<v Speaker 1>Finding the way. Find the way every week. Camoof no overthinking.

0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:19.200
<v Speaker 1>All right, go play football. We play some football. Exciting

0:00:19.239 --> 0:00:22.120
<v Speaker 1>time to be a Buffalo building. Been in the Buffalo Builds.

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:30.640
<v Speaker 1>Welcome into Week two of the Sean McDermott Show, presented

0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:34.680
<v Speaker 1>by Connors and Ferris, your workers comp Attorneys. Sean, thank

0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:36.480
<v Speaker 1>you as always for joining us. It was a tough

0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 1>loss to the Steelers in Week one where it seemed

0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:41.720
<v Speaker 1>like nothing went your way in the second half. What

0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:44.040
<v Speaker 1>was your message to your team right after the game,

0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:47.040
<v Speaker 1>and what's your message to them going forward this week

0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:49.400
<v Speaker 1>against the Dolphins. Well, we talked about each and every

0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:51.239
<v Speaker 1>one of us doing a better job, starting with me,

0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:54.520
<v Speaker 1>and you know, just fundamentally after looking at the tape,

0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:57.480
<v Speaker 1>just just fundamentally doing things better. Sometimes the game of

0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:00.000
<v Speaker 1>football we make too complicated and we've got a block better,

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:03.080
<v Speaker 1>catch better, run better, tackle better and then put ourselves

0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>in better position in critical situation. So just just really

0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:09.440
<v Speaker 1>starting with myself and then everyone taking their responsible to

0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:12.640
<v Speaker 1>accountability for it. As the football teamer, well, he held

0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:15.080
<v Speaker 1>the Steelers to just fifty three total yards in the

0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:17.120
<v Speaker 1>first half and had a ten o lead, and then

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:19.440
<v Speaker 1>in the second half felt like you couldn't catch a break.

0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:22.080
<v Speaker 1>You had some tough penalties and a block punt return

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:24.480
<v Speaker 1>for a touchdown, And on the other side, the Steelers

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.800
<v Speaker 1>had four straight scoring drives which were perpetuated by some

0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:30.839
<v Speaker 1>of those penalties. Did they do anything in the second

0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:32.560
<v Speaker 1>half that changed at the moment of the game or

0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.560
<v Speaker 1>was it all about breaks and penalties? Well, I think

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:37.680
<v Speaker 1>there was a stretch in the game there where they

0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:40.560
<v Speaker 1>made some big plays, right with the block punt for

0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:43.120
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown, we come back. I think on the ensuing drive,

0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:45.560
<v Speaker 1>things don't go our way. I think on the fourth down,

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:47.280
<v Speaker 1>I think that was the next drive there, so or

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:49.320
<v Speaker 1>what have you. So it was just a quick change

0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:52.760
<v Speaker 1>in momentum overall, and the game comes down to a

0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:56.360
<v Speaker 1>handful of plays and we had some opportunities that we

0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:58.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't take advantage on. We need to do a better

0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 1>job with You said it was a big focus to

0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.760
<v Speaker 1>improve your pass rush this last offseason. Your defense came

0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:05.960
<v Speaker 1>out swinging the first half, had a couple of sacks

0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.240
<v Speaker 1>and they finished the game with six hits on the quarterback.

0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:10.520
<v Speaker 1>What did you think of the way your defensive line

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:13.680
<v Speaker 1>got after Ben in Week one? Yeah, I thought they

0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 1>really did some good things. Eric Washington did a good

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:18.360
<v Speaker 1>job of rolling some of the bodies in their fresh bodies.

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:21.480
<v Speaker 1>And if he saw Mario Addison early with the sack fumble,

0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:23.960
<v Speaker 1>and I wish we could have got on that because

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:25.919
<v Speaker 1>that could have been changing the game and the outcome

0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:28.520
<v Speaker 1>of the game perhaps. And I thought Jerry Hughes did

0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:32.440
<v Speaker 1>some good things. Greg Rousseau, you saw a jappen, az

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Ed Oliver, just to name a few of the guys.

0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:37.880
<v Speaker 1>And so I think, listen, the challenges are only going

0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.080
<v Speaker 1>to grow and get better, and so it's important that

0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:44.000
<v Speaker 1>we continue to grow with those challenges. Yeah, under opening day,

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Josh came out of the tunnel to chance of MVP,

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:48.440
<v Speaker 1>but he didn't have one of his signature performance that

0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:51.120
<v Speaker 1>we got used to seeing last season. But still he

0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.440
<v Speaker 1>finished with two hundred and seventy yards and a touchdown

0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:55.320
<v Speaker 1>through the air, and he made some great throws in

0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:59.600
<v Speaker 1>windy conditions. What'd you see in Josh's performance against Pittsburgh, Well,

0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 1>I think you hit it, Steve. You know, there was

0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.800
<v Speaker 1>some players I know Josh wants back, but overall, you know,

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 1>there was a lot of good moments as well. I mean,

0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.360
<v Speaker 1>we spread the ball around at times to the different receivers.

