Fans clamoring for the Buffalo Bills to keep trying to right the ship on

offense have looked at various options. One of the more often heard (and realistic) cries is to give playing time to rookie guard Wyatt Teller. This particular wish was granted against the Chicago Bears when Teller saw his first regular season action. Let’s take a peek and see how he handled things. Play 1Here’s Wyatt Teller’s first play of the game Buffalo Bills Womens Hoodie , subbing in at left guard for Vlad Ducasse. Jonathan Bullard tries to run through Teller and eventually gets around him. But not before Teller holds him up for three seconds. From a physics standpoint the two are matched pretty evenly. Teller gets an early leverage advantage and is off to a good start. Play 2It’s Teller vs. Bullard again and Teller appears to be winning this round as well. The difficulty of the block is way higher on this play as Teller also needs to prevent Bullard from moving quickly to the play side. Teller’s feet tell the story here. As he tries to get himself in the best position he takes large steps which cause larger shifts in his center of balance. When the play comes their way, Bullard has the ability to launch sideways and make the stop. Teller’s block isn’t the only thing that doesn’t go perfectly for the record. Play 3Wyatt Teller has some decisions here. He can help block the nearly 300lb Bullard or go one-on-one with the 239lb Danny Trevathan. With LeSean McCoy also in to block, Teller elects to help wipe out Bullard. Based on how effective Shady is on Trevathan it appears Teller made the right decision. Nathan Peterman has a clean pocket based on the team effort. Play 4Teller has a heck of a shove on Roy Robertson-Harris. It’s maybe even a little too good of a shove, as Robertson-Harris collides with Chris Ivory. Nathan Peterman seems to be looking in that direction and Ivory’s timing as a safety valve has been disrupted. Dion Dawkins has been beaten from the edge and Peterman is forced to take off. Play 5If you took a look the Jeremiah Sirles all-22 here’s some bonus review, as the pair of Sirles and Wyatt Teller saw time together toward the end of the game. Notice that Teller has flipped to the right guard spot. Sirles remains at right tackle. For this play, Teller has to decide between helping Sirles or Russell Bodine. Based on the angle of approach it appears Bodine’s man will be disruptive to the play earlier. Teller seems to agree and directs his efforts there. Telller and Bodine ensure a clean pocket for Peterman. Jeremiah Sirles isn’t all that “traditional” in his block, but manages to hold up long enough for this quick pass. Play 6Both Wyatt Teller and Jeremiah Sirles take an early impact that set them a little off balance. Both struggle to maintain their block as a result and the defenders both circle around and flush Peterman out of the pocket. As the graphic says they’re both flirting with holding penalties. Both are good non-calls though Teller is fringe. Stay tuned for the bye week when I’ll dive into the offensive holding penalty and show how Sirles is actually in no danger of being called for holding. Play 7Both Teller and Sirles block Jonathan Bullard. Kylie Fitts stunts to the gap in the middle and it looks like Teller is about to get a lesson in “NFL speed.” Instead, a beautiful weight shift from Teller puts him in position to disrupt Fitts’ momentum and knock him out of the gap. Marcus Murphy may have had the block himself but Teller makes it a lot easier. With Teller moving off the block on Bullard, Sirles’ feet take him where he needs to be to cut off Bullard and maintain that block. In ConclusionWyatt Teller made a few mistakes in limited action. In a full game with opponents able to study his tendencies it’s possible he’d be a liability as the unquestioned starter. On the other hand, he’s shown he’s strong enough to take on NFL defensive linemen which is a great start for a fifth round rookie. Several plays also demonstrated good decision making and enough technique to be effective. With the phrase “mathematically alive” being the current beacon of hope Womens Customized Buffalo Bills Jerseys , Teller is a player that McDermott would be wise to continue playing.Five Questions with Battle Red Blog This Sunday, the Buffalo Bills will be looking to string together their first winning streak of the year when they take on the Houston Texans. We spoke to Chris Watkins from Battle Red Blog for a scouting report on the Texans. Chris talked about everything from the health of the team’s quarterback to his thoughts on whether the team will make a move ahead of the trade deadline in a couple weeks. 1) How important was it for the Texans to come out of the Cowboys game with that overtime victory?Frankly, it was the season. Even though the Jaguars and Titans only have three wins, if ever there was a “must win” in Week 5, this was it. It put the Texans somehow one game off the pace in the AFC South and helped to build confidence that the Texans can get this thing turned around after such a horrific start. Really the resurgence started in Week 4 when the Texans returned to more of the offense that worked so well in 2017. I still have no clue why Bill O’Brien insisted on extending the offense’s preseason three games into the regular season, but here we are.2) Is there any reason to be concerned over the chest injury Deshaun Watson is dealing with?Absolutely. It’s no secret locally or nationally that Watson has been getting thrashed both due to poor offensive line play and to his own recklessness. Specifically in the win over the Cowboys, the offensive line had by far its best performance of the season in terms of protecting Watson - but suddenly Watson was putting himself at risk by not throwing the ball away and not sliding on runs. Couple that with some questionable designed-run play calls and it’s no exaggeration to say Texans fans know it’s a “when” scenario and not “if” Watson misses extended time due to injury.3) What has been the glaring weakness on the team so far?I have to give you three. In no particular order 1) The offensive line play. It’s been decent run-blocking and also terrible. It’s been terrible pass-blocking and also average to below average. Plus they’ve had a different starting lineup for each of the first five weeks if I’m not mistaken. 2) The secondary has been a MESS. The unit had its best game of the year by far against the Cowboys, but of course the Cowboys currently do not have a plus QB and they may be the least talented WR corps in the NFL. 3) Bill O’Brien. Confounding play calling, head-scratching clock management, questionable challenges (and non-challenges) www.billscheapshop.com , lack of aggressiveness in obvious scenarios that call for it, and above all - the above-referenced flip back to the offense that better suits Deshaun Watson over whatever-the-hell was happening in weeks 1-3.4) With the trade deadline a couple weeks away, do you see the team looking to make any moves?I do not. It’s never been this team’s M.O. and I don’t expect that to change this year. If anything they could make a very minor move for the offensive line or secondary, but I doubt even that will happen unless they feel like they can get something for JD Clowney - but they would be NUTS to move him, in my opinion.5) Aside from Hopkins v White, is there another matchup you are looking forward to seeing?The Houston pass rush against the Bills O-Line/Josh Allen. I saw some VERY ugly numbers about Allen’s effectiveness when he’s under pressure - dead last in the league if I’m remembering correctly (Editor’s Note: Unfortunately, Chris is remembering correctly). The Texans will be coming after him HARD, and Houston is pretty good against the run so I’m not too worried about Shady and Ivory getting a ton of yards, especially after how the Texans bottled up Ezekiel Elliott.
