0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Week eight of the Sean McDermott Show, presented by Connors

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:17.960
<v Speaker 1>and Ferris, your workers' comp attorneys. I'm Chris Brown filling

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:21.560
<v Speaker 1>in for Steve Tasker, coach. Thanks for joining us. Your

0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:25.320
<v Speaker 1>defense got back on track against the Jets with six

0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:29.240
<v Speaker 1>sacks and two picks. How much confidence do you have

0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 1>in your defense after a performance like that. Yeah, I

0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:35.959
<v Speaker 1>think that was a confidence building performance fired defense and

0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 1>particular defensive line. We go as they go, and it

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 1>was good to get back on track and into a rhythm.

0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Thereti of that second half, end of the third, end

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.280
<v Speaker 1>of the second quarter, and then into the third and

0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:48.560
<v Speaker 1>fourth quarter. You held the Jets to four total yards

0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:51.320
<v Speaker 1>zero points in the second half. As you know, three

0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 1>of your six sacks and an interception came in the

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:56.400
<v Speaker 1>fourth quarter. It was the first time this year you

0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:59.640
<v Speaker 1>held the team scoreless in the second half. What's your

0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.160
<v Speaker 1>message to your defense, or at least what was it

0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:05.480
<v Speaker 1>at halftime that led to the turnaround? I thought Lesie

0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Fraser and our defensive staff really did a great job

0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:11.360
<v Speaker 1>with making critical adjustments in the locker room at halftime,

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:13.399
<v Speaker 1>and then players went out and executed at a high level.

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.240
<v Speaker 1>And more than anything, I would say, Chris, just a mindset,

0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:18.519
<v Speaker 1>the mentality that they took into that second half is

0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:21.040
<v Speaker 1>a critical ingredient for us moving forward as a defense.

0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Jerry Hughes kind of took over the game on that

0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.919
<v Speaker 1>final drive with a sack, and then the game clinching interception.

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:29.639
<v Speaker 1>Got his first two sacks of the season this year,

0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.960
<v Speaker 1>and the interception really couldn't have come at a better time.

0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 1>What kind of impact has Jerry had on your defense

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>this season? Yeah, he's been rushing extremely well and playing

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:41.200
<v Speaker 1>at a high level overall in both the run in

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:43.760
<v Speaker 1>the past game, and it was good to see him

0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 1>up the benefits of all his hard work to this point.

0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:49.800
<v Speaker 1>So we hope there's much more of that to come

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:51.799
<v Speaker 1>as we look forward to the future of this season.

0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:56.079
<v Speaker 1>And then with Levi Wallace and Josh Norman both out

0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:59.520
<v Speaker 1>with injuries, rookie Dane Jackson made his first career start

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:03.120
<v Speaker 1>at corner and then had an interception and two pass breakups.

0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:05.440
<v Speaker 1>How great was it to see him have a performance

0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 1>like that right off the bat. Yeah, so cool to

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:11.080
<v Speaker 1>watch a young guy come in seventh round draft picked

0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 1>and it was such a great job ready to go.

0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Took hold of the opportunity and really impressed. I thought

0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:18.480
<v Speaker 1>he played well at a high level, and the players

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:20.359
<v Speaker 1>around him played well. They did a great job in

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:24.600
<v Speaker 1>communicating and playing good team defense. Speaking of rookies, Tyler

0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Bass tied the franchise record with six field goals on

0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:30.480
<v Speaker 1>the eight attempts that he had, including a career long

0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:32.960
<v Speaker 1>fifty three yarder in the second quarter, and then he

0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 1>followed it up with a forty eight yard or right

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:37.840
<v Speaker 1>before the half. What did you see from your rookie

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:41.200
<v Speaker 1>kicker in what was really a breakout performance. Well, we

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:44.200
<v Speaker 1>counted on him. We put him in some critical situations,

0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:46.640
<v Speaker 1>some plans I'm not planned. The one and before the

0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:48.800
<v Speaker 1>half I thought was a high level kick, you know,

0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:51.840
<v Speaker 1>coming in executing what we did on offense with just

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.119
<v Speaker 1>two seconds to go, and then and making that big

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>kick in a small amount of time, high level execution.

