26CornerBlitz Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 10-5: Bills' DC Leslie Frazier on WGR (9:56) #Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier joins Howard and Jeremy right now on WGR! Frazier on Tremaine Edmunds - He has tremendous growth from Game 1 to Game 4. His command of the defense, his playmaking and tackling has gotten better. With his improvement, our defense has improved. #Bills Frazier on Siran Neal - He's played multiple positions before, but now we want to put him just at one position (safety) and let him grow more. He's shown he has playmaking abilities. #Bills Frazier - You try to come up with ways to slow down these really good offenses and try to help us win football games. One way we can do that this week is by taking the football away from the opposing offense. #Bills Frazier on Tre'Davious White - He's doing a terrific job for us. Without him, it'd be really tough on us. He matches up with the best receivers, which is not an easy job, but he's been doing great for us. He'll step up again for us. #Bills Frazier - We've asked a lot from Ryan Lewis and the other corners that are new to us and our system. We'll try to put the best guy out there each Sunday. #Bills Frazier on facing Marcus Mariota - He's a fantastic player. He can put a lot of pressure on your defense with his legs. He's confident and wants the football in clutch positions. No question he's the leader of that offense. #Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 7 things to watch in Bills-Titans this weekend It’s back home for the Bills this weekend for the first time in three weeks. And it’s the red-hot Tennessee Titans coming to town, winners of three in a row. Here are some of the issues to keep an eye on this weekend as the Bills head into the second quarter of the season: 1. A VOTE FOR CULTURE FROM THIS FORMER NFL HEAD COACH 2. ANOTHER STEP FORWARD FOR JOSH ALLEN 3. WHERE’S THE REAL MCCOY? 4. BIG PLAYS AT A PREMIUM 5. YOUNG GUNS EMERGING ON DEFENSE 6. NEAL UP NEXT? 7. BIG GAME HISTORY BETWEEN TWO ORIGINAL AFL TEAMS Titans’ Creative Defense Will Baffle Josh Allen and Bills by James Dudko Josh Allen’s is getting a degree in how to read complex defenses at the pro level. He’ll need extra study to decipher the Tennessee Titans’ creative D’ in Week 5. Allen has faced a roll call of some of the most intimidating units in the NFL so far. The Buffalo Bills rookie quarterback took his first snaps against the intimidating Baltimore Ravens in Week 1. He suffered five sacks and threw two picks the next week against the Los Angeles Chargers. Week 3’s upset of the supposedly stingy Minnesota Vikings now looks like the first hint of how the NFC North giants may not merit the Super Bowl contenders tag. Things were tougher last week as Allen and the Bills O’ were shutout against the Green Bay Packers. There is a silver lining for Allen after taking seven sacks and tossing two interceptions at Lambeau Field. Playing the Pack is useful preparation for facing a Titans unit also based on moving parts, sophisticated pressure and disguised coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 NASHVILLE, Tenn. – One quarter of the way through his first NFL season is far too early to make any sweeping judgments on Titans head coach Mike Vrabel. We’ve yet to see how he deals with a losing streak, how he guides his team in high-stakes contests. But we can say this about Vrabel after just four games: He’s made quite a first impression. There’s no getting around the fact the Titans — ravaged by injuries in the early portion of the season — have stunned the NFL by winning three of their first four games, knocking off the defending AFC runners-up and the defending Super Bowl champs in back-to-back weeks. So just how has Vrabel done it? We can talk about his pedigree as someone who’s played for Bill Belichick and coached under Urban Meyer. We can talk about his cojones, which were on display during a successfully executed overtime fourth-down against Philadelphia. We can talk about his energy level, which fueled an excited sprint to the tunnel — so that he could congratulate his players — after the win over the Jaguars.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 The Buffalo Bills play host to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday in yet another matchup that looks daunting for Buffalo. Of the Bills’ first five opponents, only the Minnesota Vikings (2-2) are not above .500 currently. If the Bills are going to pull off an upset victory this Sunday, they will need to control Tennessee’s key players throughout the matchup, something they were unable to do last week when the Green Bay Packers dismantled them at Lambeau Field. The Titans have a solid young core of skill players that will present unique challenges for the Bills’ defense. Here are the five Titans players we’ll be watching this weekend.