5:32
Speaker 2: So as long as we can you know, knock on
5:34
Speaker 2: would keep him healthy, that is really where we're gonna
5:37
Speaker 2: see that impact of the marriage of Russian coverage, because
5:42
Speaker 2: without him healthy, there's you know, you only have one
5:45
Speaker 2: half of that equation, and even one half of that
5:48
Speaker 2: equation is streaky, because I think both sides of that
5:50
Speaker 2: marriage are streaky and it just needs to kind of
5:53
Speaker 2: coincide at the right moments situationally, and I think that's
5:57
Speaker 2: what this defense has done well in the past. McDermott specifically,
6:01
Speaker 2: though in the last two and a half years or so,
6:04
Speaker 2: it's been very much reliant on situational defense and not
6:11
Speaker 2: necessarily on smothering, just holistically good defense because that's what
6:16
Speaker 2: we got used to in the early years of McDermott,
6:18
Speaker 2: in the early years of this regime. But now it's
6:21
Speaker 2: just kind of, you know, got to rely on those
6:24
Speaker 2: streaky moments and getting lucky in the right situations. But ultimately,
6:28
Speaker 2: I do think this is a bottom twelve defense that
6:31
Speaker 2: at their best, like they we can win despite it,
6:36
Speaker 2: But it doesn't feel like it will ever be a
6:38
Speaker 2: strength at any point this season.
6:40
Speaker 1: How concerned are you about the run defense? Do you
6:43
Speaker 1: think it's enough to hold them back? I think that
6:46
Speaker 1: the term, I feel like fatal flaw is like the
6:48
Speaker 1: hot like buzzword that people use to label like vulnerabilities
6:51
Speaker 1: or deficiencies now, so I try to like stay away
6:53
Speaker 1: from it because I feel like it's so buzzwordy and
6:55
Speaker 1: lacks a lot of context for a lot of things.
6:57
Speaker 1: But do you think the run defense is quote unquote
7:00
Speaker 1: fatal flawed? You see it as a how big of
7:02
Speaker 1: a vulnerability or deficiency do you see it as? And
7:05
Speaker 1: do you think it's something that can legitimately and or
7:09
Speaker 1: realistically hold them back from winning a Super Bowl this year?
7:15
Speaker 2: Well? I mean I feel like everyone talks about it
7:17
Speaker 2: once you get to December and once you get to
7:19
Speaker 2: the postseason, what travels, it's your run game in your defense, and.
7:23
Speaker 1: Got to run the ball on offense, come playoff time,
7:25
Speaker 1: got to stop the run on defense, come play right.
7:27
Speaker 2: But even beyond just stopping the run on defense, like
7:29
Speaker 2: you just got to be able to stop people on defense, right.
7:32
Speaker 2: So it's just it's an interesting conversation to have because,
7:37
Speaker 2: I mean, the Bills have done such a great job
7:39
Speaker 2: of building their team to be more successful in the
7:43
Speaker 2: postseason and be more successful once you know, weather hits,
7:46
Speaker 2: and you know, they just haven't really done the same
7:49
Speaker 2: thing on the defensive side. They've done so much to
7:52
Speaker 2: stop the the air raid offense is that you know,
7:55
Speaker 2: was the NFL, and it's kind of passed their defense
7:58
Speaker 2: by in some ways. So I don't want to I
8:03
Speaker 2: want to stop short of saying it's a fatal flaw,
8:05
Speaker 2: but like that that is really important and it's a
8:08
Speaker 2: really stabilizing factor to mitigate risk in the postseason, and
8:14
Speaker 2: that that is my biggest concern. And we have a
8:17
Speaker 2: very young, inexperienced interior defensive line outside of Daikwon Jones
8:23
Speaker 2: and Larry ogun Joby and thankfully and we'll probably highlight
8:26
Speaker 2: it a little bit here ogun Joby played probably his
8:30
Speaker 2: best game of the season in this past game, and
8:33
Speaker 2: it was nice to see. But we got to see
8:36
Speaker 2: him continue to stack on that to feel better about
8:38
Speaker 2: the veteran presence between him and day Kuon in the middle,
8:42
Speaker 2: because other than that, it's it's Dion Walker, who, yeah,
8:46
Speaker 2: he shows flashes, but he's been largely inconsistent through the
8:48
Speaker 2: season and we're playing the other rookie Sanders at edge,
8:53
Speaker 2: so it's it's a disservice to him and kind of
8:56
Speaker 2: a disservice to team. I see in the chat Jordan
8:59
Speaker 2: Phillips's experience instead being displaced. K Moorey had another good one.
9:02
Speaker 1: He said, the opposite running back exists. The Bills run
9:05
Speaker 1: defense have a career day, sir.
9:08
Speaker 2: So yeah, the defense, the run defense is it does
9:14
Speaker 2: feel like it has a lot of potential to be
9:17
Speaker 2: the fatal flaw of this team in the postseason, but
9:21
Speaker 2: I want to see it, right Like, I still want
9:23
Speaker 2: to see what it will be in the playoffs. And
9:26
Speaker 2: there's a part of me that thinks maybe we'll get
9:30
Speaker 2: a little bit more game planning for these postseason games
9:33
Speaker 2: because it feels like they go into these games being like, ah,
9:37
Speaker 2: we'll just throw our usual thing out there for the
9:39
Speaker 2: first quarter, and we'll adjust by half of this second quarter,
9:42
Speaker 2: by halfway through the second quarter where we'll make our adjustments,
9:45
Speaker 2: and then from there we'll play good ball. And it's worked.
9:50
Speaker 2: It has worked for them on defense, But I would
9:53
Speaker 2: like to think once we get to the playoffs there
9:55
Speaker 2: will be more intentional game planning to get off the
9:57
Speaker 2: hot starts on defense.
9:59
Speaker 1: That's fair and I think even tied into that, the
10:03
Speaker 1: I think I don't think it's a fatal fatal flaws.
10:07
Speaker 1: There's such a dramatic.
10:08
Speaker 2: It feels like a lot.
10:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think the run defense is very worthysome.
10:13
Speaker 1: I think it can sincerely hold them back. It just
10:17
Speaker 1: makes game script and so many other things matter so
10:22
Speaker 1: much more to them. Like if you can't stop the run,
10:25
Speaker 1: that's bad in and of itself, right, especially come playoff time.
10:29
Speaker 1: But then that also compromises your coverage structures on the
10:32
Speaker 1: back end, because how you choose to fit the run
10:34
Speaker 1: determines what you do on the back a end from
10:36
Speaker 1: a coverage standpoint, and then also tying it into the
10:38
Speaker 1: Bills offense, like the Bills offense, despite you know, some
10:41
Speaker 1: of their explosive play stats. They're not this like, oh,
10:45
Speaker 1: four plays seventy five yards touchdown, it's you know, seven plays,
10:48
Speaker 1: nine plays, twelve plays, sixty yards seventy yards, five minutes,
10:53
Speaker 1: seven minutes, eight minutes o'clock like the games are.
10:57
Speaker 2: I was actually noticing it even more so this past week.
11:00
Speaker 1: Granted the game changed a bit, but like Bills games
11:02
Speaker 1: feel like they're so short, Like if they start at one,
11:04
Speaker 1: it feels like the game is, yeah, the game's almost
11:06
Speaker 1: over by like three point fifty.
11:07
Speaker 2: Because games only go as long as they do because
11:11
Speaker 2: of the last two minutes of each quarter, yes, each half.
11:14
Speaker 1: And then halftimes strike drains it on like it's it
11:17
Speaker 1: seems very much like a game that's just flowing because
11:20
Speaker 1: of how the Bills operate. And I think Greg Olsen
11:22
Speaker 1: mentioned it maybe a couple weeks ago where somebody did
11:24
Speaker 1: like they the Bills gate, like the Bills shorten the games.
11:27
Speaker 1: And when you add on top of that, if they're
11:30
Speaker 1: getting run on, the game is getting shortened for them
11:32
Speaker 1: and possessions get limited it and that can be good
11:36
Speaker 1: for the Bills defense, but it's also stressful for the
11:38
Speaker 1: Bills offense. That means like if you're only going to
11:40
Speaker 1: get five possessions this game.
11:42
Speaker 2: You got to score. You're going to take seven minutes
11:45
Speaker 2: on a possession. You need to score a touchdown.
11:48
Speaker 1: Yes, if you're not going to have that quantity, you
11:50
Speaker 1: need to make sure you win with quality at all times,
11:53
Speaker 1: if you're not going to have the proper volume. And
11:55
Speaker 1: it just that's one little example, like so many things,
11:57
Speaker 1: I think, start to stack and build and compare negatively
12:02
Speaker 1: if they can. If any team can't stop the Rumbers,
12:04
Speaker 1: especially this Bills team with how they're built offensively and defensively,
12:08
Speaker 1: the good news I think is when you look at
12:10
Speaker 1: the AFC and how wide open it is, there isn't
12:15
Speaker 1: any team that's like, oh, they're like, this team can
12:18
Speaker 1: run on them.
12:19
Speaker 2: This team can run on them.
12:20
Speaker 1: I'm still somewhat worried about the Colts, but the quarterback
12:25
Speaker 1: piece is such a wild card. It could be positive
12:27
Speaker 1: or negative. But they can run the ball. Taylor's sick.
12:30
Speaker 1: Their offensive line can move, you know, in dis place,
12:33
Speaker 1: and they can run gap stuff.
12:34
Speaker 2: They can run the zone stuff.
12:36
Speaker 1: The Jags have run the ball a little bit, and
12:38
Speaker 1: you know, I think Liam Cohen's a good OC. And
12:41
Speaker 1: we'll see if Baltimore gets in Denver. I think has
12:45
Speaker 1: a good enough line and like run game, but it's
12:47
Speaker 1: like wonky with Nicks and how they operate. The Chargers
12:50
Speaker 1: can go heavy and move the ball, and you know
12:52
Speaker 1: that that's what they want to do with hardball and Roman.
12:56
Speaker 1: The Texans have been a bad offense, but have been better.
12:59
Speaker 1: But then when you played the Texans offense when they
13:02
Speaker 1: were bad and had Davis Mills, they run all over
13:04
Speaker 1: you in the first half, but then you kind.
13:05
Speaker 2: Of changed it a bit.
13:06
Speaker 1: So much is so wonky with this team and this
13:10
Speaker 1: defense and the run game piece is super annoying. Say,
13:13
Speaker 1: I kind of want to lead with that to get
13:14
Speaker 1: your thoughts on that as we transition into the kind
13:17
Speaker 1: of the conversation about this Bills Pats game, because you know,
13:20
Speaker 1: as you and I were talking about and text earlier
13:22
Speaker 1: in the week and then before we went live, you know,
13:24
Speaker 1: the Patriots and let me pull up the exact stats
13:31
Speaker 1: because I found this and I think I sent you
13:33
Speaker 1: this tweet two when I sent Excel was like, this
13:37
Speaker 1: is like pretty stark, the.
13:40
Speaker 2: Where is it here? Hold on? Thank you.
13:43
Speaker 1: In the first half of Bills Roth's Patriots, the Pats
13:47
Speaker 1: ran the ball twenty two times, for an EPA per
13:50
Speaker 1: rush of positive zero point four to three seven. That
13:53
Speaker 1: was the highest first half EPA per rush of any
13:57
Speaker 1: team in Week fifteen. Also, in that first off the
14:00
Speaker 1: first half, they had a rushing success rate of fifty
14:02
Speaker 1: seven point nine percent, which was the fifth highest rate
14:05
Speaker 1: of any team in Week fifteen. Obviously, that's still a
14:09
Speaker 1: great number in.
14:10
Speaker 2: It of itself.
14:10
Speaker 1: You almost have a sixty percent rushing success rate. Twenty
14:12
Speaker 1: two attempts. They got some you know, some traction on
14:15
Speaker 1: the ground with Henderson, with ramondre Stevenson, with Drake May.
14:19
Speaker 1: He's doing some keepers, he's running a bit twenty two times.
14:22
Speaker 1: Wildly successful. Second half the Pats ran the ball three times.
14:27
Speaker 1: And as much as I think people want to give
14:29
Speaker 1: more credit to the Bills of like, yeah, what the
14:31
Speaker 1: Bills are doing and playing on the front foot, and
14:33
Speaker 1: there is some of that in there, which we're going
14:34
Speaker 1: to get into as we uh talk a bit, but
14:37
Speaker 1: I really think the Pats, like getting away from that
14:41
Speaker 1: voluntarily is what completely changed this game. The Bill's biggest
14:45
Speaker 1: vulnerability is their run defense, and the patriotsly willing to
14:49
Speaker 1: pay the Pats like seemingly willingly went away from it.
14:54
Speaker 1: Then they also weren't getting first downs through the air.
14:56
Speaker 1: They were just feeding into this Bill's comeback so much
14:59
Speaker 1: where it was like the Bills score, they'd get a stop.
15:01
Speaker 1: The Bills score, they'd get a stop, and the Pats
15:03
Speaker 1: they're not having a lot of possessions. They only had
15:05
Speaker 1: the ball for four minutes and thirty seconds in the
15:08
Speaker 1: third quarter. They ran u what is it, ten plays
15:14
Speaker 1: for for twenty three yards. One drive was three plays
15:19
Speaker 1: negative six yards. The other one was seven plays twenty
15:22
Speaker 1: three yards. That one ended in the interception to Trey White.
15:25
Speaker 1: The previous one to three for negative six went for
15:27
Speaker 1: a punt, like them kind of taking themselves out. Still,
15:31
Speaker 1: looking back on it, like surprises me because they work
15:34
Speaker 1: the Bills on the ground in the first half and
15:36
Speaker 1: then you come out at halftime you're up twenty four
15:37
Speaker 1: to seven. Granted, the Bills get the ball first, they score,
15:40
Speaker 1: but the Bill's biggest deficiency is stop.
15:43
Speaker 2: In the run.
15:43
Speaker 1: They didn't stop it for you in the first half.
15:45
Speaker 1: You run the ball in the first play of the
15:46
Speaker 1: second half, Ogen Joebey gets a stop, and it was
15:49
Speaker 1: almost like they didn't want to run and use that
15:53
Speaker 1: negative as like, well, look they stopped the run, we
15:56
Speaker 1: gotta go to the air now. And it just it
15:58
Speaker 1: fed into what the Bill do better defensively. It played
16:01
Speaker 1: into their hands, It played into the game script, and
16:03
Speaker 1: it went round and round, and I that's like my
16:06
Speaker 1: biggest takeaway in one of the things when we get
16:07
Speaker 1: into the plays here again we have nineteen eighteen official.
16:11
Speaker 1: One of the nineteen was a holding penalty that kind
16:13
Speaker 1: of negated that play. But you're only gonna see three runs,
16:16
Speaker 1: and that's like one of my biggest Like start, I
16:21
Speaker 1: was thinking, like, man, they're gonna come out in the
16:22
Speaker 1: second half. They're probably gonna go heavy. They're gonna keep mashing.
16:25
Speaker 1: They're gonna want to milk this clock. They're gonna want
16:27
Speaker 1: to shorten the game. They're gonna want to limit possessions
16:29
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen. And instead I almost feel like they
16:31
Speaker 1: did like a Baltimore Ravens playoff Galaxy Brain type of
16:35
Speaker 1: deal where they were like, oh, they probably think we're
16:37
Speaker 1: gonna run, let's pass it, and it's like, no, shut.
16:39
Speaker 2: Up, just run the ball.
16:40
Speaker 1: Just run the ball, Like this is the Ravens against
16:42
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, and what twenty twenty three like, don't get.
16:45
Speaker 2: Cute, shut up, just run the ball. Just run the football.
16:48
Speaker 1: And the Ravens ran it like eleven times they came
16:49
Speaker 1: or something ridiculous.
16:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm still like shocked by what the pats mo
16:56
Speaker 2: or operating style. It is so interesting to be because
17:00
Speaker 2: McDaniels called such a perfect first half, Like, yes, he
17:05
Speaker 2: was dictating to the Bills defense that entire first.
17:08
Speaker 1: Half completely on the back foot.
17:11
Speaker 2: Used trick plays when no one was expecting it. He
17:14
Speaker 2: had a perfect mix of run and pass. He was
17:17
Speaker 2: calling such a great game and yeah, you said it.
17:20
Speaker 2: They were up seventeen going into halftime. It's the absolute
17:24
Speaker 2: nightmare game script for the Bills. And they touched the
17:27
Speaker 2: ball for the first time in the second half, still
17:29
Speaker 2: up ten, and it almost felt like there was some
17:32
Speaker 2: message in the locker room that was, all right, we
17:35
Speaker 2: need to step on throats here and we can't just
17:37
Speaker 2: try to play conservative keep away ball. We need to
17:42
Speaker 2: put them away with points instead of putting them like
17:44
Speaker 2: there was almost like a fear of Josh Allen element
17:47
Speaker 2: where it's like we got to outscore them still because
17:50
Speaker 2: they're gonna be feisty and comb What.
17:52
Speaker 1: Gets me with that is real quick, and because it
17:54
Speaker 1: ties into this comment from Julio here who said the
17:56
Speaker 1: Pats felt like they had to score they knew we
17:58
Speaker 1: had comeback. Mojo that and what you said, I think
18:02
Speaker 1: your common is fair. I think who theo is common
18:03
Speaker 1: is fair. But if you feel like you have to
18:06
Speaker 1: score against the Bills, completely understandable.
18:08
Speaker 2: Just just run it. The best way to score such
18:12
Speaker 2: it And like you have to understand who you're playing.
18:15
Speaker 2: And that's that's the thing, because I think in a vacuum,
18:19
Speaker 2: those messages are true, right, in a vacuum, but because
18:22
Speaker 2: of who they're playing, it's actually more aggressive to actually
18:25
Speaker 2: just run the football against the Bill. Yes, that's exactly,
18:27
Speaker 2: like I get it.
18:28
Speaker 1: Like it's interesting if I'm sitting there with Josh McDaniel,
18:30
Speaker 1: I'm like, why did you McDaniels, I'm like, why did
18:32
Speaker 1: you only run through times? It's like, well, you know,
18:33
Speaker 1: we felt we had to score. I'm like, no, I
18:34
Speaker 1: get it. You you did need to score, and you
18:36
Speaker 1: do run the ball. You're no, you're not running the ball.
18:40
Speaker 1: You weren't running the ball in the first half to
18:42
Speaker 1: not score, right, We're running the ball to score, to
18:44
Speaker 1: attack them, And it worked.
18:46
Speaker 2: And keep very interesting. Keep doing that. I like your
18:50
Speaker 2: point about the one negative play being like just cause
18:53
Speaker 2: for not doing it again.
18:55
Speaker 1: It was like McDaniels like came out and was like
18:58
Speaker 1: see like yes, Like he was like, I feel like
19:01
Speaker 1: we should pass the ball here, And as soon as
19:02
Speaker 1: that negative happened, he was like, that's a sign sign
19:05
Speaker 1: from the gods.
19:06
Speaker 2: It's just weird.
19:07
Speaker 1: We're going from here.
19:08
Speaker 2: Let's pass it. Let's pass it all over.
19:09
Speaker 1: And even when like May was missing guys and struggling
19:13
Speaker 1: a bit, it was like, you know, run the ball.
19:17
Speaker 1: Even towards the end, I think like their last driver
19:19
Speaker 1: or the second last drive, and we get into it.
19:21
Speaker 1: They have a first down run for five yards with
19:23
Speaker 1: Travion Henderson and then they followed up with two passes
19:26
Speaker 1: and it's just like just and I get it. Then
19:28
Speaker 1: it's around like two minutes and you're like, Okay, let's
19:30
Speaker 1: we got it. We got to start moving here. But
19:33
Speaker 1: you can still pop off like eight yard runs against
19:35
Speaker 1: the Bills, fifteen yard runs against the Bills.
19:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.
19:38
Speaker 1: A very interesting style that they operated with in the
19:42
Speaker 1: second half. Something I did want to bring up that
19:45
Speaker 1: ties into this and then we're going to dive into
19:46
Speaker 1: the film. I was looking at and we're going to
19:49
Speaker 1: see it a bit with how the Bills attacked the
19:51
Speaker 1: Patriots in the second half, and I wanted to give
19:52
Speaker 1: these numbers to kind of frame it. The Bills early down,
19:57
Speaker 1: so first and second down, early down blitz rate by quarter. Okay,
20:04
Speaker 1: from a run defense standpoint, it's insane. Their first quarter
20:09
Speaker 1: so again, early down, first and second down blitz rate
20:12
Speaker 1: by quarter. First quarter it's twenty one point one percent,
20:15
Speaker 1: the second quarter it's nineteen percent, the third quarter it
20:19
Speaker 1: jumps to twenty eight point three percent, and the fourth
20:23
Speaker 1: quarter it jumps the thirty five point seven So as
20:26
Speaker 1: soon as the second half starts on the year, they
20:28
Speaker 1: are very much like And what is indicates to me,
20:31
Speaker 1: especially when you watch to take uh oh, we're getting
20:33
Speaker 1: run on. We gotta start sending dudes, we gotta start
20:35
Speaker 1: sending numbers. We gotta start attacking. We got to play
20:37
Speaker 1: on the front foot. We gotta start blitzing the run
20:41
Speaker 1: more so than the past. Now, what's wonking with run
20:44
Speaker 1: blitz and pass blitzes? Right, If you blitz, you could
20:47
Speaker 1: be blitzing thinking a pass is coming, but the offense
20:50
Speaker 1: runs the ball. So it gets charted as a run blitz,
20:52
Speaker 1: and vice versa, you can be blitzing to stop the run.
20:54
Speaker 1: The Bills have had this second example with their cornerback
20:58
Speaker 1: blitz is a bunch right, like they're blitzing to stop
21:00
Speaker 1: the run. Christian Benford's blitzing Joe Burrow to stop the run.
21:04
Speaker 1: Burrow ends up throwing it, it turns into a pass blitz.
21:07
Speaker 1: Benford intercepts it and takes it to the house right.
