Josh Allen Looks To Keep It Rolling in Bills-Vikings Showdown

Really a big game tonight between the Buffalo Bills and the Minnesota Vikings there in the Twin Cities. And really, I don't know what to expect from that Minnesota Vikings offense, but I do know what to expect from that Minnesota Vikings defense with Brian Flores. And this is really going to come down to Josh Allen versus Brian Flores. Jacob Cammerker from USA Today is here with us. Who you got in that one? If you had to pick Josh Allen versus Brian Flores' defense, who you going with? Yeah, so I'm almost always in the trust Brian Flores defense camp because he's given us no reason to not believe it. But. This is the type of matchup that I think can stress this defense, because the thing that Minnesota does better than any other defense in the league is they generate pressure with exotic blitzes. You know they walk up so many guys to the line of scrimmage, they keep quarterbacks confused. Josh Allen, because of his size and mobility and arm strength, he is equipped to deal with that pressure, uniquely so, escape from it and still make big downfield plays against the The man coverage of the Flores will be running on the back end. I think that this is going to be a situation where the Vikings are going to give up more big plays in this game than any other this season just because Allen has the skill set needed to stress that defense. And I don't trust Minnesota's offense to score enough in this game that if it turns into even a mini shootout, even if the Bills get up to, say, 24 points in this game, I'm just not seeing enough from that Vikings offense to kind of trust them in this one. And I know Carson Wentz is starting in place of Kyler Murray. Maybe that'll unlock a little something in the passing game. I think this might be kind of the coming out party for the Bills where they say, hey, we can take care of this top defense. We have the best offense in the league, and it's going to be on every team in the league to try to either find a way to stop us or beat us in a shootout. You know, I thought you'd be going for Big Red tonight. I don't know why, but I thought maybe you'd be going for Carson Wentz tonight here, the Big Red arm there. So anyway, but hey, do you think that Brian Flores gets another opportunity to become a head football coach? I know there's a pending lawsuit right now with the league on what went on with all that crap down in Miami. The job that he's done in Minnesota has been remarkable, really, the last couple years here. Do you think he gets another opportunity? I think he eventually will. I don't know, obviously, the lawsuit ongoing. I don't know how that's impacting teams' ability to kind of assess him as a candidate. But I think you look at the pool of guys out there. You know you have a couple good retreads available in Mike Tomlin and Sean McDermott if they want to come back and coach this year. But then the crop of coordinators out there, I think you have a case to make that Brian Flores is the best guy out there because you know when you hire him, he will turn your defense into a top-five unit. He has done it at... Every stop he's been at in the NFL. So I think eventually a team maybe with a struggling defense and needing an identity is going to look at him and say, we need to just bring this guy in. We're going to take a chance. We're going to you know hope that he learned from whatever happened in Miami to make things better. But we know he's the best defensive mind in the game. And he's just someone that I would want on my sidelines if I'm an NFL owner. Absolutely. He turned the culture around in South Florida. And again, didn't get credit for turning that culture around. Really one of Bill Belichick's only true assistant coaches that have gone on to really show some type of success, him being up there in New England all them years.
