Sunday Night in primetime it was not 10 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 2: a glowing showing for the Colts as they fell to 11 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 2: the Vikings in another tight game. And now they return 12 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 2: home to take on the red hot seven and two 13 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,879 Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills week nine after playing four or five on 14 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 2: the road.

R V. What's happening today? 19 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 2: How you feeling after that Sunday night or in Minneapolis? 20 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 2: Have you caught up on sleep? 21 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 3: Well, you know, I felt really bad as you know. 22 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 3: I just couldn't hardly talk coming home, and that's odd 23 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 3: for me. But I got that was pretty quiet. It 24 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 3: was I don't know it was movies. I guess I was. 25 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 3: It was awful. I was watching that Caesar Shabyz. That's 26 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 3: what I had reached down to. 27 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 2: And be honest with Wow, you're going now you're digging 28 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,040 Speaker 2: deep in the archive there on the plane. 29 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 3: I'm going, I'm going sixties unionizing. I mean, so you 30 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 3: picked that. 31 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 2: Over friends or something. 32 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 3: Huh. But I will tell you this, I did you 33 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 3: know we talked about. I got home by the same 34 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 3: time you did, about four h five through the through 35 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 3: the countryside of Jesus up here. I got home and then, 36 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 3: but I will say this, I fell right asleep. There 37 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 3: was no there was no after burn on this one. 38 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 3: It was all burned out on the trip. So yeah, 39 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 3: and so I got a good night's yesterday. I got 40 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 3: a lot done, got sleep, and you know what, feel 41 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 3: really good today, really good. Ready to roll. 42 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,119 Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you, You're always ready to roll. Baby. 43 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 2: Let's keep the wheels on the road here, Rick vent 44 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 2: Terry right there, all right. So before we get into 45 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 2: the blueprints, and talk about the Bills. Let's talk about news. 46 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 2: The Colts do not make any moves at the trade 47 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 2: deadline earlier this week, so that's done in past. And 48 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 2: the team also plays center Ryan Kelly on injured reserve 49 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 2: on Tuesday. He's had caff and he issues this season, 50 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 2: so that means he's gonna miss at least the next 51 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 2: four games. Hopefully it's just four games. And that's just 52 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 2: another layer to this Colts offensive line piece right now. Rick, 53 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 2: When it comes to injuries, Bernard Rieman missed last week's 54 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 2: game with concussion, so we'll see where he is this week. 55 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 2: Will Fries, as we know, lost for the season at 56 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 2: the right guard spot, so Dalton Tucker's played and started 57 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 2: the last four games there, and then Tanner Bordolini is 58 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 2: likely to move in the center role for Ryan Kelly 59 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 2: during his absence. So what do you make of all 60 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 2: the moving and shaking lately for the Colts along that 61 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 2: offensive line before we talk about the Vikings. 62 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really amazing, and you know we ended up 63 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 3: you know, you end up with three rookies in there. 64 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 3: I mean you end up with you know, Marshall Tucker 65 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 3: at right guard. 66 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 2: You know that's my line. 67 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 3: Come on, now, I stole your line. 68 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 2: On your line that would be Dalton Tucker from Marshall University. 69 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 3: Yes, exactly. Now, Bordolini has played well in the two 70 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 3: games that he played for Kelly, you know, and really 71 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 3: and truly I hate to say it, because I think 72 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 3: Kelly has been a terrific player. He's the pivot of 73 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 3: that line. He's a guy that is really smart and 74 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 3: can redirect protections and he's really valuable in there. But honestly, 75 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 3: in his career now and it really goes back to Alabama, 76 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 3: He's missed a lot of time. He's just missed a 77 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 3: lot of time and that may be a factor in 78 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 3: the in his future here. And like I said, I 79 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 3: think they have a real comer in Borlini. Now he 80 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:02,119 Speaker 3: doesn't have the experience. Good thing. Buffalo is very vanilla. 81 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 3: The only difference is they've got a guy like Oliver 82 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 3: inside who they can put him down on there and 83 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 3: give him quickness like he's never seen. Maybe the most 84 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 3: important one is to see if we can get Bernie 85 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 3: back at left tackle because the strength of the Buffalo Bills. 86 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 3: They're not a blitz team, they're not exotic, but with 87 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 3: Rousseau on one side, Espiniza on the other side, and 88 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 3: now the big guy coming back. You know that that 89 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 3: gives them, that gives them excellent edge rushers. And actually, 90 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 3: you know, actually Gonzalves hung in there pretty well until 91 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 3: we got down two possessions, and then when we got 92 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 3: down two possessions, you know, then it was like target 93 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 3: practice on Flacco. They started. And that's this is what 94 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 3: I said in the pregame, you know, is that it's 95 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 3: not just one on one. It's a game of stunts. 96 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 3: And when that starts, those lines stunts started happening. Then 97 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 3: you know, Nelson wasn't used to him there. Like I said, 98 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 3: it was target practice. So I think the two tackle 99 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 3: physicians are more important than anything coming into this one. 100 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 2: Matt, all right, So the Colts are also staying with 101 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 2: Joe Flacco at quarterback despite the offense, like we said 102 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 2: on Monday, not finding the end zone or the red 103 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 2: zone on Sunday night. And they're also coming off season 104 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 2: low's rick in offensive points, yards, first downs, and rushing yards. 