00:30Jump cut
00:31Russell down after a short game by Xavier Watts the rookies and terrific
00:36Start to his career man out of Notre Dame assistant head coach Jerry Gray
00:40He was a great safety in the league for a long time talked about Xavier Watts to me down on the field
00:45He said man, we just need to keep him in the post in the middle of field
00:48He has otherworldly instincts
00:49He will be one of those guys is one of the league leaders and interceptions. You just let him get just perfect his craft
00:55Defensive rookie of the month in the first month of his NFL career
01:00Already a couple of interceptions
01:08Second Nate Allen
01:10Buying time or trading still retreating and now has some space around the left end
01:16Thought about stopping and throwing there Caden Ellis not really faked out that a good job
01:21Staying in pursuit, but don't you think that's a great job by Atlanta defensively?
01:25This guy's one of the best in the world at doing this and you know Raheem Morris and their defensive coordinator Jeff Obrick
01:31You know this Luke just constant talking about plaster plaster plaster and they're doing a nice job that time
01:35They kind of like he came with a little bit of a simulated pressure
01:39And kind of backed out and played coverage look this football team
01:4346% of drop backs they're sending five or more as you see Jeff Obrick right there
01:49Buffalo's gonna want to stay out of third and five third and six plus because you can best believe he's gonna send extra guys after him
01:55They invested a lot in this pass rush haven't they no doubt paying off in the early stages
02:01third and three
02:03pressure comes Allen delivers a low throw
02:07Shavers was in the area, but the pressure again
02:09Affecting the quarterback and it's fourth down here comes the punt team that that time was Caden Ellis, you know
02:15He's coming on the back most times Caden out Caden Ellis when he's one-on-one against the back you lose the ball game more times than not
02:23And even though he didn't get a sack didn't get a hit on the quarterback that pressure starts to affect even the best of them
02:28They start feeling things closing in you see Josh kind of hurry up
02:31He's doing his delivery
02:34It's been sacked a couple times. He's been pressured frequently knocked down
02:39Falcons defense gets a stop and panics and Robertson will get the football back up 14 here
02:46The way through the second quarter
02:50And the punt will
02:52He batted back into the field to play so they got a nice bounce
02:56And Sam Franklin jr able to play it back and
03:00Falcons will be pinned back at the five frustration for Allen and this attempted bounce back game for the bills
03:07Allen led the bills down the field touchdown pass the opening drive, but it's been a struggle since then
03:18Yeah, so this is shavers. He's got a shallow right now pay attention to the backside corner
03:22We call this green grass. No green grass or man zone
03:25All right freeze it when he sees this backside corner in zone
03:29He really needs to stop at the what we call ghost tight end
03:33Give the quarterback your eyes and
03:35Make that a stop instead of continuing running to bad people
03:38That's that miss for josh is just he's waiting for shavers to declare and it's almost like a waste right there
03:44Man zone they all have rules in that shallow cross quarterback receiver both have to be on the same page
03:49Robinson lined up at the end zone takes the hand off there and then quickly darts forward the second longest
04:02touchdown run in falcons history only war done house one from longer than the 81 yard
04:07scamper we've talked about this offense in the pistol
04:11And talking to zach robinson who's the offensive coordinator at lanta and why so much pistol and he said throughout this offseason
04:18They realized that they actually like getting bajon the ball a little bit deeper
04:22Which is the case in the pistol?
04:24Because it allows him to see
04:26Set defenders sometimes jump cut out front or set a guy and slash back side
04:32And it's just so unique that they run it strictly because they're back
04:40Robinson again and now to the 15s right near the marker i'm gonna spot him just short
04:48You're not a big fan of the pistol dan well no i'm not against it
04:51I just think that there's there's pros to it right and then there's cons to it
04:54I think you know hearing zach robinson and raheem norris talk about
04:58You know they're doing it because they build their whole offense around the the running back
05:02And they actually do want to get him the ball deeper
05:05I understand I think it hinders michael's movement a little bit
05:08I think michael pennix has to be a quarterback that moves around a little bit more and then third and one
05:13You're giving the ball to your back a little bit deeper than you prefer back in the pistol, but they don't snap it's a panics
05:19it's a
05:20Little bit of trickery there and they needed about half a yard looks like they got it
05:27Stepping in there to take the snap was that was that felipe franks yeah the tight end lined up under center
05:34Little smile as he runs off it worked i'll tell you what's interesting about this
05:37About this offense and whether or not you can run play action effectively out of the pistol
05:43If you look at the second and third level defenders the safeties and the linebackers for buffalo
