Speaker 1: Pull through a lot of stuff to get here, including
Speaker 1: the adversity in that game. Right there, Man, right, you're
Speaker 1: a resiliing group, man, A damn resiliant group, A bunch
Speaker 1: of resilient man right here, men and women. In fact,

Speaker 1: Man can is a little bit like that really game.
Speaker 1: But you kept pushing, you kept pushing, you stayed aggressive.

Speaker 1: man do their job. One eleven, Well, Calvin defense, Let's
Speaker 1: go no overthinker, right, Go play some ball, Go play
Speaker 1: some football. It's an exciting time to be a Buffalo
Speaker 1: Bill and a fan of the Buffalo Bills. Welcome to
Speaker 1: Week two of the Sean mcderr Show, presented by Connors
Speaker 1: and Farrish, your workers camp attorneys. Sean, thanks so much
Speaker 1: as always for joining us off a big Week one
Speaker 1: victory against your division rival in New York Jets. Your
Speaker 1: quarterback Josh Allen. He set a career high with three
Speaker 1: hundred and twelve passing yards, and he also set a
Speaker 1: career high in completions and pass attempts. He also passed
Speaker 1: for career best seventeen first downs. I mean, it's not
Speaker 1: a bad start to his third year in the league.
Speaker 1: What you see from Josh coming to the league to
Speaker 1: open this season, Yeah, he thought. I thought he got
Speaker 1: off to a great start. Steve, and our offense overall
Speaker 1: got off to a great start at Thart. Coach Table
Speaker 1: had a good game plan, got him into a rhythm early,
Speaker 1: and really what I've seen at practice, this is what
Speaker 1: they executed at a high level, especially in the first
Speaker 1: half or most of the first half there. He was
Speaker 1: also the leading rusher in the game for the Bills.
Speaker 1: He had fifty seven yards on fourteen rush attempts. Some
Speaker 1: of them were designed, some of them he just broke
Speaker 1: out a contained in the pocket. He also lost two fumbles,
Speaker 1: which everybody's been talking about. But how do you feel
Speaker 1: about Jock being your leading rushing Was that a good
Speaker 1: stat or a bad stat or was it a game
Speaker 1: specific stat just for the Jets, What are your thoughts
Speaker 1: about Josh leading the team in rushing well and without
Speaker 1: getting too much in the strategy, Steve, you know, I
Speaker 1: think we did what we had to do to win
Speaker 1: the game. At the end of the day, it's it's
Speaker 1: got to be a good healthy balance within that game
Speaker 1: plan and so and at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: even more important, you can't lose the ball. And so
Speaker 1: that's that's a fundamental We've got to continue to work
Speaker 1: on and grow with Josh as we move forward here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: then you got some nice performance out of the new guys.
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs eight catches for eighty six yards, six of
Speaker 1: those for first downs, John Brown six for seventy and
Speaker 1: he also had a touchdown. After the game, he said
Speaker 1: Josh had two number one wide receivers. Josh Allen said
Speaker 1: that himself, how great was it to see a solid
Speaker 1: performance out of Digs and Brown to start the season? Well,
Speaker 1: it was great to see. And I gotta give a
Speaker 1: lot of credit to John Brown. He's he's so unselfish
Speaker 1: in his approach, and honestly, I think Stefan Diggs has
Speaker 1: been able to get in here and not only show
Speaker 1: us what he can do, but learn from from John
Speaker 1: in some ways. And so that those two have done
Speaker 1: a phenomenal job. And I don't want to leave out
Speaker 1: either what Cole Beasley has done and now gave Davis
Speaker 1: and Isaiah McKenzie. It's a good core and so we're
Speaker 1: excited to see how that's going to continue to grow
Speaker 1: this season. One of the things I saw from the
Speaker 1: radio booth, offensive coordinator Brian Dable was really creative with
Speaker 1: this play calling, especially early in the game. You started
Speaker 1: the game with a variety of looks, different personnel groupings.
Speaker 1: Seemed like the plan was to spread the Jets out
Speaker 1: as much as possible. Is that the identity of your
Speaker 1: offense or do you have a unique plan for a
Speaker 1: game each week? Was this a Jet specific game plan
Speaker 1: or was this something you do every year? Because I
Speaker 1: saw you did it also to the Jets in Week
Speaker 1: one last year. Yeah, it's you know again. I want
Speaker 1: to give credit with credits to here, to coach Dave
Speaker 1: on the offensive staff. I thought they put their their
Speaker 1: collective heads together and came up with a good plan.
