    Cover 1's Erik Turner Breaks Down Bills vs. Ravens for The Athletic:

     

    Bills Film Room: Scouting the Week 1 Matchup with the Ravens...

     

    The Bills’ 2018 season kicks off this weekend against the Baltimore Ravens – the team they faced to open their 2016 campaign – and this matchup is setting up to be a similar dogfight. In that game, the Ravens squeaked out a win at home 13-7.

     

    Starting quarterback Tyrod Taylor was under pressure on 44.4% of his dropbacks and was ultimately sacked two times. Taylor finished 15 for 22 for 11 yards and zero touchdowns. LeSean McCoy only racked up 58 yards on 16 carries and crossed the goal line one time as the Ravens simply manhandled the Bills offense and had just enough offensive output to pull out the win.

     

    This matchup at M&T Bank Field will likely unfold in a similar manner. The Bills announced Nathan Peterman as the starter for the game and he flat out earned the gig this preseason, finishing 33/41 for 431 yards and three touchdowns. Peterman saw the field rather well, identified coverages quickly and got the ball out of his hand. In fact, per Pro Football Focus (PFF) from snap to attempt, Peterman got the ball out in 2.29 seconds, which tied him with Patriots QB Tom Brady.

     

    Getting the ball out quickly will likely be a common theme this season seeing as most fans expect the Bills offensive line to be one of the worst. If the Bills have any shot at putting drives together and points on the board, they will have to rely on Peterman’s pre to post snap processing along with his quick trigger.

    Peterman has a chance to be excellent this year. Most in the media do not understand that. He could suck or he could be average of course. I really wish he played against the Bengals and browns starting DL, we would know a lot more about him

    From Tim Graham at The Athletic:

    Brandon Beane Q&A: Bills GM talks QB plans, O-line state, AJ...

     

    ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Soaked in sweat, Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane plopped down in the passenger seat of a John Deere cart inside the team’s practice facility.
     
    He just had been running wind sprints with assistant GM Joe Schoen under the sweltering sun.
     
    “Another three minutes,” Beane said, “and he would have my job.
     
    “I know what he was up to.”
     
    The workout was a break compared the rest of his Labor Day weekend. NFL clubs had to whack their rosters to 53 players by 4 p.m. Saturday. Beane haggled with the Oakland Raiders, trading quarterback AJ McCarron and exploring the stakes for pass-rusher Khalil Mack. He swapped out punters and, by the way, hashed out with coach Sean McDermott how to proceed at the game’s most important position.
     
    The Bills on Monday morning named Nathan Peterman the starter ahead of seventh overall draft choice Josh Allen.
     
    In an interview with The Athletic, Beane reviewed his weekend.
     
    He shared background on the McCarron trade, plans for the QB depth chart, thoughts on the upsetting offensive line, what went into the decision to cut former first-round pick Corey Coleman after acquiring him from the Cleveland Browns and why the Bills couldn’t bring Mack back to Buffalo.

    What did Beane say about our oline problems, for those of you with access?

    It is much easier to GROW UP when you are no longer in the shadow of parents and older siblings.

     

    Personally, I do not want a LB on our team that would need his big brother here to help him feel secure...

    Yeah sorry this is not a fact either way. It depends on the player and the system. Sometimes it can help in growth and development and sometimes it can hinder it. Considering their dad played NFL and three of his sons are NFL players I would be willing to take a flyer.

    I would feel a whole lot better about Foster if I would see him lay out for a slightly overthrown ball.......

    He doesn't high point balls from what I have seen. I have no idea if that can be taught, I doubt it this late in a career, but if it can he turns into an excellent receiver.

    If he had Fitzy's arm, which is weak, he could be Fitz. But it's weaker than Fitz. That's his problem. Fitz could wind up and get it there sometimes. Nate unfortunately can't. 

     

    It sucks because if he did have slightly better arm strength he could be pretty good. 

    His arm looked a lot better this preseason, still not josh Allen and still is a problem on throws to the sidelines, but I think it has improved quite a bit over the last year.

    Seriously?    In case you missed it, a bunch of AJM's challenges in Game 4 were handling low, high, and slow shotgun snaps.

    Now the Bills may have felt he had potential and was worth developing on PS, but a spot on the 53?  Eyebrows raised at Belicheck.

     

    Yes but Groy can play center and Bodine is a waste of a roster spot, he was terrible in the PS.

    Logan Thomas.

    I hope not, he looks close to breaking out, but it's hard to cut the other guys to

    So you think they'd just cut him, throwing away $7 million for the sake of one roster spot?

    Yeah don't see it happening either, but I do think he is a trade candidate maybe a 3rd or 4th rounder.
