Excluding JA, predict which player will have the biggest impact - Titans at Bills

[BillsFan619]

Monday Night Football in our home opener. It's going to be FANdemonium. Bills Mafia out in full force for all the NFL to see.

 

The Titans would love to keep our high powered offense off the field as much as possible through long sustained drives. With Derrick Henry being the obvious focal point of the offense, our DL is going to need to control the line consistently on Monday night so that he's contained. Keep him contained and we have a great chance to keep those long drives to a minimum. Get the Titans in 3rd and 5 or more consistently and it's going to be a long night for them.

 

I believe our DL will be up to the challenge. We've done well against Henry overall throughout his career. In four games against the Bills he has 334 total rush yards. Not bad but not great. Think about this. Take away his 76 yard run last year, which some would say shouldn't have even counted because of all the holding on that play, and his total rushing yards against us in four games is 258 yards.

 

Even with Oliver and Settle up in the air, our DL comes to "eat" again and DaQuan Jones is my pick for biggest impact.

 

Who ya got, Bills Mafia?

 

 

PS - Who ya got, @Success?

[TBBills]

Dawson Knox 

[Lost]

Dawson Knox.  Just because he was quiet last game.   I expect at least 1 TD catch from him

He was quiet but his blocking was impressive during the game.

[Son of a K-Gun]

Motor on offense.

One of the rookies on D…Benford/Elam in run support or even Bernard if the Bills go with more 4-3.

 

[EasternOHBillsFan]

Bass and McKenzie.

 

Bass will probably have at least 4 field goals and McKenzie will have a monster game.

[ColoradoBills]

Milano and Edmunds.  

1.  In the beginning of the game they negate any long Derrick Henry runs.  Of course, it's helped by the DL.

2.  As the game progresses, they keep Tannehill from running for cheap 1st downs.

3.  At the end they defend the middle in the passing game making Tannehill throw outside.

4.  After the Bills success with rushing only 4 last week (and most of the 1st half of Monday's game) they each get a called blitz

and it catches the Titans off guard.

Whoever plays DT and Edmunds

[The Wiz]

Gabe - offense

Jones - defense

 

Less valuable player award goes to Martin.

Titans secondary is suspect so I’ll say Diggs.

[RyanC883]

DT rotation.  

[Big Turk]

On D, DQuan and Phillips.  Lawson as well if he is playing, which I assume he would be with Settle and Oliver likely out(I believe he would be in even if they were healthy due to his size and edge setting ability in the run game) as they contain Henry and force the Titans to throw more than they want and force them into 3rd and longs.

 

On O, Davis, Diggs, McKenzie and Crowder...Tennessee's starting CB is out and he isn't that good to begin with so the depth behind him is shaky at best.  

[eball]

Well, I failed on this one miserably last week (Oliver) but at least the DL did show up.

 

I'm going to say James Cook.  I think the rookie shakes off the fumble and makes some splash plays for this offense.

[Success]

Groot!   I couldn't believe how big he looked last week compared to last season (but just as fast).  He's due for a breakout game.

Dawson Knox 

[ChevyVanMiller]

I think Dawson Knox is going to have a big day for the offense and I have a feeling that Tauron Johnson will have a pick for the D.

Say what? Byard and Hooker are one of the best safety duos in football.

[H2o]

I'm going to say Von Miller. I think he is truly the x-factor on this defense and opens up things for everyone else. I think he gets 3 sacks and Tannehill's head is on a swivel all night looking for pressure. 

[Rc2catch]

This is a Tremaine edmunds game all day long.. Ton of run attempts, tons of play action.. As Colorado said earlier him and Milano are the key to not letting Henry hit the second level, and not biting on all the play action. 
 

And I think this is a slot day on offense. Rather it’s crowder or McKenzie they should both get favorable matchups 

[Freddie's Dead]

Imma go Motor on offense (assuming the McC hardon for Moss is flaccid this week), DaQuan Jones on defense.  With Oliver and Settle dinged up, DQJ gonna be key to stopping Henry.