21:09
Speaker 1: So depending what the offense ends up doing, that changes
21:12
Speaker 1: the numbers a bit. But even their pass blitz numbers
21:14
Speaker 1: on first and second down twenty four point six percent
21:17
Speaker 1: quarter one thirty point two and quarter two thirty nine
21:20
Speaker 1: point seven in the third quarter, and then twenty four
21:23
Speaker 1: point two in the fourth also tying into that third
21:27
Speaker 1: down blitz rate by quarter, So this one usually you're
21:30
Speaker 1: getting more passes on third down, so it's more of
21:32
Speaker 1: a true from a pass blitz standpoint. This is pretty
21:35
Speaker 1: intense too. Third down blitz rate by quarter for the
21:39
Speaker 1: Bills first quarter thirteen point three, second quarter seventeen point one,
21:46
Speaker 1: third quarter thirty eight point five, fourth quarter thirty nine
21:51
Speaker 1: point five. They turned into Brian Flores in the second
21:55
Speaker 1: half between the past and even the run, but everything
21:58
Speaker 1: I put all those to say, come second half, they
22:01
Speaker 1: are very much a different defense where it's like, okay,
22:06
Speaker 1: no more, whether it's sitting back literally figuratively, let's start
22:10
Speaker 1: mugging gaps, we're sending dudes, we're attacking. We're bringing true blitzes.
22:14
Speaker 1: This isn't even like simulated pressures and creeper pressures or
22:17
Speaker 1: were still rushing fourth. This is actually five or more rushers.
22:20
Speaker 1: Like so if those rates are even higher once you
22:23
Speaker 1: include the sims and the creepers. They start attacking in
22:26
Speaker 1: that second half, and not just against the Pats but overall.
22:30
Speaker 1: And I think that's in line with the type of
22:32
Speaker 1: defense they have, how teams attack them, and I think
22:35
Speaker 1: that's reflected in the tape, and so I kind of
22:39
Speaker 1: wanted to not only just in the tape they were
22:40
Speaker 1: gonna look at, but I think overall, when you watch
22:43
Speaker 1: this team, it's very it's very interesting how those rates
22:46
Speaker 1: change because they're not a high blitz rate team. They're
22:48
Speaker 1: like twenty fourth on the year, twenty fifth bottom. Yeah,
22:53
Speaker 1: they're low, but it gets into the second half and
22:55
Speaker 1: between their you know, pass blitzes on third downs and
22:58
Speaker 1: they're run blitzes on first and second. They become a
23:01
Speaker 1: blitzing team and they have to That's how they have
23:04
Speaker 1: to stop the run. They got to use numbers, they
23:06
Speaker 1: gotta steal gaps. It's not coming down to okay, cool,
23:09
Speaker 1: we'll just sit with six or seven in the box.
23:11
Speaker 1: Somebody wins up front. Boom boom.
23:13
Speaker 2: We're good.
23:13
Speaker 1: We're solid at our run fits. We got good individual players. No, like,
23:17
Speaker 1: their scheme doesn't inherently work to stop the run. Neither
23:19
Speaker 1: do the players that they have, right and how they
23:22
Speaker 1: built this roster, so they attack it with attacks. They
23:25
Speaker 1: attack it with blitzes and with run stunts and all
23:28
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So can't out out execute you
23:32
Speaker 1: got out scheme.
23:33
Speaker 2: That's fair, that's fair kind of. Let's dive into the tape.
23:37
Speaker 2: Let's get after it.
23:38
Speaker 1: That's what everyone's here for. I feel like people would
23:40
Speaker 1: like to stop talking.
23:41
Speaker 2: No one cares. That's fair. I understand that. I understand.
23:44
Speaker 2: All right, let's put it up there. See a big
23:46
Speaker 2: boy screen.
23:47
Speaker 1: Okay, this first play here is from so each play
23:53
Speaker 1: is going to have you know, the little marker that
23:54
Speaker 1: we see right over yaw, I have this on every
23:58
Speaker 1: single play. Some of these plays our multi angle, so
24:01
Speaker 1: we'll have the end zone angle of the sideline angle.
24:03
Speaker 1: But you're gonna get down here. What's essentially like setting
24:06
Speaker 1: the stage for each play. So the quarter, the down
24:09
Speaker 1: and distance, and then the score, whoever's leading, and what
24:12
Speaker 1: the score is. So this first play, Kendall, this is
24:14
Speaker 1: the one we talked about with Larry Ogunjoby. It's first
24:16
Speaker 1: to ten right now, third quarter, first possession for the Pats.
24:21
Speaker 1: The Bill has just scored, cut the lead to twenty
24:23
Speaker 1: four to fourteen. Not much going on here other than
24:25
Speaker 1: a Larry ogun Joby tackle for loss. The Pats are
24:28
Speaker 1: gonna run a little bit of gh counter. He's gonna
24:31
Speaker 1: beat the down block from the center right here, get
24:34
Speaker 1: into the backfield and make a play. I'm gonna watch
24:38
Speaker 1: Austin Hooper's gonna go a motion. There here comes the
24:40
Speaker 1: g Here comes the h Watch Larry Ogunjoby. So the
24:46
Speaker 1: center's coming here trying to see Ogunjoby, and Ogujobe does
24:48
Speaker 1: a good job beating him, plays right through him, gets
24:52
Speaker 1: into the backfield, stops Henderson and Josh McDaniel seemingly was
24:57
Speaker 1: just like okay, the run's never gonna work. Let's This
25:00
Speaker 1: is a nice play from Larry ogun Jobey for sure,
25:03
Speaker 1: And I also thought what was nice too on this play.
25:05
Speaker 1: I like her Russau just squeezes down and spills and
25:08
Speaker 1: then watch Milano meet and then check Thompson fill right
25:14
Speaker 1: off of that in the gap like, it's a good fit.
25:17
Speaker 1: Even if Ogunjobi doesn't, you know, blow this up.
25:21
Speaker 2: So the guard, they have much better leverage here than
25:25
Speaker 2: we had in the first half.
25:26
Speaker 1: Yes, the guard looks too log and seal Rousseau inside,
25:31
Speaker 1: Milano comes forward acts as the forced player, takes on Hooper.
25:36
Speaker 1: Even if ogun Joby doesn't meet, this here your set
25:38
Speaker 1: and then he's making his way here. This is a
25:40
Speaker 1: solid run fit coming out of the second half, so
25:42
Speaker 1: I wanted to highlight that also in addition to Larry
25:45
Speaker 1: Ogunjoby's play.
25:47
Speaker 2: So the thing that I wanted to talk about and
25:50
Speaker 2: highlight on this play was really how it compares to
25:53
Speaker 2: the first half, because what I noticed in the first
25:55
Speaker 2: half was the Bills were particularly getting gashed by gap runs. Yes,
26:00
Speaker 2: and they went the Patriots went eight for ninety nine
26:06
Speaker 2: on gap runs in the first half.
26:08
Speaker 1: Does that include that includes the Henderson house call?
26:10
Speaker 2: Right?
26:11
Speaker 1: They does yes, yeah, right, Okay, that's what I thought.
26:14
Speaker 1: So if you remove that, it's what seven for fifty something,
26:18
Speaker 1: which is still a very healthy number.
26:20
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't remember the exact distance of that one,
26:23
Speaker 2: but point ping. This was the only gap run in
26:25
Speaker 2: the second half. I mean, there were only three runs
26:28
Speaker 2: total in the second half, but this is the only
26:29
Speaker 2: gap run in the second half. But in the first half,
26:33
Speaker 2: the Patriots were averaging nine point nine yards before contact
26:39
Speaker 2: per gap run. It's crazy, and like you can see
26:42
Speaker 2: it here, like it's a very clear adjustment between just
26:45
Speaker 2: the penetration from Ogunjobi and then the leverage from the linebackers.
26:48
Speaker 2: You highlighted it perfectly. But as you can see, even
26:51
Speaker 2: if the the front doesn't deal with the yards before contact,
26:56
Speaker 2: you see the linebackers are going to get contact before
26:59
Speaker 2: five yards. Everyone's in position. Everyone has made the proper adjustments.
27:03
Speaker 2: And it was clear that there was emphasis on Okay,
27:07
Speaker 2: they're beating us up on these gap runs. We need
27:09
Speaker 2: to out leverage them to the gap, and they did
27:12
Speaker 2: a good job of it on this first play. Yeah,
27:15
Speaker 2: I was very happy with this.
27:16
Speaker 1: Those are some great staff polls on the gap run pieces.
27:18
Speaker 1: I had numbers in general, and their yards before contact
27:22
Speaker 1: were like super stark and dramatic. Their yards after contact
27:25
Speaker 1: were terrible in this game. Like it just they get misstackles,
27:28
Speaker 1: but if they're also getting they've been decent yards before
27:30
Speaker 1: contact this year, like middle of the pack, but they
27:34
Speaker 1: just can't get off blocks. They're only getting shoulders on guys,
27:36
Speaker 1: which contributes to the yards after contact, and then they're
27:38
Speaker 1: also missing tackles at times. Muddy, messy, unfortunate. This next
27:44
Speaker 1: one nothing crazy, So this is the play obviously right
27:46
Speaker 1: after we're going in sequential order. This is a second
27:48
Speaker 1: and eleven for the Patriots twenty four to fourteen Pats
27:52
Speaker 1: at this point. Nothing crazy on this, just a play
27:54
Speaker 1: action pass from the Patriots. Just I get well Boks
27:59
Speaker 1: of influences this throw, but you get essentially a short
28:03
Speaker 1: throw here from Drake May. We're gonna get Stefan Diggs
28:07
Speaker 1: coming across in the motion, He's gonna come out and
28:11
Speaker 1: do his Stefan Diggs like kind of slow release, like
28:14
Speaker 1: what am I doing? A little skip bang, He's gonna
28:16
Speaker 1: break outside. Bosa really does a good job like influencing
28:20
Speaker 1: this throw. If you watch Bosa who is.
28:24
Speaker 2: Right now.
28:26
Speaker 1: Going slow mo here he sees it, he plays through
28:30
Speaker 1: the block and not necessarily like heats up may but
28:33
Speaker 1: gets in this window and the like. This is a
28:35
Speaker 1: lot of space for for Diggs.
28:39
Speaker 2: The Bills are essentially in quarters.
28:41
Speaker 1: They're locking the backside there, so then you got a
28:44
Speaker 1: quarter their quarter there, and then Trey is dropping as well,
28:46
Speaker 1: so it's only Milano on the inside. So if this
28:49
Speaker 1: ball is out in front, this is a catch and turn.
28:51
Speaker 1: Even if it's a little more here, he can get
28:53
Speaker 1: a feel maybe cut back like there's an opportunity, but
28:55
Speaker 1: because of Bosa's presence, it's hard for me to kind
28:58
Speaker 1: of get the right trajectory and pace on that threat.
29:01
Speaker 1: It's a little underneath, could catch by Diggs. I also
29:03
Speaker 1: like how Milano.
29:04
Speaker 2: Just like Milano gives it to him on that he
29:10
Speaker 2: doesn't worry. We were gonna get called for that one.
29:13
Speaker 1: You know what I found in the game, and Digs
29:15
Speaker 1: got up and said something to him. They holland said
29:17
Speaker 1: something to him after. But yeah, this is the second
29:19
Speaker 1: play play action pass not a big game, largely because
29:22
Speaker 1: Bosa influences the throw.
29:25
Speaker 2: I'm happy that you clarified that it's quarters. I was
29:27
Speaker 2: curious if it was cover six with just man to
29:30
Speaker 2: the top side.
29:31
Speaker 1: So so much of what they've been doing in this
29:34
Speaker 1: half like they were, even when they're doing split field
29:37
Speaker 1: cover stuff, like they're locking yeah, exactly, the quarter side
29:40
Speaker 1: is essentially a man's side, so much of what they
29:42
Speaker 1: were doing if there is so like I'll wait for
29:45
Speaker 1: the motion to come across, and essentially what we're gonna
29:47
Speaker 1: get here largely is a three by one. There's the three,
29:50
Speaker 1: and there's the one up here. But even if it's
29:52
Speaker 1: in shotgun and there's three here, say May is here
29:56
Speaker 1: and the running back is right here, they a majority
30:00
Speaker 1: in this second half backside is locked one on one.
30:03
Speaker 2: The running back is locked too.
30:05
Speaker 1: So even if it's quarters to that side, whether they're
30:08
Speaker 1: playing you know, cover six where you've got quarters to
30:11
Speaker 1: the passing strength, cover two to the back or like
30:13
Speaker 1: they were playing a lot of it, there's a decent
30:14
Speaker 1: junk of cover eight in this second half here where
30:17
Speaker 1: you're playing cover two to the passing strength quarters to
30:20
Speaker 1: the backside. People still call cover six but which technically
30:23
Speaker 1: is wrong. But whatever, anytime they would get that quarter side,
30:27
Speaker 1: whether they were in quarters or if it was with
30:28
Speaker 1: cover eight, when they were getting that to the back side.
30:32
Speaker 1: Essentially they're locking it in, man, like this guy's locked
30:34
Speaker 1: and man, this guy's locked in, man. So what essentially
30:37
Speaker 1: we get on this one If you watch Harriston stays
30:40
Speaker 1: on booty, I can't say his name and not laugh.
30:44
Speaker 1: We get him locked in and then you notice like
30:47
Speaker 1: Shack initially steps and reads play action, but then he
30:49
Speaker 1: stops and he sees the boot from May Tarrn continues
30:53
Speaker 1: because Terryn is locked and man. Yeah, because you even
30:56
Speaker 1: notice too, like Terran, like Arran is making kind of
30:58
Speaker 1: a b line to go this way. It's not like
31:00
Speaker 1: he's just covering down and giving it a no cover zone.
31:03
Speaker 2: He's playing the run and then also playing the running backs.
31:06
Speaker 1: Trey gets me a little here because he hinges.
31:09
Speaker 2: That's where I got confused on this on which side
31:12
Speaker 2: was the actual quarters, because it could be I read
31:15
Speaker 2: it as the field side.
31:18
Speaker 1: Part of me is also thinking two is so. But
31:22
Speaker 1: because he's still in like a quarters alignment here and
31:24
Speaker 1: he's not widening, it makes you think this front side
31:27
Speaker 1: is still quarters or it could be to read or
31:32
Speaker 1: palms where Trey is opening up. And because palms, you'll
31:37
Speaker 1: still have that safety that's safe. You'll still be in
31:39
Speaker 1: like quarters or cover four alignment, and then Trey will
31:44
Speaker 1: sit and read two to one and exactly pops out.
31:47
Speaker 1: He'll jump it. But maybe he's sitting here thinking like okay,
31:50
Speaker 1: but he would still respect that a bit underneath.
31:52
Speaker 2: But yeah, because you can see as Hollands breaks it off,
31:55
Speaker 2: he's getting depth with him.
31:56
Speaker 1: So that makes me think covered the Yeah, yeah, okay,
32:00
Speaker 1: that's that's for me. Why it's just the board. They're
32:05
Speaker 1: locking the backside and then playing more of a true
32:08
Speaker 1: quarters to the field.
32:09
Speaker 2: When I watched this, I mean, I don't like to
32:11
Speaker 2: just watch film to assign blame, but I like to
32:13
Speaker 2: watch film to figure out, Okay, why is their open grass?
32:17
Speaker 2: And to me, I was trying to figure out, like, okay,
32:19
Speaker 2: is it Tray is at Milano. Milano gets sucked up
32:21
Speaker 2: by the play action fake and you know if he's
32:24
Speaker 2: supposed to play the the wide flat here, like he's
32:28
Speaker 2: just not going to get there in time because he
32:30
Speaker 2: has false steps towards the run, Like that's not necessarily
32:32
Speaker 2: that's also him.
32:33
Speaker 1: That's also one indicates quarters to me too, like so yeah,
32:36
Speaker 1: it's the true Like again, they're locking the backside, but
32:39
Speaker 1: then Milano steps in because he's in the run fit.
32:42
Speaker 1: But after the play action you see him immediately get
32:46
Speaker 1: eyes to get with He's like, oh, I have to
32:49
Speaker 1: get over here.
32:50
Speaker 2: Okay. Cool. So that makes sense that I was trying
32:53
Speaker 2: to figure out, like why there's so much open grass
32:55
Speaker 2: there and why Tray was just so wi.
32:57
Speaker 1: Corror quarters whatever, whether spot drop or match, you get
33:01
Speaker 1: that that flat is a vulnerable, vulnerable spot, which again
33:05
Speaker 1: is understandable to play.
33:06
Speaker 2: Actually, you had a good play call, but Joey bow
33:08
Speaker 2: is good play call, but against another play call, Like
33:10
Speaker 2: sometimes there's just gonna be openings.
33:12
Speaker 1: I love how he just straight sumo splashes. There's there's
33:15
Speaker 1: some all jokes aside, like there's some way to the splash.
33:18
Speaker 2: You can feel it, oh for sure. And for years
33:21
Speaker 2: that's been Oh this is what we teach, like make
33:24
Speaker 2: them feel you.
33:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, make him feel you. He did on that one.
33:27
Speaker 1: Shout out to him this next one. So this is
33:30
Speaker 1: the end of this drive. This is a third and
33:32
Speaker 1: seven for the Pats, still in the third quarter twenty
33:34
Speaker 1: four to fourteen. Then we're gonna look at two camera
33:36
Speaker 1: angles on this one. This is Matt Mlonald's sack first
33:40
Speaker 1: sec of the game, I should say what we're gonna.
33:43
Speaker 2: Get from me on this one?
33:44
Speaker 1: My you know, charting on this it's quarters from the bills,
33:47
Speaker 1: but they're gonna bring Dorian, so you essentially get a
33:51
Speaker 1: five man rush. And if the running back leaks are releases,
33:54
Speaker 1: Dorian Williams here would take him, so he's essentially adding
33:57
Speaker 1: on as a rusher here. I'm gonna talk about that
33:58
Speaker 1: more in detail in a minute. And then and the
34:01
Speaker 1: solo receiver side again, you they're locking him in meg coverage,
34:04
Speaker 1: which is mayn everywhere he goes, that's Harston to the
34:07
Speaker 1: bottom of the screen there and then to the top.
34:09
Speaker 1: They're essentially playing like a box or a four to
34:12
Speaker 1: over three. So also what happened on this one, I
34:15
Speaker 1: gotta be careful with like how I time the cutups
34:18
Speaker 1: so like things don't get flagged for copyright and all
34:21
Speaker 1: this nonsense. But what you saw initially Remandre was oh,
34:24
Speaker 1: come on, what's going on here?
34:25
Speaker 2: Thank you?
34:25
Speaker 1: Ramandre was lined up out here.
34:28
Speaker 2: Why are you not doing? Okay?
34:29
Speaker 1: It was lined out up here. It won't let me
34:31
Speaker 1: do it down, but he was lined up down more
34:32
Speaker 1: like closer to the boundary. May calls him in motion
34:35
Speaker 1: Dorian goes with him and is now here, so Dorian
34:40
Speaker 1: is going to attack Remandre on the staff. We saw
34:43
Speaker 1: so much of this in the second half, where the
34:44
Speaker 1: Bills were attacking the running back and if the running
34:48
Speaker 1: back would step up and meet them and release, they'd
34:52
Speaker 1: go with them. If the running back stayed in the block,
34:55
Speaker 1: they would turn into an add on rusher and go,
34:57
Speaker 1: or they might just create a collision point at the line,
35:00
Speaker 1: keep him here and kind of spy May. So it
35:02
Speaker 1: was a nice job kind of taking away that option
35:06
Speaker 1: for Drake May. And again here we go. Here's harriston
35:09
Speaker 1: man eyes on Booty, so we got meg coverage to
35:12
Speaker 1: the bottom where he's locked in.
35:13
Speaker 2: Dorriian attacks.
35:15
Speaker 1: Ramandre sees that he's staying in the block, so he's like,
35:18
Speaker 1: all right, cool, let me become a fifth rusher. And
35:21
Speaker 1: then here we're just matching over here. We've got four.
35:24
Speaker 1: That's a horrible shape there. It looked like I drew
35:26
Speaker 1: trappasoy or whatever that is, uh, four over three, and
35:29
Speaker 1: they're just matching the distribution. So and it actually works
35:33
Speaker 1: out pretty well with what they do because you've got
35:35
Speaker 1: kind of a loose bunch up here. But it turns
35:38
Speaker 1: into a whole bunch of switch releases and they pass
35:41
Speaker 1: this off decent. You see tearing the nickel. He's gonna
35:44
Speaker 1: go up top with Diggs and essentially matches him there.
35:48
Speaker 1: This becomes the vertical. So these two right here, Trey
35:52
Speaker 1: and Bishop are relating to that, and then Shaq Thompson
35:55
Speaker 1: has the innermost man, which is Matt Collins coming on
35:57
Speaker 1: the drag.
35:59
Speaker 2: Shack's there. There's opportunity for Mac to get this ball
36:02
Speaker 2: and maybe if he gets him out the run.
36:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe he beats Shaq, but Shaq is decently moving
36:06
Speaker 1: with him, is ahead of him a bit. Maybe he
36:08
Speaker 1: can cut this thing off. But you can see even again,
36:11
Speaker 1: we started out from his zone perspective. Look at Terren's eyes.
36:14
Speaker 1: Now he's locked in because he's matching. Shaq is moving
36:18
Speaker 1: in relation to him. He's matching, So essentially got like
36:22
Speaker 1: that quarter's look, but it would be more of a
36:24
Speaker 1: true you know seven in coverage. If if Ramandre would
36:30
Speaker 1: have come right here on the snap and gone this way,
36:32
Speaker 1: Dorian would have gone with him. So we're still locking
36:34
Speaker 1: that backside. But what's nice again, if he releases, he's
36:38
Speaker 1: getting man covered. If he stays in the block. We're
36:40
Speaker 1: attacking him, we're creating an add on Rusher scenario, which
36:44
Speaker 1: is what happens. We get a five essentially a five
36:47
Speaker 1: man pressure. Joey Bosa goes under, which forces me to
36:52
Speaker 1: step up a little bit. Greg Russeau slices in and
36:56
Speaker 1: goes hi create a little high low, tries to get
36:58
Speaker 1: May and then Milano. Wich'll see from the end zone
37:00
Speaker 1: Angle was able to fight through and he's the one
37:03
Speaker 1: who brings down Drake May for the sec.
