All-22 Grades for Bills/Patriots (The Athletic)

[JaCrispy]

None of our 3 DE picks, the last few years, are producing...should we be concerned?

I am a little surprised at the idea of Dane Jackson struggling against the pats. Giving up a few catches in zone coverage doesn’t seem like “struggling”— but I can’t read this and really haven’t gone back and watched the game again. 

 

It is on Thursday on NFLN.

I was curious if Bill still provides insight into the upcoming week. It’s a good watch going back to just before our game. He is so much better listening too when it comes to diving into the game as opposed to his post game press conferences lol

He gets turned around on quick cuts and double moves more than you'd like.

Not sure how McKenzie isn't top 5

Kinda calls into question the entire ranking system, doesn’t it?

GamePass has stopped providing All-22 replays again, at least on my account.  Anyone else paying for GamePass and not getting the All-22 ?   Seems to come and go.  Frustrating.

 

Yeah, not getting it for the NE game either. I'm able to get it for previous games. I really hate the change in formatting of game pass. It used to be so much more user friendly and seemed to work so much better. I constantly have problems with it.

Not surprised about Basham's low grade, I don't even remember seeing him in the game.  It's been said time after time, but the Bills need production out of their 2nd round picks

McKenzie was #6, for what it’s worth.

A weekly plea to subscribe to Athletic. Reasonably priced for a plethora of good content. Especially if you follow sports other than the Bills. Don’t let this and other sources die.

Yeh, I signed up before the season just to have access to Joe B's comments.  I enjoy the other coverage when I have time to look at it.  the A is looking for a partner though, its tough out there to keep such an endeavor going.

I’m sorry Kumerow looked like a non-athlete on his dropped TD. He only made it look like a tough catch by having no athletic ability to move his body close to the right position.

Is it just coincidence that Dawkins had his best game this season when the Bills got good left guard play?  I think not.

 

Do you think that's because he's getting help from the LG or because he no longer has to give help to the LG?

Same here.... Why is never explained.

Dane Jackson gave up two big plays on one of the second half TD drives. One was a 15 yard out, the second a big yardage crossing pattern. Otherwise he’s hanging in giving us decent play. Levi’s continues solid play.. would have had huge int up 20-7 that might have put game away early. S Neal solid in run situations. If we hold teams to 21 points we win in playoffs.

I think more likely he doesn't have to help the LG.

Wonder why Dawkins struggled all year but looked great against the pats ?

Surprised this post didn't get more love. It's a lot like a Cover-1 breakdown, except they don't cheat.

Not a coincidence, but Dawkins seemed much more determined than in other games. He was fired up and throwing his body around. He needs to keep thay kind of play up.

Nice to read about the adjustment the Bills made with Siran Neal.  If Bates turns into an answer at G then the Bills have a great deal more freedom come draft time.

Yes, but Rousseau was a bit of a project pick so he may need another year. Epinensa, like Cody Ford, is looking like a disappointment. He may become a rotational line player and stick to the roster but he is not playing at a special level.