05:47They are creeping down more and more and more every time bijon gashes on
05:52It's setting them up to be really taken advantage of with the passion passing game if they are to call it yeah
05:57And they are to run it effectively
05:59If they can get that part of their game going and get michael pennix really effective running play action
06:05The sky's the limit when you've got a running back like bijon robinson
06:11Felipe franks i still matter take a snap he played a little bit there in arkansas and
06:15You better practice if you're gonna call that
06:18In your own end
06:20Penix up the play fake launches over the middle and wide open he's been the man tonight drake london
06:27Has been the featured guy picks up 26 more
06:30I mean here's an example of it just watch watch the effect on the ball handling in the backfield
06:40Look at what happens now look guess what throwing window just opened up
06:44Right behind where terrell bernard was
06:48Targeted seven times
06:49The rest of the team has been targeted twice combined by pennix six catches for london
06:57Penix again off the play fake has time and space and he'll just take off and scoop doesn't run a whole lot
07:03But a good athlete picks up about eight
07:05Yeah, so I like those two plays one. I just talked about kind of moving him off of that spot
07:10This is an outstanding anticipation throw bernard right when he turns his head that ball is ripped
07:15To drake london and then I like that last scramble lou because that's something they've talked about
07:20Let's use his legs michael if it's not there take off and be an athlete
07:24Really good back-to-back plays from michael pennix
07:27When you watch those two plays back-to-back terrell bernard gets up in the line of scrimmage on the first one with the ball handling the second
07:32One he backs up because he doesn't want to get burned again. Now. You've got the linebackers second guessing themselves. They don't know what's coming
07:39Now cheers
07:42To the right now and cheer picks up and that's a heck of a play. Yeah, it's a heck of a play
07:48He shot the gap immediately
07:50I mean, it's just amazing like the kind of conflict this offense can put you in you know, watch him again
07:56Watch the linebacker here
07:58Charles is going to come downhill immediately. He's off the spot right now
08:02Now just picture them taking that ball showing it to the defender and then pulling it
08:05Yeah, and launching one over the top. It's so hard to play that off ball linebacker position against offenses like this
08:14Well cheer still in the game they need two on this third down
08:18three for four so far
08:22Off the play fake panics on the edge and flips it to pits
08:27As panics running to his right turns back and finds the tight end for a first down at the buffalo 40. Yeah
08:34I love this from michael pennix because it's the ball fake. You want to get to the perimeter
08:38He threatens the line of scrimmage with his legs and let's credit kyle pitts
08:42He just continues to mirror the quarterback on those nakeds. That's a big deal if you're that tight end
08:47I just want you to match where I am
08:50With wise on the field kyle pitts throttled down to match where michael pennix is easy throw and catch
08:57Penix building on that career performance before the bye the win here against washington
09:01Robinson on the end around
09:05And they haven't really hit him. They haven't affected him much. They've been moving him around and it's been hard for the bills to find him
09:11Yeah, he gets hit michael pennix gets hit about three times a game the only two quarterbacks
09:16Getting hit less per game are sam donaldon seattle and then tua down to miami
09:21I mean, he's getting rid of the ball so quickly because of the fact that look
09:25When he catches that ball and fires it if you're not disrupting these wide receivers
09:29He can throw on time and in rhythm. It's just impossible. It's impossible to affect him
09:33That's why it's so important for buffalo's defensive backs
09:36To try and stem the tide as far as the rhythm with which he can throw
09:40Eight of ten for panics and look at bajon in this slot matched up against one of the best nickels in football
09:45And you know the pitches to robinson on the edge
09:51He was well covered by trey white with the pass but give him a chance, but he's open though
09:56You know it. That's that's how special he is, you know, to your point good solid coverage by tradavious
10:02But again, how many backs lou in this league can line up in a traditional wide receiver running?
10:08Spray when he towards the sideline out road and win
10:12The thing you have to keep your eye on here though is that
10:15Atlanta is really victimizing the second level defenders
10:19The hook curl defenders the linebackers and nickels with their size and their ability
10:26In this third down panics again
10:29Has a little time robinson in the bottle it came out wobbly as that time they did get near the quarterback
10:34Again, not enough for the first down picked up six there. So it's going to be fourth down
10:39Russo got close to the panics that time. Yeah, this is really well done
10:43Atlanta offensive what you're going to get is you're going to lift coverage with these two receivers now
10:47Watch how these defenders lift and then pay attention to bajon slow slow slow