37:08
Speaker 2: So it's one of those examples of good marriage of
37:11
Speaker 2: Russian coverage. You definitely said the one the one point
37:15
Speaker 2: that I was a little upset about, and I personally
37:19
Speaker 2: would have liked to see Shack squeeze a little bit
37:21
Speaker 2: closer on Matt Collins there. I felt like as he
37:24
Speaker 2: was kind of pivoting to run with him, he got
37:26
Speaker 2: a little more depth than he probably even intended to,
37:31
Speaker 2: probably just a momentum thing more than anything fair, But
37:35
Speaker 2: I would have liked to see him squeeze it a
37:37
Speaker 2: little bit closer. But yeah, what the Bills decided to
37:40
Speaker 2: do in this second half with how they plastered to
37:43
Speaker 2: running backs and just okay, we're gonna green dog the
37:45
Speaker 2: running back for the rest of this half, Like, just
37:49
Speaker 2: man up on him. Whatever he does, follow him, add
37:52
Speaker 2: on if you have to, whatever you're doing, just take
37:54
Speaker 2: him away. Because the Patriots, I'm pretty sure they're still
37:57
Speaker 2: I know they were early in the season top ten
37:59
Speaker 2: and past ten per game to running backs. It's a
38:03
Speaker 2: big part of Josh McDaniel's offense. He likes to utilize
38:06
Speaker 2: running backs, not just in the running game. So it's
38:08
Speaker 2: a really smart game plan to either force the Patriots
38:12
Speaker 2: to add them on to the pass protection or you're
38:16
Speaker 2: taking them away from the route distribution because you're just
38:19
Speaker 2: manning them up from the get go. So I like
38:21
Speaker 2: the game plan, the adjustment that they went with in
38:24
Speaker 2: the second half, and it kind of, you know, as
38:26
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick us still say, takes their strong hand away,
38:29
Speaker 2: make them play with their weekend fair.
38:32
Speaker 1: I think it's a fair call on Shack to My
38:34
Speaker 1: thought with him is I think initially he's so I
38:38
Speaker 1: think he sees the switch release m this becomes the
38:42
Speaker 1: new number three, which is who he has to relate
38:45
Speaker 1: to as they're matching here with four over three. I
38:48
Speaker 1: think he turns it up into depth. Yeah, So I
38:51
Speaker 1: think he's looking to match that. And then he gets
38:53
Speaker 1: eyes to Hollins and is.
38:54
Speaker 2: Like, uh oh, and he's actually going to be that.
38:59
Speaker 1: He's going to be the number three three.
39:00
Speaker 2: Let me pivot bit here, like right there, I want
39:03
Speaker 2: him to drive a little more. Just just drive on
39:06
Speaker 2: it by like a flat Yeah, it's just going flat
39:09
Speaker 2: with it, like you have the space, you have the speed,
39:11
Speaker 2: like you can keep up with him. Just drive a
39:13
Speaker 2: little bit to take it away. But I mean, no harm,
39:15
Speaker 2: no foul, We're fine. Here is great rush from Rousseau,
39:18
Speaker 2: good long arm and then good effort rush from Milana
39:20
Speaker 2: to squeeze through.
39:21
Speaker 1: I like how it works in tannem with one another.
39:23
Speaker 1: Like you see Bosa, you see already loading up with
39:25
Speaker 1: a cross shop. He goes this way, Rousseau eats a
39:30
Speaker 1: punch to the face. Also, I hate complaining with it,
39:32
Speaker 1: but like it was funny that Mike Rabel wanted to
39:34
Speaker 1: talk about the lack of holding penalties calls.
39:36
Speaker 2: There was a lot of illegal hands to the face
39:38
Speaker 2: from the Patriots in this game that weren't a ton.
39:41
Speaker 1: Rousseau punched in the face like literally like three times
39:44
Speaker 1: off the top of my head that I can think
39:45
Speaker 1: of right now, and it was nice.
39:46
Speaker 2: Truthfully, felt like this game was just poorly officiated on
39:49
Speaker 2: all sides.
39:50
Speaker 1: I don't think it was interference on the Trey White interception.
39:54
Speaker 1: I also don't think it was interference on Carlton Davis
39:56
Speaker 1: on Keon Coleman. I also don't think it was interference
39:58
Speaker 1: on Marcus Jones on Khalioshia here. But if you're not
40:01
Speaker 1: gonna call one thought it was.
40:03
Speaker 2: I'm I think if there's one of the three that
40:06
Speaker 2: should no. He he starts to he starts to turn.
40:13
Speaker 1: He starts to see it though it's not his fault
40:16
Speaker 1: that the quarterback under threw the ball.
40:18
Speaker 2: Okay, so that's one hundred the talking point. However, the
40:22
Speaker 2: precedent has been set that thrown.
40:25
Speaker 1: That's why I hate the president can kick. We can't
40:30
Speaker 1: reward the quarterback for under throwing the ball. What you're
40:34
Speaker 1: saying at the top, Jones recovered Alan under throws it
40:37
Speaker 1: a bit, so Jones is chasing after him, and then
40:40
Speaker 1: all of a sudden he sees Shaki go up, so
40:43
Speaker 1: he turns for it, but as he turns here, they
40:46
Speaker 1: collide and he gets flagged.
40:49
Speaker 2: Thirty years of precedent, man, that's thirty years of throwing
40:52
Speaker 2: that flag.
40:52
Speaker 1: Some people try to erase president every single day. Yeah,
40:56
Speaker 1: but I like this. Bosa goes outside, he gets popped,
40:58
Speaker 1: so works his way back in. And then what's nice
41:00
Speaker 1: here this last little piece from Malone. Nice little club
41:03
Speaker 1: right here with his outside I'm just in that arm inside. Yeah,
41:07
Speaker 1: work his way through and he is the benefit.
41:10
Speaker 2: Chary Noise I liked similar from Rousseau, the disengage with
41:15
Speaker 2: the outside arm, as he had the long arm there
41:18
Speaker 2: to get kind of the initial so he gets that
41:20
Speaker 2: risk control right here, Like as he's getting the illegal
41:23
Speaker 2: hands to the face, he gets yep, engaged with them.
41:26
Speaker 1: Look at him, look and just remove that hand and
41:28
Speaker 1: be like, get off me. And then works right through
41:30
Speaker 1: that inside shoulder.
41:31
Speaker 2: Nice.
41:32
Speaker 1: Even Dorian too, Dorian, right, y'all going after Mandre Stevenson.
41:37
Speaker 1: Watch Dorian attack Remandre and he plays through, uses that length,
41:40
Speaker 1: nice little shed there, moves right through.
41:42
Speaker 2: Nice And I think this was the start of a
41:44
Speaker 2: lot of stuff for really noticing may start to feel uncomfortable.
41:50
Speaker 2: I think was that play? Good call?
41:52
Speaker 1: Comment here from James who said why did the Patriots
41:55
Speaker 1: only have three running plays with a seven point seventeen point.
41:57
Speaker 2: Lead after halftime, we asked that same question. I have
42:00
Speaker 2: no idea.
42:01
Speaker 1: No one knows because the script didn't call for it, because.
42:04
Speaker 2: The NFL is raked. If like, if I was a
42:08
Speaker 2: Pats content person, that's.
42:10
Speaker 1: All I would be talking about this week, I would
42:12
Speaker 1: I would be so for sure this next one first
42:15
Speaker 1: and ten for the Patriots. It is now twenty four
42:16
Speaker 1: to twenty one because the Bills have scored eight touchdown.
42:19
Speaker 1: Nothing crazy here is just to cover one blitz. You
42:21
Speaker 1: were going to see Cole Bishop here as the blitzer.
42:26
Speaker 1: We're gonna get man coverage across the board as it
42:28
Speaker 1: shows man man man, man, single high post safety.
42:33
Speaker 2: Bishop's gonna blitz.
42:34
Speaker 1: We're gonna get uh a completion of Rimandre Stevenson out
42:37
Speaker 1: of the backfield on a swing route. He beat Check
42:38
Speaker 1: Thompson upfield, and we get some easy yardage.
42:42
Speaker 2: Like I said, McDaniels likes to likes to include the
42:46
Speaker 2: running backs, and I think made it a good job
42:48
Speaker 2: there of id ing just okay, quick man coverage. There's
42:52
Speaker 2: add on blitz got to get rid of the ball quickly.
42:54
Speaker 2: Then there's kind of the natural rub with Hooper's route
42:57
Speaker 2: there and creates a tough angle for Shackle definitely could
43:01
Speaker 2: have made the tackle. Would have liked to see him
43:03
Speaker 2: make that tackle, but he has a lot of space.
43:06
Speaker 2: So you kind of on the other side of things,
43:08
Speaker 2: if you're a Patriots fan, you also expect for Montre
43:10
Speaker 2: to make that first Yes.
43:12
Speaker 1: Very fair. Yeah, you'd love to make this tackle and
43:14
Speaker 1: turn into a second and eight or whatever. My main
43:17
Speaker 1: thing on this one, I didn't understand it during the broadcast,
43:19
Speaker 1: and I still don't understand it here. I don't know
43:22
Speaker 1: why Milano also got flagged for on sportsmanlike conduct.
43:25
Speaker 2: Oh that was a weird one. Yeah, that was doing
43:27
Speaker 2: it right. No, he does nothing.
43:29
Speaker 1: He's not doing anything right now, Like he pushes Remandre
43:32
Speaker 1: or kind of gets him off a little.
43:33
Speaker 2: Remo also punches him in the face. Then he gets
43:36
Speaker 2: the number calls, I think so. I think what they
43:39
Speaker 2: were trying to call was the retaliation for Dion Walker
43:42
Speaker 2: probably mouthing off, is my guess. But they botched the
43:46
Speaker 2: number assignments on who was flagged. I guess at the
43:49
Speaker 2: end of the day, I'm glad they washed it right,
43:52
Speaker 2: didn't they just call uh replay the down? Yes, I
43:56
Speaker 2: got washed for uh. I mean, if you're gonna mess
43:58
Speaker 2: it up like that, like, well, no, the death the
44:00
Speaker 2: down stood because it was after the play. But they ye,
44:03
Speaker 2: you're right, you're right, you're right off setting fouels. Which
44:06
Speaker 2: that was my time watching it live. I guess watching
44:09
Speaker 2: it live, I guess it wasn't fair.
44:11
Speaker 1: Next fair, next play here, we are going to get
44:15
Speaker 1: an angle route or a Texas route to Man.
44:18
Speaker 2: I'm so.
44:19
Speaker 1: I already said it in my head. I've been saying
44:21
Speaker 1: Travon Henderson for some reason. I always want to say
44:23
Speaker 1: Devrey Henderson, the old Saints wider. Yeah, and I said
44:26
Speaker 1: it in my head. Now Travon Henderson, a little angle
44:29
Speaker 1: route out of the backfield. This is one where the
44:33
Speaker 1: Bills are in cover eight, so we're going to get covered.
44:36
Speaker 2: So cover eight for cover six. There you go. Well
44:39
Speaker 2: it's still like you no, but what you said earlier
44:42
Speaker 2: makes me feel better about the designation. You're not.
44:45
Speaker 1: You're technically like not wrong. It's just the difference of
44:48
Speaker 1: like quarter quarter half versus half quarter quarter. The only
44:52
Speaker 1: difference is Cover eight. It's cover two to the passing
44:55
Speaker 1: strength quarters to the non passing strength Cover six. Thank yes,
45:00
Speaker 1: I would cover exactly cover six's quarters to the passing
45:04
Speaker 1: strength and then cover two.
45:06
Speaker 2: This is a learning experience for everyone, folks.
45:11
Speaker 1: This is one so where it plays out right where again,
45:14
Speaker 1: So now because we're in cover eight, we're getting cover
45:16
Speaker 1: two to this side, we're getting quarters to this side,
45:18
Speaker 1: and like I talked about, when we're getting that quarters
45:21
Speaker 1: to the back side, it's essentially they're locked. This is
45:25
Speaker 1: meg Man. Everywhere he goes Mlonald's locked on the running
45:28
Speaker 1: back like that's what has happened so much. So we'll
45:31
Speaker 1: watch the kind of play out here. You see Trey,
45:34
Speaker 1: he's gonna get a jam or.
45:36
Speaker 2: Like a re route on bootie. Watch him open and hinge.
45:40
Speaker 1: Also notice Cole Bishop he's kind of aligned at quarters depth.
45:44
Speaker 1: He's gonna widen. Why because that is the cover two side.
45:48
Speaker 1: So you see him widen and get depth. We got
45:51
Speaker 1: a hook curl here, the vertical hook defender there. So
45:55
Speaker 1: we're rocking Cover two to this side here and then
45:58
Speaker 1: straight up locked in man and here locked in man.
46:01
Speaker 1: Here you see Milano has to flow over the top
46:04
Speaker 1: here of Hunter Henry, which is nice for Henderson.
46:08
Speaker 2: Yep. So here goes Milano.
46:10
Speaker 1: He has to flow over the top and watch how
46:12
Speaker 1: perfectly at times right as he flows over the top.
46:14
Speaker 1: Is when Henderson kind of puts his foot in the
46:16
Speaker 1: ground on that angle route. Bang, Milonal's still working over
46:20
Speaker 1: the top. Henderson's already breaking inside. Milano actually does a
46:23
Speaker 1: pretty good job to cut this thing down and make
46:25
Speaker 1: the play in space because he's out leveraged, which is
46:28
Speaker 1: nice to see.
46:29
Speaker 2: This is great sequencing too for McDaniels after the play before.
46:33
Speaker 2: It's very similar where Shack has to get around that
46:37
Speaker 2: tight aligned tight end. Very similar kind of natural rub there,
46:42
Speaker 2: but instead of you know, the threatening swing pass, you
46:46
Speaker 2: show the swing and then cut it off with the
46:48
Speaker 2: Texas route. Just watching this every single time just makes
46:52
Speaker 2: me wonder, like, are we ever going to see a
46:53
Speaker 2: Texas route from James Cook this year? I would really
46:57
Speaker 2: like that. Like we've seen a whole lot of wheel
46:59
Speaker 2: routes and I guess not a lot of swing player
47:02
Speaker 2: some flare routes and some flat routes. Like yeah, but
47:05
Speaker 2: it seems somewhat natural to cut it off and make
47:09
Speaker 2: it a Texas route at some point. It's very similar
47:11
Speaker 2: sequencing to what we just saw there. You run the
47:15
Speaker 2: you run the swing, then you run the Texas, maybe
47:17
Speaker 2: the bills. You run the wheel then you run the
47:19
Speaker 2: Texas or a dig something there to dream.
47:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, dream this next play second and four for
47:28
Speaker 1: the pages. So now this is one right, you just
47:31
Speaker 1: got first and ten, got a six year completion to
47:33
Speaker 1: Travon Henderson. Right, it's second and four. The Bills have
47:38
Speaker 1: scored two straight touchdowns.
47:40
Speaker 2: You haven't.
47:41
Speaker 1: You've had the ball once you punted. It's second and four.
47:45
Speaker 2: Run the football.
47:47
Speaker 1: If you're the run the football right now. You should
47:49
Speaker 1: be running the football. Don't get cute. It's second and four.
47:52
Speaker 1: You could probably pick up all four. Worst case, you
47:56
Speaker 1: get it to third and two, third and one, I'd
47:58
Speaker 1: run it again, and then i'd run it on fourth down,
48:00
Speaker 1: and you can probably pick up the first. And you're
48:02
Speaker 1: chewing up clock while you're doing it, adding downs they
48:06
Speaker 1: pass here, spoiler, it's an incompletion. Got yes, it.
48:11
Speaker 2: Even more so?
48:12
Speaker 1: Right like and even with this look, granted, you know,
48:15
Speaker 1: maybe this could be a blitz. You could see something
48:17
Speaker 1: from the Bills here, but it's second and four. I've
48:21
Speaker 1: struggled to get a rhythm. If I'm the Patriots, if
48:23
Speaker 1: i'm McDaniel's, I'm seeing what the Bills are doing on
48:25
Speaker 1: the other side, and I think to your point, to
48:29
Speaker 1: Julio's point earlier, I think they were like, well, we
48:32
Speaker 1: got to answer, and I agree, But you could have
48:34
Speaker 1: just ran the ball and answered with the run. You
48:36
Speaker 1: still could have scored, and you could have taken up
48:38
Speaker 1: time at the same time. But to teach their own,
48:41
Speaker 1: what you're gonna get from the bills ends up being
48:44
Speaker 1: exactly what it looks like. So you're gonna get two
48:47
Speaker 1: man coverage here, and you've got press across the board.
48:51
Speaker 1: So man coverage press from Max Harrison up top against
48:54
Speaker 1: booty press, Taron Johnson one on one with Hunter Henry
48:59
Speaker 1: press man coverage Trey White at the bottom against Mac Collins.
49:05
Speaker 1: So again two man, all that is is man coverage
49:07
Speaker 1: underneath with two split field safeties. I really like what
49:11
Speaker 1: the corners do here, Max's coverage up top. And then
49:16
Speaker 1: what's really nice, we're gonna see Tearn and Trey simultaneously
49:19
Speaker 1: get into each of their receivers hip pockets, get in trail,
49:23
Speaker 1: get their eyes on hips completely in phase. So let's start.
49:26
Speaker 1: We'll start with this piece here. First, watch Terran and
49:28
Speaker 1: watch Trey how almost synchronized and coordinated. This is let's
49:32
Speaker 1: move with our man we're playing with man eyes. We're watching.
49:35
Speaker 1: I like how Terren plays through the contact that Henry's
49:38
Speaker 1: trying to create.
49:38
Speaker 2: Here is giving up fifty pounds yep and.
49:41
Speaker 1: Height and length and all that. Watch Terryn and Tray
49:45
Speaker 1: both at the same time like slip right into each bank.
49:50
Speaker 1: They're like in mirrored matching trail. While at the top
49:54
Speaker 1: Max is engaged with his man. There is very little
49:57
Speaker 1: wiggle room. They are restricting air space. May wants to
50:02
Speaker 1: go to mac Collins. But look at this, like Trey
50:05
Speaker 1: is eyes on hips, eyes on hips here, they're watching,
50:09
Speaker 1: they're reading the routes. They also know they got some
50:11
Speaker 1: support over the top right there to that side, and
50:14
Speaker 1: watch Trey just stay sticky, stay attached to Hollands runs
50:19
Speaker 1: the route for him, a great position. Honestly, if there's
50:23
Speaker 1: a better throw, maybe it gets intercepted. Although Trey rounds
50:25
Speaker 1: it out a little bit and he's on the back
50:26
Speaker 1: of Hollins. We get it in completion tip Trey is excited.
50:32
Speaker 1: The other thing I wanted to highlight on this one too,
50:35
Speaker 1: so because we're in two man same thing with the
50:37
Speaker 1: linebackers man coverage, man coverage, and Milano just creates a
50:42
Speaker 1: collision point with Romandre Stevenson. And like we talked about earlier,
50:47
Speaker 1: like I just they challenged the running backs a lot,
50:49
Speaker 1: either made them stay into pass pro or they created
50:52
Speaker 1: these collision points with them when they would release. And
50:55
Speaker 1: Milonald's is a good one here, Like watch Milano just
50:58
Speaker 1: step up and collision point. Yep, just eat him. And
51:03
Speaker 1: it's second and four, so it's legal. He's not holding him,
51:07
Speaker 1: he's just banging with him.
51:08
Speaker 2: It's under five yards.
51:09
Speaker 1: That's legal contact even you know, decent job from Shack
51:12
Speaker 1: here too. On Yeah, run with Travion, Yeah, some decent
51:16
Speaker 1: moving for him to come up and be like a
51:18
Speaker 1: little optional okay, cool, let me go this way and
51:20
Speaker 1: decent but restricted airspace, good coverage two man, I would
51:26
Speaker 1: have run the ball, yeah right, And I'm not saying
51:30
Speaker 1: that in hindsight, like I against this Bill's defense.
51:33
Speaker 2: It's second and four, run the ball. If it's me
51:35
Speaker 2: in hindsight, like I wish I didn't go pony and
51:38
Speaker 2: I had maybe I went twelve that way. The front
51:43
Speaker 2: would feel better to run into right, because it's like,
51:46
Speaker 2: what are you expecting Trevion or Romandre to be a
51:49
Speaker 2: lead blocker on that play? Because you're you're actually kind
51:52
Speaker 2: of at a numbers disadvantage six feet five there.
51:54
Speaker 1: I've met ramondre be a lead blocker for trade, so
51:57
Speaker 1: in theory, so would I, but he can.
52:01
Speaker 2: I would obviously prefer twelve personnel if we're playing hindsight bias.
52:06
Speaker 2: But I think what I notice here, and I noticed
52:09
Speaker 2: it live. It really felt like Drake may was picking
52:13
Speaker 2: on Trey White Mac Collins matchup just because of the mismatch,
52:16
Speaker 2: and I felt like when he realized, like, I don't
52:20
Speaker 2: like my options here, everyone feels covered, and you saw
52:23
Speaker 2: it on this play. This was very good rush coverage
52:25
Speaker 2: marriage here. It felt like he was like, Okay, I'm
52:28
Speaker 2: just gonna put it in a spot where only my
52:30
Speaker 2: guy can get it. And that explains the ball placement
52:32
Speaker 2: on this one, because you said it, if it's a
52:34
Speaker 2: better ball, Trey probably picks it. But he puts it
52:36
Speaker 2: in a spot where, Okay, my guy has what five
52:39
Speaker 2: inches on Trey, I'm gonna put it in a spot that, yeah,
52:41
Speaker 2: Collins is what like six three six four six three
52:44
Speaker 2: six four something like that, So yeah, he puts it
52:47
Speaker 2: in a spot where only Mac can get it. And
52:49
Speaker 2: I mean, no harm, no foul. And I mean, I
52:51
Speaker 2: guess aside from not running the ball, no harm, no foul.
52:54
Speaker 2: So I think it's a sound process from Drake, but
52:59
Speaker 2: better coverage from the Bills.
53:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, very fair, kudos to the car I like how
53:03
Speaker 1: Trey Trey's feeling it a little bit.
53:06
Speaker 2: Oh for sure, you could tell he was feeling it.
53:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can watch him right here, Like watch him
53:11
Speaker 1: point as if he's like.
53:13
Speaker 2: This is the start of this building. Yeah, a little bit.
53:16
Speaker 1: Now third and four for the Patriots. Why because it's
53:19
Speaker 1: the next play. In the previous play with second four
53:21
Speaker 1: we got incompletion third and four. Now we're going to
53:25
Speaker 1: get a completion for the Patriots. So one of their honestly,
53:28
Speaker 1: they're better plays of the second half. Along with the
53:30
Speaker 1: big Henderson house call. You get this nice completion to
53:33
Speaker 1: Digs on the drag. I want to call out Matt Mlano.
