to another team that balled out on the offensive side of
the ball and the defensive side of the ball on Monday, the bills,
beating the Titans, crushing them 41 27.
You've already said, this is the best game of to his career.
Might be the best game of Lamar's career.
Where where does this game ranked in Josh? Allen's career?
Well, he's had a lot of good ones, he saw it. I'm not going
to say it's the best but
You know, my
my thought of after watching the game live and then watching
on film did not change a lot. I know we did our podcast Monday
so we didn't get to react to this like could being a
Monday night football game. But,
you know, he has gotten to a point where it's cheat code
time.
It's, it's really it's insane. It's cheat, code time. It's
like what I felt about Aaron Rodgers in 2010, 11, 12, 13.
Just going,
if you're not a great defense, you can't stop this guy. You
just you can Because
he
makes all the right decisions, mentally, right? He sees
the field, so incredibly well. And then as we always discuss when
you do play The Perfect Defense, he just like, oh okay,
there's nothing open. I'll buy a
little more time and something will come open here,
eventually, six seven, eight, nine seconds later and then he
makes it happen that way. And so that's where it's gotten
just unbelievably scary. The way he sees the field, the
decision-making, the pinpoint accuracy and high degree of
difficulty. Of throws its insanity. And I do think
that he's yeah, you know, again this is why I think he's
the best quarterback in the game right now. Obviously it's easy
to see those long touchdown passes to digs but something
that caught your eye. Yeah, take me. There was how quickly
he got the ball to some
of his receivers and gave him a chance to work. No doubt.
That's the other thing that's important, you know, impressive
about him. Like we just talked about with to uh,
you know, first off, like they do the RPO game to run the ball
if you just run the
Oh, and then put Stefon Diggs on a 5-yard, out route. If you
play off, he kind of just puts it out there like the run and
then he can just flick it out there so quick to like an Aaron
Rodgers type of level, then, of course his arms. So strong
that the ball is like, holy crap. He could barely see it on
film. So he's amazing that way. And that stresses you out, too.
Because now you're trying to
wait. We're trying to stop the run and worry about that. We
don't want to give up the big play, but he, he loves throwing
out routes. He's not scared to throw out. Our oats are
a forgotten. An
art form in the NFL
and they did not afraid to and it and of course that stops you
from playing a lot of off coverage because you just go
15-yard
out. 10-yard out, holy cow, we can't play off forever. We
gonna do something else and that's where he is. No
question,
really? Really good. That was a definitely interesting thing
about the game, that that little part of it and then he
can still beat you deep. As you saw against the Titans with
digs deep
the play. That's All Over social media.
You liked it though and taking a closer look at it for
Different reason. Yes, you don't think all quarterbacks
necessarily would have stayed on digs. Well, it was a little
bit like the two opposed to Tyreke, right? This isn't, this
is an En Vogue thing in the NFL right now
because of the krauser thing. Once again, I'm trying to tell
you about teams are crossers followed by another in cut or
another krauser. So they or it might be a shallow Crosser with
a deep cross. Iran in
gun, you just go like, damn, we need to get people in
the middle of the field here, to stop this because there's just
so many windows that a quarterback in hit, one of
those crossers in, right?
Right? So you play the single safety defense to make it look
like, hey, you the post route won't be there. You can't throw
a post route and,
you know, so the quarterback set hut. He goes like, I don't
think I have the post route but then the safety is looking for
crossers and on this one.
Yeah, by yard, Kevin byard. He takes the cross her underneath.
They call it cutting. The crossers, and my world or
football world. And, yeah, his ability, just stay with that.
And see it happened down the field and then let digs work
realizing that. Hey, wait, this is
Really get three deep Zone here. This guy's kind of cheating me
and staying with it and putting the ball on the money and digs
looks as good as he's looked, you know, really ever in his
career. Talk about a dir offense, that's clicking on all
cylinders because obviously Alan and digs there
and the running just enough, just enough one is, that's
right. So what are they doing with their formations? They're
mixing of personnel. That could potentially be making it hard
on defense. Yeah, I think,
you know, they have a little experience with the Tennessee
Titans, you know, I think they have experienced Probably with,
you know, that defense similarities with New England
at all. That this is this is very interesting to me about
the football game, you know, because
Mackenzie was healthy, Jameson crowd are healthy. I know they
had no Gabe, Davis, right? And they're a team that generally
likes to live in the 11 personnel, world one, tight
end, one running back, three wide receivers,
but they played like, and I don't know if we ever got to
the numbers on this Pete. Maybe you can look it up real quick,
if not, it's not a big deal
because I just go in with
I know this, they were playing
two tight ends, two backs, you know, two tight ends, one back,
right
and playing Personnel sets to where you go. They look like
they're going to play Smash Mouth football and do that. And
you know, then so I sit there and go that and go. Okay, so
why? Why why,
why are they doing this? What's there's a reason they're doing
this and you sit there to watch and you start to realize. Oh,
okay. Here's what they're doing,
you know, you think, oh, maybe they want to keep
the linebacker on the field and keep them in base defense,
right? The Titans didn't do that. They were like when you
still got Josh Allen, we're still scared of the past to
a degree,
so they had nickel still in and those situations.
But would I do think it did?
Is it simplifies their coverages see where Tennessee
gets dangerous is when they get you in second and long
or third down, obvious passing situations, they play coverages
where you know, you've heard me describe this in the past,
I don't know what the this coverage is. It's just
everybody seems to be dropping right in the right area because
they've broken You down. And they got this guy dropping
here, and this guy dropping their, and this guy's cover in
man-to-man, but there were playing Zone over here. And
and that's where variable and Shane bone, are very creative
on that side of the ball. I think with those Personnel
sets, it simplifies you because again what happens is a lot of
times when you get into those Personnel sets teams do worry
about
well damn if they put two tight ends over here on this side of
the ball and all that or shift to a formation. I don't want to
be outnumbered in the Run game or leave it.
Gap or to unaccounted for because
we got some guy that's
you know, looks like he's covering this guy and then
going to turn his back and run to some other area and drop in
the zone. So I think that's what it did to them.
It took away all the crazy disguises and confusion
to where it kind of got vanilla for a guy like Josh Allen and
now he's just going. Okay, I got it covered 300
K to man. Oh I blahblahblah. And he just slowly picked it
apart. I would think that's the reason they did that. So a lot
of the problems for the
Tennessee Titans were created by the Buffalo Bills.
And did you think they were bigger out there? Is that what
was in your notes at the end of your notes? Well, they're just
seemed,
they're just bigger and general the tie, I mean, the bills, you
know, the D line has real size to hold up against people like
the Titans. Now, both sides, I'm all sides of the ball. The
old line,
you know, I don't sit here and go. Oh, this old lines, just
a Road Reading crew, but it's good enough and well-coached
enough and big enough. Now, to wear seen games against teams,
like Titans in the past, or Jeffrey Simmons, and Bud
Dupree.
And some of these guys,
They push people back in the Josh. Alan's face all game long.
Yeah, and it make it hard on them
and we don't really care. Sometimes just write all its
Josh, allen hill, just thrown have people hanging on them.
It'll set off his back foot, but it messes the quarterback
up and throws him out of rhythm that. I haven't seen that
happen too much here through the first two weeks.
