Lindsey for Denver
But he’s pretty decent, probably top20 rb

We’d better figure it out quick

I didn't notice if it was true for this game, but Edmunds is susceptible to falling for counters and he has a tendency to over commit. Hopefully he can clean that up because dude is a beast

Milano, too, if you believe Joe Buscaglia's All-22 analysis last week.

They're worried about blowing the play up in the backfield. A little more patience in that situation will help

When I think of Lindsay/Freeman as one its pretty tough. Will Brandon Allen step up as qb

He’s probably just a “game manager”
But if they’re running the ball on us,
and our offense is turning it over or getting FGs instead of TDs...
That’s a game we could lose
Or could at least be close enough to make us sweat a bit

He’s out of position a lot for such a talented guy
I’m starting to think he’d be better on the outside, where he’s got more space to diagnose what’s going on & can generally attack more
He’s also very young & still learning a difficult position
It would also help if o-linemen weren’t getting to the 2nd level to block him so often

Also,
When Oliver doesn’t get penetration, he gets pushed around a bit in the run game
An off-season of him hitting the weights should help, but for now he’s a guy who isn’t strong enough to make up for his lighter weight on many occasions

It just is what it is for this year
Maybe we need to bring Hyde/Poyer up into the box more to help vs the run?

That might help the run game, but those two are invaluable in the secondary to break up the pass game.

Even if they're giving up 100 yards on the ground, I'll take that over 250 through the air. Jeremy white said that this morning, which is right I think. Hopefully Edmunds improves his reads through experience

I hear ya overall...
but if it’s a close game, there’s gonna be key plays where we need to stop a 3rd & 3 run
Or just not give up 5yds + on 1st down over & over & over

And it’s not 100yds on the ground I’m super worried about
We gave that up in the 1st half alone yesterday,
vs a bad team
Philly dropped over 200 on us
And we’re gonna be going up against guys better than Jordan Howard & AP

And we can’t just let teams have 8minute drives & eat up tons of clock if our offense isn’t scoring TDs

This Browns game is going to be tough. Their backs are severely against the wall.
- buffalofan19


Hopefully the browns continues the downward trend.

That offense can break out at anytime though. I think any bills or football fan would be foolish to not think that. With all the talent they have
