Speaker 1: All right, hey man, great job man, road warriors, right,
Speaker 1: road warriors man, never easy going on the road, never
Speaker 1: easing the NFL period. Right. There's a process that goes
Speaker 1: as with winning. There's also damn mentality that goes when
Speaker 1: you guys, got man, great job right there breaks down.
Speaker 1: Let's go, hey, let's go play on in the next baby,
Speaker 1: watch it, learn from it, get on to the next one.
Speaker 1: We don't bury much your day, but we're live right now. Hey,
Speaker 1: we're live. Everybody got me not. Let's go bury every
Speaker 1: man do their job. One eleven, well, Calivern defense. Let's
Speaker 1: go no overthinker, right, go play some ball. We'll play
Speaker 1: some football. It's an exciting time to be a Buffalo
Speaker 1: Bill and a fan of the Buffalo Bills. Hello everybody,
Speaker 1: and welcome to Week three of the Sean McDermott Show,
Speaker 1: presented by Connors and Farrish, your workers Camp Attorneys. Sean,
Speaker 1: thanks again for joining us. Congratulations on another victory to
Speaker 1: get to two and zero. This week was a little different.
Speaker 1: Your offense coming back scoring twice in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: It must be great to see Josh be able to
Speaker 1: do that and lead your offense back like that. It
Speaker 1: was good to see, Steve. You know, we talked about
Speaker 1: the first game, the first win and get out to
Speaker 1: a big lead in the first win, and the second game. Obviously,
Speaker 1: in this win we played a nip and tuck game
Speaker 1: back and forth and we were actually trailing as you
Speaker 1: mentioned the fourth quarter. So those are kind of good
Speaker 1: foundation builders for the season, things that we can build
Speaker 1: on and use as we move ahead here. Well, Josh
Speaker 1: once again set career highs with his passing performance is
Speaker 1: four hundred and seventeen yards, four touchdowns, throwing as probably
Speaker 1: the best we've seen him throw the football in his career.
Speaker 1: Do you think he's looked good? He really has. He's
Speaker 1: off to a nice start, Steve. You know, really not
Speaker 1: much different though than the way's practice, and I think
Speaker 1: that's a great message to all all those young players
Speaker 1: out there that, uh, there is there is an importance
Speaker 1: to practice and practicing at a high level, and that's
Speaker 1: led to the execution that you've seen in defensive scene
Speaker 1: quite honestly the last couple of weeks from our offense.
Speaker 1: And of course you can't mention Josh without talking about
Speaker 1: the monster game you got out of Steph Diggs eight catches,
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty three yards plus a touchdown. What
Speaker 1: have you learned about Diggs over these first couple of games. Well,
Speaker 1: he's an energy booster man. He loves to compete, brings great,
Speaker 1: great vibes to our sideline, to the to the bench,
Speaker 1: to the field on game day, including including practice. Really,
Speaker 1: so I've just been a great addition, and I think
Speaker 1: he's helped Josh in a lot of ways. He's an
Speaker 1: encouraging guy man, So whenever somebody uh has a play
Speaker 1: they went back, He's always there encouraging them and being
Speaker 1: a great team player, which is which is great to see.
Speaker 1: Josh connected on eight completions that went for more than
Speaker 1: twenty yards this last week. Two of them went for touchdowns,
Speaker 1: and it seems like the deep ball was a big
Speaker 1: part of his offense against the Dolphins. Wasn't a point
Speaker 1: of emphasis to add that explos of element to your
Speaker 1: passing game. I think more than anything, we were just
Speaker 1: trying to take what was there. They were going to
Speaker 1: play man covers quite a bit and press man and
Speaker 1: we knew that going down there, and I thought Coach
Speaker 1: Dablem the offensive staff put a great plan together and
Speaker 1: then the players executed at a high level, and when
Speaker 1: given the opportunity, we made some big time plays on
Speaker 1: the ball, whether it was John Brown, Cole Stefan, I mean,
Speaker 1: the backs got in, Bob Isaiah McKenzie's tight ends got involved.
Speaker 1: And then a play that should be overlooked is the
Speaker 1: great contention in the back of the end zone by
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis. And for the second straight game here history
Speaker 1: early in the season, as you might expect, a rookie
Speaker 1: scored their first NFL touchdown this week, he had two
Speaker 1: of them. Reggie Gilliams scored the first one of the
Speaker 1: day and then Gabriel Davis caught the go ahead touchdown
Speaker 1: on the fourth quarter. How great was it to see
Speaker 1: those youngsters step up and make plays for your offense. Yeah?
