We'll play some football. It's an 0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:20.960 exciting time to be a Buffalo Bill and a fan 0:00:21.000 --> 0:00:31.360 of the Buffalo Bills. Hey, everybody, welcome to the Sean 0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:34.440 McDermott Show, brought to you by ECMC and Kalidah Healthy. 0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:37.240 Official healthcare providers are the Buffalo Bills. I'm Steve Tasking, 0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:38.760 of course, I'm joined here by the head coach of 0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:41.120 the Bills, Sean McDermott. Shaan's great to see you back 0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:43.240 for another season. I'm looking forward to this one. We 0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:46.000 are too. We've had a good preseason and we're off 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:47.680 to a good start. A lot of energy about our 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:50.599 football team inside of our building as well as outside, 0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:52.640 and we're anxious to get going. I gotta tell you 0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:55.040 the congratulations on the four and o preseason. I know 0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:57.520 that the record doesn't mean much, but it had to 0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:00.120 tell you some things about your team, Well it did it. 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:01.920 I mean, you know, it's it's better to be four 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:03.840 and oh than oh and four and have some concerns, 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:06.360 but we still have concerns. Right, It's early in the season. 0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:10.360 There's some unknowns. There's unknowns about our opponent this week, 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:13.000 and I think that's natural for every season. But how 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:15.840 do we handle those unknowns. Is we get back to 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:18.920 being who we are and being a good, fundamentally strong 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:21.440 football team. Yeah, and you got a little vote of 0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:24.240 I don't know, confidence or a vote of encouragement by 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:26.720 a lot of your players who couldn't make your team. 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:29.280 We're playing for other teams. I mean, you almost led 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:31.240 the league and guys who were claimed off the waiver 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.640 wire because of your depth. And it really does say 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:36.960 some good things about the roster you guys have put together. Yeah, 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:38.959 it does. And that's what you want. I mean, going 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:41.319 into our third season now, you want people looking at 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:44.800 our roster and how we do things and whether it 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:46.960 be on the field or off the field, and saying, hey, 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.520 that guy can help us. And that may not have 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:51.960 been necessarily the case in the early years, in the 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.960 first two years, but each and every year you want 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:57.520 people looking at not only are personnel, but also what 0:01:57.520 --> 0:01:59.520 we're doing schematically on the field and then off the 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:02.560 field as well. When you turn things over. You've got 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:04.400 new faces. And one of the things you've always said 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:06.600 from the very beginning is you guys got to play 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:08.200 like a group, like a family, got to be pulled 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:10.120 in the same direction. But with a lot of new faces, 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:13.639 that's always a huge, you know, hurdle to overcome. How 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:16.760 is that going? And continuity was a challenge UM, and 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:18.959 it's and it remains a challenge with some guys hurt, 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:20.960 with some of the guys we had hurt in the spring, 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:23.079 and and it's mostly been on the offensive side of 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.320 the ball. But I like what we were able to 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:28.120 experience together as a team this this preseason, with the 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:31.080 with the trip to Carolina and how good that was 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.600 for us, and and the challenge that that that posed 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:35.120 to us as a football team. Then we were on 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:38.440 the road again the next week UM in Detroit and 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:41.120 a nationally televised game, and we were down early in 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:43.080 the game. It was it was not the way we 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.280 designed it, but we but we made it through. We 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:47.600 pushed through it, and at half we were up. And 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:50.200 so there are some really good situations we experienced as 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.160 a team. And then to play the way we did 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.440 UM with the back end of our roster against the 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.640 Vikings in the fourth preseason game, and to win at 0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:00.960 home and the way we won just I think brings 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:03.480 a lot of energy to our team and to this community. 