53:37
Speaker 1: You can see him in motion right now. This is
53:40
Speaker 1: what we saw a bunch of I mentioned it earlier
53:42
Speaker 1: when I was pointing to the bottom of the screen
53:43
Speaker 1: when like Remandre was here, but I didn't show that part.
53:46
Speaker 1: I just showed Dorian here and re Remandre here. If
53:49
Speaker 1: you notice Milano, why is he coming out here because
53:52
Speaker 1: Romandre Stevenson was up here, Milano was out here with him.
53:56
Speaker 1: May has called him back in, so Milano is now
53:59
Speaker 1: traveling with him.
54:00
Speaker 2: So we've got this third.
54:01
Speaker 1: And four, So we got him traveling Remandre. Same thing
54:05
Speaker 1: as we've been talking about a bit. Milano is going
54:08
Speaker 1: to attack Rimandre Stevenson. Ramandre is going to release, so
54:12
Speaker 1: Milana is going to attach. Like we talked about earlier
54:15
Speaker 1: with Dorian Williams, if Ramandre would have stayed in, I've
54:19
Speaker 1: Saidmandre more in this last thirty seconds that I.
54:21
Speaker 2: Have read in my entire life.
54:22
Speaker 1: If Rimandre would have stayed in, Milana would have been
54:25
Speaker 1: an add on rusher like we saw earlier with Dorian.
54:28
Speaker 2: Right, what ends up being kind of cool with this?
54:30
Speaker 1: I like this ends up kind of essentially turning into
54:32
Speaker 1: odd mirror with two man behind it. I don't love
54:35
Speaker 1: Shack's positioning, which we're going to talk about, but May
54:39
Speaker 1: ends up hitting digs on the drags. We'll start with
54:42
Speaker 1: the Milano piece who he's going to attack Remandre. See
54:48
Speaker 1: you'd see May and Ramandre talking having a little chat
54:51
Speaker 1: like he's like, yep, he's calling on the protection. He's
54:53
Speaker 1: iding everything because again, what are the bill shown here?
54:55
Speaker 1: It's third and four, but we've got one, two, three, four, five,
55:00
Speaker 1: six very viable rushers. And if we're looking at everything
55:03
Speaker 1: on the back end, what does everything scream?
55:05
Speaker 2: Man? Man? Yeah, man, exactly so. And you just saw
55:10
Speaker 2: the early from Jordan Hancock.
55:13
Speaker 1: Right, very fair, and we just saw what we literally
55:15
Speaker 1: saw two man on the play before, so maybe you're
55:18
Speaker 1: thinking it's the same thing calling everything out. Here's Milano
55:21
Speaker 1: who came in with Remandre were a little.
55:26
Speaker 2: So watch Milana.
55:27
Speaker 1: He steps up rusher here it come, but immediately gets
55:32
Speaker 1: eyes and shifts over and meets from and Andre Stevenson.
55:35
Speaker 1: Now Remandre is going to release, So what does milanald do?
55:38
Speaker 1: Collision point attaches mugs him right, But nothing else essentially
55:45
Speaker 1: matters because Stefon Diggs is one on one with Araron
55:48
Speaker 1: Johnson again essentially have man coverage here, tarn is gonna
55:53
Speaker 1: get beat by digs, lots of space bang, completion, catch
56:01
Speaker 1: and run.
56:01
Speaker 2: Now, I'm curious what you think about this, because I
56:04
Speaker 2: know you watched, you've watched the film on this game,
56:07
Speaker 2: but more than I already have, I've really only seen
56:09
Speaker 2: this second half, but just in this second half. I
56:13
Speaker 2: felt like Diggs was winning a lot and separating a
56:17
Speaker 2: lot on these like quick double moves, not deep double moves,
56:21
Speaker 2: but just kind of like shimmying and giving Tarn just
56:25
Speaker 2: a little bit extra body language, and then separating from
56:29
Speaker 2: him on the second move, like almost like a scramble
56:32
Speaker 2: drill type of just create out of nothing type of route. Yeah,
56:36
Speaker 2: and it felt like he gave him an extra shimmy
56:39
Speaker 2: here where Tarn didn't believe that it was a quick slant.
56:43
Speaker 2: But it was just a quick slant. He just ran
56:45
Speaker 2: the route that was called on the play sheet, and
56:47
Speaker 2: I don't think Tarren believed it.
56:49
Speaker 1: You know what's funny, Yeah, because you even see that
56:52
Speaker 1: this comment here from RC who says, why does Terren
56:54
Speaker 1: stutter in his pace?
56:55
Speaker 2: Exactly? That's what made me see that because a few
56:58
Speaker 2: plays prior, uh digs uncovered from Terran.
57:02
Speaker 1: Well yeah, I was even thinking even too, how he
57:04
Speaker 1: ran that route on Milana off the play action. He
57:08
Speaker 1: comes off the line and he.
57:09
Speaker 2: Pops here but then pops back down somewhat similar to that.
57:12
Speaker 2: It just wasn't against Terran.
57:13
Speaker 1: So yes, he paces his routes in those very deceptive ways.
57:18
Speaker 1: I would bet that's a call out from the coaching like, hey,
57:21
Speaker 1: you can't sell out the first move. Yes, don't fall
57:24
Speaker 1: for that first move because you can see that's a
57:27
Speaker 1: great call. Like he digs steps and Tarran is like, okay.
57:30
Speaker 2: Just doesn't buy it. He just doesn't buy the quick slant,
57:33
Speaker 2: that's all it is.
57:34
Speaker 1: And he stops right here like he chills it. Yeah,
57:38
Speaker 1: he breaks down and then all of a sudden he's like,
57:40
Speaker 1: uh oh, oh he is still going.
57:42
Speaker 2: You can even see him his eyes.
57:44
Speaker 1: Terran's eyes are almost a little more kind of like
57:48
Speaker 1: in the backfield, like looking through to May through digs
57:51
Speaker 1: and then watch his head.
57:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, his eyes are here.
57:54
Speaker 1: Watch his eyes shift once he's like, oh now his
57:58
Speaker 1: eyes are on digs because he's like, oh, he really
57:59
Speaker 1: is staying across.
58:00
Speaker 2: Yeah. It feels like he was trying to sit on
58:03
Speaker 2: a pivot route.
58:04
Speaker 1: Yes, I agree. Like he thought Diggs would come out,
58:06
Speaker 1: come here and then come back.
58:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, whether he was going whi and he was going
58:09
Speaker 2: to try to house it.
58:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's thinking, Okay, here comes the whip, the pivot,
58:13
Speaker 1: the return, whatever verbage you want to use. Yeah, good call,
58:16
Speaker 1: Nice job, Kendall, nice job chat.
58:18
Speaker 2: And then Allah every now and again, now and again.
58:21
Speaker 1: Uh so with the rush right, here's everybody locked in coverage.
58:27
Speaker 1: So now Bishop is on, Henry Milano is on Remandre.
58:31
Speaker 1: What we end up happening happening happening is one rusher,
58:37
Speaker 1: two rushers, three rushers.
58:40
Speaker 2: Spy.
58:41
Speaker 1: This to me is odd mirror with two men behind it.
58:43
Speaker 1: This is largely what Georgia plays, you know, the team
58:46
Speaker 1: that made odd Mirror famous recently. What I don't like
58:50
Speaker 1: I mentioned it. I don't like Shak's positioning. The whole
58:53
Speaker 1: idea with the yeah, like, the whole idea with odd
58:56
Speaker 1: Mirror is like you to be in a position where
58:59
Speaker 1: if the quarterback it's not off that spot, you're able
59:01
Speaker 1: to close immediately. Is that aggressive spy there is? And
59:05
Speaker 1: Bosa you know, actually I don't think I have no
59:08
Speaker 1: I don't have the enzone angle. You can see it here.
59:10
Speaker 1: Bosa wins inside he gets tripped, like his feet get
59:15
Speaker 1: tangled and he falls down.
59:16
Speaker 2: So if he goes to the boundary side, Shack has
59:19
Speaker 2: no chance.
59:20
Speaker 1: Correct, I don't. And Shaq's not in like the word,
59:22
Speaker 1: he's not in no man's land. But if it's May
59:25
Speaker 1: who has to get to hear yeah, shit, Yeah, and
59:30
Speaker 1: Mlonald's not helping because he's locked in man here. Harrison's
59:33
Speaker 1: locked and man here. Like I don't like the positioning
59:35
Speaker 1: of Shaq here as that aggressive spy.
59:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I like that. I mean I always assume
59:41
Speaker 2: like if you if you're playing spy, you gotta be
59:44
Speaker 2: directly aligned from him from a from a width perspective,
59:47
Speaker 2: rights just leverage wise, if he's on the hash, you
59:50
Speaker 2: stand on the hash. And he was like what four
59:53
Speaker 2: yards left of the hash?
59:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I get it, you know me, he's playing
59:56
Speaker 1: more to the field side or whatever. Maybe there's something
59:58
Speaker 1: with the call of like hey, this is where we
1:00:01
Speaker 1: want you to get under. But I would have liked
1:00:02
Speaker 1: them to cheat a little bit and yeah, like get
1:00:04
Speaker 1: more in line where you're head up.
1:00:06
Speaker 2: You know. That's a good point though, Like he could
1:00:09
Speaker 2: have been told to cheat to the passing strength. Yes,
1:00:11
Speaker 2: absolutely fair.
1:00:12
Speaker 1: And you know, not only is it the passing strength,
1:00:14
Speaker 1: it's also the field side this way, so I can understand.
1:00:17
Speaker 2: That a little bit. Yeah, yeah, that's nitpicking. You got
1:00:20
Speaker 2: to pick your poison, right, You got to pick your
1:00:22
Speaker 2: poison on where it's going to go.
1:00:24
Speaker 1: But again, what have we seen in this little bit.
1:00:26
Speaker 1: We've seen a pressure look drop out into man. We've
1:00:29
Speaker 1: seen some cover eight, We've seen some two man. We've
1:00:32
Speaker 1: seen a cover one blitz. We've seen quarters, different coverages,
1:00:36
Speaker 1: different up runts, coverages, change in fronts, changing personnel. Got
1:00:43
Speaker 1: some true three three five type of stuff, but a
1:00:46
Speaker 1: lot of it too, all of it in I hate
1:00:49
Speaker 1: the bucket it like this, but all of it with
1:00:50
Speaker 1: the idea of playing more on the front foot. You're
1:00:53
Speaker 1: playing man, you're playing press, you're matching, you're attaching to guys,
1:00:57
Speaker 1: you're creating collision points, you're rerouting, your showing pressure.
1:01:01
Speaker 2: This more.
1:01:02
Speaker 1: I don't want to say passive because I think people
1:01:04
Speaker 1: they can think passive means soctating too, and yes you are, Hey,
1:01:09
Speaker 1: we want to erase the running back right, let's force
1:01:12
Speaker 1: him to pass pro or oh, he's actually gonna release cool,
1:01:15
Speaker 1: let's mug the hell out of them, like playing on
1:01:17
Speaker 1: that front foot. They need more of this because they
1:01:19
Speaker 1: don't have the jimmies and Joe's to straight up say
1:01:23
Speaker 1: we're gonna beat you with our talent. And I also
1:01:25
Speaker 1: don't think they have like the straight up scheme and
1:01:27
Speaker 1: structure advantage where it's like everything is so confusing, like
1:01:31
Speaker 1: inherently we'll be able to take advantage of that. They
1:01:34
Speaker 1: have to press more of those buttons consciously and from
1:01:37
Speaker 1: a you know, cognizance standpoint, which I like in this one. Now,
1:01:42
Speaker 1: this is my other big run conversation here. So this
1:01:45
Speaker 1: next play, first and ten from the Bills forty three
1:01:49
Speaker 1: yard line. We have two camera angles here. The Pats
1:01:53
Speaker 1: have three plays in a row from here, a first
1:01:56
Speaker 1: and ten, a second and ten, a third and fifteen
1:01:58
Speaker 1: with a holding penalty, and then third and twenty five
1:02:01
Speaker 1: other than Bills make them run against. So technically four,
1:02:04
Speaker 1: you just got a first down. You're in Bills territory.
1:02:07
Speaker 2: Run the ball, run the ball. They can't like this,
1:02:11
Speaker 2: look though, right, I know they went heavy, but well no.
1:02:14
Speaker 1: But I mean well they whatever they called is what
1:02:16
Speaker 1: they called. I would have just called a run. I'm
1:02:18
Speaker 1: coming out and I'm running the.
1:02:18
Speaker 2: Ball, like, get back at it.
1:02:21
Speaker 1: You know where they're vulnerable. Why are you not attacking
1:02:25
Speaker 1: that vulnerability?
1:02:27
Speaker 2: Oh god?
1:02:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, kay, Morrey says, So you're saying we need an
1:02:29
Speaker 1: anti rumo respects. I would love to have that. Dare
1:02:32
Speaker 1: to dream to dream. So yeah, first and ten here
1:02:37
Speaker 1: we go on this play play action pass from the Patriots.
1:02:42
Speaker 1: We have cover eight again from the Bills. For those
1:02:45
Speaker 1: playing at home or maybe those new, that means we're
1:02:48
Speaker 1: playing cover two to the passing strength and on the
1:02:51
Speaker 1: backside or the non passing strength, we are playing quarters here.
1:02:55
Speaker 1: With how it is, we've got Hairston and Milano based
1:02:58
Speaker 1: on what the running back does, we've essentially got those
1:03:02
Speaker 1: two locked in man coverage like earlier when we had
1:03:05
Speaker 1: Cover eight and we had that on the quarter side.
1:03:08
Speaker 1: Greg Orsola is going to do a good job getting
1:03:10
Speaker 1: Drake May office spot. Daekwon Jones is going to do
1:03:12
Speaker 1: a really good job here hustling to run Drake May down.
1:03:16
Speaker 1: This is one where I think the covery where the
1:03:18
Speaker 1: rush kind of makes up for coverage a little bit
1:03:20
Speaker 1: or helps I should case kind of like indicate, so
1:03:23
Speaker 1: what do we got again? Little reroute down here hook
1:03:28
Speaker 1: curl defender. If we notice the widening of the safety
1:03:32
Speaker 1: and we get back here, here's Bishop here he's widening
1:03:35
Speaker 1: why because it's the cover two side, because we're playing
1:03:38
Speaker 1: cover two to the passing strength. Because we're in cover eight.
1:03:42
Speaker 1: I know I'm throwing a lot of terms out there.
1:03:43
Speaker 1: Feel free to stop me. If anybody's got what do
1:03:45
Speaker 1: we got locked in? Man up here, we're in meg
1:03:48
Speaker 1: man everywhere he goes man coverage here, that's the quarter
1:03:51
Speaker 1: side quarter safety here from his alignment, we are locking
1:03:56
Speaker 1: that backside.
1:03:57
Speaker 2: Now.
1:03:57
Speaker 1: Just because you're in cover eight, that doesn't mean you
1:03:59
Speaker 1: always have to lie the backside and man like the
1:04:01
Speaker 1: Bills are doing. I like that they're doing that. You'll
1:04:05
Speaker 1: see that, you know who you see that? Honestly a
1:04:06
Speaker 1: lot from the Texans. When the Texans get a three
1:04:10
Speaker 1: by one, whether they're in quarters, like, if they're in
1:04:13
Speaker 1: Cover one, it's straight up man anyway. But if they're
1:04:14
Speaker 1: in like quarters or they're in cover three, a lot
1:04:16
Speaker 1: of times they'll just lock.
1:04:19
Speaker 2: That solo receiver.
1:04:20
Speaker 1: But they could do that because it's like, well we
1:04:21
Speaker 1: have Derek Stingley and we have Kamari Lass. Good luck,
1:04:25
Speaker 1: good luck trying to beat one of those dudes, especially Stingy, who,
1:04:29
Speaker 1: if not for patz Artan, would be the best corner
1:04:31
Speaker 1: in football.
1:04:32
Speaker 2: So the Bill's credit, I mean, the person who's been
1:04:35
Speaker 2: on the backside of all of these plays, it's been Harriston, Yes.
1:04:38
Speaker 1: Who I think it's a great call. Christian Benford's out
1:04:40
Speaker 1: this game. Yeah, Kirston got a lot of these.
1:04:42
Speaker 2: Locked backside looks.
1:04:44
Speaker 1: Did really good in his own against various body types Hollands, Henry, Booty, Kam.
1:04:50
Speaker 2: I mean, granted, the Patriots don't have the most threatening
1:04:53
Speaker 2: wide receiver.
1:04:53
Speaker 1: But at body type they have a basketball lineup at pass. Yeah,
1:04:58
Speaker 1: and so watching Harston bang with those guys in a
1:05:00
Speaker 1: variety of ways and play physical and match athleticism but
1:05:03
Speaker 1: also tenacity.
1:05:04
Speaker 2: Nice to see May is gonna hit his drop.
1:05:09
Speaker 1: He's got some options potentially, but Rousseau beats his mane
1:05:12
Speaker 1: inside comes barreling down. May is like, uh oh, I
1:05:17
Speaker 1: gotta do something here.
1:05:18
Speaker 2: He evades.
1:05:19
Speaker 1: This is great from Daikwon Jones. The wide angle really
1:05:22
Speaker 1: shows it. Watch Dakwon Jones get on his horse.
1:05:25
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, the white really the end zone angle does
1:05:28
Speaker 2: a great, great justice to this. I mean, he he
1:05:30
Speaker 2: made this play this. This very easily could have turned
1:05:33
Speaker 2: into a four yard gain or worse. Yeah. From Drake
1:05:37
Speaker 2: May's legs. This was a very good chase down from
1:05:40
Speaker 2: I'm playing in slow over.
1:05:41
Speaker 1: They don't playing rithing. Yeah, look at that chase down
1:05:43
Speaker 1: forcing him out. He gets some love from the sideline
1:05:46
Speaker 1: after what I also wanted to show on this one.
1:05:48
Speaker 2: Too, So it's play action.
1:05:50
Speaker 1: They pull the right guard to help influence and sell
1:05:52
Speaker 1: play action. Watch Rousseau squeeze down like he like he's
1:05:56
Speaker 1: ready to wrong arm this and spill this run out here.
1:05:59
Speaker 2: You can even see Milano. I was gonna say, like
1:06:03
Speaker 2: the first play from.
1:06:04
Speaker 1: This exactly the OGUNJOBTFL that we talked about earlier. They
1:06:08
Speaker 1: are playing for this. He's gonna meet him here, spill
1:06:11
Speaker 1: this run out this way. Milano's gonna come over here. Boom,
1:06:14
Speaker 1: we got leverage. We're gonna take care of this thing.
1:06:16
Speaker 1: We're gonna squeeze it down. Rousseau sees the play action
1:06:20
Speaker 1: right now. Watch him engage. He knows he's got a guard.
1:06:24
Speaker 1: Boom immediately dips right inside, rips right through it, gets held,
1:06:29
Speaker 1: and plays through the hold.
1:06:31
Speaker 2: Shack in this whole process does a really good I mean,
1:06:34
Speaker 2: he's a little lost, but he does a good job
1:06:37
Speaker 2: of getting back into position to recover and not keep
1:06:41
Speaker 2: the middle of the field wide open because to your
1:06:42
Speaker 2: same point with Milano, he's scraping over the top to
1:06:45
Speaker 2: try and fill for what Russeau is squeezing, and he
1:06:49
Speaker 2: bails out of there the second he sees it. It's
1:06:51
Speaker 2: a pass and he gets in the window, the middle window.
1:06:54
Speaker 2: I mean, heybody gets in the middle window.
1:06:56
Speaker 1: Yes, And you can even see him like roboting a
1:06:58
Speaker 1: little bit as he goes.
1:07:00
Speaker 2: Oh, he's like, oh, it's a pass. Yeah. I like
1:07:02
Speaker 2: how he looks. He's looking to exactly you see him
1:07:05
Speaker 2: trying to figure out where the routes are.
1:07:08
Speaker 1: Yes, I like that, and we'll go back to the
1:07:09
Speaker 1: wide angle for it. Here here's Shack Thompson. O case
1:07:13
Speaker 1: it's hard to follow at home. Oh, I hate when
1:07:18
Speaker 1: that happens to me. Like I get a click and
1:07:19
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, oh great now I lost my spot.
1:07:22
Speaker 2: Man. No, it's I don't have sweem stamps for you.
1:07:25
Speaker 1: No, I'm good. I don't know. I have so many
1:07:27
Speaker 1: like clicks at the bottom here and like little things.
1:07:29
Speaker 2: This is the play. So here's Shack.
1:07:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, watch him get his head around being like, okay,
1:07:35
Speaker 1: where like do I got to attach to somebody? Where's
1:07:38
Speaker 1: the threat? But he sees pushing vertical. He's out here.
1:07:42
Speaker 1: He knows this is locked, so him just being in
1:07:44
Speaker 1: there is kind of a presence. He's trying to but
1:07:47
Speaker 1: and then he turns that way. Okay, is this do
1:07:49
Speaker 1: I need.
1:07:49
Speaker 2: To trying to figure out where he can help? Yeah? Nice?
1:07:52
Speaker 2: And then he just like you can tell he's a
1:07:54
Speaker 2: little lost, but he's getting to where he needs to
1:07:57
Speaker 2: be to help the team. He's doing it's one eleventh
1:08:00
Speaker 2: just trying to do something exactly.
1:08:02
Speaker 1: And then we end up, Uh, there's nearly no like
1:08:06
Speaker 1: viable options here.
1:08:08
Speaker 2: If May to your point, like if I think if
1:08:12
Speaker 2: if Kyle Williams was probably you know, more experienced, he
1:08:15
Speaker 2: could have sat in the middle here and found some
1:08:18
Speaker 2: soft part of this zone. But you know, he's a rookie,
1:08:21
Speaker 2: he's in his fourteenth game. We can't expect that of him.
1:08:24
Speaker 1: I May gets the stand in the pocket. If there's
1:08:26
Speaker 1: no pressure, Let's pretend none of this happens. Rousseau doesn't
1:08:29
Speaker 1: get penetration, doesn't get May off his spot. My thought is,
1:08:34
Speaker 1: Hooper's got a bit of a step. My thought is
1:08:36
Speaker 1: either the ball goes out here somewhere to Hooper or
1:08:40
Speaker 1: the May is like, you know what, I have faith
1:08:43
Speaker 1: in my speedy guy crossing Jordan Poyer's face, and I'm
1:08:47
Speaker 1: gonna chuck it up deep to Kyle Williams. But I
1:08:49
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be more towards Henry because he does
1:08:51
Speaker 1: have a bit of a step or not Henry Austin Hooper.