10:52Just go to that vacated space right there gives you the opportunity to go for this if I was atlanta
10:58I would be aggressive here
10:59See did get fingertips on it and they are offense on the field going for it. They need three
11:06Buffalo you've got to play man coverage here. You're going to tell the linebackers you got to come downhill
11:11You cannot let them gotta hurry. That's going to be the two-minute warning just before the play clock was
11:17About to expire atlanta up two touchdowns going for more here before halftime 21-7
11:23for the home team
11:30Falcons facing the fourth down guys trying to stretch this to a three-score game before halftime
11:34Nice run pass mix both are working well so far. They absolutely are and I can tell you right now
11:39Buffalo's defense is up against it. They look right now. They don't know what's coming and their guys look gassed
11:44These plays are coming at them fast and furious and they're marrying up perfectly
11:47Yeah, if I was atlanta, I would go for this josh allen on the other sideline on that home
11:52I also think buffalo cannot match up against me drake london has been outstanding if you're michael pennix
11:58Where's number five and where's number seven? That's where i'm starting with my eyes
12:06As robinson was to the left motions quickly to the right side
12:10And pennix across the middle broken up nicely. That's a fourth down stop is
12:16Taron johnson one of the elite nickels in the nfl broke up intended for washington
12:22This is how you play it you're playing outside leverage man-to-man safety in the middle of the field
12:27This is how you've got to play it. You have got to stay outside with leverage
12:33And then just drive hard on those in breaking routes. That's as perfect as you can play it
12:37It's as perfect as you can play i'm with you lou, but michael pennix has to throw that ball to drake london
12:43The matchup there is the big deal taron johnson on young player casey washington
12:47You had drake london on his traditional choice route. He wins. He's wide open
12:52That's got to be a learning moment for michael pennix great stop by buffalo's defense missed opportunity
12:57For atlanta offensively. He's looked only at london basically in the first half, but not
13:03On that fourth down play so allen
13:05Almost a full two minutes to work with they try to cut into the lead finds keyon coleman for a short game
13:11That is a huge stop. You're absolutely right chris because right now josh allen has to do josh allen type stuff
13:16Okay, he has to do those kind of things that you can't coach which means he needs to take full command
13:21He's not operating with all of his weapons out here
13:24And he's got to just make sure that they stay methodical no mistakes
13:27Palmar not in the game as allen breaks free delivers a low throw incomplete
13:35Hit the carpet before elijah moore to come up with it. So guys on the buffalo side asked to step up
13:41Those playmaker positions
13:43Oh
13:45I don't know that look
13:47Oh, yeah, I had his hands underneath it initially
13:52At the tip of the ball then did touch the turf before he had control of it. It's good so far. Let's take a cool look at that
13:59I don't know that's
14:01That's called it
14:03The ruling on the field of an incomplete pass is under review
14:07Mike chase a rules expert
14:10Far right here scrutinizing this one
14:13And we'll talk about it when we come back
14:16Bills trying to get this two minute drive going cut into a 14 point lead
14:28Call stands incomplete pass so
14:31Good effort by elijah moore, but just didn't have control
14:34They ruled and now allen facing third and six
14:39I think if you're josh allen you're thinking about one khalil shakir two dawson knox and then as a whole you better block
14:4655 as a pressure guy
14:49Look out ty johnson in
14:51Big throw out incomplete broken up very nicely far side by a
14:56Jay terrell and the falcons get a stop, but they'll have some time to work with before halftime now
15:01aj terrell has
15:03Ideal press man traits
15:06I mean just look at the feet and you see those long arms. You see the hand fighting again
15:10A little tug there on coleman thinking hey, man. Did he grab me at the at the move point of the route at the break point?
15:16Doesn't get the call but aj terrell. That's a huge addition him coming back from injury
15:21It's been a hang hamstring. They thought maybe he wouldn't be ready tonight, but he has shown up and making an impact
15:27It's now ski high boot
15:33And agnew waves for the fair catch
15:36And so Atlanta on 12 before halftime. We'll try to add to this lead
15:41There's a flag down on the punt so we'll check that the all-state halftime report is coming up with svp
15:47wyan clark and jason kelsey
15:49Boomer's fastest minute of course
15:53What an interesting game so far there's no foul on the play
16:03First down atlanta we talked about no open the fact that this is a statement game a measuring stick for atlanta wanting to burst onto the scene and say hey
16:11Take us serious. It's hard to argue with anything that they have done so far offensively. They looked explosive
16:18Defensively playing good complementary defense front and coverage going together
16:23Raheem morse has got to be
16:25Extremely happy
16:27Minus the initial play where bijan put it on the ground. What's the move here?