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:06.880 You've done some revamping of the of the roster, particularly 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:08.960 on the offensive side of the ball in particular. I'm 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:10.680 going to get the offensive line in a minute. But 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.840 your running backs are all new faces. Frank Gore the 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.960 oldest of the old running backs. T J. Yelden, a 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:19.399 proven veteran who's brings something to the tables, a five 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:21.880 year guy. And then you've got a brand a newbie 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.680 in Devin Singletary. You've got the spectrum of age covered 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:27.480 in the running back room. But they're all new to 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:29.800 your team, they are, and they all bring something just 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:33.120 a little bit different one from the other. But Frank 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:38.840 brings veteran presence, veteran leadership. He's hard to tackle, but 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:42.080 he's also hard on himself, which is I don't want 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:44.400 to say good to see, but it's it's it's no 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:46.560 surprise when you get to know Frank why he's been 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:49.320 so successful and has played as long as he's played, 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:52.360 And to use that as an example to our young 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:55.640 players in this case, Devin singletary, who's in the same position, 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:59.560 meeting room, who watches Frank Frank's every move just about 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.800 that builds well for Devon's development as well. And then TJ. 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:06.640 You know, he had the early fumble in preseason. He 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:08.880 paid the price for it. Didn't see the field after 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:11.600 that that first preseason game, but what a great way 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:14.320 he handled that. He came back in games two, in 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.400 games three and really really played well. Yeah, you talk 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:20.640 about the running backs playing well, but the offensive line 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:22.120 has been a big part of It's been a big 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:24.360 part of the focus in the offseason. Seven of ten 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.719 guys that you kept them big number of offensive linemen, 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:28.840 seven of them are brand new to the team. Four 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:32.359 news starters. What are the traits that you were looking 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:35.200 for in those guys? Certainly big, strong, physical athletes, but 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.960 what about the the intangible side of it. Yeah, I 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:40.360 mean guys that you know, not afraid to work hard. 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:45.000 That they really, to me define what an offensive line 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:50.560 should look like. Work ethic, blue collar, tough. Hey you 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:52.040 hit me in the mouth, I'm gonna come back and 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:54.039 hit you in the mouth. That type of mentality, that 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:56.640 type of personality, and you saw some of that. I 0:04:56.680 --> 0:05:00.160 think at moments in the preseason. We saw it through 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:02.640 the spring and through training camp on the practice field, 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.039 but it came out in some games as well during 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:08.080 the preseason game. So still a lot of work to do, 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:10.400 but I like the direction we're headed up front. Okay, 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:13.479 So last year one of the strengths of your team 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:15.800 was your defense number two overall in the yards, giving 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:19.680 up really a strong unit for you. You get ten 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:24.360 of eleven starters back. How do you improve on that group? 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:26.800 What's your plan for getting even more out of it? Yeah, 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:30.040 I think I think the key right now is, well, really, 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.520 back when we started training camp, Steves, don't get comfortable 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:35.279 just because we have the continuity. Don't get comfortable with that. 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:37.800 I thought there were some moments where where we got 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:39.840 the ball driven on us a little bit. And so 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:41.679 it's still a lot of work to do, but again, 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:45.000 I like the way that we're doing things on defense. 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:48.000 I like the direction we were heading in and it 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:50.000 all starts up front on the defensive line as well 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.280 as the offensive line, as we talked about, and we've 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:53.919 got to have a good defensive front to have a 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:56.000 good defense. Okay, As a result, you got a new 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:58.080 roster a bunch of new guys. Twenty five of the 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.960 guys only your fifty three are their first two years 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:03.240 in the National Football League. What's that say about your team? 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.760 Is that a philosophical choice or did you just find 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:08.360 twenty five guys you really like? Well, you know with 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:11.279 young guys, there's a risk with young guys, right, or 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:14.000 inexperience and that Look, it's true for all of us. 