00:00you know one thing that people will generally put on a coach is attention to detail is that fair
00:07just as a general football point you'll put two point fumbles on a coach how come there's not
00:15more attention to detail about ball security drops focus right things like that penalties
00:22if you're the most penalized team in the league people will say that's about your coach whether
00:28whether or not it is that's what happens i watched the syracuse football game this weekend they won
00:33and i learned that they're the most penalized team in the country which i'm sure they constantly bring
00:38up with the head coach like you take a lot of penalties what's the deal there how come you
00:41haven't got more discipline for your team so during the game and during that first half i saw quite a
00:46bit of what's joe brady's deal kind of reaction they're six and one their offense scores points
00:53but they are somewhat can we say they are consistently sloppy it's seven games in they
01:01are six and one but are they a are they a sloppy team or are they a sharp team
01:06on the sloppy sharp scale now the counter hell but got traded we don't have a hellometer
01:10sloppy sharp meter right let's repurpose that like where are the bills where would you rank them on a
01:14i mean that's probably probably tough to do to rank i know but league wide but do you do they
01:18come
01:18across to you like a sharp team like they're buttoned up or they kind of get through some bad
01:23habits i think they're probably closer to sloppy than they are to sharp i mean you could look at
01:29you could look at a couple of different things you could look at how the defense has been pretty
01:33much struggling to communicate all season right yeah that would fall under this umbrella you could
01:37fall the penalties under this the turnovers i don't know where they rank in the league in terms of
01:41turnovers but it doesn't feel like it's that going that well i also would say that i would want to
01:48consider clock management in the ends of halves and games under this as well are you sloppy or are
01:54you sharp and almost every game we are seeing evidence that like this is not maybe the way you
02:00want to do this or you're giving yourself unnecessary risk by in the ram game it's kicking the field
02:06goal with exactly two minutes left in overtime rather than winding it down and not giving the rams
02:11a chance to play or here where it's i'm running a play with 20 seconds left and giving my field
02:17goal team 12 13 14 seconds to sprint onto the field and kick a field goal because i chose to
02:23give them that little time because i'm afraid of fun yano going 80 yards down the field in 30 seconds
02:28like that's not that sharp to me and there might even be another one clock management wise that
02:33happened earlier in the season there's been a couple there's been a couple i feel like they're
02:37closer to sloppy but they're so good and their quarterback is so good that it doesn't show up
02:43but that in terms of like what we learned from yesterday like the end of the first half and
02:49thinking about the end of the overtime for the rams like i'm thinking about that because playoff games
02:54you're probably going to be tested in those situations ends of halves ends of games and where
03:01are the bills and where is their head coach in that department right before the season it was about
03:07how they tested him and you know like all these different things that they were looking at for
03:12clock management and game management and he passed with flying colors and now i'm seeing it in the
03:16season and like no this all seems a little bit off to his credit he did admit after the ram
03:22game i
03:23would do that differently like so i would hope that as he goes through these trials that like okay this
03:29time against the ravens you have no timeouts you ran it down to 20 that you would look at that
03:34and
03:34say and next time we get that we probably should leave a little bit more time on the clock so
03:39that
03:39we're not sprinting out of the field with 12 13 14 seconds left another way to make yourself feel
03:43better is like watch the cowboys every week they'll just feel better able to get that they just give
03:48away games every week is incredible alex into pew alex good morning
03:54hey gentlemen hey alex morning happy victory happy victory monday yeah i just had a couple
04:02questions for you here uh you know like i don't you guys touch on it with sale here uh just
04:07the
04:07offense looks so stagnant at times and it's crazy but then you look up and boom 35 plus points again
04:14like the fourth downs specifically i love the aggressiveness here but i feel like he got
04:22he gets too cute at times with it like why would we shy away from from the tush push and
04:29then also
04:29with jeremy i know you talk about like the wide receivers speed kills i agree we need one but
04:34josh struggles with the deep balls in general like do you think that this is a thing that like
04:40to take the top off the defense and just get like more more wide open or what is the
04:47thought process behind getting the actual speedster on the team thanks alex listen a couple things on
04:55that dj more catch who didn't think man if you had dj more one year earlier you'd be in the
05:00super
05:01bowl yep right he makes the same catch that brandon cooks couldn't make so and i thought about on that
05:09play saying it in a different way which is the bills have for a long time acted like josh allen
05:18is
05:18going to make it happen and on that play they had somebody make it happen for josh as you're pointing
05:25out maybe he's not been the best deep thrall deep ball thrower of late okay he overthrew keon coleman
05:31yeah that's right he missed there and he's also hit palmer on a couple of deep shots like whatever
05:35he might not be the best deep ball thrower in the league but he has shown that he wants receivers
05:42that he can trust to throw one to he did that to palmer in the opener against the texans when
05:47lasseter dropped the pick i mean going all the way back to whatever he he's he's had success throwing
05:53to gabe some success throwing digs deep sometimes and with more he trusts him and that more catch that
05:59he makes is going to get more more deep balls down the field it'll happen in playoff games it'll be
06:05i have a guy that can cover up my mistake whether it's throwing into coverage missing a little bit
06:13who's going to pull that ball down for me out of the air dj more will so i that i
06:19mean it was an
06:19important play and on the offense stagnating at times i am buying what everybody says which is
06:25that the tush push went away primarily because the ravens had players trying to hurt the quarterback
06:30so let's not put him in that position for the rest of this day i think that's what i'm now
06:36believing now that said if you're another team would you risk a fourth and goal i want you to
06:43take a personal foul here because if you do them we can maybe scare them out of running tush pushes
06:46the rest of the day maybe maybe not what's the penalty if roquan smith is called for a personal foul
06:52a yard not even half a quarter of a yard you get freebies at the one yard line it would
06:59depend what
06:59down it is fair right right if it's third and in fact there it's not smart because it's fourth and
07:08goal at the one right you don't take it it's dumb to take a 15 yard penalty there but also
07:13this this
07:14happened in the shuck example i mentioned earlier in the season where smith is trying to rip the head
07:18off tyler shuck it doesn't get called there it didn't get called for a penalty in this bills
07:23example it's probably really hard for the ref to see that yeah because it's happening in a mosh pit
07:28and there's so many bodies around that i would bet smith thinks he's getting he's gonna get away with
07:33it nine times out of ten because they're not going to see it happen so i think that is something
07:39to
07:39watch but that's probably more about that individual than anything and by the way on allen is a deep ball
07:44passer he is doing it more than anybody in football well actually not true third drake may jordan love
07:50they're first and second for how often they're doing it epa per drop back on deep passes allen's
07:5613th so he's not the worst in football no he's not the best but he's doing it the third most
08:00and
08:01he's slightly above average and how effective he's been right 8030550 the phone number we'll get another