0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 1>And then the kid team made down the stretch, you know, big,

0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:04.320
<v Speaker 1>big time kicks. So now it's about consistency and him

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:07.080
<v Speaker 1>continuing to work through the fundamentals that go with the job.

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Looking at the offense now, Cole Beasley had another strong

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.760
<v Speaker 1>showing eleven catches one hundred twelve yards. Five of his

0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:16.640
<v Speaker 1>receptions went for first downs. I mean he plays a

0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:18.960
<v Speaker 1>key role every week as we know in this offense,

0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:22.080
<v Speaker 1>but obviously a much bigger role with the twelve targets

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 1>against the Jets. Why do you think Beasley saw such

0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:28.920
<v Speaker 1>an increase in workload and obviously it worked out well,

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.400
<v Speaker 1>but he was he just a product of what the

0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Jets were giving you guys, in terms of the defense

0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:37.040
<v Speaker 1>as they were playing. Yeah, a little bit of both Chris,

0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:40.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, with Cole's instincts and field for his own

0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:42.920
<v Speaker 1>coverage and Josh and the way he trusts him, and

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:47.279
<v Speaker 1>they were doing some different things at times and taking

0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:49.320
<v Speaker 1>away some of the outside receiver game, and so we

0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:51.160
<v Speaker 1>were going underneath the times, which I thought showed a

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:54.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of boys by Josh and Brian Dable and then

0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:56.480
<v Speaker 1>the execution at a high level with respect to the

0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 1>connection to col there. And speaking of Josh, he had

0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:01.919
<v Speaker 1>his first game without a touchdown this year. He has

0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:04.400
<v Speaker 1>been enormously productive for you obviously, but he was still

0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.640
<v Speaker 1>over three hundred yards passing for the fourth time this season,

0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.279
<v Speaker 1>and he was also your leading rusher for the second

0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.400
<v Speaker 1>straight game with sixty one yards on the ground. How

0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:16.960
<v Speaker 1>would you evaluate Josh's performance against the Jets this past week. Well,

0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:19.239
<v Speaker 1>like I said earlier, I thought he was in control

0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:20.960
<v Speaker 1>of the game and control of the down. We got

0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:22.800
<v Speaker 1>into the red zone, we're driving the ball got into

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:24.479
<v Speaker 1>the high red zone in the fringe, and some people

0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:27.080
<v Speaker 1>referred to it, and we had some negative plays, some

0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:30.440
<v Speaker 1>self inflicted on our path through penalties, and then also

0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:33.760
<v Speaker 1>they created some on their end, so we got executed

0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.400
<v Speaker 1>at a higher level. But overall, I thought Josh saw

0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:38.440
<v Speaker 1>the defense the way you need to see the defense,

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:42.159
<v Speaker 1>was accurate with his throws and took what the defense

0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:45.960
<v Speaker 1>was giving him most of the afternoon there, and then

0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 1>he made some players with his feet and design runs

0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:51.280
<v Speaker 1>and scrambles as well. So good to see. I thought,

0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:54.000
<v Speaker 1>a good overall, you know, mature performance from Josh, and

0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:56.400
<v Speaker 1>one that one that I think will send a message

0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:58.840
<v Speaker 1>to others that we are willing to play that way

0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 1>if that's how we're going to get defend. Thanks very much, coach.

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:03.400
<v Speaker 1>We'll catch up with you later in the show to

0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.520
<v Speaker 1>get your final thoughts on your matchup coming up here

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:11.000
<v Speaker 1>with the Patriots. Choppin' Wood is presented by Saint Bonaventure University,

0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:18.599
<v Speaker 1>the official education provider of the Buffalo Bills. Welcome back

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.480
<v Speaker 1>to the Sean McDermott Show. It's time for Chopping Wood,

0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:25.200
<v Speaker 1>where our good friend Eric Wood breaks down all the tape. Eric.

