2:35
Speaker 1: coverage after we swapped with Greg and Aaron and cover
2:38
Speaker 1: one Buffalo who had to go last night instead in
2:40
Speaker 1: the regular time slot. Excited to dive into this conversation tonight.
2:44
Speaker 1: I think there's actually some really fun pieces to this
2:46
Speaker 1: Titans team that I think a lot of fans are
2:47
Speaker 1: overlooking because of the Will Levis character arc and all
2:51
Speaker 1: the jokes that come along with it. And to dive
2:53
Speaker 1: into that Buffalo Bills and Tennessee Titans conversation, I am
2:57
Speaker 1: joined by someone who I I'm a genuine fan of.
3:01
Speaker 1: He's been on the show multiple times, Draft Talk multiple
3:04
Speaker 1: times to collaborate regarding Bills and Titans. I am joined
3:09
Speaker 1: by mister James Foster, analyst for the thirty third team. James,
3:15
Speaker 1: I appreciate you taking the time. Welcome to the show, Thanks.
3:17
Speaker 2: For coming, Thanks for having me. Always a pleasure.
3:20
Speaker 1: We enjoy getting to talk all with you. We started
3:22
Speaker 1: a little bit late because you and I were talking
3:23
Speaker 1: Paul in some nonsense off stuff or offline, especially regarding
3:27
Speaker 1: some draft takes and some thoughts that we had that
3:29
Speaker 1: we don't share publicly. But we glowed about him, which
3:32
Speaker 1: was very nice to do. James. This Titans team comes
3:36
Speaker 1: in kind of I was stumbling, and I think a
3:42
Speaker 1: lot of people, especially from a casual fan perspective who
3:45
Speaker 1: aren't watching the Titans, look at this team as kind
3:49
Speaker 1: of just like the Will Levis memes. Even this past week,
3:52
Speaker 1: like he's coming to the end zone. He's shooting web
3:54
Speaker 1: everywhere for Spider Man style, Like, he just does a
3:57
Speaker 1: lot of things that fall into the meble categories of
4:01
Speaker 1: the world.
4:02
Speaker 2: He ends up the main character every Sunday.
4:04
Speaker 1: It's a good call. Yeah, no matter what, it doesn't
4:07
Speaker 1: matter who they're playing, if they're winning, they're losing. There's
4:09
Speaker 1: all these other storylines and games going on, and yeah,
4:11
Speaker 1: Will Levis is the main character for the NFL every
4:14
Speaker 1: single week. But you, I mean, you grind a ton
4:17
Speaker 1: of tape in general college NFL stuff. You're looking at
4:21
Speaker 1: anything and everything, but you know, you kind of cut
4:23
Speaker 1: your teeth with the Titans, and that is the team
4:24
Speaker 1: you gravitate towards. As we start to talk about this
4:28
Speaker 1: matchup high level, who is this Titans team? What are
4:33
Speaker 1: they is? It just as simple as yeah, the record
4:35
Speaker 1: is what the record is. I myself and you know,
4:37
Speaker 1: we'll get into it. I was really impressed with what
4:39
Speaker 1: I saw from the defense against Indianapolis, Like they do
4:42
Speaker 1: a lot of fun things from an individual player perspective,
4:44
Speaker 1: but also from a scheme perspective. They've still got some
4:46
Speaker 1: good parts on offense from a player standpoint, A good
4:50
Speaker 1: offensive line a good offensive line coach. Is it just
4:53
Speaker 1: as simple as you know it is the Will Levis
4:55
Speaker 1: stuff or is there more to it? Who and what
4:58
Speaker 1: is this Tennessee Titans team at this point in the year.
5:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's definitely not a talentless roster by
5:04
Speaker 2: any means. I think, you know, throughout this season, if
5:09
Speaker 2: we set the opposing team's strength equal to end, the
5:14
Speaker 2: Titans' strength is equal to end minus one. Like that's
5:17
Speaker 2: kind of how it's been. It's like somebody posts these
5:22
Speaker 2: graphics where it's like lead differential by quarter, and you know,
5:26
Speaker 2: they're their top twelve in the NFL for each of
5:30
Speaker 2: the first three quarters in terms of like point differential,
5:33
Speaker 2: and then I think thirty second or thirty first in
5:35
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. So it's been a lot of like
5:38
Speaker 2: not even just being in the games, but kind of
5:40
Speaker 2: controlling the games with a conservative like ball control, run
5:45
Speaker 2: the football, quick pass, good defense kind of play style.
5:48
Speaker 2: And then late third quarter, early fourth quarter, I mean
5:52
Speaker 2: that's really when you just need to turn the game on,
5:54
Speaker 2: because that's when you know you're gonna figure out who's
5:56
Speaker 2: gonna what's gonna happen. But you know, Will Levis makes
5:59
Speaker 2: one of his plays. The first two weeks, they had
6:03
Speaker 2: two blocked punts in a row, which is the first
6:07
Speaker 2: time that's happened, and there's some crazy static like decades
6:10
Speaker 2: or something, and then yeah, just kind of like giving
6:13
Speaker 2: the given the game away. I don't think, you know,
6:17
Speaker 2: I'm not saying this is like a playoff team if
6:20
Speaker 2: they had a couple bounces go their way. I had
6:24
Speaker 2: them ranked twenty fifth in the NFL heading into the season,
6:28
Speaker 2: and I think the offense has performed below my expectations.
6:31
Speaker 2: The defense has definitely performed above my expectations. So I think,
6:36
Speaker 2: like just in terms of caliber of team, you know,
6:40
Speaker 2: twenty fifth to twenty third is what they've been the
6:42
Speaker 2: last couple of weeks. But losses start to pile up.
6:45
Speaker 2: Quarterback loses is confidence. It's easy for things to really
6:48
Speaker 2: go off the rails and then you just become like
6:50
Speaker 2: a genuinely bad football team.
6:53
Speaker 1: That's super fair assessment. And again, you grind more Titans
6:56
Speaker 1: tape than I do. What I sit in a similar spot,
6:58
Speaker 1: like I seeing how the games have progressed. I've watched
7:03
Speaker 1: a couple of Titans games just from broadcast broadcast and
7:05
Speaker 1: then studying them multiple games from the tape, and yeah,
7:08
Speaker 1: it's just this like weird. Even the Colt scheme is
7:12
Speaker 1: like a really good example, like they felt like they
7:15
Speaker 1: were in control and I knew they I knew they
7:17
Speaker 1: lost before I watched the tape, and so I was
7:20
Speaker 1: just waiting and the game was going along and everything
7:22
Speaker 1: was clicking, and then like got to the fourth quarter
7:24
Speaker 1: and I was like, okay, so this is where like
7:25
Speaker 1: things kind of like turn a little bit, and it's
7:27
Speaker 1: just kind of yeah, falling in line.
7:29
Speaker 2: With Yeah, the problem is they don't They just don't
7:32
Speaker 2: really have the ability to generate explosive plays to you know,
7:38
Speaker 2: like put the foot on somebody's throat, so you kind
7:43
Speaker 2: of end up with just it's like, you know, they
7:46
Speaker 2: they'll get maybe one touchdown in the first three quarter,
7:48
Speaker 2: like it'll be seventeen thirteen that kind of game, and
7:51
Speaker 2: they just let teams hang around and like other teams
7:55
Speaker 2: you know, are eventually gonna be able to score. Like
7:57
Speaker 2: even even if you have a pretty good defense, especially
8:00
Speaker 2: if you don't really have a pass rush, like they
8:02
Speaker 2: don't have a great pass rush that's gonna win one
8:06
Speaker 2: on ones in those like key passing drive situations you've
8:12
Speaker 2: got Lugarius Sneed, who's been i mean, one of the
8:14
Speaker 2: worst corners in the NFL this year, gotten very lucky
8:18
Speaker 2: with some overthrown passes and dropped you know, easy touchdowns.
8:22
Speaker 2: But yeah, it kind of just like all all falls
8:25
Speaker 2: together for them to give up games.
8:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, even the game against the Colts when
8:30
Speaker 1: Alec Pierce gets behind him and then he's diving trying
8:33
Speaker 1: to like grab and me hold the arm back draws
8:35
Speaker 1: like the big pass interference call. And then he's also
8:38
Speaker 1: the one who gets beat by Pittman on the jump
8:40
Speaker 1: ball into the end zone like a little bit of
8:42
Speaker 1: microcosma of houses. And then and what he.
8:44
Speaker 2: Had in the first quarter he had another like sixty
8:47
Speaker 2: yard touchdown that I mean the receiver had three or four.
8:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, the one that Flaco overthrow, Yeah, that seam ball
8:53
Speaker 1: and he kind of was like caught in between. I
8:55
Speaker 1: think they were in cover three and it was kind
8:58
Speaker 1: of like caught in between of like sticking up or
9:00
Speaker 1: dropping back, and he sees it. But when he sees it,
9:04
Speaker 1: do it is already even And if you're even, you're
9:06
Speaker 1: leaving and he just continues to zoom. And yeah, Flaco
9:10
Speaker 1: just under through or overthrew it a little bit. Also,
9:12
Speaker 1: it's still crazy that Joe Flacco is out here like
9:14
Speaker 1: still kind of making some good throws, like he continues
9:17
Speaker 1: his Browns arc was really interesting and I was like, well,
9:20
Speaker 1: that's probably I got to be a fluke and then
9:21
Speaker 1: he's out here still making something pretty good throws, like
9:23
Speaker 1: at times with the cold. So that was really interesting
9:25
Speaker 1: to see as well. I'm really fascinated by the Titans
9:30
Speaker 1: team because it's so and I was in a similar
9:33
Speaker 1: spot like preseason, like I didn't think like, oh, this
9:34
Speaker 1: is a sneaky playoff team, or this is a team
9:36
Speaker 1: that could really shock some people from a playoff perspective,
9:40
Speaker 1: even from wins lost perspective. But I really like Skeronsky
9:43
Speaker 1: last year. I like Latham coming out this year. Then
9:47
Speaker 1: you get one of the best offensive line coaches in
9:51
Speaker 1: NFL history to come on board, and the Browns let
9:53
Speaker 1: him out of his deal so he could go, you know,
9:56
Speaker 1: behind his son's staff. Who is you know, the head
9:58
Speaker 1: coach of this Titan squad. Now it's okay, the offensive
10:01
Speaker 1: line's fun, and then you know Hop isn't Texans Hop,
10:04
Speaker 1: but he's still functional. And then you bring in Ridley.
10:08
Speaker 1: I like Tony Pollard, I like Taje. Spears, I like
10:11
Speaker 1: a bunch of the pieces on defense, and it yeah,
10:14
Speaker 1: it's just it's so not I guess shouldn't say weird,
10:17
Speaker 1: but like, you have a new coaching staff and Sneed
10:19
Speaker 1: hasn't performed up with snuff. Jeffrey Simmons has been banged up,
10:22
Speaker 1: and he's so important to the defense, and so inchegrial
10:24
Speaker 1: because they don't have a lot of depth there, you know,
10:26
Speaker 1: tearing the ligament in his elbow. But I look at
10:29
Speaker 1: the squad from a roster standpoint, and then I watch
10:32
Speaker 1: them on tape and I'm not just like, oh, yeah,
10:34
Speaker 1: this is a one to four team, like their bad.
10:36
Speaker 1: It's just I feel weird watching them, Like I don't
10:39
Speaker 1: think they're good. But I'm also not like, oh, yeah,
10:41
Speaker 1: they're one and four, like I can see if they're terrible.
10:43
Speaker 1: And to your point, I really like if they were
10:46
Speaker 1: two and three or three and two, Like it really
10:48
Speaker 1: is just a couple You can say this for so
10:50
Speaker 1: many teams, right, but it's really just a couple of
10:52
Speaker 1: bounces that have not gone their way, and they really
10:55
Speaker 1: could be sitting here like above five hundred or just
10:58
Speaker 1: easily like one game below at worse.
11:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Mason Rudolph wins them definitely two games,
11:07
Speaker 2: like for sure, like and you could argue three, so
11:10
Speaker 2: like they could, you know, very easily be three and two.
11:14
Speaker 2: But you know, I don't. I'm not like there have
11:20
Speaker 2: been Titans teams that have kind of pissed away opportunities
11:23
Speaker 2: when they were a good team. This is not one
11:25
Speaker 2: of those where it's like, I don't think they're making
11:28
Speaker 2: any kind of playoff run if they if they got
11:30
Speaker 2: you know, super lucky or anything. So like, I'm not
11:33
Speaker 2: even really that, you know, as disappointed by it.
11:37
Speaker 1: Very fair question for you that I want to grab
11:39
Speaker 1: from the chat. Roy says, opinion on Will Levis franchise
11:43
Speaker 1: QB in the making or is he just an average dude?
11:45
Speaker 1: What do you think thus far with the Will Levis experience?
11:48
Speaker 2: Well, average would be a development that would be I
11:53
Speaker 2: would welcome average with open arms. I mean he's yeah,
11:58
Speaker 2: I think bottom two or three quarterback in the league
12:01
Speaker 2: this year. And I say that as somebody that liked
12:04
Speaker 2: him a decent amount of a prospect. I think I
12:06
Speaker 2: had him like twelve on my board and thought that
12:10
Speaker 2: he showed definitely showed flashes last year. Like last year
12:14
Speaker 2: he was in that kind of like him and Anthony
12:18
Speaker 2: Richardson are in the same quadrant of the chart, like
12:22
Speaker 2: the chaotic. You know, there's gonna be a bunch of
12:25
Speaker 2: you know, big time throws, but then a lot of
12:29
Speaker 2: really bad decisions. A lot of Titans fans, you know,
12:34
Speaker 2: it's been like a big conversation that he's regressed this year,
12:37
Speaker 2: and I think he definitely has in certain areas, but
12:40
Speaker 2: the turnovers I actually don't think is a regression. Last year,
12:44
Speaker 2: he according to Sports Info Solutions, led the NFL and
12:47
Speaker 2: dropped interceptions last year, so he just wasn't getting punished
12:51
Speaker 2: for the bad decisions, Like he got really lucky with
12:54
Speaker 2: some you know, easy interceptions that were dropped. This year,
12:58
Speaker 2: defenders are just converting a lot more of those opportunities.
13:01
Speaker 2: The big change that we've seen in will Levis, and
13:03
Speaker 2: part of this has to do with the offense, is
13:05
Speaker 2: that the big time explosive throws are pretty much gone.
13:10
Speaker 2: Outside of the Jets game where he threw a couple
13:13
Speaker 2: of dimes, he really hasn't like he hasn't thrown a
13:19
Speaker 2: Twitter worthy pass, you know, like in the good direction
13:22
Speaker 2: this year. And I think part of that has to
13:25
Speaker 2: do with the offense, because one of the things that
13:27
Speaker 2: he does best is just play action, rip a deep
13:31
Speaker 2: over down the middle of the field, and that fifteen
13:36
Speaker 2: to thirty yard between the numbers range, Like if you
13:40
Speaker 2: look at their heat maps from the past two seasons,
13:42
Speaker 2: I mean, it's completely gone from this offense. It's just
13:45
Speaker 2: not a part of the field that Brian Callahan is
13:50
Speaker 2: really targeting. I think he partially that might be like
13:54
Speaker 2: a conscious decision to try to limit will Levis's bad
13:58
Speaker 2: decisions because obviously it's easy to to easier to put
14:02
Speaker 2: the ball in danger if you're thrown over the middle
14:04
Speaker 2: of the field. You've got to account for multiple zone
14:06
Speaker 2: coverage defenders and everything. But it turns out he's just
14:08
Speaker 2: going to make a bad decisions regardless, So I think
14:11
Speaker 2: they need to I think they need to get into
14:13
Speaker 2: some max protect, you know, Yankee concept type of plays
14:16
Speaker 2: and just let him rip it. And because he's just
14:20
Speaker 2: not a decisive like dice you up, march you down
14:23
Speaker 2: the field type of quarterback, which is what they're they're
14:26
Speaker 2: trying to make him.
14:27
Speaker 1: Are you out on him completely or do you think
14:30
Speaker 1: he's still salvageable.
14:32
Speaker 2: I think it's like there's a there's a five percent
14:37
Speaker 2: chance maybe, Like I wouldn't bet any money on it.
14:39
Speaker 2: I definitely think you you play him the rest of
14:43
Speaker 2: this year, Like I wouldn't benchim regardless of what happens,
14:45
Speaker 2: because I don't think there's any upside with Mason Rudolph.
14:48
Speaker 2: But yeah, he seems to have lost a lot of confidence.
14:54
Speaker 2: And if you're it's kind of like I've you him
15:00
Speaker 2: and Anthony Richardson very similarly, especially coming into this season,
15:05
Speaker 2: and like they've both struggled when they've played this year.
15:07
Speaker 2: But with Anthony Richardson, you're at least getting the highlight throws.
15:11
Speaker 2: He just he just like can't throw a flat route
15:15
Speaker 2: accurately to save his life. And with Will Levis, like
15:19
Speaker 2: I said, you're just you could you could at least
15:22
Speaker 2: sell yourself on the upside if he was making a
15:26
Speaker 2: lot of high end plays and just like say he
15:28
Speaker 2: needs to clean up the turnovers. But you don't even
15:30
Speaker 2: really have it, Like there's watching last game there there's
15:34
Speaker 2: really nothing positive to hang on to outside of a
15:37
Speaker 2: nice run where he you know, tore the the ball boys.
15:40
Speaker 1: Acl I felt so bad. I like I knew of
15:44
Speaker 1: it from the broadcast, and then I saw it early on,
15:47
Speaker 1: like watching the All twenty two and ah, you just
15:49
Speaker 1: see him writhing in pain, and yeah, he's just chaos
15:52
Speaker 1: like everywhere, And yeah, I think you're spot on, very
15:55
Speaker 1: well said. And I dove into a little bit of
15:58
Speaker 1: his twenty twenty three film in the offseason, and I
16:02
Speaker 1: was in a similar spot to you, and I think
16:04
Speaker 1: a couple other people. I was like, okay, like there
16:07
Speaker 1: is some potential there. He's making some throws. And I
16:10
Speaker 1: also kind of understood the positive side of his Kentucky
16:14
Speaker 1: experience of like, you know, it was always chaos for him,
16:17
Speaker 1: like in the pocket and he's facing pressure. But it
16:19
Speaker 1: was like, oh, well, like, well now he's kind of
16:21
Speaker 1: prepared for that to come to the NFL. It's not
16:23
Speaker 1: like he was sitting behind this amazing offensive line with
16:26
Speaker 1: all these great weapons, like he's used to kind of
16:28
Speaker 1: having to deal with the chaos, dealing with pressure literally
16:32
Speaker 1: and figuratively, and he's got some tools and traits. And
16:35
Speaker 1: there were flashes last year that I was like, okay, cool,
16:37
Speaker 1: like your too, Will Levis to kind of see what
16:40
Speaker 1: you got and they bring in Ridley. I was like,
16:41
Speaker 1: all right, the weapons aren't bad, and yeah, just unfortunately
16:44
Speaker 1: for him has not hit And man, I really feel
16:47
Speaker 1: bad for that ball boy. I still feel bad. I
16:49
Speaker 1: always feel bad anytime someone on the sideline, like the
16:51
Speaker 1: chain gang, or like any the people who are sitting there,
16:55
Speaker 1: like just holding like the cord that's attached to like
16:58
Speaker 1: the comms for the coaches, like when they get taken
17:00
Speaker 1: out or they don't see it, or always the person
17:01
Speaker 1: who's holding like the giant satellite mic for like TV,
17:05
Speaker 1: like doubt. I just feel the collateral damage, just feel
17:08
Speaker 1: it is brutal. It's the thing. I feel like they
17:12
Speaker 1: don't take into account for the job, Like you don't think, oh,
17:14
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get hurt and then yeah, your leg
17:17
Speaker 1: is just gone off.
17:18
Speaker 2: It's like sitting in the front row at Sea World.
17:22
Speaker 1: Nice, nice analogy. Yeah, that's I can get Harry in
17:26
Speaker 1: a heartbeat and in a hurry. All right, let's move
17:29
Speaker 1: on to the crux of the show, the meat of
17:30
Speaker 1: the show, the critical elements that will decide the Buffalo
17:33
Speaker 1: Bills versus the Tennessee Titans. For those playing at home,
17:36
Speaker 1: James and I are will be diving into our top
17:38
Speaker 1: three elements that will decide Bills versus Titans. It could
17:41
Speaker 1: be anything and everything. It could be very large scale,
17:44
Speaker 1: could be super niche. It could be schematic, structural, player
17:47
Speaker 1: player matchup, a position group, anything and everything, advanced metrics, base,
17:52
Speaker 1: tape based, coach base, anything and everything is literally on
17:55
Speaker 1: the table. I don't know James's answers. He does not
17:58
Speaker 1: know mine. James, you are the guests. The floor is
18:02
Speaker 1: yours to go first. You can start. I don't know
18:04
Speaker 1: if you have them ranked, and if you do, if
18:06
Speaker 1: you want to start with a particular one, or if
18:07
Speaker 1: you don't have him ranked and want to start with
18:09
Speaker 1: particular one in general, but the floor is yours. Godspeed.
18:13
Speaker 2: So since since I'm on a Bills show, I'll start
18:16
Speaker 2: with a positive one. For the Bill's home field advantage,
18:21
Speaker 2: I'll say the Bill's edge rushers against the Titans tackles,
18:26
Speaker 2: and like, really, Greg Russo is the edge rusher that
18:29
Speaker 2: I'm you know, most concerned about. If I'm the Titans,
18:34
Speaker 2: I was watching what like went through pretty much all
18:37
Speaker 2: of the Bills games today, and I mean, I I
18:42
Speaker 2: feel like finishing up their tape edge is probably like
18:47
Speaker 2: the main position that I'm targeting in the draft next year.
18:51
Speaker 2: I don't know if is that kind of where you are?
18:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you know, it's been a fun not
18:57
Speaker 1: somewhat not fun, but like an interesting conversation. When you
19:00
Speaker 1: look at the defensive line in general, like they can
19:03
Speaker 1: do every year is the same thing, right. They continue
19:05
Speaker 1: to invest sometimes one year deals in free agency, sometimes
19:09
Speaker 1: like high value draft picks, first round or Day two
19:12
Speaker 1: draft picks, and for whatever reason, they just haven't hit
19:16
Speaker 1: on those dudes that can get you a bucket. Von
19:18
Speaker 1: Miller was that guy briefly before he tore his ACL
19:23
Speaker 1: the first year when they signed him. I think Rousseau
19:25
Speaker 1: is still trending upwards. He's one of the best edge
19:29
Speaker 1: setting edge players against the run. He's tremendous against the run.
19:33
Speaker 1: I still think he's on it, yeah, and I like him.
19:35
Speaker 1: I still think he's on an upward trend as a
19:37
Speaker 1: pass rusher, but I don't think he's a dominant, like
19:40
Speaker 1: a true one against the pass. I think aj Panessa
19:44
Speaker 1: is still suited to be more of like a three
19:46
Speaker 1: or a low end two. I do think they need
19:48
Speaker 1: some reinforcement there. You need to do to get you
19:49
Speaker 1: a bucket.
19:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, like Rousseau is a really good power rusher,
19:54
Speaker 2: great with the inside counters. I thought, like, I feel
19:58
Speaker 2: like he's had a pretty good season as a pass rusher,
20:02
Speaker 2: Like it just disappeared from a couple games, but I mean,
20:07
Speaker 2: you know he was he was absolutely working Blake Fisher
20:12
Speaker 2: last like the week before. Now you might say that's
20:15
Speaker 2: a rookie making his second start. Not the best competition.