16:31I think you can run the football if I was atlanta. You got three timeouts
16:35Buffalo's getting the ball to start the second half. I still think that you can run your base offense or be completion driven
16:42There you go. Once again, he finds
16:45London who's got a little space and tough running after the catch
16:48Cam lewis had a hard time getting him down picks up nine clock moving
16:53That's that's the difference between five nine 183 pounds and six four 215
16:59Cam lewis is struggling to get him down urgency urgency on the snap
17:03They have the three timeouts chose not to spend one there
17:07Bill's come after panics who retreats and throws it away. Yeah
17:11That had a 42 second stand. Look that's 20 seconds after that play got done that drake london completion now only third and one
17:17But more urgency in that two minute drive
17:22Well, it's been a tough
17:24First half for the buffalo defense and offense as christian benford down on the field
17:31So they'll stop the clock before this third and one play
17:33How long lies on josh allen
17:41Solid start taking care of the football but the offensive line hasn't really taken care of him the pressure's been real
17:47He's five of eleven penics. Meanwhile for the most part excellent protection and a bunch of accurate throws
17:53It's all comes off of that run game though. I mean look with the way
17:57Atlanta is capturing the line of scrimmage they right now can have their way with the run game play action pass game
18:05Well, you can never count out 17
18:07What's uh what's panics done best dan i think what you've seen is his be very decisive with his
18:18Way, he's seeing the defense you know that play action pass to drake london early on
18:22I absolutely love the third down in the soft spots of the zone once again to drake london in between that number and a half the touchdown
18:29And that's the ball placement throwing away from a defender is what ball placement is so good
18:33So this is coming off of two weeks ago. I know you mentioned it chris the washington performance the best game of his career
18:40And so far tonight 10 of 15 122 yards a touchdown ball really hasn't been put in harm's way
18:46He's been really good with his decision making for me. It's the ball placement though
18:51I always say accuracy is throwing it to your guy
18:53Ball placement is throwing it away from the defender. We've seen multiple examples of where he throws the ball
18:59Away from or pulling his receiver away from a bill's defender marcus ingerman at corner. You saw benford walk off
19:07He's on hits the hole quickly darts forward first down
19:15block still
19:17Moving for the moment this offensive line of atlanta
19:21Is just dominating at the line of scrimmage that time they just took ed oliver and just put him on the ground. We'll take a timeout here
19:27Unbelievable effectiveness right now up front. They are playing
19:30Such complimentary football with insides of the ball meaning the offensive line
19:34Their timing on the combos getting up to the second level their physicality the way bison's hitting the hole. I mean just look at that
19:41I mean, it's not by accident. It's all going together on this possession though guys
19:46They moved it 14 yards. They took over with a minute two
19:49So I'm silly a long way to go to get near field goal range. Yeah, totally
19:53But I two timeouts still I think this is a chance you could take a shot a lot of missing or pieces in
19:59Buffalo secondary you could give drake london a a one-on-one ball downfield
20:05Penix looking downfield launches over the middle and it's broken up
20:10Coming across was trey white there to make the play as he tried to find washington
20:17Benford walking off slowly
20:19It's a really good job play by tredavious white
20:22It's a nice route by casey washington balls there and man that left hand just pokes at the football great great veteran play by white
20:31It's now 31 seconds
20:39You need chunks here because you need another 15 20 yards
20:43Call a timeout see if you can get a field goal with your buffalo. You got to know you got to keep the lid on the defense
20:50And london was free and for the first time tonight
20:54Hennicks missed an open guy that would have been out near midfield and this is one i'd love a little bit more touch on the throw if you're
21:01Michael penix we call this a corner or a shake route we're high-lowing
21:05That corner in the cover two flat area and if he just throws with a little bit of touch
21:09You're going to see michael penix peeking out here now
21:12freeze it
21:13Drake is going to take this route here
21:16If you just put a little touch and bleed in towards the sideline instead of that firm ball allow his frame
21:22You can miss a little higher
21:23That's going to be a completion not as firm of a throw needed there see the block that bichon robinson threw on holliver there
21:30Through his body into it and now after
21:34Taking those shots downfield they just run it into the middle things getting a little salty here pushing and shoving
21:38London is involved with a couple of members of the bills defense, but you got a hand of the superstar
21:44Running back his run for 138 tonight caught a couple passes look at him here number seven
21:49That's a big dude. Oliver. He knocked him sideways. If it wasn't for greg rousseau
21:54Oliver would have been on the ground
21:56And I think you see terrell bernard down on the field
21:59Literally doing it all in the first half. He sure he sure is
22:02I'm on a slab. I mean this team is just so young and so
22:07Ready to just burst onto the scene. This is more
22:10Unfortunate news for the bills this time. It's terrell bernard who's been on the field this athletic training staff for the bills have been
22:18Much much too busy in the first half. This is a defense that their first round pick maxwell hairston
22:24He hasn't played yet this year their second round pick tj sanders has barely played
22:28At oliver's just coming off of injury. Milano out tonight. Look at your picture there. Bernard goes down
