WEBVTT - Drive Time: Dolphins Bills Week 2 Preview 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:04.120 To on the Move Dallan Jeep Speedways, Peace to Hell. 0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:10.360 From the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. 0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:18.400 This is Drivetime with Travis Wingfield. He's got my hands 0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:28.120 in the playoffs. What is up Dolphins? And welcome to 0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:31.639 the Drivetime Podcast. I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And 0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:35.720 on today's show, the damn Buffalo Bills are coming to 0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:39.040 town for a Thursday night primetime matchup. We're gonna break 0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:40.680 it all down and tell you how the Dolphins can 0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:44.000 get to victory by breaking down the Buffalo scheme. The 0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:46.120 three keys on either side of the ball, the three 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:48.840 keys to victory. I'll tell you where they're strong, where 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:52.800 they're vulnerable, everything you need to know ahead of kickoff 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:55.800 tomorrow night. From hard Rock Stadium from the Baptist Health 0:00:55.840 --> 0:01:02.240 Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This is the 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:09.080 Drivetime Podcast. Hard Rock Stadium could be full of some 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:12.000 mouth breathing Buffalo Bills fans that came down last year 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:15.600 for the game, and they make that pilgrimage each and 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:17.720 every year, but I think this year might be a 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:20.000 bit different. It is a middle of the week game, 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:23.600 It is an early September and from my knowledge, I 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:26.280 don't think there have been quite as many secondary market 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:29.600 ticket sales for Bills fans, So hopefully we only get 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:33.160 about eight thousand of those wonderful folks down here with 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:36.360 US eight to fifteen kickoff on Amazon Prime and local 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:40.520 CBS Miami wfor the weather for the game, no sunshine, 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:42.839 so I don't need to call Osha Buffalo eighty four 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.800 degrees a thirty percent chance of rain. It'll be hot 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:49.800 and hut and muggy and humid. Almost said huggy and mumid. 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.559 That's not words, but that's what the weather forecast calls 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:55.240 for on Thursday night. Let's go ahead and get to 0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:56.760 know this team. Don't have to do it for very 0:01:56.800 --> 0:02:00.960 long because we know about the Buffalo Jills. This used 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:05.120 to be a copy and paste segment, so not much 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:07.400 had to be changed here, but there is some change 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:10.520 for them. The constants, Josh Allen and Sean McDermott. McDermott 0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:13.640 came one year prior to Allen a playoff season with 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:15.880 Tyrod Taylor. When they lost a playoff game ten to 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.960 three to the Blake Bortles Jacksonville Jaguaws. They go to 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:23.160 Josh Allen four games into twenty eighteen, and he had 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:25.840 those accuracy issues still at that stage of his career. 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:29.080 They missed the postseason, but have not missed them ever 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:31.840 since then, as Josh Allen has figured out those accuracy 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:35.560 issues and elevated himself into a clear position in my opinion, 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:38.519 as the second best quarterback in the National Football League. 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:42.720 Ten wins, thirteen, eleven, thirteen, and then eleven more last year, 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:45.200 after a six and five start, they earn six and 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.840 six start. Rather, they rattle off five straight wins to 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:50.560 close the season. And if they just call Kadarius Tony 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:53.560 onside the Dolphins their division champs, I digress, But they 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:56.280 have one trip to the AFC Championship Game in twenty twenty, 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.959 the pandemic season, the brutal, brutal thirteen second game. Again, 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.600 it's those same Chiefs in the Divisional round one year later, 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:06.320 and make it three straight Divisional round losses. Now with 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.200 the Bengals in twenty twenty two and those Chiefs again 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:14.079 in twenty twenty three, hang the banner. Well, not yet, 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.400 I guess, but a lot of the main stays from 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:21.079 those teams are now gone. Josh Poyer is here, Micah 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:24.280 Hyde retired, Trey White is in Los Angeles to Fon 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:26.919 Diggs isn't Houston, and he arrived back in twenty twenty 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:30.480 when they really took off. Mitch Morse is now in Jacksonville, 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:33.440 and Leonard Floyd is with the forty nine ers. All 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:36.200 of those players made plays across the National Football League. 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:38.320 Really stands the guys that didn't play, which was Hide 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:41.480 and Trey White. It's a lot of change, an entirely 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:45.560 different looking Bill's team, and yet can anybody legitimately say 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:48.000 they're going to win less than double digit games this year? 