20:18
Speaker 2: Let me introduce you to the Titans right tackle because
20:22
Speaker 2: that is the definition of bad competition. So, like, I
20:26
Speaker 2: think you just line up Greg Russo over whoever the
20:30
Speaker 2: Titans having have it right tackle, whether it's Nicholas petite
20:34
Speaker 2: Frere or Leroy Watson, and just let him cook. But
20:39
Speaker 2: if he gets some run over the left tackle Jac Latham,
20:44
Speaker 2: I think that'll be a really interesting matchup that I
20:47
Speaker 2: would expect to be more of a back and forth.
20:50
Speaker 2: It would be the best competition that jac Latham has
20:53
Speaker 2: faced all season. I think he's been pretty solid, had
20:56
Speaker 2: a really bad week one, three straight great performances and
21:01
Speaker 2: then a solid solid game against the Colts. Lost a
21:04
Speaker 2: couple reps to layout to Latsu. But yeah, really interested
21:08
Speaker 2: to see that matchup. What what strategy they take there,
21:12
Speaker 2: and yes, as far as Russeau, it's just like he
21:15
Speaker 2: doesn't He still just doesn't have the the bend and
21:19
Speaker 2: really like upfield explosiveness to win that much as a
21:23
Speaker 2: speed rusher. Last last summer, I actually charted pretty much
21:27
Speaker 2: every edge rusher by pass rushing move and like did
21:31
Speaker 2: a big breakdown of it, and he was one of
21:33
Speaker 2: the lowest percentage, lowest percentage speed rushers as far as
21:38
Speaker 2: like winning the outside shoulder, but still was was really
21:42
Speaker 2: effective overall. So yeah, I just think that you know
21:46
Speaker 2: what what strategy they take, if they go best on
21:48
Speaker 2: best and then whoever whoever they line up over right tackle,
21:52
Speaker 2: I still think is gonna win like a J. Vanessa,
21:54
Speaker 2: He'll win the corner on Leroy Watson for sure. So
21:58
Speaker 2: I think the left tackle will be the real turning
22:03
Speaker 2: point and right tackle would just kind of be like
22:06
Speaker 2: a consistent source of pressure.
22:09
Speaker 1: I like that. Yeah, Traditionally Epanessa will be on the
22:13
Speaker 1: offenses left. Rousseau likes to work off the offenses right,
22:16
Speaker 1: So yeah, you'll get Rousseau against the right tackle all day.
22:18
Speaker 1: And he's again his his development is a pass rusher.
22:24
Speaker 1: I think you're spot on it's tied to some of
22:27
Speaker 1: like what he is physically like, he's not a big
22:30
Speaker 1: change of direction guy, there's not gonna be that dip.
22:32
Speaker 1: There's not gonna be that ben. It's just how he's built,
22:34
Speaker 1: like his frame. He's long and strong and powerful, but
22:37
Speaker 1: he's not you know, dip then run the arc, turn
22:39
Speaker 1: in the corner. There's not a lot of outside rush
22:42
Speaker 1: to him, speed rush, like you said. Really, everything for
22:45
Speaker 1: him is pure like set line for the tackle, and
22:48
Speaker 1: it's basically instead of being like, Okay, can I go
22:52
Speaker 1: outside through them? More inside, it's basically can I go
22:56
Speaker 1: through them? Or can I go inside?
22:58
Speaker 2: Right?
22:58
Speaker 1: Ye, he's either impressing and driving that tackle onto the
23:02
Speaker 1: backfield or tackle over sets just slightly and he can
23:06
Speaker 1: pry him and get inside a little bit. And that's
23:08
Speaker 1: when he's been more successful this year to your point.
23:10
Speaker 1: And it's a shame too, because he's got like really
23:12
Speaker 1: good hand placement and good hand uses, but he just
23:15
Speaker 1: doesn't have that dip and that bend to pull himself through.
23:18
Speaker 1: You'll see that more from Epanessa on the other side
23:20
Speaker 1: when he when aj Panessa.
23:22
Speaker 2: Wins, it's beautiful.
23:25
Speaker 1: Yes, it's some of the cleanest picture REQX picture perfect,
23:29
Speaker 1: I mean go back and.
23:30
Speaker 2: And last year reps last year.
23:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, I always think of the game against Philly when
23:38
Speaker 1: he's just scissoring and clearing hands against my lotta, he's
23:42
Speaker 1: driving him into the backfield, a little push pull through.
23:44
Speaker 2: Yeah.
23:45
Speaker 1: When he wins, it's quick, it's decisive, it's really pretty.
23:49
Speaker 1: He'll give you that and then kind of disappears for
23:51
Speaker 1: a little bit. Even the Jets game, like the again
23:53
Speaker 1: Monday night, kinda not really too effective, and then out
23:58
Speaker 1: of nowhere he's just off like two beautiful sacks where
24:01
Speaker 1: he just works Tyron Smith and you're like, oh, like okay,
24:04
Speaker 1: like that's really nice. But he's more peppered in. I
24:07
Speaker 1: don't think he's operating a consistent enough level. Even if
24:11
Speaker 1: he just flashed like that, like a quarter of a
24:14
Speaker 1: percent more, he'd be a good, a really good number two.
24:17
Speaker 1: But it feels think he's fit for more of a three. Yes,
24:21
Speaker 1: and von Miller being out I think influences that even more,
24:24
Speaker 1: Like he was against small sample size, but then using
24:27
Speaker 1: him as that closer in that pass rusher really effective,
24:30
Speaker 1: also making some plays against the run. The bend was back,
24:33
Speaker 1: the juice was back. But with him being out now
24:36
Speaker 1: you're looking at Groot Epanessa Smoot and then Javon Solomon
24:41
Speaker 1: and Casey two Hill and Spurts Smooth has been all right.
24:44
Speaker 1: I've been more just disappointed with his inability to set
24:47
Speaker 1: the edge like you can crack toss on him. It
24:48
Speaker 1: feels like all day like he's just getting reached to turn.
24:51
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think that's a fair point regarding Russeau,
24:54
Speaker 1: and I I still for me want to see like long,
24:57
Speaker 1: long term, like side know from this conversation, like what
25:00
Speaker 1: he is and what he'll be because he was so
25:02
Speaker 1: raw coming out of Miami in terms of playing that
25:04
Speaker 1: position experience in general. And I still feel like he
25:07
Speaker 1: could hit more pass for ceiling, But again, I do
25:10
Speaker 1: think it's it's limited because he's never gonna have that
25:12
Speaker 1: change direction. He's never gonna have that dip in that
25:14
Speaker 1: bend in his lower body. So it is a bit
25:17
Speaker 1: tough I'm in. I'm in a similar spot with in
25:21
Speaker 1: terms of well, all my points, I kind of view
25:23
Speaker 1: him equally, but I'm gonna use the one that ties
25:25
Speaker 1: into yours. So I just titled it like who wins
25:28
Speaker 1: the pressure battle and staying on that side of the ball.
25:32
Speaker 1: So the Titans overall right now third highest QB pressure
25:35
Speaker 1: rate allowed at forty one point eight percent, eleventh, highest
25:38
Speaker 1: on third down at forty three point five percent, thirteenth
25:41
Speaker 1: highest on third and long at forty five point five
25:44
Speaker 1: The Bills defense pressure rate overall twenty fifth on the
25:48
Speaker 1: year at thirty point two percent, ninth on third down
25:52
Speaker 1: at forty six point three percent, seventh on third and
25:55
Speaker 1: long at forty eight point six percent. This is a
25:58
Speaker 1: group that is currently missing at Oliver, though most likely
26:02
Speaker 1: to be missing him again for this game. I think
26:04
Speaker 1: they're also missing von Miller, and I wonder how effective
26:08
Speaker 1: they could be from a pass rush perspective, and knowing
26:10
Speaker 1: how much that has contributed to Will Levis's struggles at
26:15
Speaker 1: times this year, and knowing how that Bill's pass rush
26:18
Speaker 1: can disappear, And when I say disappear, it's not even like, Okay,
26:22
Speaker 1: they're not getting sacks. It's like nothing, like you're just
26:25
Speaker 1: sitting in kind of a nicely formed pocket and you're
26:28
Speaker 1: able to sit back and pick the Bills apart. At
26:30
Speaker 1: times now, their coverage has been better on the back end,
26:33
Speaker 1: even though there's some separation numbers that might suggest otherwise,
26:36
Speaker 1: but that there's been times where even against this game
26:39
Speaker 1: against the Jets, they had the I believe the lowest
26:41
Speaker 1: pressure rate in all of Week six against the Jets
26:44
Speaker 1: this past week, at like fifteen percent, and you're just
26:47
Speaker 1: not seeing that effectiveness again. The more they can get
26:49
Speaker 1: you into known passing situations and true dropback situations, they
26:54
Speaker 1: can start to eat a little bit. They've gotten better
26:57
Speaker 1: with some of their two man games as the season
26:59
Speaker 1: has gone along, but a lot of it is still clunky.
27:01
Speaker 1: Even with Smoot, who I thought one of his best
27:04
Speaker 1: attributes and watching his tape at Jacksonville was being a
27:06
Speaker 1: spiker on games that still hasn't clicked. He got guys
27:10
Speaker 1: kind of running into one another. The interior defensive line
27:14
Speaker 1: I still think is a question with this group at
27:16
Speaker 1: Oliver's out. Daikwon Jones is playing well, not necessarily the
27:20
Speaker 1: level that he was playing at last year before he
27:21
Speaker 1: got hurt. Austin Johnson has been a fine rotational guy,
27:25
Speaker 1: but not a stud. Dwayne Carter flashed positively against the
27:28
Speaker 1: run a couple weeks ago against Houston, but this past
27:30
Speaker 1: week was more kind of the man performance we've.
27:33
Speaker 2: Seen he was when I was watching like the run
27:36
Speaker 2: defense state from last week, he was one of the
27:39
Speaker 2: guys that kind of stood out in a negative way
27:41
Speaker 2: to me.
27:42
Speaker 1: He the game against I'm sorry, everything was blending in
27:45
Speaker 1: my head. The game against the Jets, you saw more
27:48
Speaker 1: of the concerns. The biggest concern I had for him
27:50
Speaker 1: coming out of Duke and watching his Duke tape was
27:53
Speaker 1: his inability to anchor against double teams, Like he would
27:56
Speaker 1: get blown out of the gap it and it's not
27:58
Speaker 1: even like Okay, I'm an anchor, or I'm gonna drop
28:02
Speaker 1: the knee or I'm gonna gum up the work. It
28:04
Speaker 1: works at some point, he was just getting blown off
28:06
Speaker 1: the line and displaced. You saw that in the preseason. Yeah,
28:09
Speaker 1: you saw that throughout the regular season at times, and
28:12
Speaker 1: I think you saw it again against the Jets, and
28:15
Speaker 1: even he made a couple of plays against Houston where
28:17
Speaker 1: he would get reached for a one on one block
28:19
Speaker 1: and then be able to undercut it and get down
28:21
Speaker 1: the line. Didn't see that as much against the Jets
28:23
Speaker 1: this week, and yeah, he was getting blown off the
28:25
Speaker 1: ball again. From a double team perspective, that's one hundred
28:27
Speaker 1: percent a worrisome aspect kind of also ties into what
28:31
Speaker 1: the defensive line is. And then even when he clicked
28:34
Speaker 1: again the Houston game was Carter's best game, you still
28:37
Speaker 1: weren't seeing a lot from a pass rush perspective as well.
28:39
Speaker 1: So I think they have questions on the interior from
28:42
Speaker 1: a pass rush perspective without Ed Oliver. And then on
28:45
Speaker 1: the edge, Yeah, what are you getting from Rousseau? How
28:49
Speaker 1: much are you getting from Epanessa? What a smooth ad two?
