0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:20.960
<v Speaker 1>exciting time to be a Buffalo Bill and a fan

0:00:21.000 --> 0:00:23.640
<v Speaker 1>of the Buffalo Bills. Hey, everybody, welcome to the Sean

0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:34.680
<v Speaker 1>McDermott's Show, presented by ECMC and kalid to Health, the

0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:37.240
<v Speaker 1>official healthcare providers of the Buffalo Bills, or please to

0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:40.760
<v Speaker 1>join Sean McDermot again. After a nice win down in Miami,

0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:43.240
<v Speaker 1>you know you asked your team last week to play fearless,

0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:57.000
<v Speaker 1>and man, they really took the lid off. You know,

0:00:57.320 --> 0:00:59.840
<v Speaker 1>the team has struggled up until this last week, just

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 1>four points. But the two guys that have been really consistent,

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>John Brown Josh Allen teaming up. John Brown's putting together

0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:08.920
<v Speaker 1>a pretty nice little season. I think the way you'd

0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:11.840
<v Speaker 1>like to see it, consistent production weekend week out. Ever,

0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 1>your you've said a lot about what it is to

0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:32.440
<v Speaker 1>have players who are leaders on your team. Saturday night,

0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:34.039
<v Speaker 1>Tremaine Edmonds stood up in front of the team and

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:35.679
<v Speaker 1>had some things to say. Wouldn't that mean to you

0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 1>to see a kid, but still one of the youngest

0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:40.040
<v Speaker 1>players not only on your roster, but in the entire

0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:42.880
<v Speaker 1>league stand up and start to become the kind of

0:01:42.920 --> 0:02:07.520
<v Speaker 1>guy you envisioned in becoming when you drafted it. Yeah,

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:10.480
<v Speaker 1>right or wrong. NFL is always about wins and losses, right,

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:12.800
<v Speaker 1>So you've got to win, no problem, But how do you,

0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 1>aside from the win lost column, how do you measure

0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:47.800
<v Speaker 1>the improvement of your club? That's got to be a

0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 1>tough balance to strike. And you brought it up about

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:51.959
<v Speaker 1>developing young players. You want to win now, no question.

0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:53.880
<v Speaker 1>You want to win this year and every year, but

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.120
<v Speaker 1>you also have to have an eye for guys coming

0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:59.000
<v Speaker 1>through the pipeline. You've always been big on developing our

0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.359
<v Speaker 1>own players. How do you write that balance between winning

0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:04.639
<v Speaker 1>now and then developing guys like Josh, like Tremaine Edmunds,

0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Cody Ford at all over all these Tredavious White another

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:11.240
<v Speaker 1>one who's now a veteran, right, right, So how do

0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 1>you strike that balance between you gotta win now, but

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Cody Ford rotating in and out and out right tackle

0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:46.000
<v Speaker 1>and guard. It seems to be working all right, Sean,

0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for that insight. We'll be back to get more

0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 1>of that thinking about the Denver Broncos later in the show.

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Choppin Wood is presented by Saint Bonaventure University, the official

0:03:55.600 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 1>education provider of the Buffalo Bills. Well, come back to

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:02.400
<v Speaker 1>the Sean McDermott Show, and we're in the film room

0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 1>today with our good friend Eric Wood. We're gonna chop

0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 1>some wood and dissect the Dolphins game. Eric, what do

0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>you think of the Bills win in Miami? You know,

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was a convincing win All season long.

0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:15.440
<v Speaker 1>The Bills fans have been clamoring for this convincing, dominating win,

0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:18.000
<v Speaker 1>and they lit it up on the scoreboard. They hold

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:20.720
<v Speaker 1>them to hardly any rushing yards on the day, none

0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:24.599
<v Speaker 1>in meaningful time. Really completely stifled them, and I loved

0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:26.760
<v Speaker 1>what I saw. The message heading into the week was

0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.480
<v Speaker 1>play fearless, and I thought both sides of the ball

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:32.480
<v Speaker 1>play fearless. Yeah. And after a close loss in Cleveland,

0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:34.440
<v Speaker 1>it was a really discouraging week for a lot of

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Bills fans, but the team came out and showed up big.