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:50.840 I don't think. So let's go ahead and get into 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.720 the weeds on this matchup. Beginning with the Buffalo Bills offense. 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.160 I went through their scheme and wrote down some numbers 0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:00.240 from last year, but I'm not sure how applicable it 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:04.280 is because they changed a lot. So let's go ahead 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:06.040 and take a look at the changes here. So this 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:08.920 one game this year, they ran the same number of 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:12.080 plays from eleven personnel as they did in twelve personnel. 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.560 It was thirty eight percent of the overall plays. They 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:17.760 ran a sprinkle of plays from one personnel, which is 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.520 basically their way of getting all these let's call it 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:22.800 what it is, mid receivers on the field at once 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:24.680 to just give them a different look, so they have 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:27.359 more variety than they have in years past. But I 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.279 don't want you to get this twisted because they are 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:34.040 their bread and butter. Their team identity on offense has 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:36.520 kind of developed already in my opinion, based upon the 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:39.000 Joe Brady games from last year and what we saw 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:42.200 in Week one against the Cardinals. But they ran a 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.320 lot of snaps and heavy personnel. A sixth offensive lineman 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:47.919 comes into the game on ten of their snaps in 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.720 the game on Sunday, So to me, that says like 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.680 Anthony Walker time. I don't think a Walk played more 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:55.760 than a handful of snaps in the game, if at 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:58.520 all did even play. But I think getting into more 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.840 traditional like four to three pasckages or you know, bear 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:04.680 fronts or three like you're gonna be running lots of 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:07.359 seven man boxes and eight man boxes against this offense. 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.400 I think I think that'll be the plan because they 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:12.880 run some of those packages that basically go six to 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.719 zero line, two tight ends, one back, one receiver like 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:19.080 it is Downhill gonna go ahead and condense their gaps 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.599 inside and play straight ahead and try to bound you 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:25.160 into a pulp. Maybe you run some big Nickel and 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:27.839 Marcus may get some more run out there, or maybe 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.800 even Elijah Campbell. You need more punch when they go 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:33.320 to that. But thankfully, I love the way our backers 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.440 and that includes Walker and Brooks and Long can match 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:38.880 that physicality. But if you go back to last year 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:41.440 with Stefan Diggs, it was pretty much what you would 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:44.359 expect from any offense across the National Football League sixty 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:47.599 three percent eleven personnel. They were in twelve personnel just 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:50.600 eighteen percent. And I wrote this before the Jacksonville game, 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:53.120 this should go way up, and it did. It went 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:55.719 up by twenty percent in their first game this season. 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:58.320 They also ran twenty one personnel last year five percent. 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:00.560 They don't run that two back personnel because they got 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:03.480 rid of their fullback RPO. Offenses tend to not have 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:05.640 that unless you're Mike McDaniel and you can cook on 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:08.279 both sides of the skillet. As it were last year, 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:11.520 teams played them in too high coverage fifty percent compared 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:14.800 to single high forty three percent, So basically an even 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:17.560 split that leaves you with seven percent zero coverage, and 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.960 I think that's not a terrible idea against Josh Allen, 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:23.640 provided you don't miss on the rush. Anytime I can 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.720 get the ball out of Josh Allen's hands in two 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:28.440 point five seconds, that's what I want to do. Because 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:31.039 he's not a precision passer. He is not a sea 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:32.800 and rip it type of guy. He is a let 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:36.159 the play develop, break some tackles, scramble and create and 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:39.480 make big plays outside of structure. He can play inside structure. 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:41.160 I'm not saying he can't. But if I can get 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:43.720 him playing inside structure in the pocket all night long, 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:46.160 that's what I want to do. Like I'd rather not 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:48.360 have Steph Curry shooting threes, I'd rather have you dump 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:51.360 the ball into Draymond Green to have him shoot fifteen footers. 