Speaker 1: But we're live right now. Hey, we're live. Everybody got
Speaker 1: me live. Let's go bury. Everybody do their job. One
Speaker 1: of love, Clayoff Calvern defense. Let's go no overthinking, right,
Speaker 1: Go play some ball, Go play some football. It's an
Speaker 1: exciting time to be a Buffalo Bill and a fan
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. Hey, everybody, welcome to the Sean
Speaker 1: McDermott's Show, presented by ECMC and kalid to Health, the
Speaker 1: official healthcare providers of the Buffalo Bills, or please to
Speaker 1: join Sean McDermot again. After a nice win down in Miami,
Speaker 1: you know you asked your team last week to play fearless,
Speaker 1: and man, they really took the lid off. You know,
Speaker 1: the team has struggled up until this last week, just
Speaker 1: four points. But the two guys that have been really consistent,
Speaker 1: John Brown Josh Allen teaming up. John Brown's putting together
Speaker 1: a pretty nice little season. I think the way you'd
Speaker 1: like to see it, consistent production weekend week out. Ever,
Speaker 1: your you've said a lot about what it is to
Speaker 1: have players who are leaders on your team. Saturday night,
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds stood up in front of the team and
Speaker 1: had some things to say. Wouldn't that mean to you
Speaker 1: to see a kid, but still one of the youngest
Speaker 1: players not only on your roster, but in the entire
Speaker 1: league stand up and start to become the kind of
Speaker 1: guy you envisioned in becoming when you drafted it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: right or wrong. NFL is always about wins and losses, right,
Speaker 1: So you've got to win, no problem, But how do you,
Speaker 1: aside from the win lost column, how do you measure
Speaker 1: the improvement of your club? That's got to be a
Speaker 1: tough balance to strike. And you brought it up about
Speaker 1: developing young players. You want to win now, no question.
Speaker 1: You want to win this year and every year, but
Speaker 1: you also have to have an eye for guys coming
Speaker 1: through the pipeline. You've always been big on developing our
Speaker 1: own players. How do you write that balance between winning
Speaker 1: now and then developing guys like Josh, like Tremaine Edmunds,
Speaker 1: Cody Ford at all over all these Tredavious White another
Speaker 1: one who's now a veteran, right, right, So how do
Speaker 1: you strike that balance between you gotta win now, but
Speaker 1: Cody Ford rotating in and out and out right tackle
Speaker 1: and guard. It seems to be working all right, Sean,
Speaker 1: Thanks for that insight. We'll be back to get more
Speaker 1: of that thinking about the Denver Broncos later in the show.
Speaker 1: Choppin Wood is presented by Saint Bonaventure University, the official
Speaker 1: education provider of the Buffalo Bills. Well, come back to
Speaker 1: the Sean McDermott Show, and we're in the film room
Speaker 1: today with our good friend Eric Wood. We're gonna chop
Speaker 1: some wood and dissect the Dolphins game. Eric, what do
Speaker 1: you think of the Bills win in Miami? You know,
Speaker 1: I thought it was a convincing win All season long.
Speaker 1: The Bills fans have been clamoring for this convincing, dominating win,
Speaker 1: and they lit it up on the scoreboard. They hold
Speaker 1: them to hardly any rushing yards on the day, none
Speaker 1: in meaningful time. Really completely stifled them, and I loved
Speaker 1: what I saw. The message heading into the week was
Speaker 1: play fearless, and I thought both sides of the ball
Speaker 1: play fearless. Yeah. And after a close loss in Cleveland,
Speaker 1: it was a really discouraging week for a lot of
Speaker 1: Bills fans, but the team came out and showed up big.