105 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 2: The defense held the Vikings scoreless in the first half, 106 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 2: recorded three takeaways for the game, but they still allowed 107 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 2: Minnesota to wrack up a respectable rushing number. They had 108 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 2: a season high and completions over twenty yards with seven 109 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 2: allowed and three passing touchdowns and a career high eighty 110 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 2: two percent completion percentage to Sam Darnold. Rick, So, put 111 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 2: the Vikings game to bed for us, and describe your 112 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 2: fallout from the game as we go into game number nine. 113 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 3: Well, you know, I think we had a good discussion. 114 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 3: You brought up a really good point Monday night on 115 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 3: the round table. I think the bottom line for the 116 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 3: Colts is they're not playing sixty minutes of championship football. 117 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 3: You see flashes of good football, but you don't see 118 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 3: sixty minutes of good football. Whether that's coaching, you know, 119 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 3: whether that's offense, defense, special teams, it's just not there. 120 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 3: I think, from a positive standpoint, like most teams in 121 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 3: the NFL, if they put a sixty minute game together, 122 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 3: there's no there's no game like Buffalo they can't win. 123 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 3: But at this point in time, you know, offensively, we've 124 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 3: been on a three week slide. I mean, and I 125 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 3: think the worst statistic of all is the fact that 126 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 3: we're nine for forty seven on third down. That's with 127 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 3: two quarterbacks. You know, that's nineteen percent, and that's telling 128 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 3: you you just can't stay on the field. And then defensively, 129 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 3: we're twenty fourth on third down, so you can't get 130 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 3: off the field. And I think that's if you if 131 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 3: you want to go big Pitcher. Those are the two 132 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 3: biggest issues. I think one of the problems that Stikean 133 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,799 Speaker 3: has and I think he suffered. I think his play 134 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 3: calling has been shaky in the last three weeks, is 135 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 3: that you when you're in a two quarterback system, not 136 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 3: that you're playing two at one, but you and one 137 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 3: is diametrically opposed to the other one. One guy is 138 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 3: totally different than the other one. It's very hard Matt 139 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 3: to develop an in game identity. It just really is, 140 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 3: because you have to be totally different with Flacco venu 141 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 3: are with ar five. So I mean, that's created a 142 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 3: real mess to me. On offense, there's no doubt about it. 143 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 3: And defensively we lavish praise on him. But you have 144 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 3: to separate good playmaking from good defense. If it was 145 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 3: my day and I gave up four hundred and sixteen yards, 146 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 3: I let the quarterback throw for eighty two percent, and 147 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 3: I let the best receiver in football run wild for 148 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 3: nineteen six, the highest he's ever had. I'd be fired 149 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 3: in New Orleans by Monday. Okay, So I'm not buying 150 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 3: into all this. And I've seen this kind of vanilla 151 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 3: defense for forty four games over and over. So the 152 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 3: only thing I'm gonna say is if that doesn't change, 153 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 3: if it doesn't evolve, there will always be a ceiling 154 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 3: on how far this team can go. And then special teams. 155 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 3: We got a high priced guy that you might as 156 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 3: well nickname him wide Left. So all the issues can 157 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 3: be good enough, and they can be good enough this 158 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 3: week if you play smart and you play well. But 159 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 3: until we can put that sixty minutes together, that's gonna 160 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 3: be the issue. 161 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 2: All right. Well, let's turn the page now, and this 162 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,319 Speaker 2: week it's all about the Buffalo Bills, who come to 163 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 2: Lucas Oil Stadium for the first time since twenty eighteen. 164 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 2: And the big picture here rick Buffalo seven and two 165 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 2: winners of four in a row. They're after their best 166 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 2: start since twenty twenty. They current sit second in the 167 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 2: AFC playoff pickture, and they currently have a four game 168 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 2: lead in the AFC East thanks to another win last 169 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 2: week over the Dolphins, where they beat Miami thirty to 170 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 2: twenty seven. The Bills own the biggest gap in the 171 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 2: NFL between first and second place teams among all divisions. 172 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 2: They've made the playoffs five straight years and this year 173 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 2: they are a very complete team on both sides of 174 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 2: the ball. They've scored thirty or more in six games 175 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 2: on the season, that's the most in the NFL. They've 176 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 2: allowed ten or fewer in four games, which is tied 177 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 2: with the Chargers for the most in the NFL. They 178 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 2: also lead the NFL and turnover margin plus eleven, so 179 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 2: they don't turn it over and they take good care 180 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 2: of it. And the straw that stirs the drink, obviously, 181 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 2: it's quarterback Josh Allen, who's been with the Bills since 182 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 2: twenty eighteen. He's playing like an MVP so far here 183 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 2: at the halfway point of the season. The Bills have 184 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 2: won close games. They've also blown teams out. They've won 185 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,839 Speaker 2: four games by at least twenty one points. So I'm 186 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 2: gonna stop it right there, Rick, that's a quick outlook 187 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 2: on the Bills from the blimp. What else do you 188 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 2: want to highlight on them on the big picture here? 189 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 3: Well, just from a coaching standpoint, I think McDermott is 190 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 3: a little bit underappreciated at eighty five, forty nine and 191 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 3: four division championships. I think when he made the move 192 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 3: to Joe Brady last year in the middle of the season, 193 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 3: it's been goal for him. Brady, you know, came out 194 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 3: of that LSU program with Burrows. You know, he's done 195 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 3: a great job. I think he's done a really good 196 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 3: job of finding the right balance with a great athlete 197 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 3: in Allen. I think they've been very good. You can 198 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 3: make the case for them as being a league team 199 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 3: in the two statistics you mentioned number four in scoring 200 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 3: and number eight and p points given up. Those are 201 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 3: definitely winning values. But I'm going to spend a lot 202 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 3: of time on this today because they have warts on 203 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 3: both sides of the ball. If you're smart, have a 204 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,079 Speaker 3: good game play and attack them on the other end 205 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 3: of it. They are number nineteen and running the ball. 206 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 3: They're not a good run defense team. That could get 207 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 3: them into trouble. And they don't stop the run per 208 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 3: their number twenty six. So and I basically value everything 209 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 3: on what you are run per because that means that's 210 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 3: what you're how effective you are per down and distance. 