1:08:53
Speaker 2: Sorry, yeah, I think that's Hooper. But yeah, yeah it
1:08:55
Speaker 2: is Hooper because I think to your earliest point on
1:08:58
Speaker 2: this play, you're right like at the end of the day,
1:09:01
Speaker 2: this is a little bit more leaning of Yeah, Rush
1:09:04
Speaker 2: really did a lot for coverage here. If we have
1:09:07
Speaker 2: to assign credit, it's probably sixty forty here. Absolutely, run
1:09:13
Speaker 2: one more time.
1:09:14
Speaker 1: Here we go. Good job group, Bosa get Also a
1:09:17
Speaker 1: nice job from the Patriots perspective.
1:09:19
Speaker 2: Watch the help come on.
1:09:24
Speaker 1: Bosah. I'm seventy six. I don't really have anything to do.
1:09:28
Speaker 2: I'll find work. Drops Bosa.
1:09:32
Speaker 1: Good job, good job.
1:09:35
Speaker 2: It's a good effort play from Dake. One. People are like,
1:09:37
Speaker 2: good job day one.
1:09:38
Speaker 1: Second and ten now for the Patriots. So again, I
1:09:41
Speaker 1: get it. It's second and ten. You feel like you
1:09:43
Speaker 1: want to pass, maybe run the ball, get yourself some
1:09:47
Speaker 1: positive yards. Also, the Bills have a trouble defending the run.
1:09:49
Speaker 2: It's second and ten. You might get seven on this play,
1:09:51
Speaker 2: but get yourself out of a third and long potential.
1:09:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's fine, keep passing.
1:09:57
Speaker 2: The football.
1:09:59
Speaker 1: I want everyone to pay ten this one. This is
1:10:01
Speaker 1: the exact same play and presentation from the Patriots that
1:10:05
Speaker 1: we see on the final play of the game. This
1:10:09
Speaker 1: we're gonna get a little bit of like return short
1:10:13
Speaker 1: return or like yo yo motion there from Hunter Henry.
1:10:16
Speaker 1: It's going to be mesh from the Patriots. And we're
1:10:21
Speaker 1: gonna get a dropped interception from Jordan Poorter. So here
1:10:23
Speaker 1: comes Henry like he's coming across and he's gonna go back.
1:10:27
Speaker 1: He's gonna get in kind of a stack here. He's
1:10:30
Speaker 1: gonna run.
1:10:32
Speaker 2: Drag.
1:10:32
Speaker 1: He's gonna run the higher one. Diggs is the shallow one. Again,
1:10:36
Speaker 1: this is the exact same play from the Pats as
1:10:39
Speaker 1: the last play of the game. The only difference when
1:10:40
Speaker 1: we get to the last play of the game, Remandre
1:10:42
Speaker 1: doesn't release at all. He stays in the backfield. That's
1:10:45
Speaker 1: the only difference. Watch Poyer Porter sees it, closes down
1:10:49
Speaker 1: on it.
1:10:50
Speaker 2: Drake May makes a bad throw.
1:10:52
Speaker 1: I get ready to throw my remote at the TV
1:10:54
Speaker 1: live because this hits Poyer right in the hands and
1:10:57
Speaker 1: face and he doesn't pick it, and I was very disappointed.
1:10:59
Speaker 1: But all things considered, UH works out for the bills
1:11:04
Speaker 1: here on this play. From a coverage standpoint, it plays
1:11:07
Speaker 1: out like man covers with the bottom and then essentially
1:11:10
Speaker 1: what we get is a three over two to the top.
1:11:16
Speaker 1: So three over two here, and they're matching this so
1:11:19
Speaker 1: you can see Milano and and Harrison are both kind
1:11:21
Speaker 1: of like getting death. Milano's gonna take inside man, but
1:11:26
Speaker 1: he has to fight through somebody first. Max will go here.
1:11:30
Speaker 1: He goes here, player's driving because he sees the throw.
1:11:33
Speaker 1: This is yep, and then this is straight man here
1:11:36
Speaker 1: to the bottom the screen.
1:11:37
Speaker 2: What's Bishop's Bishop threw me off here on what the
1:11:39
Speaker 2: coverage was? What is Bishop doing?
1:11:41
Speaker 1: Bishop to me is as I play through here, he's
1:11:45
Speaker 1: almost like getting wide, like he's like starts to get
1:11:47
Speaker 1: like cover two depth and then he rides the hash.
1:11:50
Speaker 2: But it looks like he rides the hash, which is
1:11:52
Speaker 2: more he just kind of keeps the width of the
1:11:55
Speaker 2: most wide deep threat.
1:11:57
Speaker 1: This got me a lot, like I didn't know.
1:12:00
Speaker 2: To id the coverage. I was so confused.
1:12:02
Speaker 1: I thought of reaching out and asking some folks, and
1:12:06
Speaker 1: then I just I essentially know what I think Bishop
1:12:10
Speaker 1: did something off or so there's something that's off here,
1:12:13
Speaker 1: or there's something specific to this play that isn't like
1:12:16
Speaker 1: a not whiteboard coverage, but a thing that's like, yeah,
1:12:19
Speaker 1: so chartable because this.
1:12:20
Speaker 2: Is straight up everything else that you said makes perfect
1:12:24
Speaker 2: sense for me, except for Bishops position.
1:12:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, you could maybe you could even maybe play it
1:12:30
Speaker 1: like if you wanted to say, like, oh, it's like
1:12:32
Speaker 1: like a true match and he's taken the fast, the
1:12:35
Speaker 1: fast three or flat, but there's just you know, but
1:12:39
Speaker 1: instead you could why would you not just call a
1:12:42
Speaker 1: push call They're gonna do quarters and then he walls
1:12:44
Speaker 1: off number two and picks this up. There's a lot
1:12:47
Speaker 1: of like wonkiness here, So that's why I just labeled it.
1:12:49
Speaker 1: I think they're playing they're playing some kind of split
1:12:51
Speaker 1: field where it's made to the bottom of the screen
1:12:53
Speaker 1: and then they're matching up top and playing three over two.
1:12:55
Speaker 1: Because even because Poyer's depth.
1:12:58
Speaker 2: That it's the depth, it's how the safeties are playing
1:13:01
Speaker 2: in relationships just like yes, it's almost like Poyers playing
1:13:04
Speaker 2: like a deep robber or I was like, is he
1:13:08
Speaker 2: buzzing down?
1:13:09
Speaker 1: Is he? So at first part, the part of me
1:13:12
Speaker 1: right was like, oh, this is over one across the
1:13:16
Speaker 1: board and Bishop is just heavily shaded to decide, but
1:13:20
Speaker 1: I was like, well, that wouldn't make a lot of sense.
1:13:22
Speaker 2: But then the coverage up.
1:13:23
Speaker 1: Here isn't really straight like man, you can tell like
1:13:28
Speaker 1: you can tell Milano and Hairston are trying to sort
1:13:32
Speaker 1: this out. Yes, in terms of who they're going to
1:13:34
Speaker 1: take now, it could still be man coverage, and that
1:13:37
Speaker 1: means they could be like banjoing it and so okay,
1:13:41
Speaker 1: like whoever goes inside, I'm picking up. And then again,
1:13:44
Speaker 1: Bishop could be instead of being like the robber down here,
1:13:48
Speaker 1: like a low hole player, he could be robbing that side.
1:13:53
Speaker 1: There's a lot of possibilities here, but he drops the interception.
1:13:56
Speaker 2: Confused me, really confuse me on that point though. I
1:13:59
Speaker 2: was telling him friends as we were watching the game live.
1:14:01
Speaker 2: Everyone was so upset with Poyer. I think he was
1:14:05
Speaker 2: caught in between playing the player the receiver and playing
1:14:08
Speaker 2: the ball. He's surprised, he's not expecting it's a defender.
1:14:11
Speaker 2: You're yeah, you're expecting him to make that play and
1:14:13
Speaker 2: Henry like almost didn't even make an attempt at it.
1:14:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just a little throws a little too wide and.
1:14:19
Speaker 2: Still upsetting, but like you can kill you this very
1:14:22
Speaker 2: in between thoughts. Ball is right here, and you're just like,
1:14:25
Speaker 2: oh my god, picking he didn't squeeze his hands. He's
1:14:27
Speaker 2: like still like this because he's like, oh, I gotta
1:14:29
Speaker 2: yea ready tackle.
1:14:31
Speaker 1: It goes right through the hands and hits him right
1:14:32
Speaker 1: in the face mask. That's a tough one. Sucks such
1:14:34
Speaker 1: a poor feeling.
1:14:35
Speaker 2: To be fair, I also want to go back and
1:14:37
Speaker 2: make sure everyone knows I was asking about Bishop out
1:14:40
Speaker 2: of curiosity, not to assign blame to him. Fair. Gotta
1:14:44
Speaker 2: be carel nowadays.
1:14:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, next play, third and fifteen. This is the one
1:14:47
Speaker 1: that didn't count. Of the nineteen plays that we have,
1:14:50
Speaker 1: there's only eighteen official plays because this nineteen play that
1:14:53
Speaker 1: was holding uh Daikwon Jones is right now he's gone.
1:14:58
Speaker 2: That's a horrible circle sometimes really bad.
1:15:00
Speaker 1: Right here, he's gonna get held. This play is going
1:15:02
Speaker 1: to get nullified again. Another pass with the Patriots. This
1:15:06
Speaker 1: is quarters from the bills. We are going to get
1:15:09
Speaker 1: locked on the backside, so we got meg coverage there.
1:15:13
Speaker 1: Dorian is locked on Remandre and then we are going
1:15:17
Speaker 1: to play.
1:15:19
Speaker 2: Quarters.
1:15:19
Speaker 1: We're gonna get another add on rush from Dorian. Watch Dorian,
1:15:22
Speaker 1: he's going to attack Remandre on the snap, like we've
1:15:25
Speaker 1: seen the Bills do so much with the running backs
1:15:26
Speaker 1: in this second half. But then he's going to release
1:15:29
Speaker 1: with Remandre once Remandre releases. The one thing I don't
1:15:33
Speaker 1: like on this if we notice we've been showing so
1:15:35
Speaker 1: much here talking about matching and you know, man coverage elements.
1:15:39
Speaker 1: This down here, everything down here to the field side. Yeah,
1:15:41
Speaker 1: you know what I'm getting at.
1:15:42
Speaker 2: It's more of just a.
1:15:43
Speaker 1: Spot drop, more of a cover four than it is
1:15:46
Speaker 1: a quarters guys hitting in so spot dropt for those
1:15:49
Speaker 1: who don't know Madden type coverages, where you're getting to
1:15:53
Speaker 1: a spot, you know, like hey, I'm supposed to get
1:15:56
Speaker 1: to you know, eight to ten yards at this spot
1:15:59
Speaker 1: on the field. I get there, I turn around and
1:16:01
Speaker 1: I look to see if anybody's in my zone. More
1:16:03
Speaker 1: you're covering, you're covering a spot, you are dropping to
1:16:07
Speaker 1: a spot. That's why it's spot drop coverage instead of
1:16:09
Speaker 1: you know, matching, where you are matching someone and all
1:16:13
Speaker 1: this guy's come into my zone. I'm treating him like
1:16:15
Speaker 1: man for man. If it's a man match, you'll continue
1:16:18
Speaker 1: to carry him man for man from then on, no
1:16:20
Speaker 1: matter where he goes. If it's his zone match. You're
1:16:22
Speaker 1: playing him man for man while he's in your zone.
1:16:25
Speaker 1: This one was more just spot drop, which I think
1:16:28
Speaker 1: contributes to why Hunter Henry is open. But again it's third, fifth,
1:16:32
Speaker 1: third and fifteen. I get it, play spot drop, get depth,
1:16:35
Speaker 1: keep everything in front of you. Completion Again it doesn't
1:16:39
Speaker 1: matter because Deacon Jones get held, gets help. But now
1:16:41
Speaker 1: we have again another variation again third and fifteen. So
1:16:45
Speaker 1: long down and distance, but we're locking that backside. We're
1:16:49
Speaker 1: playing quarters across the boardom but instead of matching a
1:16:51
Speaker 1: little bit like we've seen earlier, more of a spot
1:16:53
Speaker 1: drop coverage.
1:16:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, you nailed it that. The thing I was upset
1:16:57
Speaker 2: about was this spacing from Karin just kind of not
1:17:01
Speaker 2: really playing in any sort of relation to well, yeah,
1:17:04
Speaker 2: defenders on his team as spot dropping.
1:17:07
Speaker 1: He's just knowing, like, okay, I let you get I
1:17:09
Speaker 1: gotta get with in depth on the curl flat. Let
1:17:12
Speaker 1: me get there and get underneath. There I go, and
1:17:14
Speaker 1: everybody's just getting well, like he's so close to Trey,
1:17:18
Speaker 1: Like yes, I don't know.
1:17:20
Speaker 2: It just seems like a waste of bodies at that point.
1:17:22
Speaker 2: But they had not been a good spot drop team.
1:17:24
Speaker 2: I don't like when they go spot drop.
1:17:26
Speaker 1: It's not great. I hate spot drop in general. Granted,
1:17:28
Speaker 1: you have to have the bodies to be able to
1:17:30
Speaker 1: play match or play man, which I get.
1:17:31
Speaker 2: To your point. It is third and fifteen, and if
1:17:34
Speaker 2: you're cognizant of where you're spot dropping, where the sticks
1:17:37
Speaker 2: are and spacing of you know where the players are
1:17:41
Speaker 2: in front of the sticks, and how to rally and tackle,
1:17:43
Speaker 2: I can work for you.
1:17:45
Speaker 1: But yeah, I was get depth, keep everything in front
1:17:48
Speaker 1: of you, rally and tackle. But especially this team, like
1:17:49
Speaker 1: they've had issues tackling. Yeah, more so against the run
1:17:52
Speaker 1: than the past. But still also to Kamory and the
1:17:55
Speaker 1: chatty says, you missed the play where the defensive line
1:17:58
Speaker 1: pointed the left tackle on the fall starting. Correct, I
1:18:00
Speaker 1: did not show that where they essentially bully, Yeah, the
1:18:03
Speaker 1: left tackle. It's third and ten on this play or
1:18:06
Speaker 1: on the previous play, he false starts. Now we have
1:18:08
Speaker 1: third and fifteen. We get this completion of Hunter Henry,
1:18:11
Speaker 1: but Daikwon Jones does a really good job here. He
1:18:14
Speaker 1: gets held, So it's back to back penalties for the Pats.
1:18:16
Speaker 1: A false start that goes from third to ten to
1:18:18
Speaker 1: third and fifteen now we get that hold, and now
1:18:21
Speaker 1: it has become third and twenty five.
1:18:25
Speaker 2: This is the same coverage as the play before locked
1:18:29
Speaker 2: locked spot.
1:18:31
Speaker 1: Drop all down here that I don't I can see
1:18:35
Speaker 1: how much you don't like it.
1:18:37
Speaker 2: I don't.
1:18:37
Speaker 1: Actually, this is just really fun. I feel like now
1:18:39
Speaker 1: I'm coloring. This is just like really soothing. Plus I
1:18:42
Speaker 1: can always undo it all one thing. But we end
1:18:44
Speaker 1: up getting an interception for Shoudavius White. We have two
1:18:47
Speaker 1: angles of it. This is a really great interception from Trey.
1:18:50
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna let it run what I like from
1:18:55
Speaker 1: him on this is.
1:18:56
Speaker 2: Oh, such a good interception.
1:18:59
Speaker 1: As he's dropped right, he's starting covering his quarter. Hollins
1:19:05
Speaker 1: does a good job stemming like he's gonna work to
1:19:07
Speaker 1: Tray's blind spot. So Trey opens up that way and
1:19:11
Speaker 1: goes to like speed turn or baseball turn with him.
1:19:15
Speaker 1: But then Holland stabs back inside and Trey just turns
1:19:19
Speaker 1: again and he's right there, attaches tracks the ball. I
1:19:25
Speaker 1: don't think he pushes Hollins or does anything we're gonna
1:19:27
Speaker 1: see from the end zone angle. It's just a really
1:19:28
Speaker 1: good interception.
1:19:30
Speaker 2: Yet eyes on the ball the whole time.
1:19:32
Speaker 1: He did eyes on the ball the whole time. You
1:19:35
Speaker 1: can see from this angle like there he's got his
1:19:37
Speaker 1: hands on Hollins. But he's not pushing him. He's not
1:19:39
Speaker 1: impeding him, he's not grabbing him, he's not doing anything
1:19:43
Speaker 1: like that. Hands are just on him. He's tracking the ball.
1:19:46
Speaker 1: And this is a Again, he's not pushing Hollinds. He
1:19:48
Speaker 1: doesn't move him, his hands are on him, he just
1:19:50
Speaker 1: lets go. This is a really good interception. Ooh, that's
1:19:55
Speaker 1: a good Irot. And I like how Collins is upset.
1:19:59
Speaker 1: I Hollins might be one of those guys that you
1:20:02
Speaker 1: like love him when you're on your team, you hate
1:20:03
Speaker 1: him elsewhere.
1:20:04
Speaker 2: I came way from that.
1:20:05
Speaker 1: I came away from this game really hating Mac Collins.
1:20:08
Speaker 1: I'm also really over like I get it. Your your
1:20:11
Speaker 1: barefoot all the time, Like, but it's it's so performative,
1:20:14
Speaker 1: like it's cold and snowying. You had to show up
1:20:16
Speaker 1: in jeans with no shirt and no socks and no hat. No, like,
1:20:19
Speaker 1: I get it.
1:20:20
Speaker 2: Oh my, I get it, Okay, but it's enough. I
1:20:23
Speaker 2: liked it so much when he was on the Bills
1:20:25
Speaker 2: that I just kind of.
1:20:26
Speaker 1: I hate it now I absolutely hate it, and he
1:20:28
Speaker 1: was so demonstrative in this game, like dancing and pointing
1:20:31
Speaker 1: in all these things. And again I understand it. Maybe
1:20:34
Speaker 1: he wanted to stay in Buffalo and he was upset.
1:20:36
Speaker 1: Maybe the Bill's lowballing. Maybe they didn't give Hi an offer.
1:20:38
Speaker 1: Maybe you know, I don't I get it. You're playing
1:20:41
Speaker 1: for a former team, You're juiced up. But I came
1:20:42
Speaker 1: away from this game absolutely hating mac collins. So I
1:20:46
Speaker 1: love that. And I say that as a largely objective person.
1:20:50
Speaker 1: It takes a lot for me to.
1:20:51
Speaker 2: Be like, it's true, you are, this is rare from you.
1:20:54
Speaker 1: Bang nice pick and I love Hollinds again one more time.
1:20:58
Speaker 1: Let's not let's not get sucked into the hate. Like
1:21:00
Speaker 1: where the Sith even though the Sith are better than
1:21:01
Speaker 1: the Jedi is a great interceptionist. Boom and he survives
1:21:05
Speaker 1: the ground. Yeah, let's watch mc collins number thirteen.
1:21:08
Speaker 2: What no, all, come on?
1:21:13
Speaker 3: What long?
1:21:16
Speaker 2: I got shoes on?
1:21:19
Speaker 1: I can't stand him.
1:21:21
Speaker 2: Oh I'm out on him. I'm out on him.
1:21:27
Speaker 1: Uh, it's just even even that, like it's no, I'm
1:21:29
Speaker 1: not gonna rewind it again, but yeah, I'm not.
1:21:32
Speaker 2: This next one nothing really crazy here. This is the
1:21:35
Speaker 2: Traveon Henderson house call. All it is here?
1:21:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, all it is is the backside pursuit. Angles are
1:21:41
Speaker 1: off front side everything, and everyone is really just gummed
1:21:45
Speaker 1: up and Epanessa. It kind of largely falls on Apanessa here,
1:21:49
Speaker 1: but we're gonna.
1:21:50
Speaker 2: See why.
1:21:52
Speaker 1: It falls on Epanessa here and why I I fault him.
1:21:58
Speaker 1: But also watch so he's he plays this so well.
1:22:02
Speaker 1: He's got BCR responsibility. So he's got bootleg counter or
1:22:06
Speaker 1: cutback like reverse. He is watching here in case this
1:22:09
Speaker 1: is a fake toss, may goes this way, he can
1:22:12
Speaker 1: go there. He's waiting for a cutback. There's no reverse
1:22:16
Speaker 1: element here, but he did. He's he's playing for reverse elements,
1:22:19
Speaker 1: so he's got that backside contained in pursuit. He reads this,
1:22:23
Speaker 1: look at him surf technique.
1:22:24
Speaker 2: Here we go squeezing down.
1:22:26
Speaker 1: Eyes are on the ball the whole time. This is
1:22:28
Speaker 1: where things go side. He's he's in perfect position. He
1:22:32
Speaker 1: thinks Travion Henderson is coming here. Yep, he's gonna beat off. Yes,
1:22:36
Speaker 1: right shoulder boom, done and dusted. Travon Henderson instead cuts outside,
1:22:43
Speaker 1: and this causes Epanessa to get caught up in the muck.
1:22:48
Speaker 1: So watch Travion puts his left foot in the ground,
1:22:51
Speaker 1: starts to trying to squeeze in somewhere here at Panessa.
1:22:55
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, now he is out of position
1:22:58
Speaker 1: as Travion Henderson goes into the void and then comes
1:23:01
Speaker 1: out clean. And now all of a sudden, Henry's got
1:23:03
Speaker 1: him stealed. Max is kind of not in a negative way,
1:23:06
Speaker 1: chillin thinking this play is done rightfully so and now
1:23:10
Speaker 1: Henderson's out the gate.
1:23:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they both just flowed with the play
1:23:14
Speaker 2: a little bit too, a lot more so Max than
1:23:17
Speaker 2: than Epinessa, because when you see Epinessa here, like you
1:23:20
Speaker 2: see the cutback lane that he's trying to defend, Yes,
1:23:23
Speaker 2: tight off Dion's right shoulder, and.
1:23:25
Speaker 1: To the point this is kind of here also it's there.
