His father was a professional soccer goalie and the former owner of a local collegiate summer baseball team-the Niagara Power.

TigerJ Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 I think the problems on the offensive line for the Bills are less about inferior players and more about inferior cohesiveness as a unit. They played pretty well versus the Vikings, but their lack of experience and cohesiveness as a unit made them vulnerable to the complexities of Mike Pettine's defense, which is based on deception. I think the line has the potential to be considerably better than they were last Sunday eventually, but in the near term I don't think the woes of the offensive line are over. It's a copy cat league, and until they solve it, other defensive coordinators are going to emulate Mike Pettine's approach.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 NFL Week 5 game picks: Chiefs over Jaguars; Eagles nip Vikings Tennessee Titans 16, Buffalo Bills 13 1 p.m. ET (CBS) | New Era Field (Orchard Park, N.Y.) Let's see ... The Titans can get after the quarterback and the Bills can't protect the quarterback. On paper, Tennessee should win this matchup going away. But if Marcus Mariota and the passing game regress from last week's trend-busting performance, then Buffalo has a chance. As always, turnovers are key with the Bills, particularly at home. Mike Vrabel's offense isn't built to take a lot of risks and, thus, shouldn't give the ball away all that often, though Mariota committed an egregious turnover against the Eagles last week. Both teams need to push their starting tailbacks out of the starting blocks. Tennessee's Derrick Henry has rushed for just 163 yards -- at a measly 3.0 yards per carry -- over the first four weeks of the season. Buffalo's LeSean McCoy doesn't even have 100 yards on the season yet. Oy.