211 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 3: You know, the whole thing from an offensive standpoint, you know, 212 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 3: spins around a really good game plan for Allen. You 213 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 3: have to have a terrific rush plan for Allan. You know, 214 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 3: we've seen him so many times, Matt. We've seen him 215 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 3: in a playoff loss, We've seen him in a forty 216 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 3: one to fifteen victory against them. So I've seen the 217 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 3: highs and lows and Allen. But he's a two thousand 218 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 3: yard passer. He's number four in QBR because he's a 219 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 3: total package. And this year he has one hundred and 220 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 3: seven passer ratings. So not going to argue with the 221 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 3: talent there now. Where he's at his best and we're 222 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 3: gonna get into this is when he breaks the pocket 223 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 3: and he gets on the playground, particularly if he gets 224 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 3: on your edge. To me, if I let him on 225 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 3: the edge this week, I'm gonna kill that guy that's 226 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 3: supposed to keep him in. He's just he's not going 227 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 3: to play another down for me, okay, because I know 228 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 3: this game will start and end on keeping this guy 229 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 3: locked up in the pocket, because when he gets on 230 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 3: the edge, he can extend it and he will let 231 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 3: it fly. He's a real and this whole team is 232 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 3: this way. They have a front running element to them mentally, 233 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 3: I don't I don't know exactly how to define it, 234 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 3: but they have it. And Alan, in particular, Alan is 235 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 3: a guy that if he gets started early and gets 236 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 3: going on you, look out, he's coming downhill on you. 237 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 3: If he doesn't, if you can upset them and upset 238 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 3: him mentally, he tends to get shaky. He tends to 239 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,719 Speaker 3: get that deer in the headlight. Look, we had him 240 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 3: beat up there in that playoff game just before the half. 241 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 3: We blew it. We went for a fourth and four, 242 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 3: didn't make it. They got it back, he got out 243 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 3: of the pocket if you remember, hit that fifty yard 244 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 3: ball downfield. They went in scored and they ended up 245 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 3: going in with the lead, high five and one another. 246 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 3: Now they've got some good receivers, not great receivers. Shakir 247 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 3: has become just a really good slot He's there all purpose. 248 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 3: Get the ball to him, a little bit like downs. 249 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 3: He's a you know, gadget guy, you know. And then 250 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 3: they've gotten a great year out of Coleman, you know, 251 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 3: the pickout of Florida State. Not a fast guy. But 252 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 3: you know what, what I've learned this year is he 253 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 3: really plays fast. He's their outside guy. Shakira is inside, 254 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 3: he's outside. He's fifty to fifty red zone jump ball 255 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 3: and he's done a terrific job. Actually, he's been one 256 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 3: of the surprises in the league for me. Now they 257 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 3: got a Marie Cooper, which is a good get for them. 258 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 3: He hasn't he hasn't factored in too much, but he 259 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 3: is another guy that's really reliable. I mean, he has 260 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 3: six hundred ninety six catches and sixty three touchdowns, so 261 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 3: it's just a matter of time. I think you're going 262 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 3: to see him grow as the season increases. King Kid 263 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 3: is also a really good tight end, kind of a 264 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 3: possession guy, and when he's scrambling around, if there's nothing downfield, 265 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 3: he'll get it to King Kid. Their offensive line is 266 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 3: best on the left side where they pound you with Dawkins. 267 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 3: They when they're running well, it's usually to their left, 268 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 3: but they have huge protection issues. You know, even even 269 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 3: with a right running quarterback. On defense, they are a 270 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 3: nickel team and that's the end of it. That's the story, 271 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 3: and they won't change it. You know, with Johnson number seven, 272 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 3: who's a really good nickel but I mean they won't 273 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 3: give you a base. You can put thirteen personnel in 274 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 3: their twenty two personnel and they're going to be a nickel, 275 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 3: and I think it hurts him at times. That is 276 00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 3: a luxury with him. They're not strategically challenged. They don't 277 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 3: give you a lot of looks like the Vikings, just 278 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 3: the opposite. But they do play with speed, athleticism and effort. 279 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 3: They're really well knit. They don't do a lot, but 280 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 3: what they do they do it well. You know, their 281 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 3: number eighth in scoring, which is really good, but their 282 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 3: number seventeenth total, now with that stat will tell you 283 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 3: in the film, will bear it out. There is a bend, 284 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 3: but don't break quality to this team again, and they're 285 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 3: number seven in the redsdence, so they kind of bow 286 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 3: it up there. Not a complex team, they don't blitz, 287 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 3: basically static over team, but they will give you you know, 288 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 3: they get a lot of single high on first down, 289 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 3: some cover fork, some cover eight corners are naked on 290 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 3: first down. You know. Then you know when they get 291 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 3: the longer yardage, you will get the mix of two 292 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 3: to one lurk and reverse eight which are specialized coverage. 