Tremaine Edmunds' Advice for Josh Allen in First NFL Start and 7 More Bills on Allen

 

After going through his first NFL start, Edmunds had some words of wisdom for his teammate and fellow rookie Allen ahead of the Bills' home opener against the Los Angeles Chargers.

 

"I'd just say be relaxed but not too relaxed," Edmunds said. "Don't try to think you gotta do something more than just your job. I got extremely big confidence in Josh and this whole football team. He'll be fine. ... I know he's going to do everything he can to do his job. It's going to be a good experience for him as well as well as everyone else that's out there playing, his family is going to feel good about it as well. He'll be ready for it."

 

NYUP.com checked in with a few more of Allen's teammates and here is what they had to say about their new starting quarterback.

 

LeSean McCoy (RB)

Kelvin Benjamin (WR)

Nathan Peterman (QB)

Harrison Phillips (DT)

Zay Jones (WR)

Traon Johnson (CB)

John Miller (RG)

"He's a natural-born leader. He's a talented young guy and he takes control in the huddle. He's sharp and at the end of the day we're all going to rally behind him and give that level of support."

 

Starting with you John.....you need to raise your level.

 

Look out blocks should be considered "support". :lol:

Lmao, you want to cite the teams as an excuse as why they were 3-6 and ignore they only beat TWO teams all year that had a WINNING record, Bills and Cowboys, and they didn’t even get the best Bills team, they faced Nate Pickerman, so really they beat ONE team with a winning record cuz a Peterman led team would have won 1 game at most.  And that other team was Dallas who was also missing Zeke.  

 

They had a super soft schedule second half beating teams like Peterman led Bills, Browns, etc.

 

But keep elevating them above what they really were so you can keep selling your hatred of TT all you want, but they were VERY beatable

47-3. 9 for 18, 56 yards. I don't hate Tyrod. You can search my posts and you will not find any reflexive TT hatred.

Three Matchups to Watch on Offense: Bills vs. Chargers

 

 
The Buffalo Bills are going to face off against the Los Angeles Chargers at the New Era Field this Sunday, their second contest of the 2018 season. After laying a giant egg versus Baltimore last week, it’s going to be crucial to see the way the team rebounds in front of the home crowd. With that in mind, how will the Bills’ offense fare against the Chargers’ defense? Here are my three matchups to pay close attention to:
 
Bills OL vs. Chargers DL
WR Zay Jones vs. CB Casey Hayward
OC Brian Daboll vs. DC Gus Bradley
 
Rookie QB Josh Allen makes his starting debut as the Bills gear up for their Home Opener against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 2 of the 2018 Season.

There’s always a bunch of games, within the game.

With that, here are five key matchups to watch for during Chargers vs. Bills on Sunday:
 
Tre’Davious White vs. Keenan Allen:

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — What seems natural when it comes to attacking an inexperienced quarterback is to send pressure, pressure, pressure.

 

But that’s not best.

 

Confusion is a far bigger weapon.

 

“Young guys have no idea,” three-time Super Bowl winning defensive coordinator Richie Petitbon said. “They are just trying to remember the snap count.”

 

Buffalo Bills rookie Josh Allen will make his first NFL start Sunday at New Era Field. You better believe Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator Gus Bradley will test Allen’s capacity to handle chaos and mystery.

 

“There’s so much going on in a rookie’s head,” said Jim Bates, an NFL defensive coach for two decades. “How much has he grasped in minicamps and training camp?

 

Since the NFL last expanded and realigned its divisions, rookie quarterbacks making their first starts within the opening month are 15-22 with a 72.2 passer rating.
 
Their average stat line is 18 of 31 for 203 yards and one touchdown with one interception and two sacks.

McDermott: "Leadership is Important" (6:25)

Bills HC Sean McDermott spoke to the media about the team's upcoming game against the LA Chargers and creating a home field advantage at New Era Field.

 

Quick Hits: Healthy dialogue between Daboll and Allen

 

This is a big week for Josh Allen as he prepares to make his first NFL start on Sunday against the Chargers. The dialogue between he and offensive coordinator Brian Daboll is key in deciding what ultimately ends up on Daboll’s call sheet for the game.

 
Head coach Sean McDermott likes what he’s witnessed from Daboll and Allen as they’ve worked through the week.
 
“That communication is huge,” McDermott said. “One quarterback may be slightly different than another. Anytime you put together a game plan you’re looking at who you have and you’re also looking at who they have, matchup-wise, youth in this case with respect to Josh knowing what he can and can’t handle to this point and the overall balance of the game plan are things we always look at week to week.”
 
Leaning on leadership Coming off a humbling defeat is never easy, but coach McDermott has relied on his player leadership council to help him refocus the team on this week so there is no hangover effect from Week 1.