22:35daquan jones got hurt their run stopping defensive tackle in warm-up, so
22:39This is a unit that's been just down defensive bodies for the majority of the season and already a couple out
22:45He was gripping his right ankle even before rap got shoved over top and fell on him
22:50Okay, it's been an extremely extremely physical game as you see matt milano on the sideline
22:56Jake matthews walking off here at the end of the first half
23:00the iron man starting his hundred and eighty third
23:03consecutive game trying to chase down
23:06his dad's all-time streak
23:10For the bills not only down a couple touchdowns but down some key guys that offensively and defensively from this first half
23:16There's nothing you can't scheme around that you can't skate especially when you're looking at this secondary in particular
23:21I mean, they are getting super thin at corner
23:25And I know atlanta's been gas them in the run game
23:28But the downfield passing attack outside the numbers is something I would expect to tick up in the second half
23:33Pinion to punt it away. It's a good one
23:37Coming up making a fair catch at the 30 is codring to just 15 seconds
23:41Before a halftime in the great
23:44First half for penix his left tackle
23:48And the leg with bats that's unfortunate big guy number 70 going down. It's been a it's been a rough
23:55Rough game in the trenches on both sides tonight in terms of guys getting banged up
24:01We talked about it at the open this is something that buffalo wanted to do
24:04They wanted to play with physicality and you see atlanta is up to the up to the challenge
24:09They are absolutely up to the challenge
24:12We'll just have that one time out there to take two with injuries
24:16So alan would have to pitch it downfield
24:20Spend one and perhaps
24:22Set up for a long field goal
24:25If he has time I should say do it across the middle and instead throws an interception
24:30Seven seconds to work with d alford came across the middle
24:34Allen had to hesitate and atlanta's got a shot here maybe at a hail mary before half time
24:40That's a such a good break by d alford
24:43Just breaking on this little in cut just look at the footwork
24:47The plant and drive the finish
24:50It is just absolutely perfect
24:54Just look at the pedal clue in the quarterback open your hips
24:59Wide receiver breaks inside get out of your break clean and then finish on the football
25:02It's the first turnover tonight and the third
25:07Interception of the season for allen let it doesn't have to go far here. They've got
25:12The timeouts to work with if they need him to set up
25:16Or coromo rookie kicker he hit one from 65 in warm-up, but the reliable range you know 55 56 yards, so
25:24They make a kind of a short quick throw and take the time out. They can give him a shot. Yeah, absolutely
25:29That's just a poor decision by josh allen
25:32I think if you're atlanta
25:39I'm going to review this interception by alfred make sure that he had control as he went down
25:44And
25:49Yeah, it's not even close. Yeah, he rolls over easily has
25:52So control there. I would say this chris that's the type of interception that josh allen even said himself. I can't do those
25:58Atlanta's ball at the 49 yard line
26:01He could have missed throws
26:03But mental decisions that are poor if i'm atlanta right now 49
26:07So you're looking at a 67 68 yard field goal
26:11You probably want 10 or 12 yards now. It's really important
26:15If you get that 10 or 12 yard completion you're telling everybody in your huddle right now if you're michael pennix
26:20You catch you get down and it's immediately timeout. I don't need you to catch run three four or five yards because the clock
26:27Is most important having those timeouts is a big deal. So it's trying to get a 10 or 12 yard completion
26:31Immediately declare yourself down get down and pop your timeout. Yeah, the replay move the ball back
26:37Four yards ring then alfred had been touched as he went down so a little farther from field goal range both committed with 10 seconds here
26:44This is the guy
26:49Third final charge timeout buffalo 30 seconds
26:53You saw pits and london lined up next to each other on the right side. I think yeah
26:57I think if you're sean mcdermott, but you're trying to by all means
27:02Not allow them to get into a position where they can make this a three-score game
27:06Look, I mean every every possession is just crucial here. You see how tough it is for their offense to move the football right now
27:13He's a touchdown drive since then four punts and that pick for the buffalo offense
27:18They're down bodies right now. James cook only has seven carries time of possession has massively favored atlanta
27:25It's a big play. I think atlanta it put drake london put kyle pitts together
27:30You're gonna get zoned try to get that completion pop your timeout
27:35London and pitts still lined up to the left
27:38Robinson in the backfield gotta be quick and that's quick and it's effective and london takes a hit as he goes out
27:44At the 50 they pick up nine
27:47Down to six seconds to the risk running another play. Yeah, I think you can run another play here
27:52I think you can get a run that goes downhill
27:56And again the conversation in the huddle is hey, we're trying to get four or five yards
28:00You have to declare yourself down after three or four yards and pop your timeout
28:05Right now be a 57 yard or a couple yards belong beyond parker romo's
28:12career long
28:14Penix gotta be quick gets it out catch made london off and running can he get to the end zone time is run out touchdown or nothing
28:24Touchdown atlanta
28:27Triple zero they'll review this but if it stands what a play to punctuate a spectacular first half
28:34If he's out the half is over and they get nothing out of this
28:39That's exactly what you're trying to guard against right foot in the paint ball not across
28:46So instead of a touchdown to end the half
28:50The fact that he was so open after the catch ends up costing him a potential field goal try