0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Hit the tight end on a backed up situation, which

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.600
<v Speaker 1>was a huge throw obviously, Gabe Davis before half was

0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.040
<v Speaker 1>a huge throw in a tight window. And you know

0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:17.680
<v Speaker 1>how hard it is in the red zone, how small

0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:20.120
<v Speaker 1>those windows are down there. So I thought Josh really

0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 1>did some good things and I know he's going to

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:24.480
<v Speaker 1>look to improve as we head into week two here. Well,

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:27.359
<v Speaker 1>the new guy, Emmanuel Sanders had four catches on eight

0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 1>targets for fifty two yards. He and Josh failed to

0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:32.919
<v Speaker 1>connect on a deep one and looked like it was

0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:34.680
<v Speaker 1>going to be a touchdown early on, but they do

0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:36.960
<v Speaker 1>seem to have some chemistry. What did you think of

0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:40.760
<v Speaker 1>Sanders in his Bill's debut. Yeah, I thought he played fast.

0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:43.520
<v Speaker 1>I know there was a player two in there where

0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:46.120
<v Speaker 1>he and Josh didn't connect or Josh then hit him

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.160
<v Speaker 1>I think over in the seam one time over the

0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.600
<v Speaker 1>middle and they knocked the ball out of his hands.

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.440
<v Speaker 1>So another opportunity for us that we got to make

0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:55.520
<v Speaker 1>the most of next go around. But great to get

0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Emanuel going, especially early in his career as a Bill

0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:00.880
<v Speaker 1>here and off to a good start, and his rapport

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:04.440
<v Speaker 1>with Josh in Game one. After the game, Mitch Morris said,

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:06.320
<v Speaker 1>the loss to the Steeler was really a gut check

0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 1>and an opportunity to learn. How do you think your

0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:11.120
<v Speaker 1>team can learn from this loss to the Steelers to

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:13.520
<v Speaker 1>get better moving forward and in particular here in week

0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:16.360
<v Speaker 1>two in Miami. Well, I think it offers a wake

0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:18.440
<v Speaker 1>up call early in the season here for us, right

0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:20.400
<v Speaker 1>and it starts mentally. We've got to make sure we're

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.679
<v Speaker 1>mentally dialed in and recalibrated into continuing to earn things.

0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:26.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, that comes with expectations. Sometimes as a human

0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:28.320
<v Speaker 1>you get a little bit off kilter. And so I

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:29.920
<v Speaker 1>think it's a great wake up call, if you is

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:31.560
<v Speaker 1>the right way. We've got to learn from it, and

0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:33.960
<v Speaker 1>we've got to continue to grow and get ourselves back

0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:37.240
<v Speaker 1>to playing Buffalo Bill style football. Thanks coach, We're gonna

0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:38.680
<v Speaker 1>catch up with you later in the show to get

0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 1>your final thoughts on your upcoming matchup with the Dolphins

0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday. We'll be back everybody. Game preview is presented

0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:52.839
<v Speaker 1>by Independent Elf You deserve the red shirt treatment, Mattie

0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:55.640
<v Speaker 1>glab Here with this week's game preview. The Buffalo Bills

0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.000
<v Speaker 1>will head to Miami for their first road trip of

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:01.120
<v Speaker 1>the twenty twenty one season. Bills are searching for their

0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.760
<v Speaker 1>first victory, while the Dolphins are one in oz with

0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:07.400
<v Speaker 1>a Week one win over the Patriots. Wide receiver Stefan

0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:10.560
<v Speaker 1>Diggs was the leading receiver with nine catches for sixty

0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:14.720
<v Speaker 1>nine yards, continuing his streak of seventeen straight games, including

0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:18.560
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs, with six or more receptions. The Bills offense

0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:21.400
<v Speaker 1>is looking to bounce back in Quarterback Josh Allen is

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:24.440
<v Speaker 1>known to play well against the Dolphins. He has thrown

0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:28.080
<v Speaker 1>for seventeen touchdowns and has a one fourteen point three

0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:31.760
<v Speaker 1>passer rating against the AFC East foe. Allen has also

0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:35.360
<v Speaker 1>earned AFC Offensive Player of the Week in three out

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 1>of six career games against Miami. In Week one, Buffalo's

0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:42.960
<v Speaker 1>defense held the Steelers to just sixteen points and recorded

0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:46.200
<v Speaker 1>two sacks. They also had an answer for limiting first

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.040
<v Speaker 1>round running back Naja Harris to just two point eight

0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:52.279
<v Speaker 1>yards per carry, which could play into limiting Dolphins running

0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:55.120
<v Speaker 1>back Miles Gaskin this week. The Dolphins were able to

0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:57.679
<v Speaker 1>sneak by with a one point win in their first

0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:01.600
<v Speaker 1>game of the season thanks to their defense forced four fumbles.

