looking at the Pats, their strength on D, [if they have one] are the ILB's and Safeties, so that would also suggest that their DL will not get much pressure and their corners will be exposed.
So Juju, Boutte and Cunningham all inactive today, suspect we will see a lot of Gesicki/Henry sets, and Pats will try to pound the rock with Bills missing Jones, Oliver, Milano .
Cook is 45 of 48 RB's with a pass block grade of 16.5, However McCaffrey isn't much better at 23.2. Achane - the top rated running back has zero pass block snaps. Murray is the Bill's top ranked RB so far with solid grades in every phase of the game.
Kincaid currently has a higher run blocking grade than Knox. Morris [who will miss the Pats game] is our top graded tight end, although on a limited number of snaps compared to K&K. Wondering if Knox needing to stay close to help Spencer Brown is affecting his measurables?
NFL teams can designate up to eight players to return from IR during the season, and an individual player can be so designated twice.
When a player is cleared to practice, it activates a 21-day window during which the player must be activated to the 53-man roster or be placed on season-ending injured reserve at the conclusion of that three-week period.
Weather looking like high 50's, wet field, windy, should we be worried about Josh's shoulder with 10-20 mph winds forecast. Hopefully Bass will get off the schneid.
There are 10 domes, 8 of them have artificial surface. Cost to retrofit those 8 would be astronomical if you have seen the tech that is used in Arizona. Also Superbowls are normally only awarded to warm weather or cities with domes. Next three are: Vegas [Grass - Dome], New Orleans [Artificial], San Francisco [Grass - yikes - 45 degree night temps in February].
Should we be concerned with Oliver starting to collect PF's. Got fined $30K in week 5, and suspect he will collect another fine for the PF on Sunday night. Pretty soon he gets into Suh or Burfict territory. I've seen on the board, that once you start collecting these, the zebras are extra vigilant.