Speaker 1: And whether we do that next time or whether it's
Speaker 1: just for the Jets. At the end of the day,
Speaker 1: it was about us executing at a high level with
Speaker 1: great fundamentals, the blocking, the catching, the throwing, things that
Speaker 1: people take for granted. I thought we did at a
Speaker 1: high level in particular early in the game and then
Speaker 1: in the late to third only fourth we did it
Speaker 1: again at a high level. So play to work on,
Speaker 1: but good to see. Well. Zach Mosson Devin Singletary each
Speaker 1: had nine rushes. Devon had averaged three point three yards
Speaker 1: a carry, while Zach only had eleven yards on his
Speaker 1: nine carries. What will it take to get more out
Speaker 1: of those running backs against the Miami Dolphins. Well, that's
Speaker 1: something we've got to make sure we continued to develop.
Speaker 1: You've got to be able to handle the ball to
Speaker 1: the backs in order to gain tough yards. And we've
Speaker 1: got two good backs we believe in and a third
Speaker 1: or fourth as well on our depth chart and t
Speaker 1: j Yelden and Taiwan Jones. So you know, we have
Speaker 1: to continue to grow as a football team. That is
Speaker 1: one area that's on the to do lists as we
Speaker 1: move forward here, as well as many others. Well, outside
Speaker 1: of one long touchdown to crowd or you're defense basically
Speaker 1: shut down the Jets. You held them the fifty two
Speaker 1: yards on the ground two hundred and two passing yards.
Speaker 1: What did you see from your defense against the Jets
Speaker 1: that you hope to carry into Week two? Well, I
Speaker 1: thought they played hard and they ran into the football.
Speaker 1: And I know that sounds rather simple, but something we
Speaker 1: don't take for granted. We coach it, our players buy
Speaker 1: into that. Just the swarming mentality and running to the football.
Speaker 1: That paid off when we had the strip there of
Speaker 1: the tight end and the flat and got the takeaway
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter there, and that was a big
Speaker 1: takeaway for us in terms of the momentum of the game,
Speaker 1: and we cashed in there. So just overall, continuing to
Speaker 1: move forward with our defense. A lot to be a
Speaker 1: lot to be learned from this game, and it all
Speaker 1: starts up front. We've got to do some better things
Speaker 1: up front. Play more physical, more physical, excuse me, more
Speaker 1: nasty upfront and and you know, so a lot we
Speaker 1: can work on, but a lot of good things in
Speaker 1: that first game. Thanks Sean. We're gonna catch up with
Speaker 1: you later in this show to get your final thoughts
Speaker 1: on the Miami Dolphins. Thanks for taking a little time
Speaker 1: right now for us. Yep, sure, Steve shopping Wood is
Speaker 1: presented by Saint Bonaventure University, the official education provider of
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Welcome back to the Sean McDermott show.
Speaker 1: And now it's time to break down the game film
Speaker 1: from week one with our good friend Eric Wood in
Speaker 1: a segment we like to call chopping Wood. Eric. Josh
Speaker 1: Allen had a career day three hundred and twelve yards passing,
Speaker 1: but he also led the team in rushing. What stood
Speaker 1: out most to you about josh and performance against New
Speaker 1: York Yeah, I loved the attack that Brian day Ball
Speaker 1: drew up first third year signal caller. He gave him
Speaker 1: some easy throws, he gave him some screens, some design runs.
Speaker 1: I felt like the way they spread the ball all
Speaker 1: over the field set Josha for success the entire day. Well,
Speaker 1: let's take a look at some of the ways Josh
Speaker 1: was used in that running game. We'll start with a
Speaker 1: quarterback draw and this came early in the game on
Speaker 1: a second and thirteen. Yeah, the bills are backed up here,
Speaker 1: not an ideal situation to call plays, and Brian day
Speaker 1: Ball calls up one of his favorite plays, and it's
Speaker 1: the QB draw. When you run the ball on a
Speaker 1: design run with the quarterback, you add an extra blocker.
Speaker 1: Josh is also one of the most effective runners here.
Speaker 1: He runs for twelve yards on second and thirteen get
Speaker 1: you back to a very easy pick up on third
Speaker 1: and one, and he takes out my guy Fischetti at
Speaker 1: the end, poor guy Chris Chetti, but took the front
Speaker 1: of this shot at the end. Had not the best
Speaker 1: hit Josh took all day. But it was a good one.