0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 1>They recovered two of those four, and the last one

0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:07.320
<v Speaker 1>happened in the red zone, which secured the win. Miami

0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:10.000
<v Speaker 1>quarterback two A Tongue of Iloa is using year two

0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:13.040
<v Speaker 1>to prove why Miami made the right decision by drafting him.

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:15.279
<v Speaker 1>He threw for two hundred and two yards, had a

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:19.120
<v Speaker 1>passing and a rushing touchdown, and one interception while completing

0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:22.880
<v Speaker 1>fifty nine percent of his passes against the Patriots. The

0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.719
<v Speaker 1>Bills have won the last five games against Miami and

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:28.400
<v Speaker 1>have beat the Dolphins in the last seven of eight

0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:32.240
<v Speaker 1>games since Sean McDermott took over as head coach. Miami

0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:35.040
<v Speaker 1>does lead the all time series with sixty one wins

0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:38.880
<v Speaker 1>and fifty two losses. That's this week's game preview, Steve

0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:47.600
<v Speaker 1>back to you. Thanks as always, Maddie, coach. You're gonna

0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:50.360
<v Speaker 1>have your first regular season road trip of the year

0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.360
<v Speaker 1>heading down to Miami this week. How different are your

0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:55.400
<v Speaker 1>road trips going to be this year than they were

0:06:55.520 --> 0:07:00.279
<v Speaker 1>last year under the more strict COVID protocols. Well, we'll see.

0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 1>We've been on the road a few times through preseason

0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:05.240
<v Speaker 1>to this point, but not in the regular season. This

0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:07.520
<v Speaker 1>will be one of our further trips, our longer trips

0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:09.760
<v Speaker 1>that will have this season, but it's too a familiar

0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:11.840
<v Speaker 1>place and so we'll get a chance to get down

0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.520
<v Speaker 1>there and get acclimated to the heat a little bit.

0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 1>And it's important that we're hydrated all week long as

0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:20.320
<v Speaker 1>we head down there and prepare for our game against Miami.

0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:21.800
<v Speaker 1>And you know, we're going to do our best to

0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:24.400
<v Speaker 1>stay as healthy as we can and go down there

0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:26.960
<v Speaker 1>and do our job and then try and get back

0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:29.640
<v Speaker 1>here in the safest way possible. Well, you'll face two

0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:31.960
<v Speaker 1>a Tonga Voloa, a quarterback for the second time in

0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.000
<v Speaker 1>his career. He threw for a touchdown and ran for

0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:36.440
<v Speaker 1>another in their win against the Patriots in Week one.

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.040
<v Speaker 1>What are you expecting to see out of this second

0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 1>year quarterback in Miami. Well, I'm sure he spent a

0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.400
<v Speaker 1>lot of the offseason working on his game. Puts in

0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:47.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot of time from what I know what I've heard,

0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:50.320
<v Speaker 1>and they've added weapons to his arsenal and offense with

0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Waddle who's a great receiver with the ball in his

0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:55.840
<v Speaker 1>hands and a kickpunt returner as well. So you saw

0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:57.800
<v Speaker 1>them go up to New England in a tough environment

0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:00.240
<v Speaker 1>and beat a good football team and the Patriots, and

0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:03.040
<v Speaker 1>now they're one to oz and sitting atop the division.

0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:04.400
<v Speaker 1>And so we've got to go down there with the

0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:07.960
<v Speaker 1>right mindset and ready to put our best foot forward. Well,

0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:11.160
<v Speaker 1>the Dolphins added wide receiver Jalen Waddle with the sixth

0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:13.920
<v Speaker 1>overall pick in this year's draft. This last offseason, he

0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:16.480
<v Speaker 1>had four catches for sixty one yards and a touchdown

0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:19.240
<v Speaker 1>in his debut. How does the added element of his

0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:23.360
<v Speaker 1>speed change the way you're preparing for the Dolphins offense? Yes, Steve,

0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:25.000