Speaker 1: So much fun, right, I mean, people talk pro ball
Speaker 1: and at the end of the day, these guys are
Speaker 1: They're human beings, man. They got big hearts and they
Speaker 1: loved one another, and it was just cool to see
Speaker 1: the reaction of the sideline, the reaction of the teammates
Speaker 1: on the field of gays are out there. I mean,
Speaker 1: we must have had six, seven, eight guys around around
Speaker 1: those guys when they score, and just really cool to
Speaker 1: see guys being happy for one another and celebrating one
Speaker 1: another success. In my broadcast career and in my playing career,
Speaker 1: I've seen that after getting a delay of game, like
Speaker 1: when you had a weather delay or some of your
Speaker 1: power outage in other games, the team that was in
Speaker 1: control kind of struggles to turn it back on. How
Speaker 1: tough is it to get your team to turn it
Speaker 1: back on following a long halftime and then a weather delay. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was a challenge. We were prepared for it from
Speaker 1: a preparation standpoint in terms of the organization of what
Speaker 1: we had had in store, but it is a challenge.
Speaker 1: It was a long, long halftime and then a long
Speaker 1: time if you had that together with the lightning the
Speaker 1: weather delay. So I thought we managed it as best
Speaker 1: we could, but certainly we can continue to learn from it.
Speaker 1: And at the end of the day though, we made
Speaker 1: it stops in the fourth quarter when we needed to
Speaker 1: and the offense converted and then we won the game
Speaker 1: on the on the hands team with the onsets kicked
Speaker 1: there so well and a good team win no Miami.
Speaker 1: They scored twenty eight points, got over four hundred yards
Speaker 1: of total offense. It's out of character for your team.
Speaker 1: Eighteen to those points, and about two hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: of those yards came after that weather delay. How did
Speaker 1: that impact your defense in particular in the second half.
Speaker 1: I thought we were on our heels a little bit
Speaker 1: quite honestly, Steve. And so we've got to go back
Speaker 1: and look at some things that we can do differently,
Speaker 1: and that starts with me, and you know it goes
Speaker 1: all the way down to our defensive staff and the players.
Speaker 1: We've got to do a better job. We didn't play
Speaker 1: our style defense in particular on that second half, and
Speaker 1: so we got to come out have a good wee
Speaker 1: could practice this week and put our best for four years.
Speaker 1: All right, Thanks coach. We'll catch up with you later
Speaker 1: in the show to get your final thoughts on your
Speaker 1: matchup with the Rams on Sunday. Shopping Wood is presented
Speaker 1: by Saint Bonaventure University, the official education provider of the
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Welcome back to the Sean McDermott Show, and
Speaker 1: now it's time for our good buddy Eric Wood to
Speaker 1: break down the film from the Bill win in Miami.
Speaker 1: In another edition of Chopping Wood eight, Josh Allen set
Speaker 1: another career high four hundred and seventeen yards passing, had
Speaker 1: a career high six twenty five yard plus completions. How
Speaker 1: did the Bills get their passing game going this week?
Speaker 1: They connected on a number of different ways. A lot
Speaker 1: of it was through the play action. And to think
Speaker 1: back to last year, the Miami game got them going.
Speaker 1: That was the first ball they completed over thirty yards
Speaker 1: all season. They got one of John Brown in the
Speaker 1: Miami game. And just two weeks into the season we
Speaker 1: get to play down in Miami and they got it
Speaker 1: going again. Yeah, and it's interesting too. Let's start. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of things to choose from, but we'll start.
Speaker 1: We're taking a look at the twenty six yard catch
Speaker 1: to Cole Beasley in the middle of that first touchdown
Speaker 1: driver the Bills. Ninety seven yards happened early in the
Speaker 1: game and it got him off to a good start.
Speaker 1: It did. And Cole Beasley as the third receiver for
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills just seems crazy the way he's able
Speaker 1: to separate. He's such a valuable piece for them in
Speaker 1: the slot. And the Bills utilized play a lot. They
Speaker 1: used a lot of crossing rounds and here they don't
Speaker 1: even get a great rub. But Josh Allen showed incredible
Speaker 1: touch on his crossing rounds yesterday, not rifling it too hard,
Speaker 1: not leaving too much air under it where the dB
Speaker 1: could make a playoff. Thought he was just absolutely perfect
Speaker 1: and a lot of his touch plays. And as you
Speaker 1: notice here, Josh has all day to throw, and he
Speaker 1: did all day yesterday. The offensive line, the tight ends
Speaker 1: when they were in, the running backs, everybody protected well.