28:54What did we just talk about though with the amount of players that they have injured for buffalo especially in the secondary on the corner
29:00The touchdown is under review
29:02That it was going to be an area that they were going to attack maybe in the second half here
29:07buffalo gambles puts their corners in man-to-man coverage where right now
29:11They're just outclassed. They just don't have the bodies
29:14But yes, i i'm totally with you on that lou, but I think that's
29:19It's it
29:20You want your player to be aggressive
29:22But if drake london's out of bounds you get no shot at points here. Yeah, the replay is going to take this away
29:28They were very casual and wasteful with the time at the beginning of this possession the drive began with 102 guys
29:34And they were
29:35Kind of messing around not playing with a ton of urgency not using the timeouts and look it's going to
29:41Yeah, it does
29:45Let's not lose that you're right what an effort to not
29:48Just before the ball broke the plane but see even more so yeah, you're right
29:52I mean, there's a lot of things you're going to wind up second guessing about this sequence right here
29:55The one i'm second guessing though is do you want to put your guys in one-on-one coverage? Yeah in that situation
30:00London knew yeah, they get to the end zone or or get down
30:05But as it stands a pretty tremendous first half of the hitlanta falcons
30:10Monday night for the first time in seven years. Let's go to peter
30:13Rah we go to that place so close your reaction as it's just ruled out of
30:17Obviously, it's hard hard to fault the player there when is that open taking a shot
30:21Would like to get the field goal they would like to get the touchdown
30:23But didn't happen our way, but you can't fault our guys being aggressive. Absolutely. They're reigning mvps in this building
30:29It's Monday night football. You held them to seven points. You pick them off at the end
30:32Got to be thrilled with this defensive effort, you know, the guys are playing well
30:34You know, we got to come out and do it again. We know who we're playing without they're playing superman
30:37So got ready to deal raw. Thank you. Good luck second half. Thank you, Peter
30:40You look good too, by the way
30:41The lead is still 14 as atlanta behind
30:45335
30:47Offensive yards in the first half lead it by two scores the all-state halftime and scoff and pelt coming up next
30:53Tonight's first half highlights are presented by target
30:58Muscles through
31:03Bangs into the end zone
31:05Fires
31:06Touchdown
31:07Reaching across to break the plane
31:10Posts up at the goal line
31:12De'Jane Robinson
31:13Touchdown Falcons
31:15That is absolutely beautiful
31:16Get everything you need to win game day at
31:23Targets
31:25Allen on that opening drive two for two and a touchdown to knock since then he struggled he's been pressured
31:31They have not been able to get the running game with cook going at all and pennix has been spinning it
31:37167 pass yards in the first half he's john robinson the electric 81 yard run
31:43So atlanta fans in a good mood cheesy
31:46Kept it going at half set but brought a big stage out
31:48He made a big entrance there atlanta is enjoying their first monday night game in seven years. What's your favorite cheesy song?
31:55He's like next
31:57Hey, i'll tell you what they are having a party here in this stadium
32:01You've got to be excited if you're atlanta falcon fan with the way this offense looked in that first half
32:06They have got playmakers they are confident
32:10See if they can close it out here in the second half
32:13See a buffalo can get going here codrington on the return
32:17And he'll be knocked down at the 26
32:20And here's katie with uh sean mcdermott
32:23Sean atlanta's shown great balance offensively. What do you need to see from your defense this half?
32:27Well, they're staying two-dimensional. We're not we're not fitting the run the right way
32:31We're out of our gaps, which we're an eight-man front, but we're out of our gaps and so it breaks down the defense
32:35You get the ball here. How do you refine your offensive rhythm?
32:38Well, we need to we got reached out to find a scrimmage and stay two-dimensional on offense. Thank you
32:44Dermott's offense out gained by 200 yards and down two scores, but you're never out of it when number 17 is on the field
32:54Cook did not make an impact at all in the first half some tough running there as he picks up about eight
33:01First half drives after that touchdown drive got him going four punts in the pick by allen late in the half
33:07And after that first touchdown drive, it's 14 nothing atlanta
33:11Atlanta at 278 yards and buffalo at 48. That's a good start though
33:16They got to get james cook more carries. They've got to do start moving the line of scrimmage
33:20I mean sean just said it you better recapture the line of scrimmage
33:23Otherwise, there's nothing James can get going this young revamped atlanta defensive front
33:28They've been earning their paychecks tonight
33:30Give it to him again on second and two and cook
33:34Let's get the hand out. They've invested so much time money
33:37Energy into the pass rush and they've affected ellen tonight that and they plugged up the run game
33:43They absolutely have look brandon doorless david on yamada. I mean he has played tonight
33:48With abandoned and really it's the second level defenders when you look at guys like jalen walker kade ellis
33:55Defined the diablos made a couple nice plays. I mean they have got youth they have got power
34:00They have got speed and they're all playing in unison tonight
34:03Terrell being back at corner has helped the secondary as well
34:07Ty johnson to the left of allen for this first half play josh right back fires low and the catch is made by
34:18Shakir
34:20Made a play early contained after that bates on the stop. He got nine
34:24That's gonna have to be the guy this second half
34:27How many different ways can they move khalil shakir around?