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 The Bills have to figure out a way to get their running game going because it has been non-existent during the 1-3 start. The Bills are averaging just 88.3 yards, 24th in the league, and even that’s a bit dubious because their leading rusher is rookie quarterback Josh Allen with 110 yards, who has been running for his life. Browns' charm, Bears' nastiness among early surprises of 2018 By Dan Hanzus The Titans are an AFC power If you don't jump on the Titansbandwagon now, it's probably not going to happen. Over the past two weeks, the Titans took out the Super Bowl-champion Eagles and AFC finalist Jaguars. They've done it with opportunistic offense and a defense that ranks amongst the NFL's best in several metrics. Tennessee's been especially stingy in the red zone, allowing a touchdown rate of 20 percent. If the Titans sustain that mark, it will be the lowest red-zone touchdown percentage allowed in a full season since at least 2000. Are the Titans for real? Inconclusive. Marcus Mariota is coming off his best game of the season, but he's been banged up -- a recurring theme throughout his career. The running game is off to a slow start: Derrick Henry and Dion Lewis are at 3.0 and 3.3 yards per carry, respectively. The defense could also be due for a regression to the mean in red-zone D -- that would be problematic for a team that has a combined nine-point margin of victory in its first three wins.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 NASHVILLE, Tenn. — With a nine-catch, 161-yard day Sunday against Philadelphia, Corey Davis announced himself to the NFL world. It was only fitting that the Titans’ second-year receiver came down with the game-winning catch in overtime. While it was a production breakout, the reality is Davis had been steadily consistent throughout September — a stretch in which the injury-depleted offense was often freelancing to get through the month. Davis had accounted for about 30 percent of the Titans’ targets and receptions as it worked through the offensive injuries, including Marcus Mariota’s nerve issue. But the Eagles game took Davis to new heights, so we thought we’d take a look at his 15 targets in the OT thriller. Before breaking down each look, here are a couple of general trends from the game that stood out: Surprisingly, Davis did not have a single official target in Eagles territory until the overtime period. (I say official because he drew an important pass interference on Jalen Mills near the Philadelphia goal line in the third quarter.) Of Davis’ 15 targets, 10 came between Tennessee’s own 18- and 36-yard-lines. That suggests that Davis was often called upon to flip the field and get the Titans out of precarious spots.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Previewing Every Sunday Game in NFL Week 5 By ANDY BENOIT TITANS AT BILLS Even with offensive tackles Taylor Lewan and Jack Conklin both healthy for the first time all year, the Titans last week did not attempt to run the ball against a formidable Eagles front. Instead, first-year play-caller Matt LaFleur went with a lot of play-action. The designs were sharp, even if they didn’t lead to many points early on. Expect more of that this week. The Bills aren’t as stingy in run D as the Eagles, but, like the Eagles, they play a lot of zone. Play-action offenses prefer that; zone defenders have a better view of the ball and can be more reactive to its fakes. Rookie linebacker Tremaine Edmunds has been especially vulnerable at times this year. LaFleur will undoubtedly make the 20-year-old process information. From the other side: Six things to watch in Titans vs Bills game on Sunday NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Titans face the Buffalo Bills on Sunday at New Era Field. Here’s a look at six things to watch: Mariota Momentum Corey Davis Confidence Pressure the Rookie QB Harold Landry's Impact Run Game Vrabel’s Aggressiveness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 The Buffalo Bills (1-3) will be back on the New Era Field turf to take on the visiting Tennesse Titans (3-1) on Sunday. After a depressing loss in Green Bay, it’ll be a good opportunity to give the home crowd reason to believe in the growth of this team. One area that wasn’t a problem versus the Packers was the defense, and this time they have a more favorable matchup on the horizon. Tennessee’s offense is ranked 28th in the league in points per game (18.8) and 26th in total yards (312.2). Despite the low rankings, this is a group that has some dangerous weapons.