0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.839
<v Speaker 1>The Bills defense stepped up big in the second half

0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:31.039
<v Speaker 1>against the Jets and took control of the game. How

0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:32.920
<v Speaker 1>did the Bills defense get back on track here in

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.880
<v Speaker 1>Week seven? Well, especially in the second half, they utilize

0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.680
<v Speaker 1>some blitz schemes that were extremely valuable. A lot of

0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:41.440
<v Speaker 1>them hit home, and that was a big difference for

0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:43.080
<v Speaker 1>the Bills. They were able to put a lot of

0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:46.559
<v Speaker 1>pressure on Sam Darnold. They brought pressure from all three

0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:49.760
<v Speaker 1>levels of the defense. Let's start in the first half

0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:53.560
<v Speaker 1>here where the Bills brought Jordan Poyer on a blitz. Yeah,

0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.039
<v Speaker 1>this is a great concept by the Bills, and Jordan

0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Poyer is able to come free off the edge, and

0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:01.640
<v Speaker 1>when the Jets are in these tight alignments, you can

0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:06.880
<v Speaker 1>disguise pressures better. It benefits the defense. There's obvious benefits

0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:08.479
<v Speaker 1>for the offense to run them, and there are certain

0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:10.480
<v Speaker 1>players you want to run out of them. But because

0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:15.160
<v Speaker 1>of their alignments, shortan ployers able to disguise this blitz

0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.960
<v Speaker 1>longer and really seventy six had no shot of blocking

0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.760
<v Speaker 1>him for the Jets all right. Then in the second quarter,

0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.880
<v Speaker 1>the Jets were driving with under a minute and the

0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:28.000
<v Speaker 1>rookie Dane Jackson came up with a big interception that

0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:30.680
<v Speaker 1>set up a field goal right before halftime. This was

0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:34.320
<v Speaker 1>a great play by Dane Jackson in his first game

0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:37.400
<v Speaker 1>for the Buffalo Bills. He drops back in coverage. A

0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:41.280
<v Speaker 1>really savvy play by him, and this came out a

0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:44.440
<v Speaker 1>huge time for the Buffalo Bills. They needed to give

0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:46.680
<v Speaker 1>a stop here. They couldn't allow the Jets of foot

0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:49.320
<v Speaker 1>more points on the board. It also gave them the

0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:52.400
<v Speaker 1>ball back with forty seconds left and allowed them to

0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:55.920
<v Speaker 1>put points on the board. You know my only critique,

0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:58.880
<v Speaker 1>young man, get your feet together. You got all these

0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 1>offensive alignment on the field, and you got blockers ahead.

0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.000
<v Speaker 1>If you go make a place on all right, Moving

0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:06.720
<v Speaker 1>to the second half. Now, in the third quarter, Leslie

0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:10.400
<v Speaker 1>Frasier continued blitzing defensive backs and brought Dean Marlow on

0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:12.680
<v Speaker 1>one that led to a sack. So again, this is

0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:16.800
<v Speaker 1>a condensed formation for the Jets, and they use plaction here.

0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.880
<v Speaker 1>And this is something that Leslie Frazier will utilize and

0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:23.480
<v Speaker 1>it's called rush to cover. And so as these guys

0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:25.080
<v Speaker 1>on the end of the line of scrimmers the two

0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:28.120
<v Speaker 1>tight ends, as they block the two guys that have

0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:32.040
<v Speaker 1>them in man demand, they will fire. So in that instance,

0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:34.720
<v Speaker 1>the defender can either when your guy blocks. You can

0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.600
<v Speaker 1>either sit back and more of a zone, maybe a

0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.240
<v Speaker 1>robber coverage played the middle of the field, or you

0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:42.880
<v Speaker 1>could fire and really put pressure on the quarterback. The

0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:45.160
<v Speaker 1>Bills this game utilize the line of man to man

0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 1>defense and that they were able to add on to

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.960
<v Speaker 1>blitzes like this, and it's extremely tough for the offense

0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:55.400
<v Speaker 1>when you're adding on and the guys can react as

0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:58.240
<v Speaker 1>fast as Dean Marlow did there. Then the fourth quarter

0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:01.320
<v Speaker 1>comes around, eric and Jerry Hughes showed up big time.

0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Let's take a look at his first sack of the game.

