together the squad for the last two seasons. With Leslie Frazier at the helm
Russell Bodine Jerseys 2019 , the team has certainly fielded some duds, even to the point of head coach Sean McDermott taking a larger role in calling the defense early in 2018. That being said, they’ve averaged out to be very, very good under Frazier.Here’s the tale of the tape for 2018. Vote in our approval poll below.Inserted Tremaine Edmunds as starting middle linebacker
White Phillip Gaines Jerseys , managing a 20-year-old play caller and defensive leader. Edmunds was the NFL’s Defensive Rookie of the Month in December.Inserted Vontae Davis into the starting lineup before his abrupt retirement, replacing him with Phillip Gaines, Ryan Lewis, and eventually Levi Wallace.Started rookie Taron Johnson at slot cornerback over Gaines
Phillip Gaines Jerseys 2019 , only to have to replace him with safety Rafael Bush after multiple injuries to Johnson.Finished second in yards allowed, first in passing yards allowed, and 16th in rushing yards allowed.Finished the year 18th in points allowed and 30th in red zone scoring percentage. (Should be noted they had the worst starting field position of any defense in the NFL.)Totaled 27 turnovers to finish eighth in the NFL.Allowed four opponents to score more than 30 points in a game in 2018, including two who topped 40.Ranked eighth in third-down conversion percentage (36.5%). The Bills drafted Josh Allen for his arm
White Marshall Newhouse Jerseys , but he may wind up as their leading rusher this season.Allen entered Sunday’s game in need of 90 yards to overtake LeSean McCoy for the team’s lead and he’s just four yards away from the top spot. Allen has 87 rushing yards and a touchdown while McCoy ran for just one yard before hurting his hamstring, so chances are good the day will end with Allen in first place.Allen’s running exploits have pushed him to 321 yards over the last three weeks, which is the most for any quarterback over a three-game span in the Super Bowl era. Michael Vick, who was rarely cited as a comp for Allen as he prepared for the draft
Marshall Newhouse Jerseys 2019 , had the previous record.It might not end with a Bills win if the Jets special teams keeps making plays. Andre Roberts returned a pair of kickoffs into Bills territory and the Jets turned that good field position into 10 points that put them down 17-13 before the Bills’ final drive of the half. Buffalo had a chance to add to that lead, but Henry Anderson blocked a Steven Hauschka field goal attempt to keep the deficit at four points.Hauschka was shaken up while being blocked during the return and injuries have been a factor for both sides on Sunday. In addition to McCoy, the Bills offense saw wide receivers Isaiah McKenzie and Robert Foster leave the game. McKenzie returned to the game and the Jets saw quarterback Sam Darnold miss one drive with a foot injury. Running back Isaiah Crowell is questionable to return with a toe injury as well.
