00:00Buffalo Bills, this is a team, they have, they feel similar because, you know,
00:06they got Josh in a lot of the parts and Cook, but they have made a lot of changes.
00:11They've made a change, obviously, a head coach, Sean McDermott, is out,
00:14but it feels similar because it's Joe Brady, Mr. Fade, Joe Brady.
00:21That haircut caught us off guard.
00:22We saw when that hat came off, Joe Brady's got a little something else to him.
00:25And it relates to these young men a little bit more than maybe some of these other coaches.
00:30But he's the new head coach.
00:33Jim Leonard is now in as the defensive coordinator,
00:36so they've made some changes to the coaching staff.
00:39Wonder how much the philosophy will change because Joe Brady was still there, but we'll see.
00:44And then they brought in D.J. Moore.
00:46He becomes, I would say, their number one receiver to go along with some of the guys.
00:50They had Bradley Chubb.
00:52They've hired another older defensive end last year.
00:55It was Joey Bosa this year.
00:56They bring in Bradley Chubb.
00:58C.J. Gardner-Johnson, we knew of him.
01:01They've added some members on that offensive line, including Lloyd Cushenberry.
01:06So they have made some moves there,
01:08but this is also a team that the Texans have clearly had their number the last two times.
01:17They've been tight games that have come down to the wire,
01:19and they've both been at NRG, which will now be Reliant.
01:24But they've been tight games, but they have not only just had their numbers,
01:28specifically had the number of Josh Allen.
01:31So with that and what we've seen, you all can jump in on this.
01:35Where's your concern level with the Buffalo Bills?
01:38I think the concern level with the Bills should always be at a 10.
01:41Oh, you're at a 10.
01:42This is the first 10 I think you've given.
01:44Regardless of the history.
01:46Now, I do think you have the upper hand because of the history.
01:50I do think that Vegas will acknowledge what's going on the last three times you've played,
01:55three or four times you've played the Bills.
01:57Absolutely.
01:58But, Ron, it was so bad.
02:01It was so bad for Buffalo the last couple of times for sure.
02:05My recall is not great, but it was so bad for them offensively,
02:10for Josh Allen and for the game plan,
02:13that you're a switch being flipped in the mind of Josh Allen
02:20or a good game plan from completely changing the Buffalo Bills as an opponent.
02:30I don't know that I've ever seen Josh Allen overwhelmed the way that he's –
02:34I've seen him in some bad predicaments.
02:37I don't know that I've ever seen him overwhelmed the way that I can recall.
02:40He completed nine passes.
02:41Coach, and had no answers.
02:44I mean, he was snapping the football not knowing where it was coming from.
02:48Like, a good game plan against this defense that just is going to change the match.
02:57A Josh Allen that just has answers versus D'Amico's defense
03:03is going to change the game drastically.
03:05And we've seen guys of way lesser talent and way lesser resume
03:12come in here and have big games.
03:14We've watched Jacoby Brissett do it.
03:16I mean, come in here and have big games against –
03:19we've watched my man in Tampa Bay, Baker Mayfield, do it multiple times.
03:22Like, that is – they're one – hey, Josh Allen's got the answers today
03:27away from it being – I'm not saying they're going to beat them,
03:29but it has – I got the Texans winning that game.
03:31But they're one good game plan and one – hey, Josh, let's just have answers, man.
03:36Let's not try to be Superman away from the matchup being totally different
03:40than what we've seen the last three or four times.
03:41Yeah, it's – it's like saying, like, yeah, man, we got Wimby's number.
03:49Yeah.
03:50And then all of a sudden, like, you know, he's like a freak of nature
03:54and then, like, then you don't.
03:56Yes.
03:56You know what I mean?
03:57Yes.
03:57And they do because – it is weird.
04:00When you watch Buffalo play the Texans, he doesn't seem so hard to get to
04:06and get down like he does against other opponents.
04:09Yeah.
04:09Will's all over his ass the last couple of years.
04:12I mean, that – like, when I think of Will, those are the – like, he's chasing his ass down.
04:19But, again, this is one of the best players in the league.
04:24Yeah.
04:24And this is now him and Joe Brady have had multiple looks at this defense.
04:32And you could argue, Clint, this may be the best support maybe all around in terms of skills
04:40with Cook being there.
04:41They love all the other backs they use and Johnson and Davis
04:44and then DJ Moore to go with Shakir and Josh Palmer with Kincaid,
04:50which you would think week one he's going to be healthy in that game in particular.
04:56Yeah, I would say around a nine for me they're a concern because it is hard for me to just
05:02say,
05:02yeah, man, they'll – like, it's not just that they are – they have, like, Josh's number.
05:10Like, they're beating the hell out of them.
05:12Yeah.
05:12Like, it's not – like, he's not playing good.
05:14It's burned the film bad.
05:16Yeah, yeah.
05:16It's like there's no sense in watching this bad.
05:18It's not like – like, yeah, man, he played bad, but, you know, he threw for 250 and, you know,
05:23two touchdowns and a pick.
05:24No, no, no, no, no.
05:25He completed nine for 30.
05:27Yes.
05:28Right?
05:28He doesn't run the ball well like he does against everybody else.
05:32He doesn't get big plays against everybody else.
05:34So – and the games are tight.
05:37Yep.
05:38That's the other part about it is the games are tight,
05:41and he's playing nowhere near to the level that he does.
05:45And there's a lot of times you can look at these games that they've played the last two years.
05:49If he played average, that you would think maybe the outcome is a bit different.
05:54They just haven't allowed him to play average.
05:55Yeah, Ron, it's – look, I picked the Texans because of the history,
05:59which I'm not real comfortable with because I think it could end up getting us in trouble.
06:03But that's really all I've got to lean into.
06:05I will be shocked if it works out that way, though.
06:08I'll be shocked if this is another game where Josh just looks pedestrian,
06:12looks like he's lost the whole game, and offensively they can't get anything.
06:16No, I think –
06:17I think they can't be had.
06:18Oh, yeah.
06:19Or it has been traditionally the year.
06:20They've tried to add some things there.
06:22But I think their defense can't be had, and I think the Texans' offense,
06:25if this offense is really coming together and making changes like they have said,
06:30could give them problems too.
06:32But, yeah, Buffalo – Buffalo for me is the highest grade we've given.
06:36I've given so far.
06:38Like a nine, you said a ten, even though they've played a really well.
06:41That's Cook and Allen.
06:42That's – I mean, I don't – I'll be shocked if Brady doesn't have –
06:48Brady and Allen don't have some answers for this defense.
06:50That's that – I like it.