0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.880
<v Speaker 1>So I always say it takes two guys to make

0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:09.920
<v Speaker 1>a sack. In the NFL. We see Josh Allen avoid

0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:12.760
<v Speaker 1>single rushers all the time, and here are the Bills

0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:15.760
<v Speaker 1>line up in their double A gap package with Milano

0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:19.439
<v Speaker 1>and Edmunds in the game. In those A gaps, they

0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:23.320
<v Speaker 1>fired Tarren Johnson off the slot and by doing that

0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:26.000
<v Speaker 1>he comes free Darnel and is forced to step up

0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:30.160
<v Speaker 1>in the pocket early and Hughes, which is who's constantly

0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:34.439
<v Speaker 1>applying pressure always working throughout a game, is able to

0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:37.760
<v Speaker 1>get the strip sack. There almost a bumble recovery for

0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:40.240
<v Speaker 1>the Bills, which would have been an even bigger play.

0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:43.600
<v Speaker 1>The Jets were backed up a few plays later in

0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:46.719
<v Speaker 1>a first and twenty and Jerry Hughes wins against the

0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:49.960
<v Speaker 1>right tackle for his second sack of the game. Well,

0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:53.720
<v Speaker 1>they're at first and twenty here because Jerry Hughes drew

0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:57.200
<v Speaker 1>the holding penalty of the play before. And then, like

0:09:57.320 --> 0:09:59.360
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned before, it takes two guys to make a

0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:02.840
<v Speaker 1>sack that he defensive line applies pressure and forces him

0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:06.000
<v Speaker 1>up in the pocket. And when Darnold comes up in

0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:09.480
<v Speaker 1>the pocket, there's Jerry Hughes waiting on him, comes back

0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:12.200
<v Speaker 1>under the tackle, and that's just pure effort by fifty

0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:15.640
<v Speaker 1>five there, And honestly, at a time where the Bill's

0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:18.640
<v Speaker 1>defense needed to step up for the offense in a game,

0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:21.360
<v Speaker 1>I thought that Jerry Hughes, one of the veteran leaders

0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:24.360
<v Speaker 1>of this defense, at a great job making plays. And

0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Jerry wasn't done because on the next play he puts

0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:31.360
<v Speaker 1>the nail in the coffin with an interception. Yeah, Jerry's

0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:34.720
<v Speaker 1>a good athlete and this interception, though didn't require a

0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:38.880
<v Speaker 1>ton of athleticism. Jefferson applies the pressure, he's double team,

0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:42.480
<v Speaker 1>gets pushed into the pocket, gets his hands up, bats

0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:45.800
<v Speaker 1>the ball and at that point it goes right into

0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Jerry Hughes lap and he seals the game. And just

0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:51.320
<v Speaker 1>really happy to see Jerry gets so much production yesterday

0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:54.000
<v Speaker 1>because this is a guy that plays with constant effort,

0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:56.800
<v Speaker 1>and on the defensive side of the football, there's times

0:10:56.800 --> 0:11:00.200
<v Speaker 1>where the brakes just don't come your way. You know,

0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:01.760
<v Speaker 1>you can work as hard as you won, you can

0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:03.680
<v Speaker 1>beat your man and the coverage isn't there on that

0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:05.960
<v Speaker 1>play and so the ball comes out. And then another

0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:09.160
<v Speaker 1>play where you actually do get blocked. Then you're spotlighted

0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:11.720
<v Speaker 1>because a play goes down the field and someone's able

0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:14.600
<v Speaker 1>to complete a ball and they blame you. Well, congrats

0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:17.240
<v Speaker 1>Jerry Hughes. It all timed up well for you this week.

0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:20.040
<v Speaker 1>You had a super productive dead, a couple of sacks

0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:22.840
<v Speaker 1>of force, bumble and an interception. Way to go well

0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:25.320
<v Speaker 1>after a performance like that, it'll be great to see

0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:28.720
<v Speaker 1>if this defense can keep rolling against the past this week.

0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:33.880
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for all the insight, Eric, Absolutely good job. Chris Matti.

