Alphadawg7 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) Week 1 is finally here! Can’t wait for kickoff and here are the things I’m looking at this week and can’t wait to watch! 1 - Obviously, Josh Allen and his development is top of the list. I’m curious though to see how much he runs this week. With better pass pro, weapons, and run game around him, he shouldn’t NEED to run as much, but also coaches said they don’t want to take that part of his game away either. So will be interesting to see how many times they use it as a weapon and how often he has to take off. 2 - WR group. Seeing if John Brown can showcase all that was hyped during camp is going to be fun to see. We didn’t get to see a lot of him in preseason. Will the Cole and Allen connection be as frequent as hyped too? Zay, can he prove on the field that he should be starting over Foster and hold that role down with consistent play. Foster we learned was slowed by a toe injury, so can he battle back over the early weeks this year to challenge for the starting job? Will McKenzie get more than a few gadget plays? RB rotation - This should be a tough week for our run game, Jets front 7 is stout. I’m not expecting a huge day on the ground, but I’m interested in how the snaps are divided up. I have a feeling all 3 RBs will get a decent amount of snaps each. Edmunds - Outside of Allen, Edmunds is my next guy I’m most excited to see this year. Can’t wait to see him in a live game with a year under his belt as he leads this talented D. And they got a tough test with Bell this week, so looking forward to seeing him anchor this front 7 this week. Oliver - Can’t wait to see if he can come out fast in his first game and be problem for this Jets OL. If this kid has a strong rookie campaign, our our D is gonna be legit.

buffalo2218 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Pretty tall task to contain Bell and get pressure on Darnold. I'm no fan of the bend but don't break scheme at all, I'll pray to whatever god will listen that we apply pressure to Darnold consistently 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time they played Darnold, they didn't bring the pressure and they paid for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really went out on a limb with our last 3 first rounders, 2 biggest free agent signings and our most controversial offseason move 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, don’t even follow that logic. I was just giving you a ribbing that your list was pretty obvious. Normally people don’t wait out the whole offseason to post an hour before kickoff that they are excited to see the 5 things every national writer would have on their cliche bills things to watch list. I was just expecting bolder things from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