0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Josh Allen moved the ball with ease and ended up

0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:41.520
<v Speaker 1>with one of those long pass plays that we haven't

0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.040
<v Speaker 1>seen much of this year to John Brown. Yeah, after

0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:46.160
<v Speaker 1>a six and three start, it was surprising how much

0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 1>heat Brian day Ball and Josh Allen we're getting, but

0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:51.320
<v Speaker 1>the deep balls haven't come, the big chunk plays. And

0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:53.679
<v Speaker 1>then offensively, they were twenty fifth in the league, and

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:55.760
<v Speaker 1>I think heading into the game, part of the reason

0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:58.159
<v Speaker 1>of that is that they've played in games this year

0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:01.039
<v Speaker 1>where they simply were just holding into a lead or

0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:04.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, just simply not turning the ball over and

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:07.040
<v Speaker 1>playing a little more conservative against warres teams. But they

0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:09.279
<v Speaker 1>came out and put it on the Dolphins. Well, let's

0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 1>talk about this first touchdown pass along passed John Brown

0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:15.440
<v Speaker 1>right down the right side, Josh Allen looking left, looking left,

0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.000
<v Speaker 1>came back late and put a laser beam right on

0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:19.960
<v Speaker 1>his wide receiver. Yeah. When I watched this play a

0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.280
<v Speaker 1>lot from the booth, and now not a great bandish

0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:24.440
<v Speaker 1>point from the Miami booth, But when I watched the

0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:26.600
<v Speaker 1>play from the booth, I loved that I knew was

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 1>a cover two whole shot immediately, and I loved everything

0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.680
<v Speaker 1>about it. An absolute laser throw, And that just shows

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.640
<v Speaker 1>the chemistry the trust that Josh Allen has in John

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Brown that he'll be right where he needs to be.

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:40.359
<v Speaker 1>You can see before the play, Josh Allen starts under center,

0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.760
<v Speaker 1>he checks the play, he sees the defense that the

0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Dolphins are in, checks the play. And after the game,

0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:49.840
<v Speaker 1>I listened to John Brown's interview with reporters and he

0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:52.160
<v Speaker 1>talked about, Hey, Josh came up to me on the

0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:55.040
<v Speaker 1>sideline and said, if we get this look again, I'm

0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:57.919
<v Speaker 1>coming to you down the sideline. And John Brown said,

0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:00.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's not many quarterbacks in the lead that

0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 1>he can even make that throw. I also want to

0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:04.919
<v Speaker 1>talk about Josh's leg once again. He carved up the

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:06.839
<v Speaker 1>Dolphins with his legs. He did a last year in

0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Week seventeen, but it's still a big part of his game.

0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:12.160
<v Speaker 1>And he broke one off on a quarterback read option

0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:15.440
<v Speaker 1>that really came loose. Yeah. Through my radio broadcast, I'm

0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.240
<v Speaker 1>often critical about Josh Allen taking hits outside of the

0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:22.760
<v Speaker 1>pocket and him running maybe too much on some design runs.

0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:25.640
<v Speaker 1>But this play, this is a read option play, so

0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:27.720
<v Speaker 1>he could either hand the ball off the single terrier

0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:31.680
<v Speaker 1>when that defensive end bytes take off himself. And oftentimes

0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:34.559
<v Speaker 1>teams are running RPOs while those receivers will be running

0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.640
<v Speaker 1>routes out there, the defensive backs can peel off. Well.

0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Here the Bills truly run read option. Tyler Croft and

0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:44.039
<v Speaker 1>Isaiah McKenzie. I lead blocking for him and it allows

0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 1>it for a thirty six yard game. And then if

0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:49.120
<v Speaker 1>you notice here, you know I often refer to a

0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.839
<v Speaker 1>seven man box. So if you look, there's seven defenders

0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:54.840
<v Speaker 1>lined up basically on Dion Dawkins on the left, with

0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:56.919
<v Speaker 1>shar Jones on the line all the way over to

0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.520
<v Speaker 1>the guy that's gonna be a man defense on Tyler Croft.