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:53.839 They're time to throw perfect example of that. Two point 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:59.360 eight eight seconds last year was twenty sixth slowest I 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.599 should say, what's the freakin word there among starting quarterbacks 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:06.800 thirty first overall, which again is the strange dichotomy and 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:10.200 why I still don't think I understand the idea behind 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:12.840 the Joe Brady offense and their influence, because his entire 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:17.360 schema comes from the LSU days with Burrow and Chase 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:22.360 and Justin Jefferson and was a terrass Marshall who was 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:24.559 the third receiver on that offense. Now trying a freaking 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:30.280 blank how embarrassing. Regardless, doesn't matter. They run this RPO 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.800 like quick game, but that's not Josh's game. So it's 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.760 so strange against the blitz. Last year, he was thirty 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.120 five percent of his dropbacks he was blitzed, I should say, 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:41.720 at seven point six yards per clip, at sixty four 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:45.440 percent completion, ten touchdowns and three picks, just eleven sacks 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.600 compared to thirteen sacks when not blitzed. So I think 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.840 that I don't I don't really know. I think the 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:53.560 way is here. I kind of go back and forth. 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:57.080 Fangio and the two games last year blitzed him thirty 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.960 one percent and forty five percent, but he did torture 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:01.600 on some of those plays. But she also got some 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.440 takeaways out of those plays. So I don't really know 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:06.240 what the plan should be. That's why Anthony we we 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:07.880 mixed the big bucks. That's why he's a lot smarter 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:10.280 than I am, and why I just think, well, i'd 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:13.400 think he's a great defensive coordinator, But yeah, that's his call. 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:16.240 I do think that Diggs is freelancing last year caused 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:19.000 some of their spacing issues, and they kind of got 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:20.840 away from that in this game. Like it was more 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:22.760 clear to find about where the ball needs to go, 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:24.960 get it to the open man, spread it around, and 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:27.360 just kind of, you know, pick your spots and choose 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:29.239 where you can go with the football rather than trying 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:30.960 to force it one hundred and fifty times into the 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:35.720 same guy. But structurally, I just, you know what, Quite frankly, 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:37.800 the only thing I like about this offense is kind 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.080 of Josh Allen. I like the tight ends. I like 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:43.560 the running back, but structurally and the skill group outside, 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.600 I just don't love it. Man. There's not a clear 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:50.840 understanding or commitment to like clear outs versus the actual 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:54.360 in progression routes. The way this offense asks Josh to 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:56.680 read out the middle of the field and play from 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.520 off base throws and out of timing and rhythm is 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.520 exactly why they had those long goals last year. And 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:04.959 quite frankly, in the first game, they scored a touchdown 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.319 early on in the game, but they went several drives 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:09.880 without moving the football all that much. And it was 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:12.120 a continuation of what you saw last year. That's why 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:14.040 they were down by fourteen points early in this game. 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:17.640 I don't think it matches with his skill set, and 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:19.720 I'm quite frankly kind of blown away that he was 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:21.920 kept in that position and they didn't go after someone 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:25.320 that had more of a mind for what Josh excels at. Anyway, 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:27.960 there was that massive shift when they went from Dorsey 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.880 to Brady. You know, they run this RPO middle of 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:32.760 the field concept and it wants him to play more 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:35.560 instructure on that first read. I thought that where they 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:38.239 got in trouble last year when they did was compressing 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:40.360 things a little bit too much with routes that wound 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:42.920 up too close together, and that's kind of the design 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:45.120 of the offense. I think some of that was, you know, 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:47.360 Dig kind of doing his own thing and freelancing, but 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:51.680 also this conceptual belief of utilizing all five patterns as 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:55.920 options opposed to having more clearouts and more front side 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:59.240 tied to backside timing to give Josh the processing he needs, 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:02.520 one should tell you about the next route and the progression. 