1:23:29
Speaker 1: I don't want to be that guy Walker gets held big.
1:23:33
Speaker 2: Time by Bradbury.
1:23:34
Speaker 1: We're gonna watch it right here, like watch Walker try
1:23:36
Speaker 1: to separate. Yeah, oh I can't, because I.
1:23:38
Speaker 2: Was gonna say I really liked this ret from Dion.
1:23:42
Speaker 2: I really like this ret from Deon. He was so
1:23:45
Speaker 2: ready for that cutback and he I think if if
1:23:48
Speaker 2: Trayveon hit that harder, if he hit the cutback harder
1:23:52
Speaker 2: that hold would have been. Oh that's fair.
1:23:54
Speaker 1: Walker is literally getting held the entire time, like it's
1:23:57
Speaker 1: not even close, but to that point, yeah, and Vanessa
1:24:01
Speaker 1: sees this and he's thinking, Okay, here's where the alley
1:24:05
Speaker 1: is in the lane.
1:24:07
Speaker 2: I'm gonna move right down.
1:24:08
Speaker 1: And then he gets thrown off by Henderson, who tries
1:24:12
Speaker 1: to to Henderson's point, as we're looking here, He's like.
1:24:14
Speaker 2: Okay, that's my alley.
1:24:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me try and he I mean, I'm convinced.
1:24:18
Speaker 1: At this point, he's just like, screw it. Let me
1:24:21
Speaker 1: try and get one yard or two yards. I'm just
1:24:22
Speaker 1: gonna slam it up in there and go and see
1:24:25
Speaker 1: what we can get. And also he sees this coming free,
1:24:29
Speaker 1: so he's like, uh, oh, I don't want to run
1:24:31
Speaker 1: into King Kong, so let me go through. And all
1:24:34
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Panessa, now our man here. He's trying
1:24:39
Speaker 1: to like, oh do I need to play over the top.
1:24:41
Speaker 1: He's kind of caught. And then again CARDI to trademon Henderson.
1:24:44
Speaker 2: He's fast as hell, yep, and he done. That's the thing.
1:24:49
Speaker 2: I actually think he bounced. He was trying to cut
1:24:53
Speaker 2: it back before he bounced it. Outside. You can kind
1:24:55
Speaker 2: of see his momentum is going forward. But like you said,
1:24:58
Speaker 2: he saw the white flash of Dion in front of
1:25:00
Speaker 2: him and he's like, oh, I gotta cut it outside
1:25:02
Speaker 2: and then just hits his O lines butt And that's
1:25:04
Speaker 2: why happened. That is like perfectly.
1:25:06
Speaker 1: This makes me think of one of those like a
1:25:08
Speaker 1: kickoff where the returner like runs into his own blockers
1:25:12
Speaker 1: and because of that, it creates this momentum and leverage
1:25:14
Speaker 1: where he's like, oh, and then now he's out. He's
1:25:17
Speaker 1: out around the corner. He gets up the sideline and
1:25:19
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, are you serious? Yeah, And then you
1:25:24
Speaker 1: want to talk about cold bisham on this one, Kam Moore.
1:25:26
Speaker 1: He asked about it in the chat. I've talked about
1:25:29
Speaker 1: his angles from death. I don't fault him crazily for
1:25:31
Speaker 1: this one, like because.
1:25:33
Speaker 2: Because you see but you see Travion like, but there
1:25:36
Speaker 2: is truly traffic there, Like you can see between Trey
1:25:40
Speaker 2: White and Matt Collins, there's a little bit of traffic.
1:25:42
Speaker 2: He has a decision to make do I go underneath
1:25:45
Speaker 2: the traffic or over the traffic, And when you see
1:25:48
Speaker 2: Traveon kind of like flash out of this He's like, Okay,
1:25:51
Speaker 2: let me just delete as much space as possible. But
1:25:54
Speaker 2: and by doing that, he completely deletes his angle, he
1:25:58
Speaker 2: deletes himself. Yeah yeah, So I mean it's an angle thing.
1:26:02
Speaker 2: That's that's all it is. He had a decision to
1:26:04
Speaker 2: make to flow through that traffic, and he just made
1:26:06
Speaker 2: the wrong decision on it. That's all. It is a
1:26:08
Speaker 2: little bit of holding.
1:26:10
Speaker 1: But again, that's a cool that's a good effort on
1:26:12
Speaker 1: May running down Yeah yah yah blah blah blah that
1:26:14
Speaker 1: but Henderson's really fast, good speed.
1:26:17
Speaker 2: But you didn't like how much the announcers were talking about. No,
1:26:21
Speaker 2: I did not down the field.
1:26:23
Speaker 1: No, I didn't because we had to show it like
1:26:24
Speaker 1: seventy five thousand times. I'm also just out in general
1:26:28
Speaker 1: on you and I were talking about this last night,
1:26:31
Speaker 1: Like I'm I'm just out on like everybody always praising
1:26:35
Speaker 1: quarterbacks for like everything, Like even though.
1:26:37
Speaker 2: We were talking about it last night, it's a problem. Yes,
1:26:40
Speaker 2: it is a problem. We know quarterback is the most
1:26:42
Speaker 2: important position here, Why don't we talk about all the
1:26:44
Speaker 2: other positions?
1:26:45
Speaker 1: Yes, I hate how the MVP is essentially a quarterback award. Now,
1:26:48
Speaker 1: I hate that in this game, the run game did
1:26:51
Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff. Joe Brady was layering things. Yeah,
1:26:54
Speaker 1: and I Josh Allen made some good plays. But people
1:26:57
Speaker 1: coming away from this game like Josh Allen was amazing
1:26:59
Speaker 1: in this game. He was insane, he was good at
1:27:01
Speaker 1: another level. I don't think he was on another level
1:27:04
Speaker 1: at all. And I'm also annoyed with that because this
1:27:06
Speaker 1: is going to create a whole bunch of national hate
1:27:08
Speaker 1: for the Bills, because people are over is starting to
1:27:12
Speaker 1: get yes, and in a cool way, it's like it's
1:27:15
Speaker 1: I respect it, like, but Alan's going to start getting
1:27:19
Speaker 1: the quote unquote like glazing nationally.
1:27:22
Speaker 2: That's going to be a pendulum. It's the pendulum swing. It's,
1:27:25
Speaker 2: oh wow, we need to start putting respect on the Bills.
1:27:28
Speaker 2: Who do we put respect on when the Bills win? Oh,
1:27:30
Speaker 2: let's just give it to those MVP winner, the quarterback. Yes,
1:27:33
Speaker 2: but the game, oh.
1:27:36
Speaker 1: My god, Like he was great game changer. He's getting
1:27:39
Speaker 1: the home stuff.
1:27:39
Speaker 2: And he did change the game. But he changed the
1:27:41
Speaker 2: game the way he changes it just by stepping on
1:27:43
Speaker 2: the field. Because of the threats he presents like.
1:27:46
Speaker 1: They seem like he was like he just pulled the
1:27:49
Speaker 1: Bills from the depths of hell, all by himself and
1:27:52
Speaker 1: threw for three.
1:27:55
Speaker 2: This was a team win in the most team win aspect.
1:27:58
Speaker 2: He did what he had to do when he had
1:28:00
Speaker 2: to do it. But it wasn't even comparable to what
1:28:03
Speaker 2: he did last week against the Bengals. And even then
1:28:05
Speaker 2: I thought there was a little bit of glazing there.
1:28:08
Speaker 2: There is a thousand percent. Yeah.
1:28:09
Speaker 1: Now so I'm just out on not QB discourse, but
1:28:12
Speaker 1: I just the yeah, I get it, the over emphasis
1:28:14
Speaker 1: of the employees and everything is oh good call from
1:28:17
Speaker 1: SESSPINARV says, this wasn't the Rams game. Yeah, it's not
1:28:19
Speaker 1: like Allen when he.
1:28:20
Speaker 2: Was falling against the Rams. Get yep. Yeah.
1:28:24
Speaker 1: I just feel like, and I'm not a raw stats guy,
1:28:26
Speaker 1: but like a quarterback threw for one hundred and ninety
1:28:29
Speaker 1: three yards and you're gonna tell me that he like
1:28:31
Speaker 1: put everybody in his ue haul or put him in
1:28:33
Speaker 1: his backpack and carried him victory, Like come on, like,
1:28:36
Speaker 1: and I just and that's not just an Alen thing.
1:28:38
Speaker 1: That's everybody. I hate when everybody does that for quarterbacks.
1:28:42
Speaker 2: Oh the team one quarterback must have played a great game.
1:28:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, It's just that's why I was so pumped last
1:28:48
Speaker 1: year for the same thing, almost like the same thing
1:28:49
Speaker 1: for the Heisman. I was so happy last year. It
1:28:51
Speaker 1: was like, whoa, it's gonna be either Travis Hunter or
1:28:53
Speaker 1: Ashton Genty.
1:28:54
Speaker 2: That's sweet.
1:28:55
Speaker 1: Like no quarterback award instead, it's always just feels like
1:28:58
Speaker 1: it's all to the quarterbacks. And I get it's a
1:29:00
Speaker 1: quarterback league and the franchise, I get it all that stuff,
1:29:04
Speaker 1: but I just maybe it's because I'm a defense first guy.
1:29:06
Speaker 2: No, that's definitely what it is, but it's still not
1:29:10
Speaker 2: It's bas Yeah, they were oh my god, look at
1:29:13
Speaker 2: him postle downfield. Look at this block. Oh my god.
1:29:17
Speaker 2: You don't see this from a quarterback every day. What
1:29:20
Speaker 2: he really wants it? That's the ar.
1:29:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, kick rocks, it's not about it. Next play we
1:29:28
Speaker 1: got here. So the Bills have gone down. They have answered.
1:29:31
Speaker 1: It is now thirty five, thirty one bills. We're gonna
1:29:35
Speaker 1: get a run a run play here for the Patriots.
1:29:38
Speaker 1: What what are we going to do with ourselves that
1:29:43
Speaker 1: we have gotten a run play from the Patriots here. Uh,
1:29:46
Speaker 1: they're gonna run an ISO five yard game for the
1:29:50
Speaker 1: Patriots here. I'm just gonna kind of let this run.
1:29:56
Speaker 1: Larry Okunjobey actually does a good job splitting the double team.
1:30:00
Speaker 1: This is kind of your standard stereotypical bills type of
1:30:03
Speaker 1: front here four down over front, which means so on
1:30:08
Speaker 1: like the backside or the non strength of the play,
1:30:11
Speaker 1: you're gonna get yourself a one tech.
1:30:13
Speaker 2: Here to the.
1:30:15
Speaker 1: Strength side, the play strength side, you're gonna get yourself
1:30:17
Speaker 1: a three tech, which is mister Larry Owen Jobi. For
1:30:20
Speaker 1: those who don't know, you're numbering everything, I'll just number
1:30:24
Speaker 1: everything now. So head up on the center is a zero.
1:30:26
Speaker 1: Head up on the guard is a two. Head up
1:30:29
Speaker 1: on the tackle is a four. I'm not gonna get
1:30:31
Speaker 1: into the tight ends because people use different things like
1:30:33
Speaker 1: what's a six, what's a seven? Some like what's a
1:30:36
Speaker 1: five of the nine? Some people use eight, all these
1:30:38
Speaker 1: like crazy things. But so you've got a zero, a two,
1:30:42
Speaker 1: and a four. And then if we go through on everything,
1:30:45
Speaker 1: so zero one, two, I two, three, four, I four five,
1:30:54
Speaker 1: and then this for me is a six. This is
1:30:57
Speaker 1: a seven. And then this is a night which makes
1:31:00
Speaker 1: no sense.
1:31:01
Speaker 2: I'm with you, it makes no sense, but I am
1:31:03
Speaker 2: in lockstep.
1:31:04
Speaker 1: But to each there on and then iOS, all right,
1:31:09
Speaker 1: I really is one of those like how did we
1:31:11
Speaker 1: get here? I would love to do things things like that,
1:31:15
Speaker 1: like I could create something game like, oh, the next
1:31:16
Speaker 1: one must be like seven, right, I'm like nope, the
1:31:18
Speaker 1: next one is for yeah you're wrong, yeah, Like but
1:31:21
Speaker 1: you just went from six to fourteen and I'm like, correct,
1:31:23
Speaker 1: So what happened to seven through thirteen? Don't worry about it.
1:31:27
Speaker 1: They're not there.
1:31:28
Speaker 2: You don't count that way, idiot? What are you stupid?
1:31:32
Speaker 1: So we get the ISO run here something, we're just
1:31:34
Speaker 1: isolating the backer for a full back block or get
1:31:38
Speaker 1: a double team here and good job in Larry Ogunjobi fights.
1:31:40
Speaker 2: Through Gett and Skinny fighting through yep.
1:31:43
Speaker 1: My thought on this one is Milano and Shack are
1:31:47
Speaker 1: a little late to their fit. My thought is May's Drake.
1:31:51
Speaker 1: May's action on this mimics a lot of what they
1:31:55
Speaker 1: do from a play action standpoint.
1:31:56
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, and they've only ran the ball
1:31:58
Speaker 2: twice this half, like.
1:32:00
Speaker 1: So I don't know if they're thinking like, here comes
1:32:02
Speaker 1: play action, we're seeing the motion, or we're thinking that's
1:32:05
Speaker 1: what it's gonna because they've only to your point, they've
1:32:07
Speaker 1: only run it twice.
1:32:08
Speaker 2: It's going to be a pass or they're reading this
1:32:10
Speaker 2: whatever it is.
1:32:11
Speaker 1: But either way, Milana and Shack don't really commit here,
1:32:14
Speaker 1: which makes Larry's splitting kind of in vain. Yeah, well, yeah,
1:32:21
Speaker 1: it's helpful here to make it balance. But then there's
1:32:24
Speaker 1: it's late here because both guys are Now you've got
1:32:28
Speaker 1: three guys who are all kind of sucked up inside.
1:32:32
Speaker 1: But Milana will see it, He'll take on westover. Rousseau
1:32:36
Speaker 1: gets held, but no one cares about that unless you're
1:32:39
Speaker 1: Mike Rabel again, still being held. This one I think
1:32:43
Speaker 1: should have been called, but again to each their own,
1:32:46
Speaker 1: still being held to each their own. Shack comes through
1:32:53
Speaker 1: again with all do like all things considered decently to
1:32:57
Speaker 1: hold this thing to five yards?
1:32:59
Speaker 2: I think, I mean, this play was made by Ogunjoby
1:33:02
Speaker 2: and Rousseau. You really see the length of Rousseau showing
1:33:06
Speaker 2: itself in the run game. I mean, I think we'd
1:33:08
Speaker 2: all like to see it show itself a little bit
1:33:10
Speaker 2: more against the past. But yeah, I mean, this is
1:33:13
Speaker 2: this is great impact. This is how you minimize mistakes
1:33:17
Speaker 2: from your second level. And yeah, this very well could
1:33:19
Speaker 2: have been an eight yard game, could have been a
1:33:21
Speaker 2: ten yard game, but you know, mitigated to five because
1:33:24
Speaker 2: of Ogunjobi a hold in Rousseau.
1:33:28
Speaker 1: Even give some credit to uh Max Harrison here who
1:33:32
Speaker 1: sees this and is like, you know what, let me
1:33:34
Speaker 1: make sure I stay outside and be a sports player
1:33:36
Speaker 1: and keep this thing, keep this alli in here where
1:33:40
Speaker 1: I've got my safety and I've got all this back,
1:33:43
Speaker 1: I've got all this pursuit coming there. So shout out
1:33:44
Speaker 1: to Harrison for being a little bit of a force here.
1:33:46
Speaker 1: And yeah we get a nice five yard gain for
1:33:50
Speaker 1: the Patriots on this drive. Now, next play, second and five,
1:33:57
Speaker 1: what do you think the Patriots should do? I would say,
1:33:59
Speaker 1: you know, it's second and five, let's run the ball. Nope, Nope,
1:34:03
Speaker 1: We're gonna pass the ball, and you're gonna pay for
1:34:05
Speaker 1: it because you're gonna get sacked. You know, when you
1:34:07
Speaker 1: don't get sacked when you run the ball, nothing nothing
1:34:10
Speaker 1: bad happens when you run the football. This next play here,
1:34:15
Speaker 1: on this second and five with the Bills up thirty
1:34:16
Speaker 1: five to thirty one, is the second Matt Mlano sacked.
1:34:19
Speaker 2: This one.
1:34:19
Speaker 1: For me, the highlight really is just Milano being relentless.
1:34:22
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
1:34:23
Speaker 1: This effort as he works through the running back also
1:34:25
Speaker 1: works through the left guard who's given some help a
1:34:28
Speaker 1: bit to the running back. Now this one coverage standpoint
1:34:33
Speaker 1: is for me. This one is Cover six, which is
1:34:39
Speaker 1: essentially the sister or brother however you want to talk
1:34:41
Speaker 1: about it of Cover eight, except now in Cover six
1:34:45
Speaker 1: we've got quarters to the passing strength and we've got
1:34:50
Speaker 1: cover two to the non passing strength. Again, remember Cover
1:34:55
Speaker 1: eight is cover two to the passing strength. Cover six
1:34:58
Speaker 1: is quarters two the passes passing strength. Now what's also
1:35:02
Speaker 1: nice with this is, uh, we get essentially like a
1:35:05
Speaker 1: Cover six simular creeper pressure here, Milonald's gonna rush, Bosa
1:35:09
Speaker 1: is gonna drop, So a nice way to get some
1:35:11
Speaker 1: pressure drop a non traditional coverage guy, bring a non
1:35:17
Speaker 1: traditional rusher. I love simulated and creepers. I think they're
1:35:20
Speaker 1: a must in today's NFL. I honestly think the Bill
1:35:22
Speaker 1: should do it more. But to each their own. I've
1:35:26
Speaker 1: said that a lot in this episode. Yeah, and then
1:35:30
Speaker 1: this is nice coverage and you said it earlier, coverage
1:35:32
Speaker 1: and rush. I think this is the best example of
1:35:34
Speaker 1: coverage and rush working together because May exhausts his progressions
1:35:39
Speaker 1: and as he yep and as he gets to the
1:35:41
Speaker 1: backside dig which is open as he gets to it,
1:35:45
Speaker 1: he gets sacked by Matt Malonalds. So let's watch and
1:35:47
Speaker 1: we go from here. I would set it up and
1:35:50
Speaker 1: then Kendall feel free to take it away again. There's
1:35:52
Speaker 1: Hairston re route. Here comes Bishop going out here. Why
1:35:56
Speaker 1: because we've got cover two to the non passing strength,
1:36:01
Speaker 1: We've got quarters to the passing strength. Why because we're
1:36:05
Speaker 1: in cover six Milano fighting through. May thinks about hitting it,
1:36:11
Speaker 1: but he can't because Shack, Oh what do I mean
1:36:14
Speaker 1: to click there?
1:36:15
Speaker 2: Shaq? What's really nice? Watch Shack?
1:36:17
Speaker 1: He comes up, creates a collision point with the running back.
1:36:20
Speaker 2: We're out.
1:36:20
Speaker 1: The running back with the tight end takes that away.
1:36:23
Speaker 1: May wants to go to Booty or Williams, I think,
1:36:26
Speaker 1: and yeah, Williams and camped.
1:36:28
Speaker 2: It felt like he really wanted to go to Henry initially,
1:36:31
Speaker 2: and then kind of looked off of it, looked to
1:36:33
Speaker 2: the field side. Nothing was good on the field side
1:36:36
Speaker 2: of the play, and then I think at the end
1:36:39
Speaker 2: of the day he was probably hoping that Kyle Williams
1:36:42
Speaker 2: was gonna throttle this one down and just go off
1:36:45
Speaker 2: script a little bit, because here's look at how much
1:36:47
Speaker 2: space he has If he just throttles down right there.
1:36:49
Speaker 2: He doesn't have to run the dig he can just
1:36:51
Speaker 2: sit there. May May is waiting for him to show
1:36:54
Speaker 2: him any sort of body language just and May starts
1:36:56
Speaker 2: what I like about this one?
1:36:58
Speaker 1: May starts with everything, Yeah, everything right, he just doesn't
1:37:02
Speaker 1: I'll go to the sideline real quick, like he he
1:37:05
Speaker 1: doesn't like like he goes through his progressions. You can
1:37:07
Speaker 1: still go from okay one, No. Two, No Three to
1:37:13
Speaker 1: the over the wall route.
1:37:15
Speaker 2: No. Then he finds the opening. But once again, this
1:37:18
Speaker 2: is a rookie wide receiver, Like, this is a rookie who, yeah,
1:37:21
Speaker 2: has shown some promise, but you know, with some more experience,
1:37:25
Speaker 2: maybe he learns, Okay, we don't need to run exactly
1:37:27
Speaker 2: the route on the play sheet. We can throttle this
1:37:30
Speaker 2: down find. I wonder how much they do that in
1:37:32
Speaker 2: the offense and how much freedom there is for that.
1:37:33
Speaker 2: I haven't watched this great great question for a McDaniel's offense, right, yeah, yeah,
1:37:40
Speaker 2: it's a good point or something structure to which makes
1:37:42
Speaker 2: you think like he and there is an ability to
1:37:45
Speaker 2: do that, like in the ever changing landscape of the NFL,
1:37:48
Speaker 2: wouldn't you think that there's more of an ability to
1:37:51
Speaker 2: be flexible. I don't know. In the second half, I
1:37:56
Speaker 2: was gonna say defense, well played defense. They're doing so
1:38:01
Speaker 2: much to take everything away from you and this is
1:38:05
Speaker 2: not a top tier defense. But like we've taken away
1:38:08
Speaker 2: option one, option two, option three. You get to option
1:38:10
Speaker 2: four and it's like, but you know what, even within that,
1:38:14
Speaker 2: this isn't He gets through his progressions quickly, like he
1:38:18
Speaker 2: exhausts everything one and two aren't there?
1:38:20
Speaker 1: He great here, He's this is really just Milano, yes,
1:38:26
Speaker 1: making a great play.
1:38:28
Speaker 2: Yes in getting it did would have been open if
1:38:31
Speaker 2: you pressure didn't get there.
1:38:32
Speaker 1: And Milano puts his shoulder down, goes through Henderson and
1:38:35
Speaker 1: this is where he kind of gets like almost like
1:38:37
Speaker 1: a double from the left guard.
1:38:38
Speaker 2: He just keeps.
