The New England Patriots travel to Buffalo for Monday night for a primetime showdown against the Buffalo Bills. Brady enters Monday night’s
game with a 28-3 career record against the Bills according to Pro Football
Reference
Jalen Reeves-Maybin Jersey White , with a touchdown to interception ration of 68:22. The Patriots started the season 1-2, including a primetime
pummeling at the hands of the Lions, but have since turned it around to enter
this game at 5-2. They look to extend their hot streak and it shouldn’t be a
challenge given the current situation of the Bills. The defense has been stellar
under head coach Sean McDermott, but the offense continues to search for
answers. Bills first-round pick Josh Allen has both struggled and dealt with
injuries. In his absence, backup Nathan Peterman has been as incompetent as
everyone assumed he was after his 5-interception first half in his lone start
from last season. That has forced the team to resort to journeyman and longtime
backup quarterback Derek Anderson, who looks to give the Bills offense some
semblance of direction and leadership to salvage their season. Do the Bills have
a chance? How many points will the Pats offense put up against a tough Bills
defense? Will said defense be enough to keep Buffalo afloat? Let us know your
thoughts in the comments. The Detroit Lions have been hurting at the cornerback
position for a while now and should be focused on improving the unit

names for the Lions to consider in the NFL Draft that fit Patricia’s heavy
man-coverage scheme. One name that will be very high on the Lions’ board and one
that can contribute immediately is Penn State cornerback, Amani Oruwariye.Amani

Barry Sanders Jersey , Oruwariye received a multitude of offers from Power-5 schools, but nothing from the big schools in his home state. He would go
on to enroll with the Nittany Lions after flipping from his commitment to
Vanderbilt and graduated in December 2018 with a degree in broadcast
journalism.StrengthsGreat length with desired size, fluidity and athleticism for
the position. Mirrors well and is very sticky in man-coverage. High IQ in zone;
trusts instincts in zone is quick to make plays on the ball.Never flat-footed in
coverage; feet are extremely quick and always moving.Closing speed is
spectacular. Plants foot into the ground and closes in an instant in off-man.
Also can recover quickly after getting beat early.Physical at the top of routes
and at the catch point; able to disrupt routes often. Very good ball skills and
has made some highlight reel INTs.Technique in press is raw, but does a nice job
of stymieing WRs when he does manage to get his hands on receivers
early.WeaknessesTackling form needs a ton of work. Rarely wraps up and lowers
head too often in run support. Is physical, but doesn’t stack and shed well
enough.Occasionally prone to taking some wasted steps and giving too much room
at the top of stems and on in-breaking routes. Could use some extra work on
technique in press-man.Had some down moments during Senior Bowl week which may
have some scrambling to go back to the tape. Struggled finding the ball and was
beat on more than a few occasions.Games watched: 2017 vs. Michigan, 2018 vs.

50 percent of the time last year (fifth-most), compared to around 30 percent of
the time in 2017. That’s a pretty huge difference, but not a surprise as
Patricia’s defenses have been notorious for their heavy use of man-coverage
looks. This didn’t exactly match up with the strengths of some players in the
Lions’ secondary, and you saw plenty of struggles throughout the year. If the
front office decides to draft a cornerback early in the draft, then you can
expect them to have players with man-coverage experience higher on their board
than others. Some key traits to look for here are physicality, fluidity (can
they transition smoothly?)
Womens Golden Tate III Jersey , enough speed to not get burned (4.55 speed or better is a good benchmark) and the ability to mirror WRs and stick to them
like glue. Most of these traits are not something that you can teach. You either
have it or you don’t. Amani Oruwariye has all of these.Oruwariye should be high
on the Lions board, and if he somehow manages to make it to their second round
pick, I’m not sure there are many, if any prospects that I’m going to consider
over him, as I believe he is a perfect fit for Patricia’s defense and one that
can step in on Day 1 as a starter.