28:51
Speaker 1: Hill isn't really a pass rusher. He's a grinder and
28:53
Speaker 1: a hustle guy who plays the run. Javon Solomon's a
28:56
Speaker 1: rookie who with size somewhat size concerned and frame concerns.
29:00
Speaker 1: I like him and I think he's fun, but he
29:02
Speaker 1: still has to work on more of an inside move
29:04
Speaker 1: because just dipping and ripping around the corner and the
29:06
Speaker 1: cross chop is in a way that he's going to
29:08
Speaker 1: be able to consistently live at the NFL. How that
29:11
Speaker 1: pairs against right tackle for Tennessee and then Latham on
29:14
Speaker 1: the left side, I think is really interesting, and then
29:17
Speaker 1: flipping it to the other side as well. The Bills
29:19
Speaker 1: offensive line the past couple of weeks been a little
29:23
Speaker 1: shakier as they've started to play better teams, a little shaky.
29:25
Speaker 2: Because this was going to be my next point. Actually,
29:28
Speaker 2: so oh.
29:28
Speaker 1: Beautiful attick and so shaking against Baltimore. A lot of
29:32
Speaker 1: that was the game script. Baltimore's keeping them in third
29:35
Speaker 1: and long. The score got a little out of control,
29:38
Speaker 1: they had to pass more. You're in more true dropback situations,
29:41
Speaker 1: more known passing downs. Baltimore gamed up their protections, sought
29:45
Speaker 1: a little bit against Houston as well. Added into the
29:48
Speaker 1: fact that Will Anderson and de Neil Hunter are having
29:50
Speaker 1: two good years, they're a problem off the edge. But
29:53
Speaker 1: looking at this Bill's offense in terms of a pressure
29:56
Speaker 1: perspective right now, seventeenth highest QB pressure rate at thirty
29:59
Speaker 1: two point eight so bad, but the seventh highest on
30:02
Speaker 1: third down at forty five point five percent, and the
30:05
Speaker 1: highest pressure rate allowed on third and long because that's
30:08
Speaker 1: seven or more yards for those who don't know, highest
30:11
Speaker 1: pressure percent is allowed on third and long at fifty
30:13
Speaker 1: six point three percent. Now, you talked about this earlier.
30:17
Speaker 1: The Tennessee pass rush has been largely toothless. Overall, they're
30:20
Speaker 1: twenty seventh at twenty nine point seven percent. They're twenty
30:24
Speaker 1: seventh on third down at thirty three point three percent
30:27
Speaker 1: and twenty eighth on third and long at thirty four
30:29
Speaker 1: point six percent. Maybe it's just that I like Harold
30:34
Speaker 1: Landry and I kind of always have since his college days.
30:36
Speaker 1: But Landry, I think can present some opportunities against Spencer
30:40
Speaker 1: Brown with his rush style. Jeffrey Simmons, I thought had
30:43
Speaker 1: a nice return for pressures against Indianapolis. Saw some of
30:46
Speaker 1: the flashes of dominance that you are known to see
30:48
Speaker 1: from him, especially when he's healthy, wearing the kind of
30:51
Speaker 1: brace on that left elbow. I don't know how much
30:53
Speaker 1: that's impacting him or affecting him. You are, you got
30:57
Speaker 1: some pressures from Sebastian Joseph Day, you have some pop
30:59
Speaker 1: come off the edge of our key. I think this
31:02
Speaker 1: Bills offensive line is good, but I do have questions.
31:07
Speaker 1: And we've seen the past couple of weeks their ability
31:10
Speaker 1: to get gamed up by opposing defenses and they just
31:13
Speaker 1: lose one on one battles all at every spot along
31:16
Speaker 1: the offensive line. Each one of their linemen has lost
31:19
Speaker 1: a battle in a significant way at some point, some
31:21
Speaker 1: more than others. And then you pair that with Dion Dawkins.
31:25
Speaker 1: They use him in those wide splits in the run
31:27
Speaker 1: and the pass. I'm thinking of Key coming off the
31:30
Speaker 1: offense's left, you can kind of even though he's got
31:34
Speaker 1: that wide split, you can drive him back into Josh Allen,
31:37
Speaker 1: or if you set him up outside and win inside.
31:40
Speaker 1: And Key's quickness and size differential terms of being smaller
31:43
Speaker 1: but long in speed, I wonder how that plays. And again,
31:46
Speaker 1: Simmons having another week to potentially get healthier, I think
31:49
Speaker 1: could potentially be a problem. So that's really what I'm
31:51
Speaker 1: looking at, Just who wins that pressure battle between you know,
31:54
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball, offensive line, defensive line.
31:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, so like my Key was specifically the Titans defensive
32:01
Speaker 2: tackles against the Bill's guards. I don't really like worry
32:06
Speaker 2: about the edge rushers as much from a Bill's perspective.
32:11
Speaker 2: I like, it's nothing personal. I'm just not really a
32:16
Speaker 2: fan of Harold Landry. I've just I've seen the the
32:20
Speaker 2: same exact bland rush plan for years now of just
32:25
Speaker 2: like banging his head against the wall with speed rushes.
32:29
Speaker 2: Yeah win, Like he'll win with a ghost move like
32:32
Speaker 2: once every four weeks, and then he'll rack up forty
32:35
Speaker 2: pressures in six sacks all off of stunts and then
32:39
Speaker 2: like people say he's a pro Bowl level player, it's
32:42
Speaker 2: just like there's no no bull rush, no real like
32:46
Speaker 2: counter profile until last week one of the first times
32:49
Speaker 2: I've seen him win with an inside counter in years.
32:52
Speaker 1: So, I mean, he had a pressure last week against
32:54
Speaker 1: the Colts where like it was a spin move, but
32:57
Speaker 1: he didn't spin back inside clean. He just like spun
33:00
Speaker 1: into the right tackle but did it with such force
33:02
Speaker 1: and drove him back. It was like the messiest, clunkiest
33:05
Speaker 1: spin that resulted in a pressure, and I was like,
33:07
Speaker 1: this is Harold Landry, like, but I'm just here. I'm
33:09
Speaker 1: just here for it.
33:11
Speaker 2: But he is like a really good football players, like
33:14
Speaker 2: much better run defender than you would expect for his size,
33:16
Speaker 2: chases down screens, does all that stuff. Still like a
33:19
Speaker 2: starting caliber player arden Key kind of in the in
33:23
Speaker 2: the epinessa mold of just like a splash player, but
33:28
Speaker 2: not really a consistent down to down impact. For me,
33:34
Speaker 2: I feel like, you know, David Edwards does some good
33:37
Speaker 2: stuff in the run game, but he's been getting worked
33:40
Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks. I mean, quinnin Williams is explainable,
33:45
Speaker 2: but even you know the Texans defensive tackles who aren't
33:48
Speaker 2: world beaters. Just a lot of lunging and he's he's
33:52
Speaker 2: really the guy that I saw losing the most one
33:54
Speaker 2: on ones. And then I think that Osiris Torrance has
33:59
Speaker 2: been probably bettered this year. I wasn't a huge fan
34:03
Speaker 2: of his rookie year tape, especially down the stretch. This year,
34:07
Speaker 2: I've seen him losing mostly to like stunts, just some
34:12
Speaker 2: questionable awareness. I feel like, So, I feel like you could,
34:16
Speaker 2: like you said, kind of scheme some stuff up, especially
34:18
Speaker 2: against the interior, and you know, could be a way
34:22
Speaker 2: to because you know that's the defensive tackle is probably
34:25
Speaker 2: the strength of Tennessee's defense.
34:27
Speaker 1: What do you think of Tovandre Sweat so far? I
34:32
Speaker 1: had questions about like what weight he would play at,
34:36
Speaker 1: how he would approach, you know, kind of play style
34:38
Speaker 1: on the NFL, and I know there was some concerns
34:40
Speaker 1: coming out of camp. Maybe it's I had a low,
34:43
Speaker 1: borrowed low expectations. I've been pleasantly surprised with him and
34:46
Speaker 1: I thought he had some really nice flashes against the Colts,
34:48
Speaker 1: and even one that really got me there was it
34:52
Speaker 1: was like a third and eleven or third and twelve
34:55
Speaker 1: and they ran I think Colt ran like a tunnel
34:57
Speaker 1: screen and he got on his horse and chased it
35:00
Speaker 1: down like upfield by the numbers, and like Simmons like
35:04
Speaker 1: was there too and was just smacking him on the
35:05
Speaker 1: head for making like a really good play. And I
35:07
Speaker 1: was like, oh, this is really nice. And he had
35:09
Speaker 1: a couple just guys getting into him and him just
35:13
Speaker 1: chucking guards and centers and making the play in the hole.
35:15
Speaker 1: I've been pleasantly surprised with him. But what are your
35:17
Speaker 1: thoughts on him?
35:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's he was probably at this point one of
35:21
Speaker 2: my biggest misses from this draft class. I felt like,
35:25
Speaker 2: just like I thought he would be a really good
35:29
Speaker 2: like nose tackle, just kind of starting caliber, hold the
35:32
Speaker 2: point in the a gap type of player. But I
35:35
Speaker 2: felt like the I've just I've honestly been blown away
35:39
Speaker 2: by his range as a football player, like at Texas.
35:45
Speaker 2: What kind of just turned me off to his tape
35:48
Speaker 2: is in both phases you would really see a lack
35:51
Speaker 2: of pure speed and explosiveness kind of limit his playmaking ability.
35:57
Speaker 2: He's really quick laterally for his size, but he would
36:00
Speaker 2: he wouldn't really able to uh wouldn't be able to
36:03
Speaker 2: run with like outside zone. As a pass rusher. He'd
36:06
Speaker 2: get a quick win, but then the quarterback would see him,
36:10
Speaker 2: you know, coming through the a gap and would have
36:12
Speaker 2: like all day to escape the pocket, so he couldn't
36:14
Speaker 2: really convert those opportunities. Dude, Like you mentioned the the
36:19
Speaker 2: Colts screen, but if you watch the the uh the
36:23
Speaker 2: Dolphins game from the week before, I mean, he is
36:27
Speaker 2: making plays out in the alley like a Mike linebacker,
36:30
Speaker 2: like and you know, I'm sure how how much the
36:34
Speaker 2: Dolphins offense stresses the alley, like he was just eracing
36:38
Speaker 2: their outside run game. I'm like, I'm watching it. I'm like, dude,
36:41
Speaker 2: this is I mean, it's it's one of the biggest
36:44
Speaker 2: uh just discrepancies between like what I expected from their
36:51
Speaker 2: college tape and what he's shown.
36:54
Speaker 1: He's not.
36:56
Speaker 2: I still think there's limitations as a pass rusher, Like
36:59
Speaker 2: I don't. I I think he has like three or
37:02
Speaker 2: four pressures this year. You know, he is really good
37:06
Speaker 2: with his hands, and if he just had more opportunities
37:09
Speaker 2: to fire off the ball, I guess maybe he could.
37:11
Speaker 2: But like, yeah, he's he's a great runefitter, and then
37:13
Speaker 2: that's not even mentioning just being able to anchor and
37:17
Speaker 2: hold the point. So yeah, he's been really good and
37:20
Speaker 2: and really the Titans draft class, I've been extremely impressed
37:24
Speaker 2: with Jarvis Brownlee looks.
37:26
Speaker 1: Like I'm gonna be speaking, he's in my second point.
37:29
Speaker 1: I love Brownlee's like his tape against Florida State and
37:35
Speaker 1: just like the physicality.
37:37
Speaker 2: That he had that rep against Johnny Wilson. Yes, Quirk
37:41
Speaker 2: screwed him onto the ground.
