Five Questions with Battle Red Blog This Sunday Buffalo Bills Hoodie , 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 Cheap Customized Buffalo Bills Jerseys , head-scratching clock management, questionable challenges (and non-challenges), 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 www.billsfootballauthentics.com , 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.All-22 analysis: Buffalo Bills linebacker Matt Milano In case you haven’t heard, this Matt Milano guy has been playing the ol’ linebacker position pretty darn well for the Buffalo Bills. After about a year of splitting snaps with Ramon Humber, Milano was on the field for all but one play against the Tennessee Titans. This will hopefully become a pattern. Milano wasn’t perfect against the Titans, but he maintained a high level of play with his increased role. Let’s over-analyze some highlights. Play 1The Bills frequently have Matt Milano around the line of scrimmage to bring some extra heat Buffalo Bills T-Shirt , or at least the illusion of it. One key to the success of the defense against the Titans and recent weeks is the willingness to sell out for the anticipated play call. Both things harmonize on this play. As Marcus Mariota is all alone in the backfield, Milano creeps up from his spot in the middle to become an edge rusher. The linemen are aligned wide as they sell out to stop the pass. Milano’s quick pressure forces an incompletion and the Bills are off to a great start. Play 2If this play looks familiar, it was used in the Taron Johnson analysis from this week. Here we highlight Milano’s piece of the puzzle. As the slot receiver moves across the formation he leaves a sizable gap off the tackle. Milano slides over and shows blitz, which has already pressured Mariota into one bad pass. Even with the running back staying in to block, this would put the Titans at a disadvantage. Milano actually falls into coverage but the uncertainty on what Milano is doing on any given snap has begun.Play 3Milano made some really nice tackles in this game and it’d be easy to have a strict highlight reel. This play was selected to show a little of the Devil in the details. The, ahem, blatant hold on Milano pairs nicely with the lineman’s position. Milano is at risk of being tossed to the turf as a result. However Buffalo Bills Hats , as he’s being shoved he twists his body weight to fall into the running lane and shut the play down. This isn’t a textbook tackle by any means, but the MacGyver strategy works. Play 4Harrison Phillips takes up two blockers in the middle of the line while Kyle Williams occupies the third interior lineman. This leaves a nice gap for Matt Milano to occupy. Milano steps up and puts himself in place to help Phillips out if necessary and jump in front of the runner if he goes left. As a result of the work put in by all three, Milano shuts the run down. Play 5Ben Jones pulls to his left to block for this run. He finds Matt Milano and looks to be winning the match-up. As Dion Lewis runs for the edge, Milano shoves off of the block from Jones and accelerates into Lewis to help make the tackle. Play 6Individual victories pretty much across the board set up a near disaster for the Titans. Kyle Williams and Star Lotulelei beat the three interior offensive linemen. The pair create a large gap that the running back gets funneled into. Lorenzo Alexander come clean into the gap and is ready to make a play. As quickly as he gets there though, Alexander is beaten to the tackle by Jerry Hughes from the edge and Matt Milano. In Milano’s case, he weaves through the traffic and bursts into the back. Williams has also shed his block and the running black is blanketed.