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:15.560 There was a first time for me, and there's a 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:18.200 first time for you, and and so there's no substitute 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:21.080 for experience. But with youth comes energy, and with youth 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:25.599 comes determination and a freshness to our football team. And 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:27.840 I think that's good. Within that, though, we've got to 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.560 have a kind of a layer of older, veteran, experienced 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:33.520 players that have been around and because that's most of 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:35.880 the time where your leaders come from and where the 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:38.119 direction of the team and the ownership and the buying 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:40.400 really comes from. Sean, thanks for taking a couple of 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:42.680 minutes in a hectic week one of the regular season. 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:45.960 Congratulations on a nice preseason. We're looking forward to a 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:48.560 lot of weeks of wins and ups and downs, and 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:50.040 we'll get through them all together. It's kind to be 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:52.720 fun it will be fun. Thanks Steve. All right. Coming up, 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:56.440 quarterback Matt Barkley asks his teammates about their opening weekend 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.920 memories on Chill with the Bill. But next, Eric would 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.560 helps me break down our Week one matchup with the 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:10.200 Jets in the film room. Chopping Wood is presented by 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:15.600 Saint Bonaventure University, the official education provider of the Buffalo Bills. 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.600 Welcome back, everybody to the Sean McDermott Show. Now the 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:22.520 regular season is finally upon us, and we're gonna be 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:25.080 here every week breaking down some game tape. And to 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:26.760 help us do that is going to be a pro 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:30.680 Bowl Center, Eric Wood. We're gonna call this segment chopping Wood. Eric, 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:32.640 thanks so much for taking some time to be with us. 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:36.280 This is my pleasure as a former player. I feel 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:38.960 like I can give a little bit better perspective on 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.720 these plays than maybe coach can because he's not trying 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:44.760 to reveal schemes. He's not trying to reveal concepts, game 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.640 plans and all that. I'm not sitting in meetings anymore, 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:51.200 so I'm not spoiling the action. I'm not spoiling game plans. 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:55.360 This is purely me and my knowledge of football, trying 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:57.960 to get the fans some insights. Well, let's kick things 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:00.120 off with some Josh Allen table. Take a look at 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.360 him here. He's been working on his touch last year. 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:04.440 We know he's got he showed off the big arm. 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:07.760 One of his criticisms was how he handled touch passes. 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:11.000 This corner route to Tommy Sweeney really shows that off. 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.840 Tommy Sweeney, the rookie seventh round draft pick out of 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:18.000 Boston College. He really showed his playmaking ability in the preseason, 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:22.320 known more for his hands than necessary his playmaking ability 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:24.520 as far as getting open, but he seemed to have 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.600 found a knack for finding space. And Josh Allen releases 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:31.040 this ball just as he's breaking out, puts perfect touch 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:33.679 under it. And these types of plays with the way 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:35.880 the Bills should be able to run the football this year, 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.960 with their offensive line and the talent they have at tailback, 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:41.520 Like right here, they have to Honor Singletary in the 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:44.440 background on the play action. Well, then these throws, if 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:47.600 Josh Allen can continue to progress and put touch on 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:50.160 it like this, these will be very, very tough to 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:54.120 stop as the year goes on. One more play on 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:57.679 Josh Allen eric This time. He does show off the 0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:00.640 big arm that he has, but he also shows off 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:03.720 his accuracy, which has always been a bugget who people 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:05.400 say he can't put it in a tight window. This 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:07.920 is a pretty tight window. It is a tight window. 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:11.120 And the Carolina Panthers show a double a gap mugged look. 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:13.920 This is something that Sean McDermott ran when he was 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:17.520 at Carolina. It's four defensive linemen and the two linebackers 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.120 sitting right in the a gap. The Bills run a 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:23.319 three by one formation with three wide receivers up towards 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:25.360 the top of the screen you see here, and just 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:27.720 Tommy Sweeney down on the bottom side of the screen. 