37:43
Speaker 1: Yes, they were like that battle between the two of
37:47
Speaker 1: them on like run reps where they're each trying to
37:50
Speaker 1: kill the other. Was starting to get to like Marshawn Laddimore. Yeah,
37:54
Speaker 1: like Evans type level. I was almost expecting like an
37:56
Speaker 1: Andre Johnson Cortland Fittigan type scrap at some point like
37:59
Speaker 1: they and Wilson got his. But yeah, Brownly took Wilson,
38:04
Speaker 1: who is a huge man for a receiver and just
38:08
Speaker 1: violently chucked him. Like the physicality that he plays with,
38:11
Speaker 1: I'm very I'm very happy to see that it's translating
38:15
Speaker 1: to the NFL with just and I hate using this
38:17
Speaker 1: phrase because so many people like use it and it's
38:18
Speaker 1: used all the time jokingly and seriously. But Jarvis Brownley
38:22
Speaker 1: is a dog and I didn't when they when they
38:24
Speaker 1: took him, I was like, Okay, I think they're gonna
38:27
Speaker 1: use him outside because McCreery is your is your slot
38:30
Speaker 1: and your nickel dude, And yeah, I've been really happy
38:32
Speaker 1: seeing him.
38:33
Speaker 2: Do you wanna do you want to get into that now?
38:35
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, I'm gonna get into it in a minute.
38:38
Speaker 1: I just I wanted to piggyback off your point with
38:40
Speaker 1: with Sweat and I'm glad, like kind of what I
38:43
Speaker 1: saw is what has happened. And again I watched only
38:47
Speaker 1: seeing a couple of games again not that I just saw.
38:49
Speaker 1: I was like, am I not seeing the full sample size?
38:51
Speaker 1: But yeah, I've been impressed. There was even a rep
38:53
Speaker 1: this game against the Colts where Colts are in like
38:56
Speaker 1: the low red zone, I believe, and there's a double
39:00
Speaker 1: team block on both Sweat and Simmons and neither of
39:04
Speaker 1: them get moved. They both just anchor and there's no displacement,
39:08
Speaker 1: there's no movement, there's no nothing. And I was like, oh,
39:11
Speaker 1: this is like beautiful to see. I absolutely love that.
39:15
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'll move on to my second point, which
39:18
Speaker 1: includes Brownly a bit. So overall, it's just I just
39:21
Speaker 1: broad brushed it with the title. The second point, just
39:24
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans defense versus the Bills offense, and really
39:27
Speaker 1: mainly because I came away very impressed with the Titans
39:31
Speaker 1: defense in the tape that I watched in the several
39:34
Speaker 1: games and especially this most recent game against the Colts,
39:39
Speaker 1: and then watching or not watching looking up some of
39:41
Speaker 1: the metrics, I was not expecting them to be this high,
39:44
Speaker 1: especially with how the offense doesn't really put them in
39:46
Speaker 1: advantageous positions. But this Titans defense on the year seventh
39:51
Speaker 1: lowest epa per pass allowed, tenth, lowest epa per pass
39:55
Speaker 1: allowed on third down, the third lowest epa per rush
39:58
Speaker 1: per loud, behind only the Vikings and the Steelers. They're
40:01
Speaker 1: first in stuff percentage, which are runs that go for
40:05
Speaker 1: one or less yards there's zero or less tenth in
40:08
Speaker 1: lowest yards before contact before carry or tenth lowest yards
40:12
Speaker 1: before contact per carry, tenth, lowest yards after contact per carry. Overall,
40:16
Speaker 1: their ninth and DV away tenth against the path passed
40:19
Speaker 1: six against the run. Sebastian Joseph Day is second in
40:22
Speaker 1: the NFL, and stop percentage Simmons is twenty first. I
40:27
Speaker 1: know Sneid has struggled, but watching they just play on
40:29
Speaker 1: the outside of style of defense that I gravitate towards,
40:32
Speaker 1: where like Snead and Brownly are up in press, whether
40:35
Speaker 1: it's a true press and a jam with it or
40:37
Speaker 1: a soft shoe. And I like what they're doing with
40:40
Speaker 1: some of their coverage stuff. I also think they can
40:43
Speaker 1: be a bit of a foil for the Bills. They
40:45
Speaker 1: have a forty five percent single higher coverage rate on
40:47
Speaker 1: the year, twenty one percent Cover one, twenty four percent
40:50
Speaker 1: Cover three. The Bills have struggled against single high. They've
40:53
Speaker 1: struggled to separate, They've struggled to win outside the numbers.
40:57
Speaker 1: They've struggled to get vertical. We'll see how much of
40:59
Speaker 1: Mary Cooper and how much that changes. But Lagario's need
41:03
Speaker 1: traditionally has done well against the Bills receivers. That goes
41:06
Speaker 1: back to the Stefan Diggs days, even though Diggs got
41:08
Speaker 1: him from time to time. But I just saw a
41:10
Speaker 1: lot of things schematically. I like to the second interception
41:13
Speaker 1: for the Colts. I like they're playing cover two. Snead
41:17
Speaker 1: is trying to bait Flacco and he's trying to jump,
41:20
Speaker 1: which he tech technically should, but he's trying to jump
41:24
Speaker 1: the route in the hook knowing that Diggs is over
41:26
Speaker 1: the top on the on the vertical, going up the sideline,
41:30
Speaker 1: McCreary jumps the stick in the curl and then you
41:33
Speaker 1: have Hooker reading the dig. He drives on it, pops
41:37
Speaker 1: it into the air, Kenneth Murray goes up picks it.
41:41
Speaker 1: You're seeing some match coverage elements and or elements where
41:45
Speaker 1: they're just locking the outside corners against the number one
41:48
Speaker 1: to their side. Again either impressed and just even if
41:51
Speaker 1: they're not really physical in the stems, Roger McCurry's like
41:55
Speaker 1: picking up and spine busting Moli Cox and like covering
41:58
Speaker 1: down on down against the Colts, and to tie it
42:02
Speaker 1: all through with Brownlee, just the physicality. And I know
42:05
Speaker 1: that's gonna result in some flags, whether it's past interference
42:07
Speaker 1: or legal contact from time to time, but he is
42:10
Speaker 1: getting into guy's faces with regularity, like he did at Louisville,
42:14
Speaker 1: like he did on tape. And I think that's a
42:16
Speaker 1: really successful recipe given how the bills of receivers have
42:20
Speaker 1: struggled to separate at any point, whether it's the underneath,
42:24
Speaker 1: whether it's the intermediate, but especially vertical. I'm taking snead
42:27
Speaker 1: and I'm taking Brownlee, and I'm putting them in press,
42:31
Speaker 1: whether soft shoe or honestly, I would play true press.
42:33
Speaker 1: I'm telling them Brownlee, like, I don't care who's on
42:35
Speaker 1: your side, get into their face and put both hands
42:39
Speaker 1: or at least one into that chest. If you don't
42:41
Speaker 1: want to get too aggressive with a two hand jam,
42:43
Speaker 1: that's fine, But I don't trust a lot of the
42:45
Speaker 1: release packages for these Bills receivers on the outside. At least,
42:49
Speaker 1: I'm attacking them all day, playing aggressive. I like some
42:52
Speaker 1: of the simulated and creeper pressure stuff that they're doing
42:56
Speaker 1: under Wilson and what some of their five man stuff
42:58
Speaker 1: that has looked like. I came away very impressed with
43:01
Speaker 1: the Titans defense schematically and with several of their individual
43:05
Speaker 1: players and just watching the tape, and I'm very interested
43:09
Speaker 1: interested to see all that meshes with the struggles we've
43:13
Speaker 1: seen from the Bills offense overall, but especially just trying
43:17
Speaker 1: to find anything within structure for the past game. Like
43:20
Speaker 1: they it's it's a real slog right now for him,
43:22
Speaker 1: and I think the Titans can be another team that
43:24
Speaker 1: can give them problems in that area.
43:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Wilson's Denard Wilson, the defensive coordinator. His
43:30
Speaker 2: first press conference, he was like, we press everything, so yeah,
43:35
Speaker 2: it's it's an aggressive defense. That's a lot of fun
43:38
Speaker 2: to watch, especially you know when you're studying the corners. Yeah,
43:42
Speaker 2: Bromley has been an absolute revelation. Like his his performance
43:48
Speaker 2: against the Colts. I mean he had several nice clean
43:50
Speaker 2: pass breakups and then an interception that was called back
43:54
Speaker 2: for a penalty.
43:55
Speaker 1: I hated that. I hated that.
43:57
Speaker 2: I did that like Paul, and that's that's not even
43:59
Speaker 2: a Titan fan bias thing. I'm just like always not always,
44:04
Speaker 2: but almost always on the defensive back side, and let all.
44:09
Speaker 1: The rules are for the offense. Let him get a
44:11
Speaker 1: little handsy. I didn't think, I know, we got called
44:13
Speaker 1: for legal contact. I didn't think it was that bad.
44:15
Speaker 1: He didn't even ride him past five that much. And
44:17
Speaker 1: then he lets off and it's a real pretty interception
44:20
Speaker 1: right in the front pylon. Like I was pumped. I
44:22
Speaker 1: did not like that flag.
44:23
Speaker 2: I was right there with you, like as it's just
44:25
Speaker 2: as somebody who's where cornerback is my favorite position to
44:28
Speaker 2: watch by far, like There's nothing I love than a
44:31
Speaker 2: just high quality press man rep. And then you've got
44:35
Speaker 2: one a great one that just gets kind of a
44:37
Speaker 2: race from history. But uh yeah, so love what love
44:42
Speaker 2: what Brownley's been doing. You know, we talked about the
44:45
Speaker 2: pass rush some money. Hooker's really solid and then Roger
44:49
Speaker 2: mccrurry kind of same boat, just like a solid, you know,
44:51
Speaker 2: seven point five out of ten type of player. I
44:55
Speaker 2: think really the two X factors and points that could
44:58
Speaker 2: be exploited for the Bills is number one, Like lagerious
45:03
Speaker 2: need has to start playing better. I mean he has been.
45:06
Speaker 2: It's been a nightmare season. The Colts game was the
45:11
Speaker 2: first one where he was like really uh punished for
45:14
Speaker 2: it and actually ended up giving up a lot of yards.
45:18
Speaker 2: But I mean he's he's had just so many missed
45:23
Speaker 2: opportunities by like drops and overthrows and and like really,
45:29
Speaker 2: I I'm concerned the Titans. I'm concerned that the Titans
45:34
Speaker 2: kind of got got did on that one because he
45:37
Speaker 2: looks slow to me, like I and he he doesn't
45:40
Speaker 2: practice because he's got like a degenerative leg issue or something,
45:45
Speaker 2: and like and it's been like that since he was
45:48
Speaker 2: with the Chiefs. But yeah, man, I don't know, I
45:53
Speaker 2: need to see some good play from lagerious Needer. I
45:55
Speaker 2: think they might have wasted a lot of money in
45:58
Speaker 2: a third round pick. So yeah, that's that's uh, that's
46:02
Speaker 2: the one number one point. And then I think also
46:05
Speaker 2: Kenneth Murray is still kind of a cat chasing a
46:08
Speaker 2: laser pointer type of player. He's made some nice plays,
46:12
Speaker 2: like when he can just run and hit, but if
46:15
Speaker 2: you can get a nice creative play call to attack him,
46:18
Speaker 2: I think, you know, get him, get him out in
46:21
Speaker 2: space with James Cook. You know, I think Cook something
46:25
Speaker 2: up no pun intended and could get some big plays there.
