ORCHARD PARK Youth Cody Ford Jersey , N.Y. (AP) — Sean McDermott insists the Buffalo Bills have enough talent on offense to win in the NFL.“I believe we do,” the Bills coach said.It sure didn’t look that way in a 41-9 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday, in what became the latest comedy of errors produced by an offense that’s proven more capable of committing turnovers than scoring touchdowns this season.Nathan Peterman continued showing he’s nowhere close to resembling an NFL quarterback. He threw three interceptions — one returned for a touchdown — to up his career total to 13 interceptions in just 153 passing attempts, including playoffs.Backup tight end Jason Croom lost a fumble , which was returned for another score.The Bills (2-7) were held to under 10 points for the fifth time this season, and have managed just 96 in nine games.And the only bright side was Peterman’s mean-nothing 1-yard touchdown run scored with 5:41 remaining to end Buffalo’s touchdown drought at 187 minutes and 19 seconds. It was the Bills’ eighth TD of the season, and first since Peterman’s 16-yard pass to Zay Jones in the fourth quarter of a 20-13 loss at Houston three weeks ago.“It was like a domino effect today,” receiver Kelvin Benjamin said. “It just kept stacking up on us. We really couldn’t catch back up.”He was referring to a second quarter in which the Bears scored 28 points in span of 12:20, included Eddie Jackson’s 65-yard fumble return and Leonard Floyd returning a pass that tipped off of Jones’ hands 19 yards for a score.“I don’t have the exact answer for it,” Jones said. “I don’t think I see anybody that’s not trying to give it their all. That’s the most discouraging thing about the whole situation right now is that the effort is there.”Frustration is setting in on a team that has lost four straight and, off to its worst start since losing eight of its nine first games in 2010.The Bills had no choice but to start Peterman , with rookie Josh Allen missing his third straight game with a sprained right elbow and Derek Anderson sidelined by a concussion.Though Peterman’s struggles were anticipated, the Bills have no solutions in spurring a running attack that is suddenly regressing.A week after LeSean McCoy had 13 yards on 12 carries in a 25-6 loss to New England , the running back was limited to 10 yards on 10 carries against the Bears.McDermott even made the decision to sit McCoy for a majority of the second half while he tinkered with his offensive line. Rookie Wyatt Teller saw playing time at left guard Womens Cody Ford Jersey , while Jeremiah Sirles eventually split time at right tackle.McDermott was vague in saying he sat McCoy because of what the Bears were doing schematically.McCoy, meantime, didn’t stick around to share his thoughts. He was spotted exiting the locker room before reporters were allowed to enter.Though Peterman will bear the brunt of the blame, not all the interceptions were his fault.Newly signed receiver Terrelle Pryor caught Peterman’s pass and lost control as he turned up field, with the ball landing in defensive back Adrian Amos‘ hands. Three snaps into Buffalo’s next possession, Peterman’s hard pass over the middle struck Jones in the hand and bounced directly to Floyd, who returned it for a touchdown.Peterman finished 31 of 49 for 189 yards and sacked four times in an outing reminiscent of his previous meltdowns. Peterman lost the starting job after faltering midway through a season-opening 47-3 loss at Baltimore. And then there were the five interceptions he threw in a 54-24 loss at the Los Angeles Chargers a year ago.“I think I don’t feel snake-bitten. I never feel like a victim or anything like that,” Peterman said. “It’s life. Things don’t always bounce your way.”Benjamin rallied to Peterman’s support, saying it’s unfair to pin the blame on him.“We know how the outside world works. They’re going to bash him and try to break his confidence. But Nate’s a good dude,” Benjamin said. “Unfortunately, bad things keep happening. And that’s football.” He stacks up to the Bills’ offensive linemen."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections NewsNotesOpinionAnalysisDiscussionPodcastNFL DraftSalary CapNFL DraftBuffalo Bills NFL Draft CoverageCody Ford fits Buffalo Bills’ offensive line measurables, but where do they see him?New,12commentsHe stacks up to the Bills’ offensive linemen. EDTShareTweetShareShareCody Ford fits Buffalo Bills’ offensive line measurables, but where do they see him?Oklahoma Sooners offensive lineman Cody Ford has been in a bit of an awkward position during preparations for the 2019 NFL Draft. He played guard and tackle in college and his measurables seem to fit him in at guard in the NFL Authentic Cody Ford Jersey , but where do teams see him?How would Ford fit in on the Buffalo Bills and could he be the tackle they need to solidify their unit?Team fitWhen Sean McDermott first started coaching the Bills and he brought along Rick Dennison’s zone-blocking scheme, the team drafted 6’4”, 315-lb Dion Dawkins as a tackle. His long arms helped him handle defenders around the edge, but he was still a player most analysts pegged as an offensive guard.Dennison’s gone, Juan Castillo is gone, and now we have a sample size of a half-dozen linemen to suggest to us the prototype Buffalo wants for Brian Daboll and Bobby Johnson’s offense. This doesn’t factor in any players already on the roster, for whom management didn’t have any pressing contract deadlines.OT Ty Nsekhe: 6’8” 330 lbs (long arms, but true measurements unknown)OT LaAdrian Waddle: 6’6” 315 lbs (arm length unknown)OC Mitch Morse: 6’6” 305 lbs, 32.25” armsOG/OC Spencer Long: 6’5” 320 lbs, 33.125” armsOG Jon Feliciano: 6’4” 323 lbs, 32.375” armsOG/OT Jeremiah Sirles: 6’6” 315 lbs (arm length unknown)At 6’4” and 329 lbs with 34” arms, Ford fits the size prototype Buffalo has looked for at both guard and tackle. He has the bulk to play inside and the long arms to play anywhere on Buffalo’s line. He probably lacks the fluidity for left tackle, but Dawkins can stay there and the Bills can shore up another position with Ford.Player ComparisonThere isn’t a clear comparison for Ford, though we have a few candidates. The first is Oakland Raiders guard Gabe Jackson Cody Ford Jersey Boys , who measured 6’3” and 336 lbs with 33 3/4” arms at the Combine. He also put up very similar athletic test numbers. Jackson was solely a guard in college and played guard in the NFL. Another similar player is Carolina Panthers right tackle Daryl Williams. The 6’5” 327-lb lineman was projected to play guard in the league because of weak athletic testing, but has held out on the edge so far. Cordy Glenn is another name who comes to mind—a college left tackle, many analysts saw his future at left guard due to his Combine performance, but he’s played on the outside during his time in the NFL. Glenn does outrank Ford in height, weight, arm length, and hand size, though.Sample play: I Left H-34 BOB (Back on Backer)This throwback running play is the kind of thing you use in short-yardage situations, where Ford’s strength is most useful. A “back on backer” call is designed to have the linemen blocking linemen and the fullback moving up to the second level to take on the play-side linebacker.Ford’s responsibility is to combo-block the nose tackle and move up to the second level to take out whichever linebacker ends up in his gap. The runner’s assignment is to run behind the right guard, so the play will succeed because of Ford’s ability to open a hole behind him.It’s unlikely Ford will be the pick at nine if Buffalo sees him as a guard, limiting his value. If the Bills think he can play both guard and tackle, and can slot him in on the right side in the short or long term, he could be in play.Next read: « Make your way through RuneScapeEverything you need to know for the final day of the draft » Weitere Artikel der Kategorie Allgemein |