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:32.120 And Josh Allen knows that if that linebacker fails out 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:34.680 of that a gap on that side, depending on where 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:37.280 he goes, that's where he's going with the football, and 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:41.160 that guy fifty seven he goes towards the running back, 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:44.400 and Josh Allen knows that Tommy Sweeney at that point 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.720 has leverage on the defensive back to that side. These 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:50.880 windows get tight as you get down towards the red 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:53.600 zone towards this side of the field, these windows get tight. 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:57.240 And this is great development from Josh Allen in year two. 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:00.360 Let's transition to Sam Darnold. Let's explore some place he 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:03.000 made in his loan start against the Buffalo Bills last season. 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:05.800 Here's the first one. Yeah, Sam Darnold. He channels in 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:09.480 his enter Fran Tarkenton. Here he is moving around the pocket, 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:11.280 but he has his eyes down the field the entire 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:13.880 time and Trey White, as you can see if you 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:16.520 follow him throughout that play, it ends up being ten 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:20.319 seconds from snap to throw, and Trey White stocks the 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:23.600 very talented Robbie Anderson the entire time. But at the 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.240 end ten seconds is way too long to be able 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:28.880 to cover a guy. Kyle and Jerry run a stunt 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:31.120 at the line of scrimmage and almost get home. They 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:33.680 flush him from the pocket. Kyle ends up taking a 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:37.320 huge shot there and Tremaine Emmons almost delivers a huge 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:39.880 flow to Darnald, but he keeps his eyes down the field, 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:43.000 able to complete this for a touchdown on this final 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:46.120 play less than two minutes left in the game. Big 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:48.640 time throw from Darnold, and this was huge and giving 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:51.120 the Jets a chance to win this game. It was 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:52.719 a huge play and it was a huge throw and 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:55.280 a huge catch and Trey White does an incredible job. 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:57.760 It's a single high look. So if the Trey White 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:00.160 is not going to give beat over the top and 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:03.800 he stocks Robbie Anderson stride for stride, and Sam Darnold 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:06.600 puts a perfectly placed ball and he gets some protection 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.199 here you see at left guard there they had Spencer 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:13.000 Long and new Buffalo Bills acquired into your offensive lineman. 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:16.280 But he does a good job on Kyle and they 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:18.840 end up getting enough time and he delivers a perfect 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:22.520 pass to the sideline. Virtually uncomparable because Trey White was 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:26.679 in absolute perfect position. If anything, potentially get his head 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:29.320 around a touch quicker, maybe get his hand up. But 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.520 these back shoulder throws right down the field like that 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:35.800 away from the safety are extremely tough to defend. Eric, 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:38.520 that's great stuff. We'really looking forward to having you. Thanks 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:40.360 for being here, and I can't wait to break down 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:42.400 more film with you in the weeks to come. Yeah, 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:44.720 it's my pleasure looking forward to the game this weekend 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:46.720 and looking forward to breaking down more film in the 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:50.320 future with you. Steve. After the break, Chill with the 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:54.320 Bills takes us through our players first NFL game experiences 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:59.559 later on, Sports Oology examines the science behind some of 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:06.439 the most exciting plays of the preseason. Chill with the 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:10.520 Bill is presented by fuck Light Game Day's favorite light 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:16.160 locker What's Up Bill fans, quarterback Matt Barkley. Here we 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:19.160 have our season opener coming up on September eight at 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:21.480 med Lafe against the Jets. Let's take a look around 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.360 the locker room see what guys had to say about 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:27.560 their favorite memory from any season opener from high school, college, 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:37.280 pro game. Let's hear what they have to say, favorite, top, best, ultimate, 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:40.880 unique season opener. What you got got you? So my 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:42.960 freshman year of high school, I had to start a quarterback. 