Speaker 1: Josh Allen moved the ball with ease and ended up
Speaker 1: with one of those long pass plays that we haven't
Speaker 1: seen much of this year to John Brown. Yeah, after
Speaker 1: a six and three start, it was surprising how much
Speaker 1: heat Brian day Ball and Josh Allen we're getting, but
Speaker 1: the deep balls haven't come, the big chunk plays. And
Speaker 1: then offensively, they were twenty fifth in the league, and
Speaker 1: I think heading into the game, part of the reason
Speaker 1: of that is that they've played in games this year
Speaker 1: where they simply were just holding into a lead or
Speaker 1: you know, just simply not turning the ball over and
Speaker 1: playing a little more conservative against warres teams. But they
Speaker 1: came out and put it on the Dolphins. Well, let's
Speaker 1: talk about this first touchdown pass along passed John Brown
Speaker 1: right down the right side, Josh Allen looking left, looking left,
Speaker 1: came back late and put a laser beam right on
Speaker 1: his wide receiver. Yeah. When I watched this play a
Speaker 1: lot from the booth, and now not a great bandish
Speaker 1: point from the Miami booth, But when I watched the
Speaker 1: play from the booth, I loved that I knew was
Speaker 1: a cover two whole shot immediately, and I loved everything
Speaker 1: about it. An absolute laser throw, And that just shows
Speaker 1: the chemistry the trust that Josh Allen has in John
Speaker 1: Brown that he'll be right where he needs to be.
Speaker 1: You can see before the play, Josh Allen starts under center,
Speaker 1: he checks the play, he sees the defense that the
Speaker 1: Dolphins are in, checks the play. And after the game,
Speaker 1: I listened to John Brown's interview with reporters and he
Speaker 1: talked about, Hey, Josh came up to me on the
Speaker 1: sideline and said, if we get this look again, I'm
Speaker 1: coming to you down the sideline. And John Brown said,
Speaker 1: you know, there's not many quarterbacks in the lead that
Speaker 1: he can even make that throw. I also want to
Speaker 1: talk about Josh's leg once again. He carved up the
Speaker 1: Dolphins with his legs. He did a last year in
Speaker 1: Week seventeen, but it's still a big part of his game.
Speaker 1: And he broke one off on a quarterback read option
Speaker 1: that really came loose. Yeah. Through my radio broadcast, I'm
Speaker 1: often critical about Josh Allen taking hits outside of the
Speaker 1: pocket and him running maybe too much on some design runs.
Speaker 1: But this play, this is a read option play, so
Speaker 1: he could either hand the ball off the single terrier
Speaker 1: when that defensive end bytes take off himself. And oftentimes
Speaker 1: teams are running RPOs while those receivers will be running
Speaker 1: routes out there, the defensive backs can peel off. Well.
Speaker 1: Here the Bills truly run read option. Tyler Croft and
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie. I lead blocking for him and it allows
Speaker 1: it for a thirty six yard game. And then if
Speaker 1: you notice here, you know I often refer to a
Speaker 1: seven man box. So if you look, there's seven defenders
Speaker 1: lined up basically on Dion Dawkins on the left, with
Speaker 1: shar Jones on the line all the way over to
Speaker 1: the guy that's gonna be a man defense on Tyler Croft.
Speaker 1: The Bill only have six blockers and that's a seven
Speaker 1: man box. That's really tough. You neutralize it with the
Speaker 1: quarterback runs a great play design, great play call, and
Speaker 1: great execution by Josh Allen, and you could tell at
Speaker 1: the end of that run he wanted to get in
Speaker 1: the end zone. Let's switch ahead and let's fast forward
Speaker 1: over to the Denver Broncos. They're coming to town this weekend.
Speaker 1: You got to imagine that Josh Allen's going to be
Speaker 1: aware of where von Miller is lining up. He's one
Speaker 1: of only three active players with over one hundred sacks.
Speaker 1: What do you know about Von Miller. He's just such
Speaker 1: an impressive player. He's so active, he's great with his hands,
Speaker 1: he's super athletic, and then he's got a sneaky amount
Speaker 1: of power, which I know from experience. Actually gave up
Speaker 1: a sack to him at one time in my career
Speaker 1: on a stunt, so he can really expose anybody. But
Speaker 1: here you see him working on the left tackle and
Speaker 1: it's just a tough matchup. Riley Reef is a good
Speaker 1: tackle in this league, the left tackle for the Vikings,
Speaker 1: and he just beats him around the edge, uses his hands,
Speaker 1: use this speed and he'll get home. But he's covered
Speaker 1: so much ground coming off the football. Yeah, Von Miller
Speaker 1: has sacked fifty different quarterbacks in his career. You can
Speaker 1: see from this sack against the Jaguars that it's coming
Speaker 1: together for this Denver Broncos defense. Yeah, it is, and
Speaker 1: they're playing great football. I believe going into the game
Speaker 1: last weekday at a top five defense statistically in the league.