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:03.040
<v Speaker 1>The Bill only have six blockers and that's a seven

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.280
<v Speaker 1>man box. That's really tough. You neutralize it with the

0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:08.000
<v Speaker 1>quarterback runs a great play design, great play call, and

0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:10.640
<v Speaker 1>great execution by Josh Allen, and you could tell at

0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:12.480
<v Speaker 1>the end of that run he wanted to get in

0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:15.160
<v Speaker 1>the end zone. Let's switch ahead and let's fast forward

0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:17.880
<v Speaker 1>over to the Denver Broncos. They're coming to town this weekend.

0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.320
<v Speaker 1>You got to imagine that Josh Allen's going to be

0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:22.680
<v Speaker 1>aware of where von Miller is lining up. He's one

0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:25.120
<v Speaker 1>of only three active players with over one hundred sacks.

0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 1>What do you know about Von Miller. He's just such

0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:31.679
<v Speaker 1>an impressive player. He's so active, he's great with his hands,

0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 1>he's super athletic, and then he's got a sneaky amount

0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:37.800
<v Speaker 1>of power, which I know from experience. Actually gave up

0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:39.320
<v Speaker 1>a sack to him at one time in my career

0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:41.880
<v Speaker 1>on a stunt, so he can really expose anybody. But

0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:43.960
<v Speaker 1>here you see him working on the left tackle and

0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.120
<v Speaker 1>it's just a tough matchup. Riley Reef is a good

0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:48.360
<v Speaker 1>tackle in this league, the left tackle for the Vikings,

0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.520
<v Speaker 1>and he just beats him around the edge, uses his hands,

0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 1>use this speed and he'll get home. But he's covered

0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.880
<v Speaker 1>so much ground coming off the football. Yeah, Von Miller

0:07:57.000 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 1>has sacked fifty different quarterbacks in his career. You can

0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:05.520
<v Speaker 1>see from this sack against the Jaguars that it's coming

0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:08.720
<v Speaker 1>together for this Denver Broncos defense. Yeah, it is, and

0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:10.960
<v Speaker 1>they're playing great football. I believe going into the game

0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:13.720
<v Speaker 1>last weekday at a top five defense statistically in the league.

0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:16.400
<v Speaker 1>So it'll be a matchup of two top five defenses.

0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:18.440
<v Speaker 1>Would be a great matchup in Orchard Park. You know,

0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:21.040
<v Speaker 1>if Ti and Secki's out for this game, Cody Ford

0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.080
<v Speaker 1>needs to be careful with the speed rushes that von

0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Miller will bring because he'll rush the passer from both sides,

0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:31.400
<v Speaker 1>and here he gets a sack with absolute ease against

0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:34.079
<v Speaker 1>Minshew in the pocket. It'll be a tough matchup for him,

0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:36.480
<v Speaker 1>but it'll be an entertaining one to watch because there'll

0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:38.520
<v Speaker 1>be a lot of going back and forth between him.

0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:42.000
<v Speaker 1>He's Eric Wood, the radio analyst for the Bills broadcast

0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:44.040
<v Speaker 1>of the home games. He'll be back in Buffalo for

0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:47.040
<v Speaker 1>the Denver Broncos game this week. Eric, travel safe. We'll

0:08:47.040 --> 0:09:48.880
<v Speaker 1>see you on Sunday, all right, thanks, Steve. Game preview

0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:52.360
<v Speaker 1>is presented by Independent Health. From your every day to

0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:58.120
<v Speaker 1>your unexpected. That's the Red Share treatment. Mattie glad here

0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:00.679
<v Speaker 1>at this week's game preview. The seven and three Bills

0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.320
<v Speaker 1>are back at New air Field a head a week twelve,

0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:06.480
<v Speaker 1>taking on the three and seven Broncos. They happen to

0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:08.880
<v Speaker 1>be one and four on the road as well. Bills

0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:11.800
<v Speaker 1>now seven and three Buffalo's best records through ten games

0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:15.800
<v Speaker 1>since nineteen ninety nine. Next Sunday, Bills back home against

0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:19.080
<v Speaker 1>the Denver Broncos at New air Fields. The Broncos offense

0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:22.720
<v Speaker 1>ranks twenty seventh in averaging seventeen point two points per game.