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:05.640 Don't get me wrong, they definitely run clear outs like dagger. 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:08.440 Your concepts like Dagger who doesn't. But I think that 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:10.720 was the major shift, and it took them a little 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.439 bit time of time to adapt to that new system. 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:15.800 Now they've had a full off season and one game 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.920 of time together to adapt and it was it was good. 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:20.880 I mean a lot of the offense was basically just 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:23.400 Josh Allen playmaking. And it's why it's why I like 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:26.079 our matchup between the numbers with the addition of Jordan 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:29.000 Brooks and Jordan Poyer and Marcus May to add to 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:30.800 what we had last year, not to mention the two 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:33.679 interior guys that can help you kind of play light 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:36.440 because of their ability to to gap in both Zach 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:39.560 and Kalais and to also get Josh to the ground 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:41.600 when they get a hold of him, opposed to him 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:45.200 shaking off you know, sacks from smaller bodied rushers because 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:47.640 this guy weighs two hundred and fifty five pounds. So 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:49.720 how do you attack it? Going into it a bit there? 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:53.040 But I want to play further off of that, I 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:54.800 think you have to play static, and by that I 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:57.080 mean just kind of react to what they're doing because 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.520 that quick game, you know your rush does you know 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.280 good Alan pulls the ball back and fires it in 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:05.120 behind you. But also if you rush and he tucks it, 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:07.719 then you're chasing him on the back foot. But if 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.760 you mirror and maybe even utilize a spy, then you 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:13.040 can get a little bit more ability to match him, 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:15.680 opposed to showing him your move like he adjust and 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:17.360 if he beats you, you're out of the play. We 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:19.840 can't have that. And the reason I think the receiving 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:22.440 Corps desperately needs a vertical threat, and maybe that does 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:25.280 become Curtis Samuel, is that I think you can commit 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:28.200 another hat into the box and contend with that. I'd 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:29.880 be happy to do that. I'm kind of happy to 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:32.000 let Josh try to throw these vertical shots to Keon 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:35.880 Coleman and Mac Collins and even Curtis Samuel Khalil Shakurz 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:37.800 the one guy I worry about. But if he wants 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:40.079 to take deep shots to the other guys, I'm happy 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:42.800 to play fifty to fifty ball and go rebound. Basketball's 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:44.520 all dicks. I don't think that skill group is just 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:46.640 going to be able to do it. So does that 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.040 look like a lot of cover one challenging them to 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.559 connect deep mug the a gaps and keep a spy 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:55.240 or rusher to contain Alan. Maybe maybe if they hit one, 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:56.600 maybe you get out of it. But I think they 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:59.040 have to prove they can hit that deep shot. It's 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.199 not that far off the twenty one Ravens game. Like 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:03.440 I talked about, Lamar Jackson missed that first deep shot 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:05.400 in that game and they could never find the answer 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:08.560 over the top to that play. So they also have 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:12.240 a new center who's working with new working with Josh 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:14.720 Allen this year. Connor McGovern kicked inside. They're on a 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:18.040 short week, it's a different scheme. I have no doubt 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:19.920 we can get Alan off the top of his drop 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.640 without options, but how do we play from there? That's 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:24.600 where it'll be one on this side of the football. 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:26.920 Before our first break, Let's go ahead and dive into 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:30.280 the big three versus the Bills offense number one. You've 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.720 heard me talk about it for twelve minutes. Now, don't 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:36.400 let Superman don his cape. Everything is centered around the quarterback, 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:38.959 even last year with Diggs, not a ton of separation 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:42.439 of the passing game or offensive creativity. It just doesn't 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:45.440 stress or conflict you the way Jacksonville did. For instance, 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:47.559 I thought Jacksonville had a lot of cool route concepts 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:51.280 where they would stress like Jordan Poyer as the backside 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:54.560 safety and run a seam to his right and run 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:57.679 a takeoff to his left and he has to make 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:00.400 a decision and the underneath cornerback's out there to help out. 