46:29
Speaker 1: I love the cat with the laser pointer analogy for
46:32
Speaker 1: Murray because it's so spot on and I'm even thinking
46:34
Speaker 1: there's a there was a screen on a first down
46:37
Speaker 1: for the Colts and he reads it and sees it
46:39
Speaker 1: and see ball, get ball, and he shot out of
46:41
Speaker 1: a cannon and makes the attack for like a six
46:43
Speaker 1: yard loss and then you see him just flying it
46:46
Speaker 1: off the handle and over pursuing and just yeah, he's
46:48
Speaker 1: the cat with like the laser pointer. And but when
46:50
Speaker 1: it works, it's beautiful and that goes I mean, but
46:53
Speaker 1: that was the same with Oklahoma. It was the same
46:55
Speaker 1: with his time at the Chargers, and you think, like, man, like,
46:58
Speaker 1: look at that guy, but if you watchim with the
47:00
Speaker 1: sample size, you're like, oh, like never mind, Like I
47:02
Speaker 1: kind of and it's a shame because the athleticism is there,
47:05
Speaker 1: the juice is there, the burst is there. Yeah, I
47:08
Speaker 1: really am intrigued by the defense, even like at edge,
47:11
Speaker 1: like Jalen Harrel's making some nice plays like set in
47:14
Speaker 1: the edge a little bit and banging with some tackles
47:16
Speaker 1: and getting through tight ends. He has a couple of
47:18
Speaker 1: pressures as well. Sebastian Joseph Day I thought looked really
47:21
Speaker 1: good against the coast with some good pass rush reps.
47:24
Speaker 1: And then again from a numbers perspective, second in the
47:27
Speaker 1: NFL and stop percentage, and that's not even just amongst
47:29
Speaker 1: like defensive linemen, that's amongst like every player that's played
47:33
Speaker 1: at least twenty percent of snap so far run defense
47:35
Speaker 1: snaps and it's like over almost like five hundred dudes.
47:39
Speaker 1: So seeing how that how he's been effective there, Yeah,
47:41
Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting to. Like I had a bunch of
47:45
Speaker 1: stuff as like I take notes and chart everything. I
47:49
Speaker 1: timestamp stuff for like that I want to clip or
47:51
Speaker 1: like tweet later and want to dude, twelve, I've got
47:56
Speaker 1: twelve Titans defense plays that I will be tweeting out
48:00
Speaker 1: like over the couple of days in the next couple
48:01
Speaker 1: of days. Like I was just real I expected like
48:03
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons to do Jeffrey Simmons things, but I was
48:06
Speaker 1: impressed with Sweat even further. And then a couple of
48:09
Speaker 1: plays from a careery and yeah, just watching Brownlee like
48:12
Speaker 1: mash and getting to do and there's not a lot
48:15
Speaker 1: of airspace. He's riding guys through physically and he's staying
48:19
Speaker 1: in phase. And again, I think it's another The Bills
48:24
Speaker 1: have seen multiple teams, you know, starting with Baltimore, you know,
48:27
Speaker 1: being able to constrict airspace, and then how the Texans
48:31
Speaker 1: wanted to play. They went single high. Again they have Stingley,
48:34
Speaker 1: which is really nice, and then lasted Or who can
48:35
Speaker 1: hold his own. But the teams that have the ability
48:38
Speaker 1: to go single high, it could be Cover one or
48:41
Speaker 1: Cover three. But the teams that have the ability to
48:42
Speaker 1: go Cover one and then who have an athletic linebacker
48:46
Speaker 1: who can aggressive spy. Josh Allen works for defenses We
48:50
Speaker 1: saw Baltimore do it with Kyle Hamilton, Roquan and Simpson.
48:54
Speaker 1: We saw the Texans do it with Al Shaire and
48:56
Speaker 1: it worked well. And then I look here at the Actually,
49:01
Speaker 1: we're gonna work a bit for the Jets from time
49:03
Speaker 1: to time with Quincy and sure where they didn't do
49:05
Speaker 1: it a ton. But I look at the Titans and
49:09
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there like, Okay, I think with what Brownlee
49:12
Speaker 1: can do, and I know Sneedis has struggled, but I
49:14
Speaker 1: don't think the Bills wide receivers on the outside are
49:17
Speaker 1: necessarily like world beaters. And then I look at Ernest
49:21
Speaker 1: Jones and Kenneth Murray, but more particularly Murray, and I'm
49:24
Speaker 1: just playing cover one hole and I'm just having essentially
49:28
Speaker 1: like Murray play a real low hole, aggressive spy. I'm
49:31
Speaker 1: trusting Simmons to try and get Alan off the spot,
49:34
Speaker 1: or if not him, someone else. And I'm telling Murray,
49:37
Speaker 1: you know, as soon as Alan goes anywhere left or
49:41
Speaker 1: right outside the pocket, you close. He he is the laser.
49:45
Speaker 1: You are the cat. Chase him, catch him, put your
49:48
Speaker 1: paw on it. You're not gonna be able to get
49:49
Speaker 1: it because it's a laser and you're gonna keep doing this.
49:51
Speaker 1: But I really do think they have the opportunity to
49:53
Speaker 1: kind of be a foil for a bit for the Bills,
49:55
Speaker 1: because not only can they, you know, get physical, but
49:58
Speaker 1: they can do it from a man average perspective and
50:00
Speaker 1: a press perspective. Or again, even if it's just cover three,
50:03
Speaker 1: it's still going to play like one on one on
50:05
Speaker 1: the outside, especially on the backside. And then if they
50:08
Speaker 1: throw in the match coverage elements, they can play that
50:10
Speaker 1: way as well. I'm wondering how much of Marty Cooper
50:14
Speaker 1: gets used, how much has he introduced? Is it a
50:17
Speaker 1: packages is it kind of working him in a little
50:20
Speaker 1: by little, because I do think he can help them
50:22
Speaker 1: in that area, although I don't think and I talk
50:25
Speaker 1: about this in the Film Room episode that we dropped
50:27
Speaker 1: earlier tonight. A lot of people are showing the twenty
50:29
Speaker 1: twenty three a Marti Cooper highlights and they're like, oh
50:32
Speaker 1: my god, this dude's amazing. What to get? Twenty twenty
50:34
Speaker 1: four of Marty Cooper is not moving like twenty twenty
50:37
Speaker 1: three of Marty Cooper. I don't know if he lost
50:38
Speaker 1: a step. I don't know if he's playing heavier. I
50:41
Speaker 1: don't know if he is miserable there and you were
50:44
Speaker 1: seeing it reflected and how much he was trying or
50:46
Speaker 1: not trying. But regardless, I do think he's an upgrade
50:49
Speaker 1: for that room, and I wonder how that factors in.
50:52
Speaker 1: But yeah, I really do like a lot of what
50:54
Speaker 1: the Titans are doing on their own in a vacuum
50:56
Speaker 1: schematically and with individual players. But then how they match
50:59
Speaker 1: up with the Bills defense. I think they could get
51:02
Speaker 1: the I'm sorry, the Bills offense. I really do think
51:03
Speaker 1: they could give him problems.
51:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it, the Titans and Bills. I feel like,
51:11
Speaker 2: has there been a there's one blowout maybe for the Bills.
51:14
Speaker 2: It's always been a really like competitive series. Yeah, there's
51:19
Speaker 2: the one like early in the season a couple of
51:21
Speaker 2: years ago. It was a blowout for the Bills the.
51:24
Speaker 1: Monday night game. That's where Michael Hyde hurt his neck
51:28
Speaker 1: and like real late in the game, Yeah, Milano had
51:30
Speaker 1: an interception, Digs went wild the like it was a
51:33
Speaker 1: Monday night game. I think like Week two. All I
51:36
Speaker 1: remember about that game is I remember it was a blowout,
51:41
Speaker 1: but I really remember McCreery playing on the outside and
51:47
Speaker 1: just free access RPOs to Diggs left and right, like
51:50
Speaker 1: it was just like not even glances, just free like
51:53
Speaker 1: take I'm giving you ten yards a cushion and they
51:55
Speaker 1: just pepper Diggs left and right and then Alan actually
51:57
Speaker 1: hit him for a deep shot. But yeah, traditionally it's
51:59
Speaker 1: always been and even going back to the stupid Music
52:03
Speaker 1: City Miracle, which scarred me for the entirety of my life.
52:06
Speaker 1: Was a poor, poor, poor young little.
52:08
Speaker 2: My dad went to that game and like he watched
52:11
Speaker 2: the Music City Miracle standing in the aisle, like they
52:16
Speaker 2: got up. They they got up basically like all right,
52:19
Speaker 2: this game's over, let's watch and then like the play starts,
52:21
Speaker 2: they kind of turned back around to be like all right,
52:23
Speaker 2: let's see what they do.
52:25
Speaker 1: That's sick.
52:26
Speaker 2: But it could have so easily been one of those
52:29
Speaker 2: stories where he was in the car on the way
52:32
Speaker 2: because like a lot of people had left two stadium.
52:35
Speaker 1: My my dad's claimed a fame as a Bills fan.
52:38
Speaker 1: Him and my uncle they were at the big comeback
52:41
Speaker 1: game against the Oilers in the playoffs, and they left
52:45
Speaker 1: at halftime and then tried to get back into the
52:48
Speaker 1: stadium when the comeback started happening. But they couldn't and
52:51
Speaker 1: so everyone in the family never lets them live that
52:53
Speaker 1: down for like not your true fans. And you left early.
52:56
Speaker 1: You left the greatest Bills you ever, Like how could you? Yeah? Man,
53:00
Speaker 1: that uh oh that means the City Miracle game still
53:02
Speaker 1: kills me. Flutie should have started. He didn't know why
53:06
Speaker 1: are you? Why are why are we chasing Frank Wychek
53:09
Speaker 1: running horizontally like what that Oh it's still.
53:14
Speaker 2: I didn't even see it live, Like that's that's kind
53:16
Speaker 2: of before my time, so it's fairy.
53:18
Speaker 1: I was, yeah, I was just that was That's one
53:20
Speaker 1: of my earliest, like Bills football memories. I was a
53:22
Speaker 1: little kid that one. And it's so random that one.
53:24
Speaker 1: And then a couple of years before, they played the
53:28
Speaker 1: Jags in like the wild card round and Natron means
53:32
Speaker 1: and like Mark Brunell and the Jags like ran all
53:34
Speaker 1: over him, and so like, my two earliest football memories
53:37
Speaker 1: are the Bills are getting housed by the Jags at
53:39
Speaker 1: home in the playoffs and then yeah, the stupid Music
53:42
Speaker 1: City Miracle. I remember just being a little kid like
53:44
Speaker 1: because Flutie played that year, and I remember being a
53:47
Speaker 1: little kid like asking like every adult like Why isn't
53:50
Speaker 1: Doug Flutie playing? Why isn't Doug Flutie playing? And nobody
53:53
Speaker 1: had an answer for me, and Rob Johnson didn't even
53:55
Speaker 1: play horrible, but yeah, they I remember that, And I
53:58
Speaker 1: also remember being that little kid who I thought Javon
54:01
Speaker 1: Curse was like the coolest dude ever, like the freak
54:04
Speaker 1: and just a monster rookie year Like, I was all
54:07
Speaker 1: about how nasty Javon Curse was and yeah, and man,
54:12
Speaker 1: it's my first football jersey, John Curse.
54:15
Speaker 2: Yep. Nice.
54:17
Speaker 1: I had this sick like Javon Curse Florida Gators card
54:21
Speaker 1: when I was little, and I thought that was cool
54:23
Speaker 1: and then he just blew up as a rookie and
54:25
Speaker 1: like how nasty that defense was? And oh yeah, good times,
54:28
Speaker 1: good times. Speaking of good times, James, I want to
54:33
Speaker 1: pull something up and related to our sponsor for this episode,
54:38
Speaker 1: our friends and folks over there at bet US. I
54:42
Speaker 1: want to let me share my screen really quick, and
54:45
Speaker 1: I kind of want to get your thoughts on this
54:47
Speaker 1: right now as I share this right here, sure this
54:54
Speaker 1: right here, bear with me, all right? So from our
54:56
Speaker 1: friends over there at bet US, I pulled up the
54:59
Speaker 1: Super Bowl odds for this current season twenty twenty five winner, obviously,
55:03
Speaker 1: because's when the Super Bowl be there. The Bills sit
55:05
Speaker 1: here with the fourth highest odds as we look at
55:08
Speaker 1: it right now for the audio only listeners, The Chiefs
55:11
Speaker 1: are first at plus five hundred nine or second at
55:13
Speaker 1: plus seven hundred, Ravens third at seven fifty, and then
55:16
Speaker 1: we've got the Bills and Lions technically tied for fourth
55:19
Speaker 1: at plus one thousand, the Texans at plus eleven hundred,
55:22
Speaker 1: and the Sam Darnold Vikings rounding out the top seven
55:26
Speaker 1: at plus twelve hundred. What do you think about these
55:28
Speaker 1: Super Bowl odds? You think they're fair overall? You could
55:31
Speaker 1: be in a Bill's lens, whatever your thoughts are. Do
55:33
Speaker 1: you think there's a team that's missing? Do you think
55:35
Speaker 1: there's a team here in the top seven that doesn't belong?