1:38:39
Speaker 1: Going like he's a zombie in Resident Evil and just
1:38:42
Speaker 1: keeps making his way through. May's ready to pull the trigger.
1:38:45
Speaker 1: He just needs this to clear, which it probably will.
1:38:48
Speaker 1: He can put this ball over, don't. I don't know.
1:38:50
Speaker 1: Maybe Bosa gets in the window here, but Milano gets
1:38:54
Speaker 1: him off of that, like so technically, like it's not.
1:38:57
Speaker 2: A horrible it's just the bills. The bills are better
1:38:59
Speaker 2: on it. Yeah, I guess I'm just speaking from a no,
1:39:03
Speaker 2: I agree with you. From a facing perspective, it's just
1:39:06
Speaker 2: hard to see Williams just run through all of that
1:39:09
Speaker 2: grass and be like knowing, like even right there, like
1:39:14
Speaker 2: May is just waiting for him. You can see him
1:39:16
Speaker 2: just eyeing him down like this dig is going to
1:39:18
Speaker 2: be open, but he's open right now. Yeah, that's fair.
1:39:22
Speaker 2: It's tough, but yeah, this is you're right, Russian coverage
1:39:26
Speaker 2: like this probably is the best example from what we've
1:39:28
Speaker 2: shown so far and probably from all of it. Yeah,
1:39:31
Speaker 2: like that, it's nice. Now it's third and twelve. I
1:39:34
Speaker 2: get it.
1:39:34
Speaker 1: You can't run the ball.
1:39:37
Speaker 2: You're finally giving him a bone.
1:39:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't care. That's fine. You get a pass
1:39:40
Speaker 1: on this one. Uh, third and twelve again, thirty five
1:39:43
Speaker 1: thirty one bills. Here in the fourth quarter, the Bills
1:39:45
Speaker 1: are showing a one two, three, four five six man
1:39:51
Speaker 1: pressure and then what does it look like? We've got
1:39:53
Speaker 1: everywhere else man coverage and coverage.
1:39:57
Speaker 2: Remember this is the play right after a sack.
1:39:59
Speaker 1: That's right, this is the play right after the sack. Essentially,
1:40:03
Speaker 1: what we get here is odd mirror and then we
1:40:05
Speaker 1: get two man behind it, which means we got our
1:40:08
Speaker 1: two deep safeties and then we've got man coverage underneath.
1:40:12
Speaker 1: What I like about this one, we're gonna watch Shack
1:40:15
Speaker 1: Thompson because we're in Pony, so we've got two true
1:40:18
Speaker 1: running backs. Shack Thompson is going to take Devy Hender
1:40:22
Speaker 1: Crayon Anderson Milano. As we've seen so much, he's going
1:40:26
Speaker 1: to attack Romandre Stevenson and then attached to him. But
1:40:31
Speaker 1: what's interesting about this one is he essentially just keeps
1:40:33
Speaker 1: his eyes on Drake May, almost like he's spying. So
1:40:37
Speaker 1: he's just almost like feeling Remandre blocking him, but eyeing May.
1:40:41
Speaker 1: So you get a little bit a two for one.
1:40:45
Speaker 1: And then I want to highlight some stuff with aj
1:40:47
Speaker 1: Panessa on the end zone angle. But again, essentially what
1:40:49
Speaker 1: we get here it's almost essentially like odd mirror with
1:40:53
Speaker 1: two man behind it. I say odd mirror because on
1:40:58
Speaker 1: a man here, on a man here, one, two, three
1:41:02
Speaker 1: on the rush and if you notice here's aj Panessa
1:41:06
Speaker 1: number fifty seven, why is he just standing there? That's
1:41:09
Speaker 1: because aj Panessa engages his man. But then so yeah,
1:41:13
Speaker 1: that's right, he falls off almost like he is the spy.
1:41:17
Speaker 1: We were gonna look at that from the end zone angle.
1:41:18
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, here essentially two
1:41:21
Speaker 1: men across the board on the back and from a
1:41:22
Speaker 1: coverage standpoint, this is where Drake May decides to go.
1:41:26
Speaker 2: It's open. May misses the throw, and this is where
1:41:30
Speaker 2: I think, like showing that pressure front on a play
1:41:34
Speaker 2: right after a sack just disrupted the process. I think
1:41:37
Speaker 2: there's just a part of this that just it affected
1:41:39
Speaker 2: the outcome of the throw. Like, this is uncharacteristic from
1:41:42
Speaker 2: Drake May. He's been one of the most accurate passers
1:41:46
Speaker 2: in the NFL this year. I think he has the
1:41:47
Speaker 2: highest completion percentage, might be I.
1:41:49
Speaker 1: Think it's like seventy something percent I think coming. Yeah, so,
1:41:51
Speaker 1: like this is un characteristic to his credit to like
1:41:54
Speaker 1: in one please Devil's Advocate like Hunter Henry could have
1:41:56
Speaker 1: caught this pass, but it's.
1:41:57
Speaker 2: For sure it's catchable. But yeah, exactly, it's high end
1:42:00
Speaker 2: inside Like he he could have caught it, but I
1:42:03
Speaker 2: think he was hoping that it would be more to
1:42:06
Speaker 2: the outside.
1:42:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is understandable because he went like he sets
1:42:11
Speaker 1: this up inside breaks a little bit of a push off,
1:42:14
Speaker 1: but a savvy one.
1:42:15
Speaker 2: The ball should be here, Yeah, at the least.
1:42:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, at the least, or even if it's on him,
1:42:23
Speaker 1: like it pins it on him. Okay, fine, Instead it's
1:42:25
Speaker 1: behind and high and he's got to go up and
1:42:27
Speaker 1: get it, but it goes right through his hands.
1:42:29
Speaker 2: Yep, what I like that. That's why I wanted to
1:42:32
Speaker 2: highlight the pressure look after the sack, good call.
1:42:37
Speaker 1: I like that. And then yeah, so here's aj A Panessa.
1:42:44
Speaker 1: We've got this double mug. Look, Pats are into protect it,
1:42:48
Speaker 1: but again we're gonna get somebody. Like it looks like pressure,
1:42:52
Speaker 1: but it's really not. It's just it's not even really
1:42:54
Speaker 1: a four man rush. It's a three because my watch
1:42:56
Speaker 1: Milano and watch at Panessa. Milano engage is Remandre and
1:43:01
Speaker 1: then watch him just kind of chill.
1:43:03
Speaker 2: Look at him.
1:43:04
Speaker 1: He's almost like he's two gapping, like playing the run
1:43:06
Speaker 1: like he's peeking. Okay, what's he doing?
1:43:08
Speaker 2: What's he doing?
1:43:09
Speaker 1: Okay, let me mimic, Let me mimic. And then Epanessa
1:43:13
Speaker 1: engages that left guard and he drops out, just kind
1:43:18
Speaker 1: of watching.
1:43:20
Speaker 2: So I like that.
1:43:22
Speaker 1: Now first to ten, this is where the clock is
1:43:25
Speaker 1: starting to get to be an issue. So I can
1:43:28
Speaker 1: understand you got to pass the ball. But here we
1:43:29
Speaker 1: go we have another pass from the Patriots, shock.
1:43:34
Speaker 2: First and ten thirty five thirty one.
1:43:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, this I think is like two minutes eighteen seconds
1:43:38
Speaker 1: roughly on the clock. Here Pats are trying to get
1:43:40
Speaker 1: up into some kind of hurry up to a degree
1:43:42
Speaker 1: because they need to score a touchdown Cover eight again
1:43:46
Speaker 1: from the Bills. For those of you playing at home,
1:43:49
Speaker 1: that means we are going to get cover two to
1:43:51
Speaker 1: the passing strength, and we're going to get quarters to
1:43:55
Speaker 1: the backside. Also, if you notice, kind of in lockstep right,
1:44:00
Speaker 1: most of the time, Hairston has kind of been to
1:44:05
Speaker 1: like one side of the field. But now because we're
1:44:08
Speaker 1: locking up here, Harston is up here now, so we're
1:44:12
Speaker 1: playing cover two to this side because here's the passing strength.
1:44:16
Speaker 1: Here's Trey being that cloud corner to that cover two side.
1:44:20
Speaker 1: We're using Max Harston as that you know, lock the
1:44:23
Speaker 1: backside meg Man everywhere he goes corner, which I think
1:44:28
Speaker 1: is something interesting to note that they're using him for that.
1:44:35
Speaker 1: And so we'll let us play run. Here we go
1:44:38
Speaker 1: so much locked locked cover two. Here we go, let's
1:44:45
Speaker 1: reroute and then we're gonna hinge deep have safety over here.
1:44:51
Speaker 2: Why because we're playing core. We're playing cover two to
1:44:53
Speaker 2: the field.
1:44:54
Speaker 1: We gonna end up getting a completion of mac Collins.
1:44:56
Speaker 1: The throw is a little off kilter from May. Holland's
1:45:00
Speaker 1: makes a good adjustment, shakes Terran for a bit. Come up.
1:45:07
Speaker 2: I think the Bills got lucky here. I do think, well,
1:45:11
Speaker 2: I shouldn't say they got lucky here. They got lucky
1:45:13
Speaker 2: on the outcome of this play. Specifically, I think May
1:45:17
Speaker 2: and Holland's were on the wrong page here because May
1:45:20
Speaker 2: was throwing him away from coverage, and I think Holland's
1:45:22
Speaker 2: kind of sat down a little too close to where
1:45:25
Speaker 2: Tarran was defending. Oh that's fair. See Trey kind of
1:45:29
Speaker 2: bails off him, kind of sinks a little bit too deep,
1:45:33
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of green grass behind him if
1:45:35
Speaker 2: he kind of sits close to that twenty yard line. Yeah,
1:45:39
Speaker 2: and he just kind of creeps a little too close
1:45:40
Speaker 2: to Terran, gets too close to Honestly, his otherwise other
1:45:44
Speaker 2: pass catching option hunter Henry So I think was trying
1:45:47
Speaker 2: to for a lot of guys good on shack there.
1:45:53
Speaker 2: He he caught digs at the right moment and took
1:45:56
Speaker 2: away that space.
1:45:57
Speaker 1: He does he's eyeing here watching him turn get a field,
1:46:03
Speaker 1: get depth. Also, Bishop is making a bee line that's
1:46:06
Speaker 1: kind of post throw, so not necessarily from a red perspective. Yeah,
1:46:10
Speaker 1: we have the completion five bear game. Now we're gonna
1:46:15
Speaker 1: get second and five two camera angles on this one.
1:46:18
Speaker 2: This one is one of my favorite ones. We're gonna
1:46:20
Speaker 2: get a non traditional was gonna be you know me? Uh?
1:46:24
Speaker 1: This is a non traditional Tampa from the Buffalo Bill.
1:46:29
Speaker 1: So non traditional Tampa just means we're playing Tampa two coverage,
1:46:32
Speaker 1: but we have some guys in different spots than we
1:46:35
Speaker 1: normally get.
1:46:35
Speaker 2: So if we're.
1:46:36
Speaker 1: Playing we're playing regular Tampa two coverage, get split field here,
1:46:41
Speaker 1: split field here, hoole runner here, hook the curl here,
1:46:45
Speaker 1: and then we get a cloud player here, right, That's
1:46:47
Speaker 1: what everybody would be. But what we're gonna get on
1:46:50
Speaker 1: this one is Trey's gonna drop is the DP half player.
1:46:54
Speaker 1: Taron Johnson is going to go to the flat as
1:46:56
Speaker 1: the cloud player, and Jordan Poyer is going to come
1:46:59
Speaker 1: down here as the hook curl defender. I love non
1:47:03
Speaker 1: traditional Tampa's. They are fantastic. Shack is still gonna be
1:47:06
Speaker 1: the guy running the pole. That's not gonna change there.
1:47:10
Speaker 2: I love this.
1:47:11
Speaker 1: I love, you know, Tampa two invert or Tampa two robber,
1:47:13
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff.
1:47:15
Speaker 2: So I like that.
1:47:15
Speaker 1: On the back end again, another coverage variation that we've seen,
1:47:18
Speaker 1: adding another thing to the mix that we've seen in
1:47:21
Speaker 1: this second half here, which is nice. And then you're
1:47:23
Speaker 1: gonna get some good stuff up front. You're gonna get
1:47:26
Speaker 1: Joey Bosa come around from the edge to the field.
1:47:28
Speaker 1: He's gonna flush, Drake May grow a really strong close
1:47:32
Speaker 1: and chase down of May. And also Max Harston in
1:47:35
Speaker 1: support playing from kind of a soft squats not even
1:47:39
Speaker 1: kind of actually a soft squat here at the bottom
1:47:42
Speaker 1: of screen.
1:47:44
Speaker 2: I really like on this play specifically, I guess one
1:47:48
Speaker 2: putting Poyer in a spot in the hook curl. I
1:47:50
Speaker 2: do think at this point in his career it's kind
1:47:52
Speaker 2: of like a nice spot to put him. Coverage wise,
1:47:54
Speaker 2: it's kind of just a strength at this point. But
1:47:58
Speaker 2: then on top of that, like everything is bottled up.
1:48:01
Speaker 2: I think every route on this play is bottled up
1:48:05
Speaker 2: or breaking towards coverage. I guess except for Stevenson, Like
1:48:09
Speaker 2: Stevenson is the only one who's not breaking towards coverage,
1:48:12
Speaker 2: and he's just a checkdown option, and I don't think
1:48:16
Speaker 2: May wants to go there. And then on top of that,
1:48:19
Speaker 2: I think he sees there's an obvious lane that opens
1:48:22
Speaker 2: him Drake May as Rousseau kind of. I can't tell
1:48:24
Speaker 2: if he was intending to loop around day Quon here
1:48:29
Speaker 2: and bumped into him, or if it was a fake stunt,
1:48:33
Speaker 2: but something happens here could just be the momentum right
1:48:37
Speaker 2: there from the chip.
1:48:38
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I think if you look at
1:48:40
Speaker 1: day Quon, that's a great call. Day Kuon is looking
1:48:44
Speaker 1: to run a game here. Yeah, I think he sees
1:48:47
Speaker 1: he sees group kind of get knocked off kilter or
1:48:50
Speaker 1: to your point, he's already kind of starting that before
1:48:53
Speaker 1: the chip, So maybe it was a I couldn't tell.
1:48:56
Speaker 2: What the intention was, but the outcome was that there
1:48:59
Speaker 2: was an open rushed lane for him. But then great
1:49:02
Speaker 2: on groot to recover, disengage with length as he does,
1:49:06
Speaker 2: and then pursuit and really mitigate the game.
1:49:10
Speaker 1: He really this is where like the long leg show up,
1:49:12
Speaker 1: he closes this thing down in a friggin hurry. Yeah,
1:49:16
Speaker 1: and we'll watching the end zone angle here. Let's watch
1:49:18
Speaker 1: Dae Kwon's eyes, you know, almost like, okay, here we go,
1:49:22
Speaker 1: let's run this game.
1:49:24
Speaker 2: Uh oh another hands to the face on group. This
1:49:26
Speaker 2: is this is the big one for me.
1:49:28
Speaker 1: This is a blatant hands of the face low right,
1:49:32
Speaker 1: come on right there and he and he keeps it
1:49:34
Speaker 1: on there for a minute. Remandre pops him, knocks him
1:49:38
Speaker 1: off kilter. Now they're both in the same thing. Bosa
1:49:41
Speaker 1: ripping through. He's the one who flushes Meg. Yeah, watch group.
1:49:45
Speaker 1: I'm played in real time.
1:49:46
Speaker 2: Watch group.
1:49:46
Speaker 1: Close this thing down.
1:49:51
Speaker 2: Delly played safety, you can.
1:49:54
Speaker 1: We didn't talk about that enough. We talked about the
1:49:56
Speaker 1: quarterback who ran fifty yards downfield over and over again times,
1:49:59
Speaker 1: so we didn't talk about defensive end who ran down
1:50:01
Speaker 1: the quarterback.
1:50:02
Speaker 2: I know I was gonna say. MGS told us that
1:50:04
Speaker 2: Drake may ran twenty miles per hour on that block.
1:50:06
Speaker 2: But what about Rousseau? Right their top speeds. They build
1:50:09
Speaker 2: a freaking statue for him. Got a quarterback, quarterback, quarterback wins.
1:50:14
Speaker 2: Look at this quarterback, this quarterback, quarterback, quarterback, quarterback.
1:50:18
Speaker 1: There's other positions. Third and five, Yeah, that's fair. Third
1:50:24
Speaker 1: and five here, second last play of the game for
1:50:26
Speaker 1: the Patriots, play eighteen that we're going through. We got
1:50:28
Speaker 1: this one and one more after it, but the seventeenth
1:50:30
Speaker 1: official play. On this one, we are going to get
1:50:33
Speaker 1: a simulated pressure from the bills, essentially a quarters simulated pressure.
1:50:40
Speaker 1: Max Harriston shock is in meg which is man everywhere
1:50:44
Speaker 1: he goes on Kaishan Boodie. We're going to be matching
1:50:49
Speaker 1: to the field side. We are going to get Matt
1:50:51
Speaker 1: Mlano who rushes. We're going to get aj A Panessa
1:50:54
Speaker 1: who falls off. Now we're gonna take a peak at
1:50:58
Speaker 1: the end zone angle because I want to show the
1:50:59
Speaker 1: community cation between Milano, Epanessa and Shaq Thompson because I
1:51:04
Speaker 1: thought that was very interesting. But yeah, we get a
1:51:07
Speaker 1: quarter sim pressure here. Here we go good coverage. May's
1:51:14
Speaker 1: trying to throw it up to the Travon Henderson and
1:51:16
Speaker 1: he just got nothing. So again we got man locked
1:51:19
Speaker 1: in man with Hairston and Booty at the bottom of
1:51:22
Speaker 1: the screen matching this thing up top. So Tarn sees
1:51:27
Speaker 1: the running back coming out. He's going to the flat,
1:51:29
Speaker 1: so he's gonna kick this man inside. The man that
1:51:32
Speaker 1: he kicks inside right here essentially becomes the new number
1:51:36
Speaker 1: three right now it's one two three. But because he
1:51:40
Speaker 1: breaks in and he goes this way, the running back
1:51:43
Speaker 1: becomes the two, and then the two right here becomes
1:51:46
Speaker 1: the three. So that means when Tarren engages and reroutes
1:51:50
Speaker 1: him a little bit, Shack now becomes responsible for him.
1:51:54
Speaker 1: He matches him just really nice. Again, there's not a
1:51:56
Speaker 1: ton of routes here, but a nice little pass off.
1:51:59
Speaker 1: How they do everything. You see tray up here late
1:52:02
Speaker 1: into the one outside watch everybody just cover cover, cover
1:52:07
Speaker 1: cover now the one help.
1:52:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is probably the one play in the second
1:52:13
Speaker 2: half where Harriston didn't plaster to his man body. Body
1:52:19
Speaker 2: is open.
1:52:19
Speaker 1: He runs that dig, but May's eyes do not even
1:52:23
Speaker 1: register there. They don't get there. It's open, it's there.
1:52:27
Speaker 1: It's a first down.
1:52:29
Speaker 2: And this is why changing your fronts, changing your pressure
1:52:32
Speaker 2: looks can help, because May just gets stuck on Henderson
1:52:36
Speaker 2: and he's hoping. Henderson kind of turns that thing up
1:52:40
Speaker 2: field and Henderson just breaks it off to the sideline
1:52:43
Speaker 2: and they're just on different pages. But yeah, he missed.
1:52:46
Speaker 2: He missed Boody. He was wide open on the dig.
1:52:48
Speaker 2: He had a lot of separation at the top of
1:52:50
Speaker 2: the route, and he just missed him because he got
1:52:51
Speaker 2: stuck on his guy. Probably I'm guessing the educated guess
1:52:56
Speaker 2: the internal clock. He just felt like there's something exotic
1:52:59
Speaker 2: happening with this front. I don't know if there's four.
1:53:01
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's five coming. I'm gonna get
1:53:04
Speaker 2: it out of my hand. I got to make a
1:53:06
Speaker 2: play here. This one.
1:53:07
Speaker 1: Very just felt like he was chucking it up, to
1:53:09
Speaker 1: chuck it up, like he was just like, screw it,
1:53:11
Speaker 1: let's get the fourth down because where on where like
1:53:13
Speaker 1: where Henderson is or maybe miscommedy to me.
1:53:17
Speaker 2: Right there, it felt like he, wait, does May have
1:53:21
Speaker 2: the ball in his hand? I can't tell. They just
1:53:22
Speaker 2: threw it like May just go through it prior to
1:53:25
Speaker 2: the May trigger, Because there's a point prior to the
1:53:28
Speaker 2: May trigger where I think Henderson looks back to May.
1:53:33
Speaker 2: And at this point right there, I think May thinks
1:53:36
Speaker 2: he's gonna beat him with speed, Like we know Henderson's fast.
1:53:39
Speaker 2: Just beat him with speed, because.
1:53:40
Speaker 1: You can where May puts it, like May puts this
1:53:43
Speaker 1: really upfield.
1:53:44
Speaker 2: And once he triggers, Henderson settles towards the sideline and
1:53:48
Speaker 2: they're just I think it's a miscommunication thinger. I think
1:53:50
Speaker 2: he's expected more of a rail and more of a
1:53:53
Speaker 2: wheel and Henderson.
1:53:54
Speaker 1: Henderson kind of flattens this out, yeah, and like almost
1:53:57
Speaker 1: flares Now end zone angle is interesting, So I wanted
1:54:03
Speaker 1: to highlight this one. Romandre Stevenson before he's here. He's
1:54:10
Speaker 1: out here again, and then he comes into the backfield.
1:54:13
Speaker 2: Milano is seeing that. He's in the midst of seeing
1:54:16
Speaker 2: this right now.
1:54:18
Speaker 1: So Milano sees Remandre come into the backfield and watch
1:54:22
Speaker 1: he essentially says something to aj A Panessa, and aj
1:54:29
Speaker 1: Panessa will then look at Milano. He'll look up and
1:54:34
Speaker 1: be like, wait what he peeks in the backfield and
1:54:37
Speaker 1: sees what's going on. Now, he's gonna change his alignment
1:54:41
Speaker 1: and change what he's doing ever so slightly. Now he's
1:54:44
Speaker 1: done that. Okay, now, Shack Thompson, this man right here,
1:54:51
Speaker 1: let's back up a quick second. Shaq now takes a
1:54:55
Speaker 1: peek also at Remandre here looks into the backfield, sees Henderson.