0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Their threat on offense is receiver Courtland Sutton, who ranks

0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:29.200
<v Speaker 1>tenth in the NFL with eight hundred and five receiving yards.

0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:32.520
<v Speaker 1>He also ranks eighth with thirteen catches of twenty yards

0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:36.079
<v Speaker 1>or more. Denver's defense ranks fourth in the league, allowing

0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:38.679
<v Speaker 1>an average of three hundred and ten point eight yards

0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:42.640
<v Speaker 1>per game. Buffalo impressed on offense last week against Miami.

0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Wide receiver John Brown's eight hundred and seventeen receiving yards

0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:49.079
<v Speaker 1>is the second most in the AFC and the most

0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:52.880
<v Speaker 1>by a Bill through ten games. Quarterback Josh Allen continues

0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:55.120
<v Speaker 1>to set records in his second year, as he has

0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:58.120
<v Speaker 1>at least two touchdowns in the last six games, which

0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:00.439
<v Speaker 1>is the longest active streak in the NFL BELL and

0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:03.040
<v Speaker 1>the longest streak by a Bill since Jim Kelly in

0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:07.439
<v Speaker 1>nineteen ninety one. Alan also has fifteen rushing touchdowns, with

0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Trails Cam Newton by just two for the most rushing

0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:13.840
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns by a quarterback in their first two seasons. The

0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:17.280
<v Speaker 1>third ranked Buffalo Bills defense, who allows just seventeen points

0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:20.120
<v Speaker 1>per game, put on a show against the Dolphins, sacking

0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:24.480
<v Speaker 1>quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick seven times, and the last five times

0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:26.960
<v Speaker 1>the Bills and Broncos have played each other, Buffalo has

0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:30.240
<v Speaker 1>won three of those five matchups. Steve back to you,

0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:34.439
<v Speaker 1>thanks Mattie, and now we're back with Sean mcdermoty to

0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.679
<v Speaker 1>get some final thoughts about the Denver Broncos coming up.

0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:39.520
<v Speaker 1>You're facing a team that's a lot like the Buffalo Bills.

0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Lean on that defense. Bills number three overall defense, Denver

0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:46.200
<v Speaker 1>Broncos number four overall defense. Somebody's got to score some

0:11:46.240 --> 0:12:15.679
<v Speaker 1>points in this game, right, I mean, well, you got

0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:17.880
<v Speaker 1>a player on your team that's gone one hundred and

0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:21.679
<v Speaker 1>sixty plus attempts passing and never thrown a pick. What's

0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:24.640
<v Speaker 1>that say about how committed Josh has been, how well

0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:26.920
<v Speaker 1>he's taking to the coaching, the guidance that you and

0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Dave Ball and Dorsey have given him. He seems to

0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:32.240
<v Speaker 1>listen and try and do everything he's trying supposed to

0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:58.600
<v Speaker 1>be doing. Sean, thanks allot to appreciate it. We're gonna

0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.040
<v Speaker 1>take next week off for thanks Giving. We're to come back.

0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.600
<v Speaker 1>We'll recap maybe the Denver Bronco game, look back at

0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:05.080
<v Speaker 1>the Dallas game, but we're going to look forward to

0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:07.280
<v Speaker 1>the Baltimore Ravens the next time we see it. Thanks

0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:10.520
<v Speaker 1>for watching, everybody, and have a great weekend. The Sean