55:37
Speaker 1: What do you think?
55:39
Speaker 2: So? My first thought when I saw this is I
55:43
Speaker 2: wonder what the Lions were before the Aiden Hutchinson injury,
55:46
Speaker 2: because I mean, I like, with Josh Pascal as your
55:53
Speaker 2: number one edge rusher, it's like there's just there's no
55:57
Speaker 2: way and it sucks, dude, Like it sucks so much
56:01
Speaker 2: because I mean, man, he was having an insane season.
56:04
Speaker 2: It did all come against backup tackles, but like one
56:07
Speaker 2: of the I mean it really a historically lucky run
56:12
Speaker 2: of like level of competition, gotta say, but just a
56:17
Speaker 2: one of the best technicians as far as like having
56:19
Speaker 2: a pass rushing plan that you can tell is not
56:22
Speaker 2: it's not just like throwing a bunch of stuff against
56:24
Speaker 2: the wall and seeing what works, Like he really sets
56:26
Speaker 2: stuff up. I feel like the Bills is pretty fair,
56:30
Speaker 2: like that's that's probably where I would put them. You know,
56:34
Speaker 2: still got faith in the forty nine ers, which I
56:36
Speaker 2: think I would as well. And Vikings, I just I don't.
56:43
Speaker 2: I don't buy Sam Darnold yet. I think that a
56:47
Speaker 2: lot of people talk about it like we're still waiting
56:49
Speaker 2: on him to kind of have a bad performance, but
56:52
Speaker 2: I feel like he's already had that. Like the Jets
56:55
Speaker 2: game was really rough, So I would not put money
56:59
Speaker 2: on the Vikings. But yeah, I think that. I think
57:04
Speaker 2: Chiefs even though, man, it's hard with the Chiefs because
57:09
Speaker 2: like you can't better against them because they just kind
57:11
Speaker 2: of like stumble through. They do this stumble through the
57:14
Speaker 2: regular man turn it on. But Patrick Mahomes is not
57:18
Speaker 2: playing well and this is the first year where I mean,
57:22
Speaker 2: this is as bad as he's played like, so yeah,
57:27
Speaker 2: I mean they really have to turn it around like
57:29
Speaker 2: they always seem to do. I would go I would
57:32
Speaker 2: go Ravens if I was if I was picking.
57:34
Speaker 3: Oh.
57:34
Speaker 1: I like that part of me still. And I don't
57:38
Speaker 1: know if it's because I'm still like in love with
57:41
Speaker 1: it with Nico Collins and like the Texans tape from
57:43
Speaker 1: this past offseason, but I feel I feel like the
57:45
Speaker 1: Texans still haven't hit. I don't even like three quarters
57:50
Speaker 1: of what they're ceiling can be offensively this year, and
57:53
Speaker 1: that makes me feel like the Texans should be higher,
57:56
Speaker 1: like and I know, I know there's some questions.
57:58
Speaker 2: Defense obviously is not the dude.
58:02
Speaker 1: But I feel like Stroud is with the pieces. Like
58:07
Speaker 1: I think Stroud is such a good Shanahan system quarterback
58:09
Speaker 1: because of how he can fit between the numbers and
58:11
Speaker 1: how he works there and operates, and how that pairs
58:13
Speaker 1: with Collins on inbreakers. If the line can just I
58:18
Speaker 1: don't think they're the worst town on the line, but
58:20
Speaker 1: the line just can't put things together. I feel like
58:22
Speaker 1: the combo of Stroud and the weapons and tunsl and
58:26
Speaker 1: the line being enough and then Anderson, Hunter and Stingley
58:31
Speaker 1: is enough to kind of propel them if the offense
58:33
Speaker 1: can kind of hit their stride and it hit a
58:35
Speaker 1: bit more of their ceiling. They're just like this wild
58:39
Speaker 1: card team for me, Like I put them in like
58:41
Speaker 1: the in the upper tier for the AFC conversation. I
58:43
Speaker 1: still think Baltimore and Kansas City are better teams holistically,
58:47
Speaker 1: but part of me keeps coming back to the Texans
58:49
Speaker 1: to see them as like they still haven't hit their
58:52
Speaker 1: stride and if they hit that stride, it could be
58:54
Speaker 1: really scary.
58:56
Speaker 2: Still, yeah, and I think, like for me, yeah, it's
59:01
Speaker 2: like they've got to either start run blocking better or
59:03
Speaker 2: just abandon the early down runs because they're just relying
59:06
Speaker 2: on Stroud to bail them out of uh long you know,
59:10
Speaker 2: long yardage situations. For the Bills, It's like I I
59:16
Speaker 2: think I ranked the Bills fifth in my power rankings
59:19
Speaker 2: this season, so I was not selling the Bills stock
59:22
Speaker 2: despite the fact that they lost a lot of like
59:24
Speaker 2: big name players. But my biggest concern was receiver outside
59:29
Speaker 2: of Khalil Shakira, and like that's still clearly my biggest concern,
59:32
Speaker 2: and so if Amari Cooper can be something for them
59:37
Speaker 2: and step up from what he's done this year. That
59:39
Speaker 2: that's the real X factor for the Bills. I just
59:42
Speaker 2: worry about, you know, third down, gotta have it situation,
59:48
Speaker 2: can you beat Man coverage. It's just, you know, my
59:51
Speaker 2: biggest concern.
59:52
Speaker 1: I'm in a similar but what I kind of want
59:53
Speaker 1: to see what this offense can look like from a
59:54
Speaker 1: Florida and ceiling perspective now with Cooper and if they
59:58
Speaker 1: if he can help them succeed more instruction. Sure, from
1:00:00
Speaker 1: the past game perspective, I'll buy into it more, but
1:00:03
Speaker 1: right now, I just feel like I've got too much
1:00:05
Speaker 1: trepidation and I appreciate them being, you know, fourth right
1:00:08
Speaker 1: now we're technically, you know, tie for fourth with the Lions.
1:00:10
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm not holistically all the way there. But
1:00:12

1:00:58
Speaker 1: there at bet us. Yeah, never too really talk about
1:01:00
Speaker 1: Super Bowl odds and that conversation piece James, your did
1:01:05
Speaker 1: do you? You did we talk about your third and
1:01:07
Speaker 1: final piece? Was it related to Browne or do you
1:01:08
Speaker 1: have a separate piece?
1:01:10
Speaker 2: Uh no, we haven't. Yeah, I've got a fourth. So
1:01:14
Speaker 2: this is kind of a kind of like cheating. But
1:01:17
Speaker 2: I said, Will Levis versus himself, I have a.
1:01:21
Speaker 1: Similar one from my third point, Okay, I like it, Yeah,
1:01:23
Speaker 1: cause you know, and we've we've talked a lot about
1:01:27
Speaker 1: Will Levis and how Titans games have kind of played
1:01:30
Speaker 1: out this year, but.
1:01:33
Speaker 2: They've pretty much all followed the same script where they
1:01:38
Speaker 2: play really like a conservative ball control plan. They're winning
1:01:44
Speaker 2: seventeen to ten, thirteen to ten, round the end of
1:01:47
Speaker 2: the third quarter, and then you're just waiting for is
1:01:51
Speaker 2: Will Levis gonna throw just a standard interception or is
1:01:54
Speaker 2: he going to throw an interception that we've never seen
1:01:56
Speaker 2: anything like before and it's going to be a meme
1:01:58
Speaker 2: like So, yeah, if Will Levis can can put together
1:02:04
Speaker 2: a clean, efficient game, the Titans, you know, play good
1:02:09
Speaker 2: man coverage against the Bills, I could see them winning
1:02:12
Speaker 2: twenty to seventeen. Don't think it's a super high likelihood,
1:02:16
Speaker 2: but definitely within the range of outcomes. But this is
1:02:21
Speaker 2: just it's not an offense that has the explosiveness to
1:02:27
Speaker 2: make up for those, you know, backbreaking, game changing plays.
1:02:32
Speaker 1: I agree, I'm I'm pleased with myself with what I
1:02:36
Speaker 1: titled this point. So it's similar to yours, but I
1:02:38
Speaker 1: titled they'd add more chapters to the Will Levis experience.
1:02:42
Speaker 1: Out of thirty one qualifying qbs this year, he is
1:02:46
Speaker 1: thirty first in EPA per drop back at negative zero
1:02:49
Speaker 1: point four two. He's thirtieth in EPA at negative sixty
1:02:52
Speaker 1: four point five. He's thirty first in rating. He leads
1:02:56
Speaker 1: the league in interceptions. He's thirteenth in a positive way
1:02:58
Speaker 1: in completely percentage over expected, ninth in air yards per attempt.
1:03:03
Speaker 1: He does have the fourth highest tight window throw percentage,
1:03:06
Speaker 1: which is the percentage of passes where the targeted receiver
1:03:08
Speaker 1: has less than one yard of separation when the pass arrives.
1:03:11
Speaker 1: He has the seventh highest sacks per game. And then
1:03:15
Speaker 1: overall how that ties into the Titans offense. They're thirtieth
1:03:18
Speaker 1: in passing dv Away, fourteenth on the ground. I like
1:03:22
Speaker 1: some of the things we see in the run game,
1:03:24
Speaker 1: especially on that left side with Skeronsky and Latham, such
1:03:27
Speaker 1: with how big and powerful Latham is when he really
1:03:29
Speaker 1: gets going. And I do like Tony Pollard, and I
1:03:31
Speaker 1: like Taja Spears, and I think they have the opportunity
1:03:35
Speaker 1: to kind of break plays for you if you give
1:03:37
Speaker 1: them a crease. They have the speed to do it.
1:03:39
Speaker 1: They have the athleticism, they have the juice. If you
1:03:42
Speaker 1: are the Bills defense, you have to just make this
1:03:44
Speaker 1: like a Well Levis game, like whatever it is. And
1:03:46
Speaker 1: if you roll the dice and Will Levis is the
1:03:48
Speaker 1: prince that was promised, then he beats you like you
1:03:50
Speaker 1: literally just tip your cap and go okay, but you
1:03:53
Speaker 1: cannot allow the screen game to get going. You cannot
1:03:56
Speaker 1: allow the run game to get going. You have to
1:03:58
Speaker 1: put the onus onto Will Levis, and he is shown
1:04:01
Speaker 1: that when that onus gets put onto him, it hasn't
1:04:05
Speaker 1: worked out. He's, like you said, even just the turnovers.
1:04:07
Speaker 1: It's not even that he turns the ball over. It's
1:04:09
Speaker 1: like the spectacular level at which he turns the ball
1:04:12
Speaker 1: over and makes these decisions that you're just like wow,
1:04:16
Speaker 1: Like he he makes like he makes he makes turnovers
1:04:20
Speaker 1: and like botches like an art form. Like and I'm
1:04:23
Speaker 1: not even like trying to make a joke, Like it's
1:04:25
Speaker 1: genuinely impressive the way he finds a way to one
1:04:27
Speaker 1: up himself every week.