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:03.600 Not tons of layups or well defined throws in this offense. 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:06.280 Their big plays come from Josh Allen creating with both 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:08.640 his arm and his legs, and if he's off with 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.560 the accuracy, then they can go into these massive roles 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:13.640 for a quarter sometimes a full half. I mean we 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:16.000 saw it in Week eighteen last year, and that's where 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:18.520 you have to, you know, put up points offensively and 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:21.199 get them behind the chains, get them behind the scoreboard. 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:23.920 If he's on, you just have to try to outscore him, 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:25.760 which is kind of the nature of the Beast against 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:28.920 these top quarterbacks in the league. So how do you 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:31.720 force him into the off night? I think it starts 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:33.679 with how you generate pressure and force him out a 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:36.320 rhythm of that one hitch timing. You know, we covered 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:38.439 his blitzes. I went back and looked at his blitz 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:41.080 splits in good games and bad games, and there wasn't 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:44.440 really a clear outlier. It was inconsistent across game plans. 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:46.720 I think if you squeeze the middle of the field 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:48.680 and see he has a deep threat he can rely 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:51.880 upon because that used to be Digs. But again I 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:53.199 don't know who that is. I don't know who it 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:55.839 can be this year. As for the pressure ability, I 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:58.360 don't think you concern yourself all that much with trying 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:01.040 to confuse Deon Dawkins. He's seen everything and he is 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:02.760 one of the best players in the league. He can 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:05.480 squeeze to widen and help pick up outside delays and 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:08.360 cornerback blitzes. And I thought our delayed blitz game on 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:10.160 Sunday was kind of what got us in trouble early 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.839 on in the game. I would, however, test that new 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:14.960 center in Connor McGovern. He was a guard last year. 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:17.280 Mitch Morris is a big piece inside. We saw him 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:19.680 on Sunday with the Jags, and I think these mugged 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.440 up a gap pressure looks we have can cause that 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:24.920 confusion and do it. See what he can do and 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:27.520 what he can handle and force Josh and those quick throws. 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:29.280 That's the perfect way to get this quarterback out of 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:31.680 his game. He does not want to catch rock and throw. 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.160 He wants to scan, run around, create and make the 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:37.160 big play after the fact. So you know, with how 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:39.120 some of our guys get off the snap, whether it's 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:42.800 chop or if Mo Kamara plays or email, then I 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:45.720 think that with how we've seen the ability to condense, 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:48.600 you know, phillips or chop inside, with how we've seen 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:50.960 this team blitz their defensive backs in the preseason, and 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:53.200 I guess one game in I feel like your best 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:55.040 bet is to do it from the front side and 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:57.880 force Alan to flee towards his left, his best protector, 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:00.440 and in a position where he his creating, he takes 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:03.240 him to throws back across his body. Now he can 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:05.800 hit those, but I'd rather have that than him moving 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:08.160 to his right right. And it also puts that left 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:11.600 hand front facing in some trouble if he gets hit there. 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:13.240 This is going to be a theme this year. But 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:15.880 I think the addition of Jordan Brooks is such a 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:18.680 force multiplier in the middle for his ability to blitz 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:21.640 and play coverage. And then you've got all these safeties 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:23.320 who I think might be a major key here, and 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:26.320 I'm thinking specifically of Ployer in May. And it's got 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:28.680 to be better on Thursday than it was on Sunday. 