Speaker 1: But we're live right now. Hey, we're live. Everybody got
Speaker 1: me not Let's go bury. Everybody do their job. One
Speaker 1: eleven Wealth Calvern defense. Let's go no overthinking, right, Go
Speaker 1: play some ball, Go play some football. It's an exciting
Speaker 1: time to be a Buffalo Bill and a fan of
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Welcome to the Sean McDermott Show, everybody,
Speaker 1: presented by ECMC and Kalidah Health, the official healthcare providers
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. Where please be joining Sean McDermott again. Coach,
Speaker 1: you know you saw this last weekend. The Atlanta Falcons
Speaker 1: upset the seven and one New Orleans Saints. She saw
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans beat the Kansas City chief She saw the
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins get their second win. Of course, the Buffalo game.
Speaker 1: Six and two, Buffalo going in two and six Cleveland.
Speaker 1: It's a hard league to win in and the margins
Speaker 1: are really small, and it's hard to do it, particularly
Speaker 1: on the road. Well, it is, Steven, and those are
Speaker 1: the lessons we've tried to impart on our young football team,
Speaker 1: and that you got to play every week regardless of
Speaker 1: the records. You got to bring your a game. And
Speaker 1: we saw this week how important that is around the league,
Speaker 1: in our game in particular. You go into a Cleveland
Speaker 1: team where in the preseason highly talent. Are they going
Speaker 1: to be a contender in the AFC? In the conference?
Speaker 1: They've started out to a rocky start, really talented club.
Speaker 1: But you can continue to lean on your defense. They
Speaker 1: held those guys to nineteen points with all those weapons,
Speaker 1: even including Kareem Hunt who was inserted in. Yeah, they've
Speaker 1: got a healthy array of weapons, probably unseen unlike most
Speaker 1: teams in terms of the number of weapons offensively. But
Speaker 1: I thought overall our defense gave us a chance at times,
Speaker 1: but overall wasn't good enough. And I think the ownership
Speaker 1: and the accountability of our defense and the members of
Speaker 1: our defense they take that to heart and we've got
Speaker 1: to build on that. Yeah. One of the things about
Speaker 1: that defense is it continues to play good football. Is
Speaker 1: something you never see in the league these days. A
Speaker 1: goal line stand, man, oh man, what a stout stand.
Speaker 1: Eight plays in a row inside the two yard line.
Speaker 1: And in fact, even the penalties they took. The Poyer
Speaker 1: penalty was a smart thing to do on first down,
Speaker 1: to take the interference penalty. It ended up you Stone Walham,
Speaker 1: and it's something you almost never see in the league.
Speaker 1: And yet you guys pulled it off. Yeah you don't
Speaker 1: or very rarely do you anymore. To your point, the
Speaker 1: guy's just the character. I mean, Jordan Poyer's penalty, taking
Speaker 1: a penalty in that situation, playing smart, situational football. That
Speaker 1: just shows me how we've grown in that situation on
Speaker 1: that side of the ball in particular. And the character
Speaker 1: of the way the guys they stood up for seven
Speaker 1: eight plays. That's hard to do in training camp, let
Speaker 1: alone in a regular season game. Now you get down
Speaker 1: there and one of the guys that stood out as
Speaker 1: Cleveland tried everything to get in and they tried to
Speaker 1: go over the top to Odell Beckham Junior, Tredavious White
Speaker 1: on the play in the end zone, he knocked it away.
Speaker 1: But also all day it took a really elite player
Speaker 1: like Odell Beckham Junior. He was even limited in his
Speaker 1: play when he was on his unbelievable effort, probably the
Speaker 1: toughest player on the field force with tra Davis White
Speaker 1: and just the way he battled and and you know
Speaker 1: he rolls to the challenges. What you and that's what
Speaker 1: you want to see from a young player that's challenging
Speaker 1: the way of guarding a player like Odell Beckham junior,
Speaker 1: and he did it, and he did it extremely well. Yeah.
Speaker 1: One of the things in an offensive year where you're
Speaker 1: trying to develop Josh and you're trying to, you know,
Speaker 1: struggle to score points, sometimes the thing that you're really
Speaker 1: good at. You get down to the red zone and
Speaker 1: this team is hard to keep out of the end zone.
Speaker 1: Seventy percent of the time they're scoring touchdowns down there.
Speaker 1: Nobody else can come close to that in the league.
Speaker 1: Why is it that you're so effective when you get
Speaker 1: down close. Well, we've got multiple threats. We can run it.
Speaker 1: Josh can run it, as we've seen, and the receivers can.
Speaker 1: You know, we've got some good concepts going on down there.