293 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 3: It's terms of personnel, which I know the fans are 294 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 3: interested in Rousseau and Espinasa and now with von Miller 295 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 3: come back, they're pretty good on the edges. I mean 296 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 3: they've got good sacks. That's Penza and Rosa Rousseau, but 297 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 3: you know Miller has had a career of sacks. Oliver 298 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 3: and Jones on the inside are good, and Oliver is 299 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 3: a great athlete, not very big, but a good athlete. 300 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 3: There they're third down. NASCAR is pretty good in there, 301 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 3: and Von Miller will only get better. He just got 302 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 3: in there for the first time last week. Linebackers, they'll 303 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 3: go to the ball. Johnson at Nickel is tough, Douglas 304 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 3: Benneford has been solid. I thought elm went in at corner, 305 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 3: really struggle aggressive at safety, and a guy that's having 306 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 3: a terrific year. You talk he was comeback player last year, 307 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 3: but he's having a real terrific year as a starter, 308 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 3: and that's Hamblin. He's got like fifty seven tackles, two 309 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 3: picks and five at Safety's really done good. But I 310 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 3: think they can and I'm going to get into this 311 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 3: and I'm gonna get a little history here. They can 312 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 3: and they must be dominated with time of possession. 313 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's stop right there and begin rolling 314 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 2: out the blueprints for a Colts win and start dissecting 315 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 2: the Bills here on both sides of the ball. Let's 316 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 2: start first with the Bills offense. Got it by Josh Allen. 317 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 2: Of course, he's played the Colts twice in his career, 318 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 2: including one in a playoff game like you alluded to, 319 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 2: but he's never played the Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium, 320 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,679 Speaker 2: and this year he's one of the front runners for 321 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 2: the MVP at the halfway point of the season because 322 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 2: he's accounted for four of the Bill's top five passing 323 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 2: yard seasons in franchise history, and he's already set the 324 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 2: club record in twenty twenty with over forty five hundred 325 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 2: yards that season. Since he broke into the league in 326 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 2: twenty eighteen, ranks fifth in the NFL in passing yards 327 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 2: six and completions over twenty five, third in passing touchdowns, 328 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 2: and he has the second most rushing yards and the 329 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 2: most rushing touchdowns among quarterbacks. So very dual threat there. 330 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 2: They lead the NFL on turnover margin at plus eleven, 331 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 2: and they have set a club record with nine straight 332 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 2: games to start a season while not losing the turnover battle. 333 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 2: The skill weapons looked a little bit different this year 334 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 2: after they traded Stefan Diggs to the Texans in the offseason. 335 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,360 Speaker 2: Since then, they've adopted a wide receiver by committee approach, 336 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 2: headlined by Khalil Shakir, draft pick Keon Coleman and recent 337 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 2: addition Amari Cooper. In fact, the Bills have ten players 338 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 2: with at least one receiving touchdown on the season. That's 339 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 2: the most in the NFL. But Coleman's dealing with the 340 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 2: wrist injury. Cooper didn't play last week with an injury, 341 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 2: so we'll keep an eye on those guys in terms 342 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 2: of the passing game. But the running game goes through 343 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 2: James Cook and rookie Ray Davis out of Kentucky. He's 344 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,239 Speaker 2: ripped off some big runs on the season, and the 345 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 2: offensive line plus the scrambling ability of Allen, has produced 346 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 2: the fewest sacks allowed on the season. They've only given 347 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,640 Speaker 2: up eleven in that category, and the Bills have been 348 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 2: exceptional inside the red zone on the season. Their twenty 349 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 2: five red zone touchdowns are the second most in the NFL. 350 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 2: Rick So that's the skinny on the bills when they've 351 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 2: got the ball on off offense. What else did I 352 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 2: miss before you go into your muss here? 353 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,959 Speaker 3: You don't miss much and you're right. I tell you 354 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 3: the two guys I didn't mention much about, and I'll 355 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 3: get into here in the musk. Cooking Davis is a 356 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,239 Speaker 3: good combination. Even though they you know, they're not, like 357 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 3: I said, they're not a good rush per team. They're 358 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 3: nineteenth at four to four, but they've got two backs 359 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 3: that are good. Cooks is really good. He's got a 360 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 3: four to seven, you know average, and Davis, as you said, 361 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 3: it's coming on. He had he had a swing pass 362 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 3: that he caught, made people miss and made an explosive 363 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 3: touchdown when they needed it last week. So I mean, 364 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 3: I think they're strong there. You know. Obviously Alan, I'm 365 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 3: going to get to him in the must and I 366 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 3: talked a little bit about their receiver specific Shakira is 367 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 3: their go to guy and particularly on the possessions gadgets screens. 368 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 3: You know, he's he was a Morse Reservoir All Star 369 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 3: if you remember, and he's really come into the scene. 370 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,679 Speaker 3: If they if they have Coleman and Amari, that's a 371 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,400 Speaker 3: pretty stout group. You know, they kind of at receiver. 