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:45.640 I was scared to death. He started at quarterback, not 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:50.199 corn nerterback, quarterback again, and so I'm out there, probably 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:52.000 about the third play of the game. They blitz I 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:54.600 close my eyes. I throw the ball, touchdown, he catches it, 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:56.800 runs about thirty yards. I just closed my eyes and 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:59.240 he weren't even supposed to be playing. He tore a touchdown, 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:01.000 touched out for drive of the game. And I was 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:03.760 so scared. Close my eyes, man, that's what That's what 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:05.760 happens when I'm at quick Please don't close your eyes 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:08.680 this season opener and when you go to make a 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.840 tackle for a loss. Okay, yeah, appreciate it all right 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:15.760 here with John Brown aka Smoke because he's so fast, 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:19.480 there's just a smoke trail wherever you go. Favorite game day, 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:23.280 season opener? What's your favorite memory on? My favorite memory 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:26.800 was my rookie year when I was in Arizona, played 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:30.160 Monday Night and you know I started, you know, as 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:32.599 a rookie. You know it was a tough game, and 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:35.840 you know I ended up scoring the game winner. So 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.520 you know that's a memory, you know, to always remember. 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:43.079 We got we got Trey White imitating Smoke. What do 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:46.080 you got? What do you got? This his favorite toughdown celebration. 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:54.559 He caught the ball, he gonna it was perfect favorite 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:56.880 opening day memory? What you got? I really wouldn't call 0:13:56.960 --> 0:14:00.320 him my favorite opening day But I remember my first 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:02.439 ever time running out of the tunnel at USC or 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:04.559 the coast, is that what it was? It was at 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:07.520 cal Berkeley at home in the Memorial Stadium. You've been there, 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:13.760 We've beaten you there. Um We're like we're like fifteen 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:18.840 yards apart in age, so wow, we're runn running out 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:21.520 of the first time a Memorial Stadium, and I was 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:24.560 just dad tired for the first whole series because I 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:27.440 screamed from one end zone to the other end zone 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:29.840 and I was out of breath, just so hyped, just 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:31.760 just hyped. And so now I don't do it anymore. Hey, 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:34.680 let's bring that same hype this you'd open all right 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:36.600 on the first play, do you. I just told you 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:39.080 what happened. That's why I don't do it. So yeah, 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:40.560 I won't. I won't be that hype, but I'll be 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:43.240 I'll be hyped. Great memory. Thanks friend, Zoe, Thank you, 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:48.320 thanks for that look into the locker room, guys. In 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:51.240 a new segment to The Sean McDermott Show, we crunch 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:53.800 the numbers on some of Buffalo's biggest plays of the 0:14:53.840 --> 0:15:03.680 preseason in Sportsology That's Next. When sports fans talk about football, 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:07.720 the word physicality usually comes to mind, but fans rarely 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:11.760 use the word physics. In our sports Oology segment, we're 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:13.800 going to get into the science behind some of the 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:19.520 biggest impact plays of the Bill's preseason. Bills. Sportsology is 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:24.280 presented by ecmc bringing hope and healing to Western New York. 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:30.480 Welcome to this week's sportsology, Let's begin by taking a 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:33.920 look at the completion probability of a johns Allen passed 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:38.280 a rookie tight end Tommy Sweeney against the Panthers. First 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:41.280 and ten from midfield, Allan drives back six point seven 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:44.240 seven yards. It takes the Bill's quarterback two point eight 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:48.240 seconds to throw the ball. When Allan releases the past, 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:51.360 there are two point nine eight yards of separation between 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:55.960 Sweeney and the Carolina defender. By the time Sweeney makes 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:58.520 the catch, the window is narrowed down to just point 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:02.640 eight five of a yard. So what was the probability 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:06.640 of completing that pass? Just thirty five point one percent. 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:09.960 For our next play, we'll take a look at the 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:13.440 top speed Christian Wade reaches in his first ever carry 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:18.520 in an NFL game. First and ten from the Buffalo 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:21.440 thirty five. Wade takes a handoff at the thirty yard 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:25.720 length and immediately cuts to the right. The offensive line 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:28.080 did a great job creating a hole that was ten 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:31.400 point nine four yards wide for Wade to run through. 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:37.040 He outraces the safety to the end zone, covering seventy 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:39.680 eight point fifty four yards on the sixty five yard 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:44.640 touchdown run. But what was Wade's peaked speed on the play? 