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:30.800 But they're both just so good at bridging that area 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:33.160 between a second and third level, and I think from 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:35.040 there they can disrupt the middle of the field passing 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:38.160 lanes off those RPO pops and also provide some type 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:40.880 of spy work from depth on Josh Allen in the 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:43.080 running game. This is why I would call a ton 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:45.200 of cover one and just dare them to throw deep 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:47.480 and if it's not there, then you've got Josh Allen 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:49.640 trying to create against a fast defense with good middle 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:52.040 of the field defenders, perhaps you can flag him down 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:56.560 from there. It is so so integral integral that you 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:58.720 have good rush land integrity against this guy. We saw 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.600 the Chiefs in that Thursday open essentially mere Lamar Jackson 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:03.800 like rush up field and the minute he gets off 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:06.520 that hitch, then you step up and redirect back inside 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:08.960 with him. We have to have that mindset. I think 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:11.040 if they try to play rhythm one hitch passing game 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:12.880 all night, we'll do just fine. But if he gets 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:15.040 off the spot, that's where the game hangs in the balance. 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:19.640 I would load up David Edwards, Connor McGovern and Osiris 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:22.360 torrents inside with games and green dogs and just leave 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:25.080 their tackles one on one because beating them just gets 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:27.920 Allen in a creative spot anyways. Or you send that 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:29.840 blitz from the slot off the blind side, get your 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:32.800 pressure off the right organically and force him to peel 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:35.120 back into that run blitz. You know, save this for 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:37.280 a big moment in the game, maybe after he hasn't 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:38.680 seen it for twenty year, so snatch. But you have 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:41.400 lots of options to try to create confusion on this 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.360 Bill's offense, and I think going after the interior offensive 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:46.360 line is the best way to do it. Let's go 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:48.360 ahead and take our first break right there, come back 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:50.040 on the other side and do points two and three 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:52.520 on the offense. We'll get to the Bill's defense. That's 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:55.800 all Next Draft Time podcast your host Travis Wingfield, brought 0:16:55.800 --> 0:17:02.080 to you by Auto Nation, previewing Dolphins and Bills in 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:05.399 a massive matchup at hard Rock Stadium. We've done the intro, 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:07.679 the scheme on offense, and one thing to take a 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:10.399 look at on the Bills offense, of course, it's Josh Allen. 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:13.159 My second of the three big things is to commit 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:15.879 to stopping James Cook. Both in the run game and 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:18.520 pass game. Again. Kind of went on this already, but 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:20.560 I think this is done by adding an additional hat 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:23.359 into the fit. But also be completely aware of Cook 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:26.600 as a pass catcher, because they love to sneak him 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:28.640 out up the perimeter and pick a backer to try 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:31.280 to get over the top. And so if you do, 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:34.360 you go into if you get in demand free, that's 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:36.880 a tough route to cover from there, and with Josh's 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:39.480 running ability, man, that's always a dangerous proposition. So I 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:41.280 feel like you play more zone against these guys for 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:44.000 those two reasons. You also want to mix it up well, 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:46.680 I don't know, because then you can't, but some those 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:49.560 you can do fire zones. But this is a tough matchup. Man. 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:51.920 I get confused by this every single year. You always 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:53.160 want to mix it up. But I think you can 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:56.480 get the run game sorted that way. Josh Allen scramble ability, 0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:58.920 those quick hits, by playing that extra hat in the fit, 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:01.959 zoning things off, and really committing to rush lane integrity, 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:05.439 all of that should allow you to control gaps in 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:07.800 the running game, and man, that is so paramount here. 0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:10.800 If you start forcing second longs, if you take away 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:12.879 the run game. You make all the things we've already 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:15.480 touched down so much harder for them. That's where I 0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:18.359 like David Long to be a mesh point disruptor, Jordan 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:20.240 Brooks to be a spot drop middle of the field 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:23.160 expander in this defense, and both of them on blitzes 0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:25.320 to show the Bills those A and B gaps are 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:28.480 not open with the run or escape patches for the quarterback. 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:30.840 And if we win our rushes off the perimeter, there's 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:33.920 also no escape patches in that way either. It's crazy 0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:36.359 how intertwined I think this plan has to be to 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:39.040 stop these guys. If we can play lighter, which calls 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:41.560 upon Zach and Kalais to do the job of two 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:45.120 gapping not getting washed against a new look interior offensive 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:47.320