372 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,360 Speaker 3: I think they kind of won the battle of subtraction 373 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 3: and addition, to tell you the truth, I think they 374 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 3: these guys play better with Alan than the other crew 375 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 3: did before King K thirty two catches. You know, I 376 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 3: like him and Knox. They're both pretty solid. Again, they're 377 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 3: gonna do certain things. The one thing, if it's third critical, 378 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 3: third and two or fourth and two, you got to 379 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,120 Speaker 3: expect a design run. They run those toss cracks, except 380 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 3: it's Alan carry and there's no toss counters draws. I mean, 381 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,120 Speaker 3: they're gonna run him like a like Jim thorpe back. 382 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 3: They're a tailback, and so they do a lot of 383 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 3: that when they're when it's when they're gonna throw the 384 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 3: ball on those third downs and short a lot of 385 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 3: mess routes. By that, I mean a lot of all crosses, 386 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 3: you know, trying to get somebody open in there. But 387 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 3: he will take the shot to Coleman, if you show 388 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 3: it ahead of time, one on one, particularly one on 389 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 3: one press, he'll go get it for you know, in 390 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 3: that regard high lows. They will try to push it deep. 391 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 3: But in the end, you know, and I'll talk about this, 392 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 3: it's he's gonna make it happen. He's going to extend plays, 393 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 3: and that's where he's most dangerous. From that standpoint, I 394 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 3: think the defensive blueprint for victory is number one, and 395 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 3: it's always number one. You can't let the running game 396 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 3: get going. I mean, we're thirty first in the league 397 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 3: in terms of rush defense, and that comes back to 398 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 3: kill us all the time, kills you in the fourth quarter. 399 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 3: Cook is good with seven tds, Davis is emerging. You 400 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 3: have to control the line of scrimmage. And last week, 401 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:44,199 Speaker 3: particularly early, you know, when Grover and Buckner was in 402 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 3: there together, I mean we controlled it. I mean we 403 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 3: keep them behind any count you know, you know, and 404 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 3: just there's still number nineteen four point four rush. We 405 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 3: got to stop these guys, gotta play downhill. We got 406 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 3: to force them into known pass situations where you can 407 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 3: use specialized defenses and blitzes to get after him. All Right, 408 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 3: number two, and this could easily pop up to one. 409 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 3: It's probably one. But you've got to keep Allen. You've 410 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 3: got to keep his athleticism squeezed and collapsed. You know, 411 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,360 Speaker 3: he has thrown for two thousand yards and two eleven 412 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 3: rushing and seventeen tds with only two interceptions. You've got 413 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 3: to keep him off the edge. I'm gonna say it again. 414 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 3: You've got to keep him off the edge sown every situation, 415 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 3: every down in distance, your edge guys have to hold it. Okay, 416 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 3: that's where he's the big play thrower. Also, as I 417 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 3: said before Critical, you know, third and two, third and four, 418 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 3: low red zone, two minutes, there's going to be a 419 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 3: lot of designed runs for him. But you've got to 420 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 3: keep him. You know, I always say when you have 421 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,880 Speaker 3: a great space player, you've got to keep and encircle, 422 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 3: squeeze him and kill him. Get him down. This is 423 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,640 Speaker 3: a hard guy to get down. You got to get 424 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 3: him down. And then I think you have to play 425 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 3: the receivers within your system. Specifically, you want to squeeze Hakir. 426 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 3: He's not a big deep guy, not a big speed guy, 427 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 3: but he's high volume. You want to squeeze him. You 428 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 3: want to get your hands on him, press him. Okay, 429 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 3: just the office set with Coleman. You want to jam 430 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 3: him a little bit like I talked about Hopkins. Incidentally, 431 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,439 Speaker 3: what a deal for the Chiefs. Jam him at the 432 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 3: line of scrimmage and then stay high for the fifty 433 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,360 Speaker 3: to fifty ball. His strength right now is press coverage 434 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,679 Speaker 3: fifty to fifty ball a lot like Hopkins. He's not 435 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 3: a speed guy, so you can afford to jam and 436 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 3: CLYI I call it jam and climb all right, got 437 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 3: to get on top early number four. I said this before. 438 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 3: This is a front running there's a front running quality 439 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 3: to this team. When Alan goes well early, he will 440 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 3: just draw you. When he has early adversity, he tends 441 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 3: to show bad body language. Get the deer in the 442 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 3: headlight look and they can come on glued. We had 443 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 3: him in that playoff game and let them off at 444 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 3: the half with not smart play. Don't let him get 445 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 3: going early, and you can force a bad game. We 446 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 3: have to create and we have to win third down. 447 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 3: You know they're number seventeen. They're not a precise passing team. 448 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 3: Pressure Allen in the pocket, but collapse him. You can 449 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 3: collapse them on the right side, but don't collapse and 450 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 3: get too tight. And then you got to beat Dawkins 451 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 3: with athleticism. So if you bring your right end underneath, 452 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 3: your right tackle has to be fast. He's got to 453 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 3: create that edge right now, and you can beat them 454 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 3: with stunts, but you have to compensate with the overall 455 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 3: speed you can power MC Governance Center. He's really like 456 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 3: Bradbury was last week when Grover just burlowed him and 457 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 3: went in there and made the big play. You can 458 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 3: collapse him in side, okay, overall, don't be afraid to 459 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 3: bring five, but bring him with discipline. Tackle him at times. 460 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,399 Speaker 3: A mush rush is not bad, meaning you set the 461 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 3: edge and your inside guys push it without coming up 462 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 3: feel too far and make him throw it out of 463 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 3: the pocket. Their receivers are not fast, so squeeze him 464 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 3: on blitzes. Don't play that soft ass zone on a 465 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 3: blitz and let them just find cracks. And at the 466 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 3: end of the day, you know, on the south end 467 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 3: of the stadium you have to plaster these receivers to 468 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 3: Shapiro's and on the north end you gotta plaster him 469 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 3: to fishers because he is going to extend it and 470 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,199 Speaker 3: all his big plays come on the playground. Do not 471 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 3: get off your receivers if you're in zone, which I hate, 472 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 3: but if you're in zone, you have to find a 473 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 3: receiver downfield and plaster him. 474 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 2: I'm more of an Iozo's guy, which is a little 475 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 2: bit south of Shapiro's. 476 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,479 Speaker 3: But yeah, okay, I was trying to think of my favorite. 