Speaker 1: Later down in that drive, the Bills are on goal line,
Speaker 1: and for the second week in the road, they're gonna
Speaker 1: come out in big, heavy personnel and run a hard
Speaker 1: play action for the touchdown. Yeah, last week we saw
Speaker 1: Josh Allen bootleg out and Ryan Bates was actually trying
Speaker 1: to release late and Josh Allen raining in himself. This
Speaker 1: time they run another hard play action and Josh Allen
Speaker 1: rolls out to his right instead of his left. Last
Speaker 1: week Seese Reggie Gilliam and for the rookie, this is
Speaker 1: a contested play on the goal line. It's a great catch,
Speaker 1: making a catch outside of his body, bringing it in
Speaker 1: and getting in for the touchdown. We had two Bills
Speaker 1: make their first touchdowns yesterday in Gabriel Davis and Reggie Gilliam.
Speaker 1: Congrats to those guys. Yeah. Now let's go to the
Speaker 1: second quarter. On a first and ten, the Bills are
Speaker 1: gonna run play action again, this time out of shotgun.
Speaker 1: Yeah they are. And this is a hard play action
Speaker 1: again and like I said earlier, the protection once again
Speaker 1: is there for the Bills and just another great execution
Speaker 1: making plays down the field for the Bills. And Josh
Speaker 1: again puts a great touch on this ball almost. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's a risky throw, but when you have a receiver
Speaker 1: like Diggs a lot of times he can almost play
Speaker 1: defensive back if you need him to. So you let
Speaker 1: a guy like Diggs go up and make plays for you.
Speaker 1: And I love the way dig snatches the ball out
Speaker 1: of the air on this plane. Later on in the game,
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins take the lead for the first time
Speaker 1: and the first player to drive, what do they do.
Speaker 1: They're gonna draw one up at their number one guy,
Speaker 1: And this is an other big play to it is
Speaker 1: and it's a great sign that when the game's on
Speaker 1: the line, the Bills are confident in Josh airing the
Speaker 1: ball out down the field. And look at the separation.
Speaker 1: That's the fond Diggs is able to get there, and
Speaker 1: that's just that's what the lead receivers in this league
Speaker 1: can do. They can separate like that. And he's upset
Speaker 1: with himself and appears at the end of the play
Speaker 1: that he slipped and he didn't get in for the touchdown.
Speaker 1: But for the Bills when they absolutely needed to play most,
Speaker 1: it's so great that they have the confidence to good
Speaker 1: on the field. Tyler Croft with a great one on
Speaker 1: one block on that play as well against Kyle van Noy,
Speaker 1: who's been a productive fast Rusher's Bill seen him and
Speaker 1: a Patriots un from the last couple of years. He
Speaker 1: makes a great block on this play to allow Josh
Speaker 1: Allen to get this ball off down the field. All right.
Speaker 1: Here they are with a third down, critical third down,
Speaker 1: and they got to go back to the play action
Speaker 1: again for the nail in the coffin. This is the
Speaker 1: nail in the coffin and Josh Allen just barely misses
Speaker 1: John Brown. Seems like a miscommunication a couple plays prior
Speaker 1: where John Round broke off around Josh Allen threw it
Speaker 1: high and here the safety is gonna jumps to fond
Speaker 1: Diggs and when he does that John Brown's gonna be
Speaker 1: wide open over the top of the defense, and this
Speaker 1: is a great pitching catch, great execution by them, And
Speaker 1: like I said on the previous play, for them to
Speaker 1: have the confidence to allow Josh to throw the ball
Speaker 1: out there and let a loose down the field shows
Speaker 1: tremendous confidence in their thirty year quarterback and he's and
Speaker 1: he's letting it pay off for them. He leads the
Speaker 1: league in passing two games into the season. Who would
Speaker 1: have thought that if you would have said yards from scrimmage.
Speaker 1: I think maybe Bills fans would believe you, thinking he
Speaker 1: did a lot of it with his legs. But he
Speaker 1: throws this ball fifty five yards flat footed from the pocket.