34:30This is something he does as good as anybody that's that choice route where
34:33He's running off of the leverage of the defender jesse bates that safety stays outside
34:38And he breaks inside now two tight ends fullback in the game if you're buffalo stay consistent with your downhill run
34:48Cook again
34:50And see josh palmer in the game of course with the pretend he was walking around that appeared to have an ankle problem
34:57Yeah, and you know, he really does
35:00Affect this offense in terms of its ability to push the ball to the third level and get down field
35:06And really kind of present them with an explosive play component
35:09And if you're atlanta right now and you're jeff olbrich
35:11You're raheem morris you're going hey look we need to suffocate this team
35:15We need to go ahead and put their lights out and come down on this football team
35:20So they don't get the running game going so terrell bernard the middle linebacker
35:25Waiting to come on the field. He hopes for the first offensive sequence for the falcons, but struggling
35:34Allen
35:35Deep drop has time crossing right the shavers and one of the guys is gonna have to step up
35:40We'll keep from san diego safe picked up seven a really good job
35:45You saw josh at the line of scrimmage communicate and then there's this underneath the center crosser where shavers is going to go in motion
35:52Terrell stays outside wait wait wait no protection necessary
35:56And then that's that check down look deep find your check down you see how hard it is
36:02Right now for buffalo to create some space in the passing game everything has to be about deception
36:06They just don't have the athletes right now to win one-on-one outside man for man
36:11Keon coleman has not been a factor the big physical receiver just one catch for four yards
36:17Allen pressured flips it short knocked down quickly is
36:21Ray davis who came out of the backfield but it's enough for a first down
36:24Yeah, so let's think about it this from joe brady's perspective the offensive coordinator for buffalo
36:29You're in this world where my offensive line is the strength of us
36:34Now can I get the ball to james cook can I get the ball to a ty johnson or a ray davis?
36:39These guys are all gonna have to play very specific roles
36:43For their offense and the big thing is making sure
36:46That josh allen isn't taking hits to his lower half
36:50Knocked down there
36:52Just look at katie all 11 players within eight yards of the line of scrimmage
36:56Just cook finding some space driving forward and he's getting going now
36:59That's a welcome sign for buffalo as he rips off a dozen yards. I mean, that's what you got to do, right?
37:06You've got to establish the line of scrimmage and let your running back go to work. This is called duo watch the double teams
37:11That everybody's double teaming that's a great job by dawkins and edwards that tight end folding in
37:18Jackson hawes. That's one of the staples of this offense
37:21Shavers guys inside the receiver came inside. It's an involved block. That's what it's gonna be. That's what's gonna take
37:27It's a mandatory part of this offense. All 11 have to be a part of the run game
37:33Eighth play of the drive
37:35The bills try to cut into this lead and cook again beginning to get downhill another nice chunk on first down
37:42Deion Dawkins you see him come down on the double team and just get moving at the point of attack, but sometimes the game
37:48Really gets simplified for you. What are your strengths?
37:51What are your weaknesses right now?
37:52Your strength in this offensive line be on Dawkins at 653 20 david edwards 663 like they have to run behind
37:58And really lean on the strength of what they have left and that's those five guys up front
38:05And cook beginning to find some space behind them davis in
38:09Dispailing the tailback now
38:11This is second and three
38:13Allen on the move now flips it to davis. He's got some space davis for the pylon dives touchdown
38:25Bills score to open the second half as they did the first
38:31Nice drive 16 yards for the end zone for davis
38:35I mean it's just too late on the part of
38:42Xavier watts to get his man match and there you're gonna see davis that right foot he leaps he gets inside the pylon
38:50As you see xavier watts in pursuit
38:53But he had already lost leverage on it at the put at the snap of the ball what a great job
38:57By ray davis getting that right foot down and getting that ball across the goal line move round pick out of kentucky so the bills
39:08You know got a little lucky but atlanta didn't get anything out of that last drive
39:13In the second or the first half and now open the second half
39:17With a 73 yard nine play touchdown drive and the lead is back to seven
39:21Designing success brought to you by kfc
39:32Bills offensive line doing the job and the backs getting loose cook more yards in that drive
39:3737 on the ground that he had in the entire first half
39:41And saw mcdermott said coming out of the half we got to establish the line of scrimmage
39:44They have the second most rushes up the middle between the tackles in the nfl as a unit this year
39:49Cook sets him up and davis a nice dive to the end zone on the screen
39:57And all that is chris right is just knowing what you have left right and what you have left is pretty darn good
40:02You have a starting group of five that when they're all playing in unison
40:05They're as good as any in the nfl and that guy right there
40:11Jimbo as josh allen calls him
40:13Kevin thompson elevated and thomkins knocked out near the 30
40:22Another monday night football doubleheader next week seven o'clock
40:27Buccaneers and the lions
40:29Baker in action on abc and espn at 10 o'clock will be out in seattle texans and the seahawks
40:36On espn three o'clock eastern nfl live at ford field
40:41sbp of the countdown crew it's like the the double header of quarterback castoffs baker mayfield you're not good go to tampa
40:48jared goff get out of la
40:52Sam darnold no longer in seattle all three of them having outstanding seasons
40:57First possession of the half for pennix and the falcons darn near unstoppable in the first half and
41:02There's bijon up the left side still driving they get him down after about an eight-yard game peter