477 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 2: Take them even further south right. 478 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 3: Week. 479 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 2: We get the point well taken right there. 480 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 3: Take these ma, that's fine. 481 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, we can have a garage party on the south side. 482 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 2: That's always open, man. We can open up the keg 483 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 2: and me and the Bills wide receivers can hang out 484 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 2: for an afternoon after the game. That's Rick vent Zerry 485 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,679 Speaker 2: right there. I'm Matt Taylor. This is inside football, all right. 486 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 2: Let's slip over to the other side of the ball 487 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 2: and break down the other game plan when the Colts 488 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,479 Speaker 2: are on offense. Let's discuss in detail now this Bill's 489 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 2: defense that's giving up under twenty points per game, allowing 490 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 2: only sixteen a game during this four game winning streak 491 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 2: that they're on. The Buffalo numbers are are kind of 492 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 2: middle of the road on the surface four point eight 493 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 2: yards per rush, sixteenth against the past seventeenth in total defense, 494 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 2: but they are top ten in some key areas fourth 495 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 2: and takeaways at fifteen. They're eighth and passing yards per 496 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 2: attempt at six point six, and they are seventh in 497 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 2: lowest red zone touchdown percentage allowed at forty six point 498 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 2: nine percent. Now, the gas rush is not going to 499 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,159 Speaker 2: blow you away either, because their blitz rate is the 500 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 2: fourth lowest in the NFL at eighteen percent. But they 501 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 2: still have guys that can screw you up. Gregory Rousseau, 502 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 2: he's leading the team at four and a half sacks. 503 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:17,439 Speaker 2: Aj Epanessa He's chipped in with four. The secondary is sturdy, 504 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 2: headlined by corners Christian Benford and Rasul Douglas. What else 505 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 2: do we need to know about the Bills on defense? 506 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 2: Like you said, they're not an overly complicated group. But 507 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 2: how can the Colts move the ball much better against 508 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,679 Speaker 2: this team than they did last weekend in primetime against 509 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 2: the Vikings? 510 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 3: Rick Well, the first thing you've alluded to it they're 511 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 3: not challenging from a strategic standpoint. They are very, very 512 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,880 Speaker 3: maybe the most predictable. I broke down the first game 513 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 3: with them in record time, whereas when I broke down 514 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,919 Speaker 3: the Vikings it took me, an, it took me a 515 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,959 Speaker 3: long time to break them down. So I think that helps. 516 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 3: I mean, unfortunately AR five isn't help them, but this 517 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,199 Speaker 3: would be a good game for him. Because they're really 518 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 3: not challenge in that regard. You know where they're going 519 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 3: to be. Uh, They're gonna play nickel every single down 520 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 3: no matter what. And so I think in that respect, 521 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 3: and you could just look at the numbers over the years, Uh, 522 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 3: they are always vulnerable to the run, and the run 523 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 3: would also bring time consuming eight the clock offense. And 524 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,719 Speaker 3: I think you can pound it right at them again 525 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,119 Speaker 3: where they've saved themselves. Again it's a bend but don't 526 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,360 Speaker 3: break situation, and they've done a good job because they've 527 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,919 Speaker 3: kept the point total down by not breaking. And a 528 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 3: lot of that is their excellent red zone defense, which 529 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 3: is number seven in the league. Again, I think the 530 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 3: strength of their team uh, And and again it's a 531 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 3: good team. It's not a team with a lot of 532 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 3: weaknesses really, and it's it's also not a team of 533 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 3: a bunch of ambience, but it's a it's a pretty 534 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 3: damn good team everywhere. I think the strength of it 535 00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 3: lies in those edge guys you talked about were so 536 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 3: zero with five. What you might see is Espinasa actually 537 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 3: going inside in what was going to be smooths role. 538 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 3: And then you're gonna see von Miller Moore see von 539 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 3: just has been in that suspension. He just came back Sunday. 540 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 3: He was rusty, but you know, this is a guy 541 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 3: that's a world class rusher on the edge, so you know, 542 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 3: look for those type of things. I also think the 543 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 3: nuisance inside he's small, but Oliver, Oliver's really really active inside. 544 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, he's the guy that and that's 545 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 3: where a young offensive line has to be ready for 546 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 3: that speed at explosion. I like their linebackers. I think 547 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 3: they're tough. Their corners are playing well. You made a 548 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 3: point there, and I think they're kind of overlooked. They're 549 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 3: they're really they're really playing pretty well, honestly at the 550 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 3: corner position, and that's sur pribably. The only guy that 551 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 3: struggled at all is Elam who played a little bit 552 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 3: more last week. Johnson very good. Nickel, He's like Kenny Moore. 