00:03 As it relates to James Cook, yes, I think that he needs to be a focal point of this
00:07 offense.
00:08 The weakness of the Kansas City Chiefs, although they looked pretty good last
00:11 game out against the Miami Dolphins, is against the run.
00:14 They're stronger against the pass, weaker against the run.
00:17 You have to come out here if you're Buffalo, especially playing at home, and
00:20 get some success on the ground so
00:22 that everything does not fall onto Josh Allen's shoulders.
00:25 Because surely enough, Josh Allen's gonna have a fair amount of rushing attempts.
00:28 But the one thing that I'm concerned about with his running ability is the fact
00:32 that defensively, this Kansas City Chiefs defense back in 2020, 2021,
00:36 they were allowing those gashing runs.
00:38 They were allowing big yardage from Josh Allen as well.
00:41 Since then, though Josh has had a lot of rushing attempts,
00:43 they've really bottled up and tried to limit his yardage.
00:46 And so if you look at how they've done compared to most teams,
00:49 they're one of the better teams at limiting the actual yards that Josh Allen gets.
00:52 So we're gonna need a lot of effort from James Cook and
00:54 potentially out of the backfield as well.
00:56 I don't mind at all a look to his rush plus receiving yards over the total,
01:02 because he's going to have to be a focal point given the injuries that the Chiefs,
01:06 sorry, that the Bills wide receivers have in this game.
01:09 I also like in that one Dalton Kincaid.
01:12 I think he's gonna have over his receptions, but
01:15 I don't really love his yardage total against this too high shell that
01:19 the Kansas City Chiefs run frequently.
01:21 Josh Allen targets his tight end specifically Kincaid frequently, but
01:25 not very deep down the field.
01:26 So you could have a game where he's got seven, eight targets, but
01:30 he's catching like six or seven of those.
01:33 Because these targets are very close to the line of scrimmage, but
01:36 they don't have a lot of upside after them.
01:38 He's getting tackled short, they're not deep targets down the field.
01:41 On the other side, yeah, Pacheco is going to need to be involved a little bit here
01:44 for the Kansas City Chiefs.
01:45 I found it interesting, I went back and
01:47 rewatched over the past couple of days.
01:50 The last three games from the Kansas City Chiefs,
01:52 a lot of get to the line of scrimmage super quickly.
01:55 And then they wait and they monitor, they call these plays,
01:58 they get them in very quickly.
01:59 But they're not actually going super fast, they're just getting there quickly.
02:03 But it does create the opportunity for Patrick Mahomes to audible and
02:06 to move guys around and to get some matchups that he likes at the line of
02:10 scrimmage and potentially that could be Pacheco out of the back.
