I am really curious about our DL rotation. Von is working his way back, but Epenesa and Rousseau need to get more snaps at the expense of the likes of Floyd and Lawson. I know we lost Daquan, but Phillips is hot garbage to begin with before even the dumb decisions. I think it's affecting Oliver's play as well. Before the trade deadline can Beane & Co. see if there is a 1T available for a reasonable price that can clog the middle. Tired of mediocre RB's gashing us for first downs. Mixon is not a mediocre running back.

The penalty pushed them back so far that the onside kick would have put Buffalo in easy FG range.

Jim and Pat said today, that Suh will pick where he wants to play. Already has 2 rings doing that.

Shakir with an angry run there

Would be nice if Phillips and Settle decided to up their game tonight. Wirfs is going to give our DE's a tussle

Jets game - Josh 3 picks and a fumbled snap. Jags game - Defense gashed by Etienne after losing Jones and Milano on the lousy field surface Patriots game - McDermott's defense let the #25 ranked offense drive the length of the field for a TD in 1:46 of clock time.

Let someone else pay Gabe Morse is older than the top 10 centers not named Kelce. Not sure what Bates' contract status is, think we need to use him or sayonara Agree on DT, and Ed O. is a smallish interior DL, already beat up after 6 games Have we given up on AJE at DE? Again Hyde and Poyer are the 5th and 6th oldest safeties in the league and are no longer top of the class Def need one or two better LB's; shudder if we have to play Klein for more than a snap or two. State of O-line play coming out of college is abysmal, and the Teller fiasco says front office doesn't have a clue what good is. Glad we have so much draft capital, hope Beane and Co use it wisely.

I think the O-Line we had for the K-Gun was much better than we have today. LT Will Wolford LG Jim Ritcher C Kent Hull RG John Davis RT Howard Ballard We don't have anyone who can force the defense to keep a safety deep like they had to for Beebe. Thurman was also a complete back, run, catch, block. Josh's mobility has been clamped down by the current regime.

You are correct. I was in HS, and remember the big buzz about this amazing kicker from Cornell who was a soccer player. I live in the North Country and apparently he and his family were refugees from Hungary and his father was a medical doctor at the state hospital in Ogdensburg. Since he kicked at Cornell, he might be the first in D-I as well. I did find this tho - https://ampoleagle.com/bednarski-preceded-gogolak-in-soccerstyle-kicking-p8059-208.htm. Apparently Texas had a soccer style kicker in 1957.

Dawkins and McGovern will have to strap it up facing Barrett and Vea. Their SS is not great so Kincaid may be able to operate. They have a sub playing at LDT so hopefully Torrence can handle him and establish the running game. I actually think with Knox hurt, the passing game gets better with the Shakir/Harty/Sherfield committee in the slot.

Unfortunately no. Wonder if he broke it on his "angry run"

Actually his run blocking grade is lower than Kincaid's, but that may be due to (1) injury, (2) having to pick up Spencer's oopsies

Just announced Knox is going to have wrist surgery and will be out indefinitely. Could explain his catch issues.

Masterful is Kelce, 12 catches, 13 targets, 179 yards and a TD. Nice game for the rookie, but still a ways to go.

Suh played last season for $2MM - $750k of that was incentives, e.g. snaps played, play in playoff game etc.

I thought the Offensive Pass Interference on Murray was huge. That cost us 4 points, and Bass continuing to have a case of the shanks cost another 3.

Kincaid with a catch over 3 yards! Progress

We need to fix our run defense or we will go nowhere with some of the RB's we are facing.

Refs must have got a memo about pick plays. Wonder if Kelce gets called when he does that?

This is yet another underthrow by Josh for an INT. Is there still lingering arm damage from last week/last year?

looking at the Pats, their strength on D, [if they have one] are the ILB's and Safeties, so that would also suggest that their DL will not get much pressure and their corners will be exposed.

So Juju, Boutte and Cunningham all inactive today, suspect we will see a lot of Gesicki/Henry sets, and Pats will try to pound the rock with Bills missing Jones, Oliver, Milano .

I read somewhere that on obvious passing third downs they might move Rousseau inside and have Von and AJE on the edges

Cook is 45 of 48 RB's with a pass block grade of 16.5, However McCaffrey isn't much better at 23.2. Achane - the top rated running back has zero pass block snaps. Murray is the Bill's top ranked RB so far with solid grades in every phase of the game.

Ed has picked up $79K in fines [5 infractions] do we need to worry when he comes back that the zebra's will be watching his every action?