Speaker 1: I know, a poor Fischetti, but it was a great
Speaker 1: play called Brian day ball there in the first quarters. Well,
Speaker 1: we also saw a read option concept on a second
Speaker 1: and one. This one, Josh keeps it on the read
Speaker 1: and he runs it for a first doubt. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: this is Josh being an athlete. This is almost new
Speaker 1: school triple option. So out of the shotguns, the first
Speaker 1: option is the jet suite, the second one is the
Speaker 1: play fake, and there he reverses field takes a shot
Speaker 1: at the end. I wish he wouldn't take, but Josh
Speaker 1: has said it himself. He likes to take a shot
Speaker 1: early in the game to get himself going. Hopefully he'll
Speaker 1: break himself out of that. But John, with an effective
Speaker 1: run here the defensive end, makes a great play. He
Speaker 1: gives Josh the read to keep it, then forces Josh
Speaker 1: the reverse fields. Luckily, Josh is a good enough athlete
Speaker 1: to make a positive play out of it. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was a great athletic run by the quarterback, and he
Speaker 1: also had another run and he'd have this touchdown, which
Speaker 1: is just a classic naked bootleg. They come in with big,
Speaker 1: huge personnel and give it to the quarterback all by himself. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Here you have eight offensive linemen on the field, and
Speaker 1: at first I thought this was simply Brian dave All
Speaker 1: calling a run play and just telling Josh Allen to
Speaker 1: keep it. A lot of times, that makes the sell
Speaker 1: really hard with the offensive line and no one expects it.
Speaker 1: If anything, Josh can make one guy missed. Well. When
Speaker 1: I saw Ryan Bates leak out on the replay, I
Speaker 1: realize it's the play that they've been running for Dion
Speaker 1: Dawkins the last couple of years now. They had Bates
Speaker 1: running it and Bates was unable to get a release.
Speaker 1: Poor guy could have gotten himself a touchdown, but because
Speaker 1: he releases, he draws forty eight and then that gives
Speaker 1: Josh Allen the free run of the end. Let's take
Speaker 1: a look at some of the things that he did
Speaker 1: in the passing game to get that career high three
Speaker 1: hundred and twelve passing yards. We're gonna start with the
Speaker 1: touchdown to the rookie, Zach Moss. Yeah. The first thing
Speaker 1: that sticks out to me on this play is the
Speaker 1: pass protection Josh Allen has all day to throw the ball.
Speaker 1: And that's what happens when you wear out of defensive
Speaker 1: line and keep them in ten personnel, whether they're constantly
Speaker 1: rushing the passwords, you put together these long drives. The
Speaker 1: defensive line gets wore out, but Josh sits in the
Speaker 1: pocket very patiently escapes the pocket the last second. By moving,
Speaker 1: you create new windows in the zone. And when he moved,
Speaker 1: he was able to find Zach Moss for his first
Speaker 1: touchdown in the Bills uniform. Yeah, Zach Moss with the touchdown.
Speaker 1: Nice to see the rookie get involved early. He also
Speaker 1: spread the ball around quite a bit. And let's take
Speaker 1: a look at a first down completion, and I thought
Speaker 1: I was really important that the Bills did come out
Speaker 1: and threw it on first down. They threw it a
Speaker 1: ton in this game, but this one is the completion
Speaker 1: to John Brown in the first goal. Yeah, eight different
Speaker 1: guys can passive of the Bills. You're right, they did
Speaker 1: spread it around. This is just a simple dig route,
Speaker 1: and he could have either thrown it behind that linebacker
Speaker 1: like he did there, or waited for him devoid the
Speaker 1: zone and cross him. Josh Allen does a great job
Speaker 1: of just using that strong arm gun it passed the
Speaker 1: linebacker for a completion and him and John Brown picked
Speaker 1: up right where they left off last year, which was
Speaker 1: great to see. I was a little worried with Stefon
Speaker 1: Diggs coming in that maybe forget about his boy John
Speaker 1: Brown a little bit, and he sure didn't yesterday. Well,
Speaker 1: we finally get a chance to see the new toy
Speaker 1: of this offense, Stefan Diggs. There's a nice throat to
Speaker 1: him once again on first and ten. Yeah, Josh was
Speaker 1: eight for nine when throwing to his new guy Stefon
Speaker 1: Diggs yesterday, which is a great sign. That's a great
Speaker 1: sign for the four that he has here. But this
Speaker 1: is a hard play action. You got crossing routs coming
Speaker 1: across the field. Stefon Digs does a great job press
Speaker 1: in the corner up the field, then releasing across the
Speaker 1: field to create that separation and it's just an easy
Speaker 1: pitch and catch for Josh. And this is this is
Speaker 1: a chunk play. These these types of twenty yard games
Speaker 1: like this. Those aren't that easy in the NFL, and
Speaker 1: Joshin Stavan make it look very easy right here. Eric,
Speaker 1: great stuff is always It's always nice to chop some Woodwickie.