553 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 3: He's the guy that can play the run, can play 554 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 3: the pass. I like their safeties. Wrapped is a tough 555 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 3: he's a tough guy. Tackler Blitzer off the edge and 556 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 3: Hammler's just had a terrific here. But you know, I 557 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 3: think in the long run, you do you can take 558 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 3: advantage of their predictability. One thing I know on first 559 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 3: down that the corners are going to be naked. There's 560 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 3: no two, there's not They're never going to close the edge, 561 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 3: and particularly the strong side edge. Theyn't play a little eight, 562 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 3: but they never clever the strong side eight. So if 563 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 3: you want to go after their corners, you want to 564 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 3: go after him on first down, and you want to 565 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 3: throw that ball deep on first down, and don't waste 566 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 3: plays with Pittman downfield, use Pittman inside. The guy you 567 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 3: got to use downfield is Pierce Pierce, Pierce Piers. And 568 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 3: if you want to throw Mitchell into it, that's right too. 569 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 3: But you got to use your speed on the outside 570 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,239 Speaker 3: with some double moves, hooks and goes and things like that, 571 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 3: and take your shots on first down. Once you get 572 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 3: to the longer yardage, now you are going to see 573 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 3: cover two, cover two man, cover one lurk and the 574 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 3: weakness now there they don't match real hard. So the 575 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 3: weakness is a lot of those seams inside, hooks, checkdowns, 576 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 3: screens to the edge. I mean, I think all that 577 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 3: stuff is really good, and I think that's what you 578 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 3: that's what you gotta do, you know, And the Colts 579 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 3: have done a really not a very good job the 580 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 3: last three weeks on blitz controls, so you know, and 581 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 3: Joe's limited movement that's going to attract that's going to 582 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 3: attract Blitz's like flies on dunk, to tell you the truth. 583 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 3: So but again kind of look at them, really good scoring, 584 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 3: but the seventeenth and total defense third down, twenty first 585 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 3: rush per twenty sixth past sixteenth sacks eighteenth So this 586 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 3: is not you know, this is not an overwhelming defense 587 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 3: that you can't handle. All right, the Colts offensive blueprint 588 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 3: for victory, and a lot of this is playing them, 589 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 3: watching the tape now and knowing a lot of history 590 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 3: on these guys. We have got to pound their bubble. 591 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 3: They're always in over like the Colts, and you can 592 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 3: pound that bubble. Run it right at them, run it 593 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 3: right at Oliver, and then on the three side, on 594 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 3: the strong side, power it and get downhill. Oh, we 595 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 3: got to own their front. Their front is light. It's athletic, 596 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 3: but they're much more athletic than anchors. Number twenty six 597 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 3: in rush perk. Keep coming back to it four point eight, 598 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 3: pound them, keep their defensive line and linebackers off balance, 599 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 3: and keep their blitzes on the shelf, move it, eat clock, 600 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 3: got to have ball control, make play. Then that makes 601 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 3: play action deadly for Joe and it keeps the rush 602 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 3: off him. Now, when Joe's in there, we've got to 603 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 3: have a lot more run defensive diversity, you know, you know, 604 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 3: maybe every once in a while we could actually run 605 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 3: a league play with somebody in there. But with R five, 606 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 3: our rush is our running game is so much better. 607 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 3: Our running game and deep passing is so much better 608 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 3: with him and without him. Now you have to be 609 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 3: creative to run the ball because they're not worried about 610 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 3: those edges. To be honest with you, all right, Number two, 611 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 3: mut's take the deep shots on the corners, and I'm 612 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 3: saying mostly on first down, run it and take a 613 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 3: shot deep with a checkdown. I think their corners have 614 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 3: been solid, but strategically they are undressed on every first down. 615 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 3: Elom did struggle when he was in the game last week. 616 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 3: But don't throw deep balls to limited receivers. You're wasting players. 617 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 3: Get it to Pierce, Pierce and Mitchell outside deep. And 618 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 3: then number three must let Joe vary the passing game, 619 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 3: let him work underneath downs, slash downs, Pittman and tight ends. 620 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 3: Get those guys involved, let him work the quick screens 621 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 3: outside and gadgets to the edge game. That's they are. 622 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 3: That's how you diversify the running game with quick screens 623 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,320 Speaker 3: and gadgets and quick screens to the wide receivers. Because 624 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 3: you've lacked that quarterback to move now, so you have 625 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 3: to do it a different way. And Joe can be 626 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,920 Speaker 3: good if he's protected. He can be really good on 627 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:25,479 Speaker 3: the underneath areas first and second level, all right, Number four, 628 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 3: Protect the NASCAR and expect a barrage of blitzes. You 629 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 3: don't always want to look at what you've seen. You 630 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 3: got to look at what you struggle with and stay 631 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 3: out of those known passing downs with those blitzes. If 632 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 3: you need to use seven man protection and takes your shots. 633 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 3: Joe has to beat the blitz where AR five just 634 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,800 Speaker 3: threw guys off and he erased it that way, Joe's 635 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 3: gotta beat it, beat it by getting it out quick. 636 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 3: Our blitz coordination has to be absolutely flawless. And then 637 00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 3: in the end, and this is true every week, but 638 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 3: I think it's more important. You know, with our quarterback situation, 639 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 3: you got to dominate first down. You got to stay 640 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 3: in advantage and when you do get through, make it 641 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 3: third and short, so you have your whole playbook again. Generally, 642 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,360 Speaker 3: make this a physical day, stay in control, protect the ball. 643 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,360 Speaker 3: And I use this thirty eight minutes of ball possession okay. 644 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,319 Speaker 3: Reason I say that when we beat them forty one 645 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:30,360 Speaker 3: to fifteen, okay that day, and it's a lot of 646 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 3: the same characters, same coaches. We held the ball thirty 647 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:38,399 Speaker 3: eight minutes, so essentially we only gave Alan twenty two 648 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 3: minutes to deal with. And I think the Colts offense 649 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 3: has to be the Colt's best defense by staying on 650 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:45,839 Speaker 3: the field all day. 651 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 2: Rick Venturry, right there, those are your blueprints for the 652 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 2: Colts to get a win over the Buffalo Bills, first 653 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 2: time the Colts are playing Buffalo and the regular season 654 00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 2: since twenty twenty one, first time at home since twenty eighteen. 