1:55:02
Speaker 1: He's gonna look over say something to Milano, and he's
1:55:08
Speaker 1: also gonna hand gesture to Milano.
1:55:10
Speaker 2: All of this.
1:55:11
Speaker 1: Communication and then now let's watch how things play out
1:55:17
Speaker 1: between all these guys. Milano is Russian, but watch Ajvanessa
1:55:23
Speaker 1: becase again Shack dropped. He's more just communicating than anything.
1:55:26
Speaker 2: Watch Ajvanessa again.
1:55:28
Speaker 1: This isn't like something revelatory, but he again he engages
1:55:31
Speaker 1: the left guard. Now watch him fall off and gets
1:55:34
Speaker 1: square rights. He's baiting like waiting, like he's sitting there
1:55:39
Speaker 1: like step up, I dare you to step up. May doesn't.
1:55:43
Speaker 1: But now watch him start to move and make his
1:55:45
Speaker 1: way in. He becomes the spy. I just thought that
1:55:48
Speaker 1: was very interesting, the way that whole communication and now
1:55:51
Speaker 1: watching a real time between those three, like you can
1:55:53
Speaker 1: see Milano ce Remandre says something to Aj. Aj recognizes
1:55:58
Speaker 1: it changes his alignment. Shack sees it. Shack gestures almost
1:56:02
Speaker 1: like Shack almost kind of says like if I'm trying
1:56:05
Speaker 1: to read the t leave, Shack almost says the type
1:56:07
Speaker 1: of thing of like when he puts his hand up here,
1:56:09
Speaker 1: like you know, one of 'all spine or something right,
1:56:11
Speaker 1: like yeah, you got this right. Because they checked there,
1:56:15
Speaker 1: like they're communicating that they're hearing May's checks, They're seeing
1:56:19
Speaker 1: the shift. Ca moarning the chest says wait what Malana
1:56:21
Speaker 1: spoke words? Uh, he's nonverbal. We don't know, but I
1:56:25
Speaker 1: thought that was very interesting, the way they adjust they
1:56:28
Speaker 1: react between those three and then what we see posts.
1:56:32
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:56:32
Speaker 1: Again, we saw something similar a little earlier where Aj
1:56:35
Speaker 1: engaged the left guard and dropped out, But now this
1:56:37
Speaker 1: is more of a true spy, like he's making his
1:56:39
Speaker 1: way inside and getting right into that gap to get
1:56:43
Speaker 1: right over me.
1:56:44
Speaker 2: So do you think if Stevenson didn't motion back in,
1:56:48
Speaker 2: someone else was gonna spy or that all, but that
1:56:54
Speaker 2: both of them would rush. I'm thinking if as dropping
1:56:59
Speaker 2: out regardless, Yes.
1:57:01
Speaker 1: I'm My thought here is if Remandre doesn't come in,
1:57:06
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, because again, what do we want to go
1:57:09
Speaker 1: to the wide angle? It's all going to be based
1:57:11
Speaker 1: off of if Ramandre had stayed out here, you know,
1:57:15
Speaker 1: way we get a different coverage, different type of look.
1:57:17
Speaker 1: I think Milano is rushing because Remandre is coming in.
1:57:23
Speaker 1: He's saying that he's coming into he's coming in the backfield.
1:57:27
Speaker 1: I'm going to attack him and occupy that space. You're
1:57:31
Speaker 1: the one who's dropping off.
1:57:32
Speaker 2: Right, because that's the second Yep, that makes sense. That
1:57:34
Speaker 2: tracks with the second half game plan. Just take away
1:57:37
Speaker 2: the running backs to clear them as either a blocker
1:57:40
Speaker 2: or a route early.
1:57:42
Speaker 1: And now what's interesting is it doesn't seem like it
1:57:45
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like Milano is rushing and then like, okay,
1:57:49
Speaker 1: I feel this block, let me continue. Maybe he does,
1:57:52
Speaker 1: but Malana looks like he's straight rushing rushing.
1:57:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, he's not just trying to occupy the running back.
1:57:57
Speaker 2: He's trying to get to the quarterback.
1:57:59
Speaker 1: Yes, and so I think as aj Panessa rushes, you
1:58:04
Speaker 1: can see him after he engages the left guard, Ajfanessa,
1:58:10
Speaker 1: he oh, here's another one too, right, Like, watch aj
1:58:13
Speaker 1: Panessa as he gets down in I think Groot says
1:58:15
Speaker 1: something because he peeks back out like as if he's acknowledging,
1:58:19
Speaker 1: like they're all acknowledging the check like now he heard something.
1:58:22
Speaker 2: He's peeking kind of seeing what's up.
1:58:24
Speaker 1: And look, you could see him almost kind of like
1:58:26
Speaker 1: again we can't see words of see their mouth. It
1:58:28
Speaker 1: looks like a Pessa looks and says something right there
1:58:31
Speaker 1: to them right yeah. Now watches aj Panessa engages the
1:58:37
Speaker 1: left guard, pops out. His eyes were, oh, I go
1:58:43
Speaker 1: let me freeze frame it better. That's where I need
1:58:45
Speaker 1: like an actual like huddle controller.
1:58:48
Speaker 2: Look where his eyes are. He's on Remandre.
1:58:52
Speaker 1: He's he's the one who is now responsible for that
1:58:56
Speaker 1: he's watching Remandre, but he sees that he's fully locked
1:58:59
Speaker 1: in to Milano acting like a friggin honey badger and
1:59:04
Speaker 1: is like okay, and then.
1:59:05
Speaker 2: He falls off.
1:59:08
Speaker 1: Interesting, that's very I think that's very cool. Like the
1:59:10
Speaker 1: adjustments on the fly and everything I did. There any
1:59:14
Speaker 1: thoughts on that, I just realized.
1:59:16
Speaker 2: I know that No, it's a lot of information to
1:59:19
Speaker 2: take in, but no, that is interesting. I think it's
1:59:21
Speaker 2: pretty cool. I thought about reaching out to I probably will.
1:59:26
Speaker 2: I'm going to reach out to.
1:59:28
Speaker 1: A player and see if there are a couple of
1:59:30
Speaker 1: them and see if they will confirm what I think.
1:59:33
Speaker 1: I try to keep those cards in my back pocket
1:59:34
Speaker 1: until I absolutely need them. But I feel like we've
1:59:36
Speaker 1: diagnosed that, but I kind of want to know for
1:59:38
Speaker 1: sure because I think it's really cool. Yeah, fourth and five,
1:59:43
Speaker 1: last play of the game for the Pats get a
1:59:44
Speaker 1: pass that I understand. I don't fault them for not
1:59:47
Speaker 1: running here. Essentially, now, this is what I talked about earlier. Right,
1:59:51
Speaker 1: this was the Jordan Poyer interception. We got the motion
1:59:55
Speaker 1: from Hunter Henry and it turns into mesh. This time
1:59:58
Speaker 1: we were going to get a cover one stimulated pressure
2:00:01
Speaker 1: from the Bill so it's man coverage across the board,
2:00:06
Speaker 1: man coverage, man coverage, single high post safety and that
2:00:10
Speaker 1: we're going to get a simulated pressure. I'm calling it
2:00:14
Speaker 1: that because essentially we're showing five across the line right now.
2:00:16
Speaker 2: But this is cool.
2:00:17
Speaker 1: We're gonna get both edges are gonna drop out. Shack
2:00:20
Speaker 1: Thompson is going to be the one who rushes, and
2:00:22
Speaker 1: then another big piece on. This is again, aside from
2:00:28
Speaker 1: this being the same play that we saw earlier, the
2:00:30
Speaker 1: Bills just beat the.
2:00:31
Speaker 2: Hell out of the Pats pass catchers.
2:00:33
Speaker 1: Watch Hairston on Hollins, watch tarn On Diggs. They know
2:00:38
Speaker 1: it's fourth and five, they know they have the freedom
2:00:40
Speaker 1: before that first down marker. They beat the hell out
2:00:43
Speaker 1: of them. They mug and gum this whole thing up.
2:00:47
Speaker 1: This is real pretty. We'll start with Harriston on the
2:00:50
Speaker 1: bottom of the screen. So again there's that little return
2:00:52
Speaker 1: motion that yo yo from Henry. I'm going across Psych
2:00:56
Speaker 1: I'm popping back out. He's gonna be the one to
2:00:58
Speaker 1: run that over. Watch Harston and we'll start here on
2:01:00
Speaker 1: the bottom. Hairston all over, Hollin's good press in his kitchen.
2:01:06
Speaker 1: Now where to go Henry creates some leverage for himself
2:01:09
Speaker 1: against Cole Bishop. But because that's right natural rub But
2:01:13
Speaker 1: because we've got an edge dropping into the low hole,
2:01:17
Speaker 1: this is gone. We've got another edge dropping into the
2:01:20
Speaker 1: low hole out here. So that other drag from that's
2:01:25
Speaker 1: too deep. But that other drag from Diggs is not there.
2:01:29
Speaker 1: Bosa drops right into the window. Now, watch Terran, he's trailing.
2:01:34
Speaker 1: Watch Terran just get right into digs and digs.
2:01:38
Speaker 2: You know what. I'm gonna go back.
2:01:39
Speaker 1: Watch Diggs realize it. Diggs tries to fake him out,
2:01:43
Speaker 1: Watch him stop like he's gonna pivot. I'm going back
2:01:45
Speaker 1: outside psych I'm gonna continue on that. That's why I
2:01:52
Speaker 1: brought it up, because you you referenced that earlier, and
2:01:54
Speaker 1: Terren just attaches to him and it's like, nah, I'm
2:01:57
Speaker 1: just gonna ride you and beat the hell out of you.
2:01:58
Speaker 1: I'm all over you.
2:02:00
Speaker 2: Look at it. Look at this.
2:02:01
Speaker 1: This is gorgeous. This is all mucked up. There's nothing there,
2:02:05
Speaker 1: there's nothing here. Uh, there's potentially an opening here, but
2:02:08
Speaker 1: you're not getting to the corner.
2:02:09
Speaker 2: Route on match.
2:02:10
Speaker 1: That's just not how the progression is gonna work realistically.
2:02:13
Speaker 1: Drake May's trying to figure out what to do with
2:02:15
Speaker 1: his life. Uh, and Bosa closes down quickly with a
2:02:21
Speaker 1: great angle with urgency.
2:02:23
Speaker 2: Diggs does kind of come open here. Maybe cam Lewis,
2:02:26
Speaker 2: yeah he does, as like he did in Buffalo.
2:02:28
Speaker 1: Maybe cam Lewis can close down and make a play,
2:02:31
Speaker 1: but it looks open.
2:02:32
Speaker 2: Ball gets batted.
2:02:34
Speaker 1: And the last thing I want to highlight before I
2:02:36
Speaker 1: kick it over to you, I love the blitz pick
2:02:38
Speaker 1: up here from Ramandre Stevenson. Watch hit the car crash
2:02:41
Speaker 1: between him and shack. Oh, that's just such a good
2:02:45
Speaker 1: blitz pick up to dude likes him bang.
2:02:52
Speaker 2: Look at him just staying shack up. They both kind
2:02:55
Speaker 2: of yeah, that's a proper stalemate.
2:03:00
Speaker 1: That's just bang like contact like that is just violence.
2:03:05
Speaker 1: But I kick it to you. That's the last piece
2:03:07
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about.
2:03:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, what a fortuitous play call for the
2:03:10
Speaker 2: Bills to drop out both those edges right into the mesh.
2:03:14
Speaker 2: Look also so ironic that the Patriots ran mesh. Who
2:03:19
Speaker 2: do they think they are? Brady's hilarious, but also like
2:03:23
Speaker 2: McDaniels loves these little yo yo motions into the natural
2:03:27
Speaker 2: rub and they tried it multiple times and it was
2:03:30
Speaker 2: open if Dorian wasn't dropping right into it. Then on
2:03:34
Speaker 2: the other side, yeah, Bosa was dropped right in the coverage.
2:03:37
Speaker 2: But great job there, obviously by Bosa. He makes this
2:03:40
Speaker 2: play seeing May escape that pocket and taking space away
2:03:46
Speaker 2: from him because he could have just kind of sat
2:03:48
Speaker 2: and coverage, but he take He took away the legs
2:03:51
Speaker 2: of May. He closed the space and but broke down.
2:03:54
Speaker 2: He broke down and slowed down and made sure that
2:03:57
Speaker 2: he made himself available to deflect that pass. He did
2:04:01
Speaker 2: a really great job leveraging space and taking this space
2:04:04
Speaker 2: away from May. That was fortuitous play call, but great
2:04:09
Speaker 2: follow through by Bosa to really put the finishing touches
2:04:12
Speaker 2: on it. Yeah, one thousand. You can see May. He's
2:04:16
Speaker 2: looking to the left. Why it's the same play as before.
2:04:18
Speaker 2: He wants it's gonna be wide open if Dorian isn't there, Yes.
2:04:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's space here, this kid, this ball can be
2:04:24
Speaker 1: thrown right here.
2:04:25
Speaker 2: Maybe Bishop, probably some yards after the catch, honestly.
2:04:29
Speaker 1: Because yeah, Bishop gets held up a little bit. But
2:04:31
Speaker 1: don't look at there's this ain't happening. There's nothing here.
2:04:35
Speaker 2: So Drake.
2:04:37
Speaker 1: Drake is like, oh, oh where else do I go
2:04:39
Speaker 1: because after he looks to the left, Okay, that's not there.
2:04:45
Speaker 1: Dorian's in the window there. He gets his eyes over here.
2:04:48
Speaker 1: What does he see here?
2:04:50
Speaker 2: There? Yeah, there's nothing here. Hollins isn't running a real
2:04:53
Speaker 2: route Nope. And so now he gets his eyes back
2:04:56
Speaker 2: to the left. He's like, oh, maybe did this like
2:04:58
Speaker 2: kind of come open? No, it hasn't.
2:05:01
Speaker 1: Okay, I gotta create to your point. Hollins is just
2:05:04
Speaker 1: chilling like thinking, did you throw the ball yet? He
2:05:07
Speaker 1: looks back look at Hollins.
2:05:11
Speaker 2: His job there is to get Henry open. The ball
2:05:14
Speaker 2: should be out. He looks back like, oh, should I run?
2:05:17
Speaker 2: Should I not?
2:05:17
Speaker 1: And now May takes off and you said it, you you,
2:05:20
Speaker 1: you narrated it perfectly Bosa season. Bosa's now almost like
2:05:23
Speaker 1: an aggressive spy at this point, closes down with urgency,
2:05:27
Speaker 1: but he's under control, good angle, and then he just
2:05:30
Speaker 1: makes himself big, like what you're supposed to do. When
2:05:34
Speaker 1: I forget which colored bear?
2:05:35
Speaker 2: Definitely, I was just gonna say, it's definitely something about
2:05:37
Speaker 2: a bear.
2:05:38
Speaker 1: If it's brown, lay down, if it's black, fight back,
2:05:43
Speaker 1: and if it's white, night night, I think, which is
2:05:46
Speaker 1: all say? Like, if it's So if it's a brown bear,
2:05:48
Speaker 1: you play dad. If it's a black bear, you yell
2:05:50
Speaker 1: and fight back, and if it's a polar bear you're dead.
2:05:52
Speaker 1: Just say good night, it's over, or maybe it means
2:05:55
Speaker 1: go to sleep night. They're pretty sure that's it. I
2:05:57
Speaker 1: could be wrong. Someone of the chef probably knows it's
2:05:58
Speaker 1: better than me. But yeah, gets up.
2:06:01
Speaker 2: You can see digs have some space. Yeah, it's it's there.
2:06:04
Speaker 2: It's possible.
2:06:06
Speaker 1: Bills win.
2:06:07
Speaker 2: Better play fortuitous play call better play for tuitous. Anything
2:06:11
Speaker 2: else you want to go over with this?
2:06:13
Speaker 1: Uh? With cake?
2:06:14
Speaker 2: No? Man? That was That was a lot, but that
2:06:17
Speaker 2: was a good a lot. I hope everyone learned a
2:06:21
Speaker 2: lot from that. I hope everyone kind of relished in
2:06:24
Speaker 2: it because it was a nice turnaround for the Bills,
2:06:27
Speaker 2: really mixing things up. And I think, you know, for years,
2:06:32
Speaker 2: even back to like the Leslie Frasier days of it all,
2:06:34
Speaker 2: it's like, oh, we're just gonna sit back in our
2:06:37
Speaker 2: soft zone and like, to be fair, it worked for
2:06:39
Speaker 2: them when they were doing it because they had the
2:06:41
Speaker 2: personnel to do it and execute. But I think we're
2:06:44
Speaker 2: at a stage in this life cycle of this franchise
2:06:47
Speaker 2: where kind of got to scheme up some things, mix
2:06:50
Speaker 2: some things up, dictate to offenses, keep them on their toes,
2:06:53
Speaker 2: and not just try to out execute them because we
2:06:56
Speaker 2: aren't the Texans defense. We can't just out execute people.
2:07:01
Speaker 2: So it's refreshing to see this from the Bills in
2:07:03
Speaker 2: the second half. Hopefully they start doing it in first halves.
2:07:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just don't want to play that dangerous game
2:07:11
Speaker 1: of like we can dig ourselves out and like, I
2:07:13
Speaker 1: don't want to play that game came playoff.
2:07:14
Speaker 2: Time because like in theory, if you try this in
2:07:17
Speaker 2: the first half and it doesn't work, you're still digging
2:07:20
Speaker 2: yourself out of a hole. You're in the same right anyway,
2:07:24
Speaker 2: Just try it, like it, it doesn't matter. I guess there's,
2:07:27
Speaker 2: you know, the whole element of like, oh, we don't
2:07:29
Speaker 2: want to put it on tape, and there's always that
2:07:31
Speaker 2: conversation we don't want to like I don't know, maybe
2:07:34
Speaker 2: it's true, maybe it isn't, but I think we're at
2:07:37
Speaker 2: the point of the season where you gotta win games.
2:07:40
Speaker 2: Right at this point, what's on tape is on tape,
2:07:43
Speaker 2: and everyone's gonna be scouting your regardless, you gotta be
2:07:46
Speaker 2: putting your best stuff out there and playing your best
2:07:49
Speaker 2: because you're gonna need your best in three weeks time.
2:07:54
Speaker 1: I completely agree, well said, speaking of the best best
2:07:59
Speaker 1: pizza and Buffalo, New York. One Pie Pizza, sweet sauce pie,
2:08:03
Speaker 1: cup of char pepperoni, great cheese, the sauce ratio on
2:08:06
Speaker 1: the pizza. They also have a catering division called Elevated
2:08:09
Speaker 1: Catering of Buffalo where they do any type of event
2:08:12
Speaker 1: you got that you want to do, homemade mac and cheeses,
2:08:16
Speaker 1: like a bunch of different kinds of mac and cheeses.
2:08:18
Speaker 2: They're great.
2:08:19
Speaker 1: I've had them cater multiple events for me over the
2:08:21
Speaker 1: past couple of years and their stuff is awesome. You
2:08:23
Speaker 1: can get the pizzas on top of it, two great
2:08:25
Speaker 1: salads for one pie and for Elevated Caring a Buffalo.
2:08:27
Speaker 1: Everything's awesome. But as I always talk and plug, this
2:08:30
Speaker 1: time of year, it is Toys for Tot's time. They
2:08:34
Speaker 1: are doing their Toys for Tots drive at One Pie.
2:08:36
Speaker 1: So get yourself down there get some of the best
2:08:39
Speaker 1: pizza in Buffalo. And I don't say they're the best
2:08:40
Speaker 1: because they sponsor the show. They sponsor the show because
2:08:42
Speaker 1: I think they are the best. Sincerely, bring a toy.
2:08:45
Speaker 1: For every toy that you bring, new and unwrapped, drop
2:08:48
Speaker 1: it into the bucket, you will get a ticket that
2:08:52
Speaker 1: is good for one of several prizes. Well, if you
2:08:54
Speaker 1: bring one toy, you get one ticket. You bring ten toys,
2:08:56
Speaker 1: you get ten tickets. Prizes this year are a James
2:09:00
Speaker 1: Hook autograph jersey, a Dion Dawkins autograph jersey, a three
2:09:04
Speaker 1: hundred dollars one pie gift card, and one of ten
2:09:07
Speaker 1: to thirty dollars one pie gift cards. I'll be dropping
2:09:10
Speaker 1: off toys. I gotta be honest, it'd be sweet you
2:09:12
Speaker 1: have one of the jerseys. I really want the three
2:09:13
Speaker 1: hundred dollars one pie gift card because their pizza is amazing,
2:09:18
Speaker 1: their food is amazing in general, So get down there,
2:09:21
Speaker 1: engage in toys for tots. I say it all the
2:09:23
Speaker 1: time with these episodes. Christmas is my favorite time of year. Obviously,
2:09:28
Speaker 1: I would hope.
2:09:29
Speaker 2: I can't. Right, you can never tell.
2:09:32
Speaker 1: But Christmas in the holidays in general, right, aren't necessarily
2:09:35
Speaker 1: as amazing of a time for everyone as they are
2:09:38
Speaker 1: for me or for other individuals. So anything that anyone
2:09:42
Speaker 1: can do, and whether you know I just I can
2:09:45
Speaker 1: speak for one pie and what they do with toys
2:09:47
Speaker 1: for Tots.
2:09:47
Speaker 2: But if it's any type.
2:09:49
Speaker 1: Of charitable donational aspect at this time of year, I
2:09:53
Speaker 1: think people can really make a difference for people in need.
2:09:56
Speaker 1: So if you have the capacity to give and donate
2:09:59
Speaker 1: and make someone holiday a little brighter and a little happier,
2:10:03
Speaker 1: I think it's awesome to do that to try and
2:10:05
Speaker 1: better the community, the world, all that kind of stuff.
2:10:07
Speaker 1: So you know, if get down to one pie, do
2:10:09
Speaker 1: that or doing whatever form or fashion it comes in
2:10:13
Speaker 1: for you, I think it's a really great time. And
2:10:15
Speaker 1: uh yeah, I'll do it for us here on this
2:10:18
Speaker 1: Episode'm gonna throw the band up. That says two of
2:10:20
