I see that he is unlikely to play in this game as he has not yet been activated from the COVID Reserve list. Do the Titans usually use a lot of 21 and 22 personnel? Could the lack of healthy fullback negatively impact their running game, or is that just wishful thinking on my part? He played 41 snaps on offense so far. That's roughly 18% Also that's up significantly from last year when he took only 68 snaps or roughly 7% of the offensive snaps on the season. Over his 6 games last year and 3 this year he hasn't carried the ball once and been targeted with a pass only 6 times. So if's only 6 targets on 109 snaps and he is in the game you can bet hard on he's in there to block on a running play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here it is in detail https://www.sharpfootballstats.com/personnel-grouping-frequency.html 2 RBs 1 TE 16% of time 2 RBs 2 TE 4% of time 1 RB 2 TE 21% of time So Bills will likely need 3 LBs or Big Nickel on field 40%+ of plays.

No, because the last time mcdermott talked to the media was before practice on Wednesday and that was before anyone knew he wouldn’t be at practice. They interviewed some players on Thursday but didn’t ask them. McDermott has not talked to the media since 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blasingame 20% of the offensive snaps vs Jax and 25% of the snaps vs Minn Henry 70-75% of offensive snaps those games So potentially 20-25% of the time? I'd love to have a source for the formations used by teams and how frequently At a guess, Tenn. will be trying some of the formations the Rams used against us with some success, using TE and WR to create gap assignment confusion 39 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: Also if they're symptomatic, they're supposed to have a cardiology exam and a "progressive conditioning program" after they come off, is my understanding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So according to this the Titans love them some 1-1 (47%), 1-2 (21%) but use 2-1 about 14% of the time and 2-2 6%. Overall 2 backs on the field 20% of the time, and if you see that the second back is there to block on a run play because Henry IS their rush offense.

The Rams were certainly an tough win, and in retrospect I think the Raiders were as well. My point was, in the week before facing the Chiefs, it might serve the Bills better to get a tougher win against the Titans than many expect. I think people are expecting a walk-over. While I believe the Bills have a good enough culture to avoid over-confidence, it's natural to relax a bit after a blow out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote In terms of following proper protocols, Robinson admitted that ensuring that everyone is always wearing masks and wearing them properly has been a challenge. "As far as the masks are concerned, it's been a, we've been fairly compliant. To say that we're 100% would be a false statement. There's certainly been some inconsistencies there. I've talked to several other GMs during this time, who have reached out to me and just checked on us and how we're doing and my family, because they know my personal situation. They face some of the same things we've faced with masks. We're constantly reminding players. "That's been one of the more challenging things." Then say this.... Quote "Since the start of this COVID outbreak back in March, we've taken this thing extremely serious," Robinson told reporters. "We say it all the time, but the health and safety of our players and our coaches and our staff and their families, all of that is the most important thing." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think It is new to everyone to have players come off the Covid list the day of the game and playing with zero practice, so no one knows what to assume. Usually if a player doesnt practice he doesn’t play. It’s not so much about whether they felt sick while they were out. Vrabel did say that some were symptomatic but didn’t say who. I truly don’t know what to expect with this game. As usual I’ve played all the scenarios through my head Of the Bills losing, and how it happens. I don’t know how all Of this affected their preparation and I don’t know how many key guys like Tre, Andre Roberts, John Brown etc we will be missing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only game I am iffy about is that Chiefs game and maybe Seahawks, but I firmly believe we can hang with anyone in the NFL and win any game.