655 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 2: And to close out, Rick, We're gonna set you up 656 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 2: for your final instructions here. This is another fork in 657 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,319 Speaker 2: the road game. I think for the Colts they've lost 658 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,320 Speaker 2: to in a row. I think the reality of the 659 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 2: quarterback change has sunk in. The Bills are a great challenge. 660 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,759 Speaker 2: Seven and two on a four game winning streak, but 661 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,719 Speaker 2: as you've chronicled, not unbeatable, as was evidence last week. 662 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,240 Speaker 2: As you know, they needed a heroic sixty one yard 663 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,239 Speaker 2: field goal with the buzzer to beat the Dolphins. This 664 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 2: is the NFL, and the Colts make a living playing 665 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,800 Speaker 2: in one score games, and I think Rick I fully 666 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,320 Speaker 2: anticipate this game coming down to the wire as well. 667 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 2: So lay it out for us. We're inside the locker room. 668 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 2: We're ready for your final instructions. Give it to us here. 669 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,399 Speaker 3: Well you made you made a good point, min Man. 670 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 3: Before I get going number one, I see the Buffalo 671 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,359 Speaker 3: Bills as a good team, but not a great team. 672 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 3: I don't see them as complete as a Kansas City 673 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,800 Speaker 3: or Detroit, you know, who are good on both sides 674 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 3: of the ball, who have almost no weaknesses. So I 675 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,240 Speaker 3: think there's no doubt they're beating I really. I felt 676 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 3: that way about Minnesota and that could have gone our way. 677 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 3: Felt it about Pittsburgh. It did go our way, you know, 678 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:08,759 Speaker 3: in the end. I had a coach when I was 679 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,759 Speaker 3: a college kid that always used to when we played 680 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,440 Speaker 3: a game like this, which perception wise wasn't ours. He 681 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 3: always us to say this isn't a challenge, man, This 682 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,360 Speaker 3: is an opportunity for you to do something special. Bills 683 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:24,359 Speaker 3: are a good team, but they ain't on the unbeatable. 684 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,880 Speaker 3: They squeezed it out versus an average Dolphins team with 685 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 3: a sixty four yard field goal at the buzzer. They 686 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,879 Speaker 3: have critical warts that I've put out there on both 687 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,719 Speaker 3: sides of the ball that can be exploited. They have 688 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,720 Speaker 3: won four straight and frankly, they're ready for a flat 689 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 3: performance and this is a perfect week for it. They 690 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,439 Speaker 3: are four to oh at home and three and two 691 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 3: on the road. You must make the loop their worst enemy, 692 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 3: and you must become their deadly trap game. You must 693 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 3: come out on fire, and this is important. Established the 694 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:03,320 Speaker 3: lead and set the physical tempo. Now the Bills, and 695 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,719 Speaker 3: I've said this three times now, the Bills have a 696 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:10,240 Speaker 3: front running mentality. Hit them in the mouth, disrupt Allen 697 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,360 Speaker 3: and he can tank it. Let them know from the 698 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 3: jump they are going to be in for a long 699 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 3: ass day. Don't believe any perception that you hear. You 700 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 3: create the reality between the lines. You are better than 701 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:28,280 Speaker 3: your record. You have shown flashes of greatness in all areas. 702 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 3: What is now necessary is sixty full minutes of greatness. 703 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 3: That means total focus. Coaches, players, fans, attack and never 704 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 3: look back. Every player, every play, get on top and 705 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:48,760 Speaker 3: never never take your foot off the gas. In twenty 706 00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:52,200 Speaker 3: one we kick their ass forty one to fifteen. We 707 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,320 Speaker 3: get it by pounding their ass thirty eight minutes of 708 00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,840 Speaker 3: ball control and dominate a line of scrimmage on both sides. 709 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:03,839 Speaker 3: That is your tem play, total focus, fight like kit champions, 710 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:08,080 Speaker 3: and take no prisoners. This can and will be your 711 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:08,839 Speaker 3: finest hour. 712 00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,799 Speaker 2: Yes, sir, final instructions right there. That a boy. Rick 713 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,839 Speaker 2: Van Turry his final thoughts to the Colts to get 714 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,879 Speaker 2: a big win Week ten against one of the better 715 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,719 Speaker 2: teams in the NFL, in the Buffalo Bills. It's gonna 716 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:22,319 Speaker 2: be a good week. It'll be a good week to 717 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,839 Speaker 2: get back at home after four or five on the road. 718 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,759 Speaker 2: Like we talked about Rick, and I don't know about you. 719 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,279 Speaker 2: I'm tired of head into the airport every weekend. I'm 720 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,440 Speaker 2: tired of packing a bag. I'm tired of leaving my 721 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,680 Speaker 2: toothbrush back at home. I can't wait to have a 722 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:38,040 Speaker 2: Saturday off watch some college football, put my feet up 723 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 2: a little bit before a big game on Sunday. 724 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,879 Speaker 3: Man, Oh, I'm totally with you. They got sixty five 725 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 3: cleaned up. I can cruise down here you go, had 726 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 3: a boy, No, I can't wait. It is going to 727 00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 3: be great. And I just feel good about this game. 728 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:54,000 Speaker 3: I feel like in a funny way, yeah, because we 729 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,880 Speaker 3: can be physical on offense when we play at Smart, 730 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:01,200 Speaker 3: I feel like we match up pretty good, and even defensively, 731 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,759 Speaker 3: you know, with the kind of team they are, it's 732 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:08,360 Speaker 3: really more of a rush and contain than it is 733 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,400 Speaker 3: a coverage game, if you know what I'm saying, because 734 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,760 Speaker 3: a lot of the pass offense comes with extension of plays. 735 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,200 Speaker 3: So I just I just feel like we're pretty good 736 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:18,480 Speaker 3: matchup for these guys. 737 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 2: No doubt about it.