Speaker 1: And the protect It all starts up front with the protection,
Speaker 1: whether it's the run game or the pass game, with
Speaker 1: our offensive line and giving Josh time. And so it's
Speaker 1: the biggest challenge for us has been in that fringe
Speaker 1: area once we crossed the fifty, getting into that one
Speaker 1: of yard lining in and so we've got to make
Speaker 1: sure we go back and evaluate that and look at
Speaker 1: that hard. Yeah, you guys knew coming into this year
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a young, developing quarterback. You're gonna play
Speaker 1: complimentary football, and you really got some help from the
Speaker 1: special teams this week. Corey Brewerk has really had his
Speaker 1: best game of the year and set up really what
Speaker 1: was this early safety in the second half with an
Speaker 1: ice punt inside the ten. Yeah, huge punt. It flipped
Speaker 1: the field for us and probably to your point, Corey's
Speaker 1: best days as a Buffalo Bill. He's another young player
Speaker 1: that was challenged a little bit last year and now
Speaker 1: he's coming into his own and it's it's a credit
Speaker 1: to him his hard work and his process with our
Speaker 1: special teams coaches, and that's just been fun to watch
Speaker 1: and we expect the same and more of that from
Speaker 1: Corey moving forward. All Right, coach, we appreciate that we're
Speaker 1: going to continue this conversation later in the show. Game
Speaker 1: preview is presented by Independent Health from your every day
Speaker 1: to You're Unexpected. That's the Red Share treatment. Mattie glab
Speaker 1: here this week's game preview. The Bills are back on
Speaker 1: the road in Week eleven as they head in Miami
Speaker 1: to face the two and seven Dolphins, who are one
Speaker 1: and four at home this season. Buffalo is three and
Speaker 1: one on the road so far for the Bills, now
Speaker 1: six and three next Sunday to Bills play at Miami
Speaker 1: one o'clock Hard Rock Stadium in Florida. The Dolphins are
Speaker 1: on a two game win streak, as last week's win
Speaker 1: against the Colts marked quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick's tenth career fourth
Speaker 1: quarter comeback win. Since Week five, the Dolphins have increased
Speaker 1: their points per game average by more than ten points,
Speaker 1: going from eight point four points per game in the
Speaker 1: first five weeks of play to nineteen point two five
Speaker 1: points per game from the last three weeks of play.
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick is completing sixty one point five percent of his
Speaker 1: passes as the average is one hundred and seventy point
Speaker 1: five yards per game, and has thrown eight touchdowns as
Speaker 1: well as eight interceptions. One of his favorite targets is
Speaker 1: receiver DeVante Parker, who is averaging fourteen point two yards
Speaker 1: per catch and fifty two point one yards per game.
Speaker 1: Against the Colts, in Week ten, Miami had three interceptions,
Speaker 1: which matched their total from the first eight games of
Speaker 1: the season. The stamp flickmass leftstock cottech now touchdown Buffalo
Speaker 1: oh Fasley was wide opened and Josh Allen's three games
Speaker 1: against Miami, the quarterback completed sixty percent of his passes
Speaker 1: for six hundred and fifty seven yards and seven touchdowns,
Speaker 1: along with two hundred and sixty two rushing yards and
Speaker 1: two touchdowns on the ground. Wide receiver John Brown has
Speaker 1: been a sparked for Buffalo's offense, as he is the
Speaker 1: first Bill to ever have at least four receptions for
Speaker 1: at least fifty yards in nine consecutive games. They're gonna
Speaker 1: run chapter the right side, and he's not gonna get there.
Speaker 1: He's stopped. He's chopped per lots about a half yard
Speaker 1: lots out the play. The Bill's defense has remained top
Speaker 1: three in the NFL since Week five, bring to third
Speaker 1: and allowing an average of three hundred and four point
Speaker 1: two yards per game and sixteen point seven points per game.
Speaker 1: Since the Biginning of twenty seventeen, Buffalo's defense has allowed
Speaker 1: forty three passing touchdowns, which is currently the fewest in
Speaker 1: the NFL. This season, they have allowed only eighteen pass
Speaker 1: completions of more than twenty guards, which is the third
Speaker 1: kewest in the league. Buffalo has won four of the
Speaker 1: last five matchups against Miami. Steve back to you. Thanks, Mattie,
Speaker 1: appreciate it. We're back for some final thoughts from head
Speaker 1: coach Sean McDermot coaching coming into the second plays second
Speaker 1: challenge in Miami Dolphins. You faced him earlier in week seven,
Speaker 1: and a lot has changed down in Miami with this club.
Speaker 1: They've hard fought a couple of losses yours and then
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Theaters, and now the Dolphins have put together
Speaker 1: a two game winning streak and you gotta go face
Speaker 1: them on the road. Oh, we do, and they'll be
Speaker 1: a tough out. Credit to them the way they've played.
Speaker 1: They play hard, they're well coached. They remind me a
Speaker 1: lot of us our first season. I'll beat it, we
Speaker 1: had a different record. It's gonna be a tough football
Speaker 1: football game, and it's gonna be a physical football game.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to go down there ready to go
Speaker 1: and bring our top game because in all three phases,
Speaker 1: really because they're well balanced. They've got an offense and
Speaker 1: a quarterback that's moved the ball, moved the team ever
Speaker 1: since he's been named the starter. And their defense is
Speaker 1: playing playing well, not giving up big plays and then
Speaker 1: special teams wise, they've been doing some things gimmicks, gadgets
Speaker 1: to create some plays and extra extra possessions offensively, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you come. You can relate to Brian Flores his first
Speaker 1: year as head coach just two years ago. It was
Speaker 1: you kind of trying to gather things up and set
Speaker 1: a culture. Can you see back in time two years ago?
Speaker 1: You got to relate to what Brian Flores is going
Speaker 1: in maybe a difficult year. It turned out pretty well
Speaker 1: for you in your first year here, but you kind
Speaker 1: of relate to what he's going through and how the progress.
Speaker 1: You can see the progress they've made, right, you can
Speaker 1: see it, and that's really what you want. You want
Speaker 1: to get the right guys on the bus and some
Speaker 1: of the other guys maybe off the bus and if
Speaker 1: it wasn't right for them, we're moving forward and that's
Speaker 1: what they've been doing. It appears from Afar obviously the
Speaker 1: outside looking in, but more importantly, how and what are
Speaker 1: we going to do? And that's we've got to respond
Speaker 1: and we've got to get our mojo back after this
Speaker 1: past week and play play confident of football and good
Speaker 1: fundamentally sound football with great levels of executions. All right, coach,
Speaker 1: good stuff. We'll be back next week to recap the
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins game and look ahead to the Denver Broncos.
Speaker 1: Have a great weekend, everybody. Thanks for watching. The Sean