0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Glab here with this week's game preview. The five and

0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:38.960
<v Speaker 1>two Buffalo Bills will host the two and four Patriots,

0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.360
<v Speaker 1>who ranked third in the AFC East for a Week

0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:44.360
<v Speaker 1>eight matchup, but Tom Brady Lois Patriots have had a

0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:47.720
<v Speaker 1>tough go on offense through eight weeks, ranking twenty ninth,

0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:50.920
<v Speaker 1>averaging only nineteen point two points per game. They are

0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:52.640
<v Speaker 1>near the bottom of the league when it comes to

0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:55.960
<v Speaker 1>passing yards, averaging under two hundred a game, which ranks

0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:58.600
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight. Their sweet spot on offensive lies on their

0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:01.559
<v Speaker 1>run game, ranking four the averaging one hundred and fifty

0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:04.520
<v Speaker 1>five rushing yards game. Even though the Patriots defense looks

0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:07.320
<v Speaker 1>far different this year, they still rank twelfth, allowing an

0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:10.120
<v Speaker 1>average of twenty three point eight points per game. After

0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:13.240
<v Speaker 1>suffering two straight losses, the Bills bounced back with the

0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:16.240
<v Speaker 1>division win against the Jets in Week seven. The Bill's

0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:19.160
<v Speaker 1>offense is averaging twenty four point nine points per game,

0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:22.120
<v Speaker 1>good for twentieth and ranked six the averaging two hundred

0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:25.400
<v Speaker 1>and seventy point seven passing yards per game. Bill's quarterback

0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:28.400
<v Speaker 1>Josh Allen has his four three hundred yard passing game

0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:32.040
<v Speaker 1>this season against the Jets. Allan and his trustee receiver

0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:34.280
<v Speaker 1>step On Diggs ranked fourth in the NFL in two

0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:38.360
<v Speaker 1>different categories. Alan has two thousand and eighteen passing yards

0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.600
<v Speaker 1>so far, which is about sixty five percent of the

0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:44.280
<v Speaker 1>passing yards he had in twenty nineteen. Diggs ranks fourth

0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:47.080
<v Speaker 1>with six hundred and three receiving yards and ties for

0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:50.800
<v Speaker 1>fifth with twenty eight catches for first downs. The Bills

0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.600
<v Speaker 1>defense came alive in the second half against the Jets,

0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.480
<v Speaker 1>and the stats prove it. Buffalo win from being ranked

0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:59.240
<v Speaker 1>in the twenties to the teens and several defensive stack

0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:02.640
<v Speaker 1>categories after allowing only four net yards to the Jets

0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:05.720
<v Speaker 1>in the second half, Their defense ranks eighteenth overall and

0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:09.480
<v Speaker 1>fifteenth allowing twenty five ft four points per game. Patriots

0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:12.200
<v Speaker 1>lead the series against the Bills with seventy six wins

0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:16.120
<v Speaker 1>and forty three losses. That's this week's game preview. Thanks

0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:19.560
<v Speaker 1>very much, Mattie. Coach. You're five and two overall, three

0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.000
<v Speaker 1>and o versus the AFC East. You're currently in first

0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.520
<v Speaker 1>place in the division with your first matchup with the

0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:27.959
<v Speaker 1>Patriots coming to town this week. How important are these

0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:32.040
<v Speaker 1>division games here in the first half of the season. Yeah,

0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:35.120
<v Speaker 1>they're important, just like every game, but also important because

0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:37.480
<v Speaker 1>they're in the division. In this week at home. We

0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:39.840
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of respect for every opponent in particular

0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:42.880
<v Speaker 1>the reigning division Division chap We've got a good week

0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:45.160
<v Speaker 1>of practice and store for us. We've got to make

0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:47.760
<v Speaker 1>certain improvements to our football team, give ourselves the best

0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:49.600
<v Speaker 1>chest to win not only this week, but every week

0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:51.400
<v Speaker 1>as we moved through the remainder of the season. Here,

0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:54.240
<v Speaker 1>this is your first time facing the Patriots without Tom

0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Brady a quarterback. But they have a guy you know

0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:59.520
<v Speaker 1>very well in Cam Newton. How will he make it

0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:03.360
<v Speaker 1>different preparing for the Patriots then in years past? Well,

0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:06.319
<v Speaker 1>a different style offense because of the style of the quarterback.

0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:08.760
<v Speaker 1>A very good player and we have a lot of

0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:11.319
<v Speaker 1>respect for him. I've been around them before, as as

0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:13.440
