26CornerBlitz Posted September 12, 2018 Author Posted September 12, 2018 Hello Trent Murphy! Bolts Need Sam Tevi to Step Up in a Hurry Head Coach Anthony Lynn announced on Monday what was obvious to anyone who caught the season opener – Sam Tevi is set to take over for the time being at right tackle after Joe Barksdale was carted off the field in the first quarter with a knee injury. "As of right now, Sam is the starting right tackle," he said. “Sam has been the swing tackle since day one of training camp. We knew that if someone went down that he would step in at left tackle or right tackle. That's what we're going to do.”

26CornerBlitz Posted September 12, 2018 Author Posted September 12, 2018 Bills switch to rookie QB Allen, 'is the right move' ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott on Wednesday named rookie Josh Allen as the starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers, repeating several times that he believed it was the "right move for our team" but declining to explain further. "I don't feel a need, honestly, to elaborate," McDermott said about the decision to replace Week 1 starter Nathan Peterman following a 47-3 road loss to the Baltimore Ravens. "We talk a lot in-house about decisions and things and what we got to do, and the right move at the right time. Right now -- with all respect to your question -- this is the right move for us. "With all due respect to the questions, I get it. There's some things that I can share, but there's some things that need to stay where they need to stay. I'm respecting where you guys are, and you need to respect where we are on this as well." "[Allen] is prepared. He will be prepared. I don't think he's prepared yet -- it's a natural progression during a week -- but he'll be prepared," McDermott said. "At the end of the day, he's a young player. We keep that all in mind, manage expectations, and know that we embrace that growth mindset that there's going to be some challenges, some adversity, and you keep learning as you go and you embrace that." Allen's athleticism and ability to make intermediate throws were plus-factors, and the staff believes those things will improve the running game, sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen. Buffalo finished with 83 rushing yards, including 22 yards on seven carries by LeSean McCoy.

TigerJ Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 4 hours ago, DuckyBoys said: Defense will do a lot better They had some stops early against the ravens but the offense just went three and out plus there was the stupid penalty during a punt. Then it all got out of hand The offense could help the defense out a little to by cutting down on 3 and outs. The other team having the ball for an entire game tends to wear the defense down, while the other team's offense gets more energized.
26CornerBlitz Posted September 13, 2018 Author Posted September 13, 2018 (edited) Chargers not altering game plan on defense facing rookie QB COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles Chargers face a familiar scenario for the second straight game, preparing for an athletic but inexperienced quarterback. After facing Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes last week, the Chargers will go up against Buffalo’s Josh Allen, who will be making his first NFL start Sunday. Coach Anthony Lynn and members of the Chargers secondary say they don’t see much alteration of the game plan with the Bills going to their rookie, who was the seventh overall pick in this year’s draft. “When preparing against someone like that, you are not going to change too much. You watch the tape, look at the tendencies when making certain throws and go off on that,” safety Adrian Phillips said. The Chargers are preparing for Allen the same way they did with Mahomes, which is breaking down his college tape and preseason game. Safety Derwin James said the biggest thing that surprised him watching Allen was that he was better than he thought as a runner. Allen was sacked three times in last Sunday’s 47-3 loss to Baltimore but did have four rushes for 26 yards. Lynn said he expects a healthy amount of run-pass option plays for Allen. “He can run the zone read. Two of those were designed quarterback runs so he can move. You are going to have some of the same issues (as last week),” he said. Edited September 13, 2018 by 26CornerBlitz