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:49.200 Twenty one point one miles per hour. With a look 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:56.800 at this week's sports Aology, I'm John Murphy, coach, and 0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.200 I discuss how the team is preparing for its Week 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:02.280 one matchup against the New York Jets. That's next on 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:11.680 the Sean McDermott Show. Game Preview is presented by Independent Health. 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:15.160 From here every day to your unexpected. That's the Red 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:19.640 Shared Treatment. I'm Mattie, Glad you're this week's game preview. 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:26.520 The Bills opened the twenty nineteen season on the road 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:29.040 with a game against the Jets in Week one. The 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:32.240 AFC FOE made several offseason moves in an effort to 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:35.800 revamp their team, including hiring new head coach Adam Gaze 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:38.840 looking at how the Jets spared last season, They finished 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:41.520 fourth in the AFC with a record of four wins 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:45.320 and twelve losses. The biggest addition to their roster has 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:48.639 to be the versatile former Pittsburgh Steeler running back lady 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:52.080 On Bell. When Bell lasted the field in twenty seventeen, 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:55.520 he totaled one two hundred and ninety one yards on 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:58.840 the ground and had eighty five receptions for six hundred 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:04.800 and fifty five yards. The running back had eleven total touchdowns. 0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:09.240 The Bills also reworked their team and efforts to help 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:12.680 the offense and second year quarterback Josh Allen. That meant 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:16.600 adding targets like Cole Beasley and John Brown. Beasley played 0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:19.959 in two preseason games, catching all five targets for fifty 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:23.160 seven yards. The former Cowboys will be a great asset 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:26.680 to the second year QB. On defense, the Bills add 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:30.600 first rounder Ed Oliver to their defensive line. Oliver is 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:33.240 the third first round rookie to start in Week one 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:36.880 in the McDermott era, next to Trey White and Tremaine Edmunds. 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:39.920 When the two teams hit the field on Sunday afternoon, 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:42.520 it's safe to say the too will look very different 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:47.679 from last season. Steve back to you. Thanks so much, Mattie, 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:50.440 appreciate it. Now let's gives a few last minute thoughts 0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:54.000 from sean coach opening day. You've had a ton of 0:18:54.000 --> 0:19:00.359 these in your career. Any really memorable opening game of 0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:02.920 your career? As if you remember, I remember my first 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:05.199 one here as a head coach. I remember kind of 0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:06.840 the smell in the air coming out of the of 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:09.520 the ad Pro Building and heading over to the stadium, 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:12.720 and uh, I was I was nervous. I was anxious 0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:15.600 probably better said, and not knowing how it's going to go. 0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:18.359 And I think that's true. There's some unknowns every season. 0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:21.080 This season no different, and so but there is there 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:24.639 is value and experience having been there before and and uh, 0:19:25.040 --> 0:19:26.760 I think that will help us going forward. Well, you 0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:28.760 get the Jets right out of the gate. It's an 0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:32.080 important division rival? Is that Is that a plus? Is 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:34.280 that of mind? I mean you got to play him sometime? Well, 0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:37.159 division in the division, It's it's important right out of 0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:39.679 the gate. We get a division opponent at their place, 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:41.879 and so they'll have the advantage as far as the 0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:44.240 crowd and the energy and all that type of stuff. 0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:46.440 And we know that and it's never easy going there. 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:49.600 And they're a good opponent with some new pieces that 0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:52.640 that they went out and got this offseason. So um, 0:19:52.720 --> 0:19:56.359 we'll be challenged. This is your third season opener as 0:19:56.400 --> 0:20:00.200 head coach of the Bills. What's the biggest change. I 0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:03.320 would say probably the biggest change is our roster compared 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:06.320 to that first year. Just a different team overall, and 0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:09.199 you're starting to see the culture willly come through in 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:11.439 the standard. I think these guys have done. The players 0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:14.160 and staff have just done a phenomenal job in terms 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:18.080 of establishing the standard and how that doesn't change no 0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:20.359 matter where we play or when we play. All Right, Sean, 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:22.240 thanks so much. That's great insight. I can't wait to 0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:24.080 see you guys play on opening Day, and thank you 0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:26.440 everybody for joining us on The Sean McDermott Show.