41:08Guys lost in some of the hysteria at the end of the first half was we saw jake matthews walk
41:13To the tunnel to lock them guys. He's out with an ankle injury. Mr. Durability is out for the game
41:18wow wow that's a that's a key loss for the
41:22alkins offensive line you saw terrell bernard he's over there with the helmet off so
41:27A key part the captain and then in the middle of this bill's defense and cold bishop out of the game on this snap
41:36And tara mounting on both sides
41:41And well robinson
41:43Hesitation enough to move the six and get this drive going anybody have down there well bernard is dealing with a right ankle injury chris
41:50He's been invisible pain trying to run and warm up that ankle in the team box
41:53He's technically considered questionable to return
41:56But he's currently sitting on the bench with his beanie on and he looks very frustrated guys
42:00matt milano still out of course daquan jones hurt his calf and warm up one of the starting
42:05Some defensive lineman for the bills injuries can just derail every plan that you have
42:10With dorian williams and shaq thompson you're up
42:13Atlanta would love to settle things down
42:19Rain down a long drive to respond to the bills touchdown penix from the pocket running out of time
42:25It'll be swarmed and slammed down by big ed oliver
42:30Welcome return for that stud in the middle of the defense. They lose 13
42:36This is an example of coverage and front work going together
42:39It's his tight man coverage in the back end and michael penix is sitting back there pumping the football
42:44Trying to find an open receiver and he can't ed oliver just able to continue to work his pass rush
42:50And there you see it dorian williams
42:53taylor rap
42:54That's how it all goes together. That's how buffalo is going to have to get back into this complementary football
43:00A bunch of guys stepping up with some key guys
43:05out injured
43:07Second and 23 it's a screen
43:10Pitts and the tight end works his way for a nice game
43:15Giving them a shot here on third down. He picked up 10. It'll be third and 12
43:20And just look at kyle pitts out there weaving his way through traffic
43:24He just looks like a big wide receiver, which essentially is what he is. We haven't heard a lot from him tonight
43:28But man, they're excited about his upside with michael penix pulling the trigger
43:35You're five now pro bowler in his rookie season. They've struggled to get back to that production sense. They just wanted to play fast
43:41You know, you just got to use your athleticism play fast think less
43:45It was his second catch tonight
43:47See what the bills do they're showing pressure here on third and 13 backup tackles in the game for atlanta buffalo has to get home
43:53They're bringing it penix back pedals lofts it downfield london can't get to it
43:58There's a flag down
44:00way behind the play
44:02Benford in coverage out there on the
44:05Featured target tonight for penix they threw it in the area
44:09Chris of taron johnson playing tight man coverage on the play
44:13He's over plays
44:14throw down
44:15Who's from the atlanta fans and the bills fans who are hearing huge numbers?
44:19Standing and cheering as their defense gets a stop lewis kind of the same thing that just led to that sack that tight man coverage
44:25Benford knows that safety's down inside
44:28He can stay outside leverage because he has help to his inside on drake london. It's a good job ball buffalo
44:34What's the ideal start come out score in the second half off of the unbelievable effort play at the end of the first?
44:40By rap and get a stop on defense now ball back to your one of the highest scoring offenses in the league
44:47Codrington comes up to the opinions punt at the 27. He's got some space there dancing down the sidelines flag comes out
44:56on the return
44:57Which may spoil what would have been good field position for buffalo
45:01But the reigning mvp
45:05With his second touchdown pass tonight cutting into the lead and now allen and the bills will go right back to work
45:11They have turned around momentum in this game team number 39
45:1510-yard penalty first down timeout
45:19Allen and buffalo back to work after this
45:23This guy came powered by verizon zooming over a section of the stadium that has
45:35mostly atlanta fans up below us here plenty of red white and blue buffalo fans and they have uh enjoyed what they've seen since halftime
45:44Leads seven defense get to stop and now allen from the 20
45:50They got cook going
45:52In that first possession of the third quarter they give it to him again dodges some traffic in the backfield just shakes that off
45:59Another big first down chunk of nine
46:03Look the yards after contact. I mean
46:06Joe bracing they're going hey, you know what? I think I found a couple things
46:09And we're just going to let number four go to work
46:14Look at the strength look at the balance
46:16People around his waist around his thighs
46:19He's 190 pounds and he runs like he's 220
46:22347 of his 450 coming in after contact that's a hundred percent
46:33Cook's got it again stretches and they have a first down to get this drive going
46:38Just think about this from buffalo again joe brady the offense coordinator. He's basically calling his offense right now with
46:44you know one
46:45receiver that's
46:47Shakir and then
46:48Keon has been up and down
46:49But really two tight ends and a fullback
46:52And so they're just getting into these kind of condensed formations double tight end fullback on the field running the same play
46:59And so it's going to be about that duo run that efficiency
47:02They got to be really good with their double teams and cook's vision has to be such a big deal
47:08I
47:12Formation gilliam in front of they fake it to cook
47:15Allen steps up trying to make something happen on the move lucky to hold on to the ball
47:20It's incomplete to coleman as a flag down deep in the secondary
47:25That'll be on that'll be on atlanta defensively absolutely
47:28tackling key on coleman they came after defense number one effectively five yard penalty
47:34automatic for the katie and roberts with the heavy pressure
47:37Here's what happened way away from the ball downfield yeah, aj terrell
47:41See this looking back at the quarterback
47:47you