Speaker 1: Thanks for chopping up the film with us today and
Speaker 1: we'll see you next week talk about the Miami game.
Speaker 1: Thanks absolutely, my pleasure. Game preview is presented by in
Speaker 1: Debt pend in Health. You deserve the red shared treatment.
Speaker 1: Matti glab here with this week's game preview. The one
Speaker 1: in All Bills have their first away game of the
Speaker 1: season in Week two as they head to Miami to
Speaker 1: take on the Oen one Dolphins. It will be Buffalo's
Speaker 1: first game of the season with fans in the stands.
Speaker 1: We won't see quarterback to a tongue of Iloa this week,
Speaker 1: as Miami's head coach confirmed Bryan Fitzpatrick will start Week two.
Speaker 1: Fitz didn't have the best Week one, throwing three interceptions
Speaker 1: in New England. While Miami's twenty seventh ranked offense from
Speaker 1: last season didn't add too many new skill players, they
Speaker 1: do have a new offensive coordinator in Chan Gailey, who
Speaker 1: is the Bill's head coach from twenty ten to twenty twelve.
Speaker 1: The Dolphins thirty second ranked score defense set allowed thirty
Speaker 1: point nine points per game in twenty nineteen, got a
Speaker 1: facelift this offseason. They added players like corner Byron Jones,
Speaker 1: linebacker Kyle van Noy, former Bills Shack Lawson, and drafted
Speaker 1: first round corner Noah Igbanagheny. The Buffalo Bills showed off
Speaker 1: their variety of offensive weapons during opening weekend, passing the
Speaker 1: ball to eight different players. Their four hundred and four
Speaker 1: total yards of offense ties for sixth best in the league.
Speaker 1: Quarterback Josh Allen set a career high with the three
Speaker 1: hundred and twelve passing yards, which ranks fifth in the NFL.
Speaker 1: The quarterback now has eleven games in which he passed
Speaker 1: and rushed for a touchdown. The Bills defense picked up
Speaker 1: where they left off, allowing just two hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: four yards, which trains third best in the league. Their
Speaker 1: fifty two rushing yards allowed ranks second. With the sack
Speaker 1: against Sam Darnold, defensive end Trent Murphy has seven sacks
Speaker 1: and two forced fumbles over the last seven games. The
Speaker 1: Bills have won five of the last six games against
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. That's this week's game preview, Steve to you.
Speaker 1: Thanks Mattie Sean. You guys are going to go on
Speaker 1: the road for the first time this year. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be the first time you guys get to play in
Speaker 1: front of fans. What's gonna be different for your team
Speaker 1: preparing to play on the road in front of fans
Speaker 1: this week? Well, a lot'll be different, just the whole
Speaker 1: process of the travel of the trip. But I'm confident
Speaker 1: just like I watched our staff prepare and do a
Speaker 1: good job with getting training camp up and running, I'm
Speaker 1: confident that they'll do the same with our trip down
Speaker 1: to Florida so that the team, the coaches, and the
Speaker 1: players in particular can focus on the game on the grass.
Speaker 1: So you know, listen, at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: we've got a job to do, and we expect to
Speaker 1: have a good week of practice and go down there
Speaker 1: and and I face a good Miami Dolphins football team.
Speaker 1: What do you expect to see from Miami in Week two?
Speaker 1: I know it's early, we don't know much about everybody
Speaker 1: around the league yet, but what do you feel like
Speaker 1: you gotta get done in Miami. But we've got to
Speaker 1: continue to put our best foot forward and play good
Speaker 1: team football, complimentary football, and all three phases were not
Speaker 1: a in this product by any means. So I want
Speaker 1: to see us to continue to grow, take another step,
Speaker 1: a critical step in our in our development. Again, it's
Speaker 1: going to be a tough football game. This is a
Speaker 1: tough football team that took New England to the wire
Speaker 1: right there, and then they turned the ball over in
Speaker 1: the red zone when I was getting close in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter there. So we expect a very tough football
Speaker 1: team football game, and and so we've got to make
Speaker 1: sure we're ready to go. Thank you so much. We'll
Speaker 1: see you next week on the Sean McDermott Show. Appreciate
Speaker 1: your time, good luck in Miami. We'll be here next
Speaker 1: week to wrap up that game and look forward to
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams as they come to Orchard Park
Speaker 1: to take on the Bills. Thanks Sean, we'll talk to
