26CornerBlitz Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (WBEN/AP-John Wawrow) — Don’t count out LeSean McCoy just yet. Though the Bills running back missed practice Wednesday to nurse a sore left hamstring, McCoy told The Associated Press there’s a chance he’ll play in Buffalo’s home game against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. “I want to try to get in a couple of good games before it’s over,” McCoy said, before leaving the locker room. McCoy winked as he said that in a clear reference acknowledging he’s running out of time to make any semblance of an impact in what could become the worst season in his 10-year career. He’s topped 100 yards rushing just once, scored twice and managed just 479 yards rushing. That’s 258 yards shy of his career low in 2009, when he had just four starts in 16 games during his rookie season in Philadelphia. McCoy’s playing status against the Lions is cloudy for various reasons. For one, he’s injured. McCoy had just 1 yard on two carries and also dropped a pass in playing nine snaps before being sidelined in a 27-23 loss to the New York Jets on Sunday. With Buffalo (4-9) out of playoff contention, the Bills are also focused on evaluating their youth over their final three games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 Bills Today: Keith Ford - This is Only the Beginning Brian Daboll and Matt Patricia: Old Friends Prepare to Match Wits Again on Sunday The resume’ practically glowed in the pile of prospective candidates for the entry level offensive assistant position with the New England Patriots. Patriots wide receivers coach Brian Daboll was tasked with weeding through the voluminous pool of candidates for the job opening back in 2004. He couldn’t help but notice the bright orange resume’. “His resume’ was this big orange Syracuse paper,” said Daboll. “It was ridiculous, but effective.” “He’s absolutely right,” said Lions head coach Matt Patricia. “I totally did that on purpose. I knew it would be different than everybody else’s. I was coaching at Syracuse University, so I’m glad that it did (stand out). It was bound and had different examples of reports in there and drawings, diagrams. I remember it exactly. We joke about it and laugh about it all the time.” Daboll would call Patricia, who came in for an interview and ultimately landed the position. It began a 15-year coaching bond that still exists between the two ex-Pats today. O’HARA’S SCOUTING REPORT: Buffalo Bills Mike OHara - COLUMNIST It doesn’t lessen the pain for the Buffalo Bills and their legion of loyal fans that the step they’ve taken backward this year was predictable after last season’s leap forward. Retooling can throw a wrench into expectations, and that’s happening to the Bills after a magical 2017 season under first-year head coach Sean McDermott. They ended a 17-year postseason drought by making the AFC playoffs as a wild card with a 9-7 won-loss record. They’re 4-9 and out of playoff contention going into Sunday’s home game against the Detroit Lions, who’ve also taken a step back after a 9-7 record that was not good enough to make the NFC playoffs. A roster overhaul was planned under McDermott and general manager Brandon Beane regardless of last year’s record that revived the fan base. “It was just amazing to see how it brought a lot of energy to our city and fan base,” McDermott said of the 2017 season in a conference-call interview with the Detroit media. “That was probably a once-in-a-lifetime basis, in terms of breaking a streak.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) Damon Harrison Rejuvenating the Detroit Lions Run Defense Ever since Damon “Snacks” Harrison arrived in Detroit, his impact has been felt. Before the Detroit Lions traded for Harrison from the New York Giants on October 24th, 2018, the Lions had one of the worst run defenses in the league. They were ranked 26th against the run and allowed a league-worst, 5.3 yards per carry. Since the trade, the Lions have been one of the best run defenses in the league. Over the last three weeks, the Detroit Lions have allowed an average of 49.3 yards rushing; they had been allowing an average of 142.5 yards rushing over the first nine games of the season. Playing in five games since the trade, Snacks has totaled 22 tackles, three tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks. The sample size is small, but his impact has been huge. What are some things that he’s doing that the Lions didn’t have before? For starters, he’s a massive human. He stands 6’3 and weighs 353 pounds, so you can’t miss number 98 when he’s on the field. Plug the Gap More often than not, Damon Harrison is going to plug the A-gap. It doesn’t matter which one it is; all that matters is that he plugs it and stops anything and everything. Whether it was with the New York Jets, the New York Giants, or Detroit, that role will always be first and foremost for him. He’s a prototypical nose tackle, and putting him in one-on-one situations against a center is normally ideal. However, one-on-one situations don’t always happen. On the play above, Harrison is aligned in a 0-technique, and it quickly turns into a double team. He does a great job holding his ground, and once the left guard starts to lets up, chips off and attacks the linebacker, Harrison fights his way back inside. He does a great job with his right hand to get underneath the center and steer him. Lastly, he uses his left hand to help push-pull his way into the rushing lane of the running back.

I would be interested in what percentage of his successful plays vs. the blitz went to Landry or Njoku, two of the best in reading their hot routes.

26CornerBlitz Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 The Buffalo Bills are preparing to take on the Detroit Lions this coming weekend, though rookie quarterback Josh Allen has come under fire from some national pundits that have had some staunchly negative reviews of his first eight starts. Joe Buscaglia and Matthew Fairburn discuss this, and broader points about the quarterback position as to how to truly gauge players as they go through their careers. That, plus a quick Bills-Lions preview with predictions. In this week's episode, Sal Maiorana and Leo Roth share some thoughts on LeSean McCoy's future with the Bills, Tremaine Edmunds taking over leadership of the defense, and Josh Allen's continued baptism under fire.

26CornerBlitz Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 NFLPickwatch - Every Pick from Every NFL Expert Elliot Harrison - NFL.com: Buffalo Bills 20, Detroit Lions 16 1 p.m. ET (FOX) | New Era Field (Orchard Park, N.Y.) Oh, boy. You want to write this blurb? This looks like a tough watch for anyone who's not a Lions or Billsfan -- I'm not sure even the members of those fan bases want to read the following. Detroit rode its defense to a win last week. Now that's a surprising sentence if you've followed this team through the years. Actually, though, that side of the ball has performed better than the offense overall this season. Offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter is under fire in Detroit, as the Lions have limped to 20.8 points per game, 25th in the league. (Don't forget that part of their scintillating point total of 17 in Arizona was delivered by cornerback Darius Slay on a pick-six.) The Bills' defense has been a strong point for much of the year, often left on the field by an offense that is even worse than Detroit's. Sean McDermott's fellas feast off turnovers and sacks -- though unlike in 2017, Buffalo's defense hasn't manufactured enough to compensate for the sluggish offense. Think the Bills will force two to three giveaways from Matthew Stafford this week and pull to 5-9.

Not sure why you’re telling Jesus about Anderson. I thought it was ‘His Will’.. Anyway, I personally don’t think the concussion is legit. He wasn’t hit that hard & being in a League Protocal this long would warrant the finest brain injury surgeons on the planet to caucus. I have no inside info, it just stinks of fraud. I think he signed to mentor Josh in the meetings & practice, as his days are done. The injury forced him to play. The alternative?

26CornerBlitz Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) O'HARA'S WEEK 15 CHECKLIST: Lions at Bills If any team should have a book on this year’s draft class of first-round quarterbacks, it’s the Detroit Lions. They’ll add Chapter 4 to their first-hand look at all four quarterbacks drafted in the top 10 when they face Josh Allen in Sunday’s road game against the Buffalo Bills. Previously they faced first overall pick Baker Mayfield of Cleveland in the final preseason game; third overall pick Sam Darnold of the Jets in the regular-season opener (a 48-17 loss) and 10th pick Josh Rosen in last week’s 17-3 road win over the Cardinals. Like the other rookie quarterbacks, Allen has his own physical assets that present special problems.