1:04:28
Speaker 2: He threw an interception last week against the Colts that
1:04:30
Speaker 2: was like a bad play but just kind of you know,
1:04:33
Speaker 2: thrown into double coverage deep down the field, and I
1:04:35
Speaker 2: was literally like, okay, that's fun. Yeah, you know, defense
1:04:38
Speaker 2: catches it on their own ten yard line. I've seen
1:04:40
Speaker 2: plenty of bad quarterbacks do that. It's yeah, gonna mean it.
1:04:43
Speaker 1: We're good. Josh does it all the time, Like, yeah,
1:04:46
Speaker 1: that's fine to give you a little self a little
1:04:48
Speaker 1: arm punt, it's fine. Yeah, but he just the spectacularity
1:04:51
Speaker 1: to which he fails at times. He's just nuts. And
1:04:56
Speaker 1: you know you've got Calvin Ridley talking about not being
1:04:59
Speaker 1: involved early enough, and you know his production is pretty
1:05:03
Speaker 1: much non existent. And don't allow Calvin Redley to get going.
1:05:07
Speaker 1: He had a he had again, different offense, different quarterback,
1:05:10
Speaker 1: but he looked very good against the Bills last year
1:05:12
Speaker 1: in that game in London with the Jags, Like, do
1:05:14
Speaker 1: not remember that.
1:05:15
Speaker 2: He was he was working Kyrie Elam on his comebacks. Yeah.
1:05:19
Speaker 1: Man, he looked like a true number one in that game.
1:05:21
Speaker 1: Like the pacing, the deception, the speed, the athleticism. Yeah,
1:05:26
Speaker 1: he looked every bit the part, like the kind of
1:05:28
Speaker 1: the guy that Trevor Lawrence needed. But it was not
1:05:31
Speaker 1: to be a Lass. But yeah, you cannot allow anything
1:05:36
Speaker 1: to help that helps Will Levis. Like you can allow that.
1:05:38
Speaker 1: I'm even fine with the Bills just sitting there and
1:05:41
Speaker 1: like show a seven man box NonStop. I'm fine with
1:05:44
Speaker 1: you like crowding the box and just do not let
1:05:47
Speaker 1: the run game get going. Force Will Levis to live
1:05:50
Speaker 1: outside the numbers. If he beats you again if he's
1:05:52
Speaker 1: throwing dimes and chucking it all over the field. Okay,
1:05:55
Speaker 1: like again, you tip your cap and it is what
1:05:57
Speaker 1: it is. But you need to be Do not be
1:06:00
Speaker 1: that defense that everyone's like, oh, is Will Levis like
1:06:04
Speaker 1: finally turning the corner because he threw for you know,
1:06:07
Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty nine yards and three touchdowns against
1:06:09
Speaker 1: the Bills in Buffalo, Like, do not let that happen.
1:06:12
Speaker 1: Do not be that defense. Put the onus onto him
1:06:15
Speaker 1: and make him change a little bit if he possibly can. Yeah,
1:06:21
Speaker 1: that that that's my my spot, like just and I
1:06:24
Speaker 1: don't know if it's like because I've watched so much
1:06:26
Speaker 1: Bills my entire life, Like it's always in the back
1:06:30
Speaker 1: of my mind of like, oh, this is the game
1:06:31
Speaker 1: where he goes for like three thirty and like three
1:06:34
Speaker 1: touchdowns and no picks, and he goes like, yeah, like
1:06:37
Speaker 1: twenty nine of thirty four for three hundred and thirty
1:06:40
Speaker 1: seven yards and three touchdowns, so they get.
1:06:42
Speaker 2: I even think I think the Will Levis breakdown stat line,
1:06:46
Speaker 2: even though it would be something more like twelve for
1:06:50
Speaker 2: twenty one three hundred and twenty yards, four touchdowns, two
1:06:55
Speaker 2: picks or something like average twenty five yards of completion
1:06:59
Speaker 2: at least based on last year. This year, I think
1:07:02
Speaker 2: he threw threw a couple of interceptions early and then
1:07:06
Speaker 2: Callahan just they did they did something to just kind
1:07:10
Speaker 2: of neuter him, like, yeah, he won't he's not He's
1:07:15
Speaker 2: really not aggressively pushing the ball downfield this year, which
1:07:18
Speaker 2: you know, like I've said, makes the turnovers even more inexcusable.
1:07:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's weird because I feel like, okay that
1:07:24
Speaker 1: I feel like if he's cutting down on that, he
1:07:26
Speaker 1: should be cutting down on like the overall like boneheadedness
1:07:30
Speaker 1: or risk riskiness that comes with some of those turnovers
1:07:32
Speaker 1: because he's not pushing the ball, but then he's not
1:07:35
Speaker 1: pushing the ball, but then also like pushing the ball
1:07:38
Speaker 1: figuratively with these turnovers. D It's just like this really weird,
1:07:42
Speaker 1: like cat chasing its tail type of scenario with Levis
1:07:45
Speaker 1: and this offense. Yeah, I'm very perplexed by him, and
1:07:49
Speaker 1: I'm interested to kind of see what his trajectory looks like.
1:07:52
Speaker 1: Both of the Titans and I don't know, potentially another
1:07:54
Speaker 1: team I don't know. Yeah, it's it's absolutely wild. And
1:07:58
Speaker 1: again because I don't think they're completely devoid of allent
1:08:01
Speaker 1: and it could be again with Callahan Bill Callahan as
1:08:04
Speaker 1: the offensive line coach and what they have up front,
1:08:07
Speaker 1: solidify your right tackle spot a little bit, add a couple,
1:08:10
Speaker 1: maybe a vet here or there. You really could have
1:08:12
Speaker 1: a really good offensive line next year and going forward.
1:08:15
Speaker 1: And I don't know, maybe it's a little quarterback friendly,
1:08:17
Speaker 1: and I just don't know if Levi is going to
1:08:18
Speaker 1: be that guy. But I guess we'll see.
1:08:20
Speaker 2: Time.
1:08:20
Speaker 1: We'll tell James you were tremendous. I appreciate you joining me,
1:08:24

1:09:09
Speaker 1: I always love the at like the No Flags film,
1:09:11
Speaker 1: it's just such a good handle, Like you did really.
1:09:13
Speaker 2: Well, you know it. I was trying to think of
1:09:16
Speaker 2: a of a user name and it came from just
1:09:19
Speaker 2: the thing that announcers say where they're like, there are
1:09:22
Speaker 2: no flags on the play. So yeah, that's where I
1:09:25
Speaker 2: got it. I have no idea how.
1:09:26
Speaker 1: That came to him, but yeah, it's it's very good.
1:09:28
Speaker 1: It's right up there. Charles McDonald, who does stuff for Yahoo,
1:09:31
Speaker 1: like his at four verts. I always think like four
1:09:34
Speaker 1: a cool one, Like that's a solid one. Someone else
1:09:37
Speaker 1: used to have it. I don't think I have it anymore,
1:09:39
Speaker 1: but it was Their handle was at Double China seven,
1:09:42
Speaker 1: which I was calling concept, like that's a really good one. Yeah,
1:09:45
Speaker 1: there's some that just hit and yours is definitely one.
1:09:46
Speaker 1: Women and then yet your work again speaks for itself.
1:09:49
Speaker 1: I appreciate you taking the time. This was awesome. I'm
1:09:52
Speaker 1: probably gonna DM you as soon as the episode is

1:09:56
Speaker 1: I'll see you on the Twitter verse. Enjoy the rest
1:09:59
Speaker 1: of your Wednesday, and ippreciate you joining me in this episode.
1:10:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks for having me.
1:10:05
Speaker 1: Good times with mister James Foster again. He's genuinely like
1:10:10
Speaker 1: a really good follow I absolutely enjoy the hell out
1:10:14
Speaker 1: of them and I was pumped to be able to
1:10:15
Speaker 1: have him on this show in this episode of this
1:10:20
Speaker 1: guy's coverage. One other piece that I want to bring
1:10:24
Speaker 1: up and speak to now is another graphic that has
1:10:28
Speaker 1: been prevented, presented by our friends again at bet Us.
1:10:35
Speaker 1: I wanted to bring up this graphic showing the NFL
1:10:37
Speaker 1: QB's touchdown to turn over ratio after week six and
1:10:42
Speaker 1: Josh Allen sitting there at the top with ten touchdowns,
1:10:46
Speaker 1: zero interceptions and and sixty yards but kind of just
1:10:51
Speaker 1: looking at the conversation of who he's with and where
1:10:55
Speaker 1: he is. You see Burrow twelve touchdowns, two I and
1:10:58
Speaker 1: T's Lamar ten and two, Baker Mayfield having a really
1:11:00
Speaker 1: good year fifteen and five, Sam Donald eleven tds, four interceptions.
1:11:05
Speaker 1: I wanted to bring this one up because I think
1:11:07
Speaker 1: it ties into what we've seen from this Bill's offense,
1:11:10
Speaker 1: where the explosives are harder to come by from a
1:11:15
Speaker 1: true dropback scenario again, especially you know down the field
1:11:20
Speaker 1: or well obviously down the fix is explosive, but anything
1:11:22
Speaker 1: down the field and outside the numbers has been a
1:11:24
Speaker 1: real slog for this Bill's team. But as we've gone
1:11:27
Speaker 1: forward throughout the season, everything more in structure is becoming
1:11:31
Speaker 1: a little difficult. The explosives that you're seeing are off script,
1:11:35
Speaker 1: off structure. From a pass perspective, You're getting some explosive
1:11:38
Speaker 1: runs through the running backs Cook, Ray Davis, even Ty Johnson,
1:11:42
Speaker 1: but the explosives that are coming from the pass are
1:11:45
Speaker 1: more off script, out of structure type stuff. And I
1:11:48
Speaker 1: wonder if as we start to see or if we
1:11:51
Speaker 1: see more in structure success or more verticality to this offense,
1:11:55
Speaker 1: or more outside the numbers action, whether it's because of
1:11:58
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper just because of the adjustments and the evolution
1:12:02
Speaker 1: of this offense under Joe Brady, when do we start
1:12:05
Speaker 1: to see those interceptions start to creep in, or do
1:12:08
Speaker 1: we get to a spot where Alan feels like he
1:12:12
Speaker 1: has to put more on his shoulders and he has
1:12:14
Speaker 1: to put that cape on, and with that cape, we
1:12:17
Speaker 1: see the awesomeness, We see the the yang of Josh Allen,
1:12:21
Speaker 1: which is the positive, but then also we sometimes get that,
1:12:24
Speaker 1: we get the negative side, We get that snowball effect
1:12:27
Speaker 1: where he feels like he has to push, and then
1:12:29
Speaker 1: we get one turnover and another. And it's interesting to
1:12:32
Speaker 1: see where he is right now again, sitting here at
1:12:34
Speaker 1: no interceptions on the year. But I don't think if
1:12:37
Speaker 1: you looked at him, you'd say, like, man, he's crushing
1:12:39
Speaker 1: it and the offense is really flowing and everything feels
1:12:42
Speaker 1: smooth and easy. It has been a fight and a
1:12:45
Speaker 1: struggle in the past several weeks. Granted game script plays
1:12:48
Speaker 1: a significant role in that, but I do wonder, as
1:12:51
Speaker 1: he starts to push a little bit more, when do
1:12:54
Speaker 1: we start to see that first interception. Does it start
1:12:57
Speaker 1: to come in bunches in terms of games or in
1:12:59
Speaker 1: turns of kind of one after the other. So I
1:13:03
Speaker 1: am very interested to see that. But him sitting there
1:13:04
Speaker 1: at the top there ten touchdowns, no interceptions, the company
1:13:07
Speaker 1: that he's in, it'll be very interesting to see what
1:13:10
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper adds to this offense. How they operate going
1:13:13
Speaker 1: forward and if things start to open up, do we
1:13:16
Speaker 1: see more of that aggressive down the field Josh Allen
1:13:19
Speaker 1: and then potential interceptions that do come along with it. Again,
1:13:23