Speaker 1: So it'll be a matchup of two top five defenses.
Speaker 1: Would be a great matchup in Orchard Park. You know,
Speaker 1: if Ti and Secki's out for this game, Cody Ford
Speaker 1: needs to be careful with the speed rushes that von
Speaker 1: Miller will bring because he'll rush the passer from both sides,
Speaker 1: and here he gets a sack with absolute ease against
Speaker 1: Minshew in the pocket. It'll be a tough matchup for him,
Speaker 1: but it'll be an entertaining one to watch because there'll
Speaker 1: be a lot of going back and forth between him.
Speaker 1: He's Eric Wood, the radio analyst for the Bills broadcast
Speaker 1: of the home games. He'll be back in Buffalo for
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos game this week. Eric, travel safe. We'll
Speaker 1: see you on Sunday, all right, thanks, Steve. Game preview
Speaker 1: is presented by Independent Health. From your every day to
Speaker 1: your unexpected. That's the Red Share treatment. Mattie glad here
Speaker 1: at this week's game preview. The seven and three Bills
Speaker 1: are back at New air Field a head a week twelve,
Speaker 1: taking on the three and seven Broncos. They happen to
Speaker 1: be one and four on the road as well. Bills
Speaker 1: now seven and three Buffalo's best records through ten games
Speaker 1: since nineteen ninety nine. Next Sunday, Bills back home against
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos at New air Fields. The Broncos offense
Speaker 1: ranks twenty seventh in averaging seventeen point two points per game.
Speaker 1: Their threat on offense is receiver Courtland Sutton, who ranks
Speaker 1: tenth in the NFL with eight hundred and five receiving yards.
Speaker 1: He also ranks eighth with thirteen catches of twenty yards
Speaker 1: or more. Denver's defense ranks fourth in the league, allowing
Speaker 1: an average of three hundred and ten point eight yards
Speaker 1: per game. Buffalo impressed on offense last week against Miami.
Speaker 1: Wide receiver John Brown's eight hundred and seventeen receiving yards
Speaker 1: is the second most in the AFC and the most
Speaker 1: by a Bill through ten games. Quarterback Josh Allen continues
Speaker 1: to set records in his second year, as he has
Speaker 1: at least two touchdowns in the last six games, which
Speaker 1: is the longest active streak in the NFL BELL and
Speaker 1: the longest streak by a Bill since Jim Kelly in
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one. Alan also has fifteen rushing touchdowns, with
Speaker 1: Trails Cam Newton by just two for the most rushing
Speaker 1: touchdowns by a quarterback in their first two seasons. The
Speaker 1: third ranked Buffalo Bills defense, who allows just seventeen points
Speaker 1: per game, put on a show against the Dolphins, sacking
Speaker 1: quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick seven times, and the last five times
Speaker 1: the Bills and Broncos have played each other, Buffalo has
Speaker 1: won three of those five matchups. Steve back to you,
Speaker 1: thanks Mattie, and now we're back with Sean mcdermoty to
Speaker 1: get some final thoughts about the Denver Broncos coming up.
Speaker 1: You're facing a team that's a lot like the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 1: Lean on that defense. Bills number three overall defense, Denver
Speaker 1: Broncos number four overall defense. Somebody's got to score some
Speaker 1: points in this game, right, I mean, well, you got
Speaker 1: a player on your team that's gone one hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty plus attempts passing and never thrown a pick. What's
Speaker 1: that say about how committed Josh has been, how well
Speaker 1: he's taking to the coaching, the guidance that you and
Speaker 1: Dave Ball and Dorsey have given him. He seems to
Speaker 1: listen and try and do everything he's trying supposed to
Speaker 1: be doing. Sean, thanks allot to appreciate it. We're gonna
Speaker 1: take next week off for thanks Giving. We're to come back.
Speaker 1: We'll recap maybe the Denver Bronco game, look back at
Speaker 1: the Dallas game, but we're going to look forward to
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens the next time we see it. Thanks
Speaker 1: for watching, everybody, and have a great weekend. The Sean
