Zay Jones Jerseys Stitched , Josh Allen making an impact Week 5 of the Buffalo Bills season saw the team locked in a defensive struggle with the Tennessee Titans and
emerging as the victor thanks to forcing several turnovers. Rookie quarterback
Josh Allen continued his struggles from last week, while the Bills defensive
rookies further improved and even made some of biggest plays in the game. More
about the performance of each Bills rookies below.QB Josh AllenOffensive
coordinator Brian Daboll simplified the reads and progressions in the passing
game for his rookie quarterback, more so in this game than in the previous four.
During the first drive of the game, that strategy resulted in quick completions,
kept the chains moving, and led to the team’s only touchdown on an Allen
scramble. When Allen wasn’t put into those situations, like on unfavorable down
and distances, he was much more inconsistent. During those instances, Allen
didn’t trust his eyes or was indecisive in his reads. Other times, particularly
when throwing in the middle of the field
Robert Foster Jersey , the rookie failed to step into his throws resulting in severely under-thrown balls. It wasn’t all bad for the quarterback though, as
his twelve-yard completion to Zay Jones and his attempted pass to Andre Holmes,
both in the fourth quarter, shows a player able to navigate a messy pocket,
recognize favorable coverage and fire a dart.LB Tremaine EdmundsEdmunds set the
tone for the day defensively on the fourth play from scrimmage. Titans
quarterback Marcus Mariota fired a quick pass to Taywan Taylor, who wasn’t able
to tuck the ball away before Edmunds had him in his arms, leading to a fumble
that was recovered by the Bills. Edmunds speed clearly caught the receiver
off-guard, and it’s plays like that got him drafted in the first round. Besides
that play, Edmunds play in coverage continues to impress. His speed when sinking
into coverage is amazing: there were times when it surprised Mariota, leading to
him holding on to the ball longer than expected. Edmunds biggest gaffe came on a
play-action shovel pass to Dion Lewis. The play-action made Edmunds lose his
attention on the running back
Womens Nick O'Leary Jersey , who quickly received the pass and got ten yards. Overall, it was a solid day at the office for the linebacker.DT Harrison
PhillipsPhillips’s time on the field has been on the upswing, and he saw 44% of
the defensive snaps against the Titans. He put that increased time to good use,
especially against the run. The Titans threw several double-teams his way and
Phillips managed to stand his ground on virtually every single one. The few
times the rookie defensive tackle found himself in a pass rush situation he
pushed the lineman into the quarterback, but didn’t really register any hurries.
CB Taron JohnsonThe rookie fourth rounder continues to represent money
well-spent. Johnson’s second quarter interception, when he undercut a quick
slant to Nick Williams, was both athletic and instinctual, just the qualities
you want to have in a slot corner. Bad mistake early in the second quarter when
he failed to recognize a run play and was successfully run out of the play by a
receiver.S Siran Neal Neal didn’t receive any defensive snaps this week, despite
the team being down two safeties. He was a regular member of the punt return
team assigned to rush the punter, but didn’t stand out much in that area.WR
Ray-Ray McCloud IIIMcCloud saw a drop in snaps from last week
http://www.thebillslockerroom.com/authentic-patrick-dimarco-jersey , going from 20 snaps against the Packers to only 13 against the Titans. His only
target during those snaps was on a wide receiver screen pass that gained seven
crucial yards and a first down on the Bills game-winning drive. McCloud was also
used on a fly sweep early in the first quarter that lost three yards due to a
poor block from Logan Thomas. McCloud saw the field as a punt returner, with his
longest punt return coming in at eight yards.WR Robert FosterFoster saw a severe
drop in snaps since the Packers game, with only eight on the day. The rookie
undrafted free agent was not targeted. P Corey BojorquezThe oddest moment of the
game came on a field goal attempt when Bojorquez was holding for Stephen
Hauschka. The rookie received the snap and inexplicably began to stand up, as if
it was a fake attempt, panicked, threw an incomplete pass and injured his
shoulder. He claimed after the game that it was a “miscommunication” that led to
his mistake. Otherwise he had an average day punting the ball, with one of his
punts ending up downed inside the five-yard line.Notes - Rookie guards Wyatt

Buffalo Bills be interested in Dee Ford?Despite a 6-10 record, the Buffalo Bills
finished as the No. 2 defense in the NFL last year in total defense (yards
allowed per game), the team’s first top-five finish since the 2014 season. One
area where the Bills and defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier could improve in
2019 is the pass rush. Buffalo finished 26th in the NFL in sacks last year with
36—16 sacks behind league-leaders Kansas City and Pittsburgh. Jerry Hughes was
one of the highest-rated pressure ends in the league according to Pro Football
Focus
Stephen Hauschka Jersey , and finished with a team-high seven sacks and a career-high three forced fumbles. As the start of free agency looms next week,
the Bills could certainly use help with their pass rush, and on Saturday, ESPN’s
Dan Graziano speculated that he “wouldn’t be shocked if they moved one of their
edge guys and also brought in a new one, like Dee Ford or someone like
that.”It’s interesting to hear Graziano link the Bills with Ford, a premier pass
rusher from the league’s best pass-rushing unit in 2018, the Kansas City Chiefs.
Ford, who had the franchise tag slapped on him Monday by the Chiefs, is due to
make around $15.4 million under the franchise tag in 2019. The Bills would need
to trade with the Chiefs to acquire Ford, who registered 13 sacks (tied for
seventh in the NFL) to go with a league-best seven forced fumbles.On
Tuesday
Womens Jordan Poyer Jersey , reports surfaced that Kansas City would be willing to part with Ford for a second-round draft pick. Buffalo holds onto pick
No. 41, the ninth pick in the second round of April’s draft. Since the Chiefs
applied the franchise tag to Ford, Kansas City has until July 15 to sign its
talented and desirable pass rusher to a long-term deal. The Ford rumor isn’t the
first time Buffalo has been associated with a talented free agent defensive end,
as on Friday, the team was falsely linked to former Seattle Seahawks’ star pass
rusher Frank Clark.Graziano’s tweet seems to imply a move for Ford would be
predicated on the Bills trading one of their edge rushers currently on the
roster: Hughes and defensive end Shaq Lawson would fit the bill. Graziano also
mentioned Buffalo’s interest in adding a free-agent wide receiver, which given
the question marks at the position and the Bills’ recent pursuit of a trade for
Antonio Brown should come as no surprise to Buffalo fans.