Speaker 1: The Bills fans, the Bills organization has got to be
Speaker 1: fired up with the play that they're getting out at
Speaker 1: their thirty year quarterback early in this season. Eric, thanks
Speaker 1: so much for the inside and we're gonna talk to
Speaker 1: you next week we break down the film against the
Speaker 1: La Rams. Thank budd, I'm looking forward to Steve. Game
Speaker 1: preview is presented by in Debt Pended Health. You deserve
Speaker 1: the Red Shared Treatment. Mattie glab here with this week's
Speaker 1: game preview. It's the battle of two undefeated teams as
Speaker 1: the Bills host the Rams in Week three. It will
Speaker 1: be Buffalo's first of four games against the NFC West.
Speaker 1: La brings in a high power offense that ranks fifth
Speaker 1: in the NFL, averaging four hundred and thirty five point
Speaker 1: five yards per game. The run game boasts one hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy two rushing yards a game. Rams quarterback Jared
Speaker 1: Goff leads an offense that converts fifty five point two
Speaker 1: percent of their third downs. Goff is completing sixty eight
Speaker 1: point nine percent of his passes with the tenth best
Speaker 1: one hundred and eight point five rating. The Rams defense,
Speaker 1: with Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey, has only allowed eighteen
Speaker 1: points per game, which is third best in the league.
Speaker 1: Bill's quarterback Josh Allen is coming off back to back
Speaker 1: career games. After his four hundred and seventeen yard four
Speaker 1: t D day against the Dolphins. Buffalo as the third
Speaker 1: best offense, averaging four hundred and sixty four yards a game.
Speaker 1: Allan leads the NFL in passing yards with seven hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty nine, while his new connection Stefon Diggs ties
Speaker 1: for the lead league in receiving yards with two hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty nine. Eleven of diggs sixteen catches have been
Speaker 1: for first downs. After allowing twenty eight points to Miami,
Speaker 1: Buffalo's defense still ranks with the best at fifth in
Speaker 1: the league. While the Rams have a rushing offense that
Speaker 1: ranks third, the Bills have a rushing defense that also
Speaker 1: ranks third, allowing only seventy five and a half yards
Speaker 1: per game. The Bills are currently the only team in
Speaker 1: the NFL to rank in top five on total offense
Speaker 1: and defense. That's this week's game preview, Steve back to you.
Speaker 1: Thanks as always, Mattie. Now, coach, you've played both on
Speaker 1: the road and in front of some fans and at
Speaker 1: a home empty stadium. You've gotten a taste of the
Speaker 1: different environments you're gonna play in this year. Do you
Speaker 1: feel like home field advantage is still a factor in
Speaker 1: this unique season? Well, it isn't. It isn't. I mean, honestly,
Speaker 1: we love our fans, and it was great to see
Speaker 1: those fans down in Florida this past weekend, and we're
Speaker 1: gonna miss them when we're back home here, but we
Speaker 1: know they're outside, man, cheering for us. Watching watching us
Speaker 1: from home and from everywhere across our country in the world.
Speaker 1: We know they're in our hearts, and we want them
Speaker 1: to know that we're thinking of them as we play,
Speaker 1: and that twelfth Man supportant to us. We wish that
Speaker 1: they could be here. Obviously that's not a decision that
Speaker 1: we can make, but we wish someday hopefully they'll return
Speaker 1: and we'll be able to plan in front of them again.
Speaker 1: The Los Angeles Rams, I've got a couple of top
Speaker 1: defenders as they come into town. They've got a top
Speaker 1: elape player in Aaron Donald and also Jalen Ramsey. Guys
Speaker 1: like that on the other side of the ball. How
Speaker 1: do they impact your process in getting a game plan together. Well,
Speaker 1: you got to have a complimentary plan that that's cohesive
Speaker 1: and fits together with all three phases. Those guys are
Speaker 1: tough to deal with. They're guys that conrect game plans,
Speaker 1: and so we've got to be very aware of them
Speaker 1: as we shape our game plans and strategic ye'd also
Speaker 1: be aggressing on what we're doing and how we do
Speaker 1: it well. The Rams come to town this week two
Speaker 1: and O. Both your offense and the Rams are averaging
Speaker 1: over four hundred yards a game so far this year.
Speaker 1: What type of game are you expecting against the La
Speaker 1: Rams or it's going to be a big challenge. Like
Speaker 1: I said before, they're a good football team, well coached.
Speaker 1: You know, we've got to make sure that we continue
Speaker 1: to grow as a football team this week as we prepare.
Speaker 1: Thanks coach, good luck on Sunday. We're going to be
Speaker 1: back next week to break down the game with the
Speaker 1: Rams and look forward to the bills first trip to
Speaker 1: Las Vegas to face the Raiders. Thanks for watching The
