lls earned a preseason victory against the Cleveland Browns in their second 2018 preseason game Friday night. How did the Bills eight 2018 NFL Draft picks www.authenticsbuffalobills.com , including quarterback Josh Allen, perform? Pretty darn well for the most part. Read about each rookieâs performance below. QB Josh AllenAllen entered the game early in the second quarter and immediately provided a spark, marching the team right down the field and completing a pretty pass to Rod Streater for a touchdown. On the touchdown throw, Allen showed off his quick feet in avoiding a free rusher, resetting himself and delivering a strike to Streater. The very next drive, the rookie quarterback successfully commanded the two-minute offense, utilizing short throws and scrambles, and earned himself a field goal. Overall it was a solid day at the office for the 7th overall pick, finishing 9-of-13 for 60 yards and the aforementioned touchdown pass.LB Tremaine EdmundsIn college, Edmunds was a player more known for his athleticism and physicality, not his instincts and that seems to have carried over into the pros. Against the Browns Buffalo Bills T-Shirt , whenever there was motion or âwindow dressingâ in the backfield, Edmunds would either lose sight of the ball or was hesitant to fill the correct hole in the run game. This led to a big gain by Carlos Hyde early in the first quarter. However, when Edmunds was able to keep his eye on the ball carrier in simpler looks and use his speed, he made some positive plays. His best play of the night came late in the second quarter when he shot through a gap and brought down Hyde for a two-yard loss. DT Harrison PhillipsPhillips got some extended time with the starters, thanks to a Kyle Williams injury, and didnât make much of an impact. He was able to bullrush his lineman and redirect some runs, but didnât get much pressure on his pass rushes. His sole tackle came on a Baker Mayfield scramble on a third and long.CB Taron JohnsonJohnson actually got the start at nickel corner and rewarded the coachâs faith by turning in a solid performance. In the first quarter, Johnson was the victim of a scary crackback block by not-at-all-a-dirty-player Jarvis Landry, but managed to shake it off. He had a decisive tackle-for-loss on a first-and-goal on the Browns first drive. Then, on the Browns second drive, successfully dropped into zone coverage against Landry Buffalo Bills Hats , forcing a throwaway from Tyrod Taylor.SS Siran NealNealâs highlight of the night came on a sack of Browns backup quarterback Drew Stanton. Neal timed the snap well, blitzed off the edge, and caught Stanton from behind to force a punt. That play came after the rookie got the wind knocked out of him in coverage on an incomplete pass.OG Wyatt TellerTeller had a quiet night, which is exactly what you want from an offensive lineman. His pass protection was flawless, not surrendering any pressures, and his run blocking was on point, especially when he was able to meet linebackers at the second level. He also appeared to get lazy on a few run blocks, using poor technique and dropping his head. WR Ray-Ray McCloud IIIMcCloud caught a pass from Nathan Peterman on a crossing route that resulted in a 12-yard gain, but that was his only target. He was tripped up on a third down play in the third quarter that might have resulted in a completion if he was able to keep his feet.WR Austin ProehlThe much-maligned rookie wideout had his best preseason performance to date with 2 catches for 26 yards. A nifty 19-yard pirouette catch in the fourth quarter extended the Bills drive and allowed the team to put the game on ice. If Proehl can string together more performances like this one, perhaps he can earn himself a spot on the practice squad.UDFA NotesLevi Wallace was able to plant and drive on a short pass early in the third quarter and earned a pass breakup.UDFA running back Keith Ford was kept in check for most of the day and finished with 9 carries for 23 yards.UDFA wide receiver, and training camp darling Buffalo Bills Hoodie , Cam Phillips had one catch for 5 yards. If youâve been following the weekly snap counts you may have noticed an odd trend. The Buffalo Bills are hardly putting fullback Patrick DiMarco on the field on offense. His high-water mark so far this season came against the Minnesota Vikings when he logged 12 offensive snaps. All told, heâs seen the field a mere 25 times through four games. Letâs review 40% of his playing time and see what the Bills have been up to at the fullback position.Play 1Here Patrick DiMarco is doing some typical fullback work. DiMarco and LeSean McCoy go to opposite sides of Nathan Peterman. As DiMarco sets up one lane, Vlad Ducasse pulls to make another. Shady has to quickly choose which lane to go with after the play starts. He chose...poorly. McCoy tries to cut back but itâs too late and actually collides with DiMarco. This was his entire game on offense against the Ravens.Play 2As youâll see, the Bills havenât been shy about letting DiMarco run a route from the fullback spot. Quite often he finds a soft spot. This is however the only time a quarterback has decided to actually throw it to him. Josh Allen and DiMarco are out of sync. DiMarco looks inside for the ball and has to come back and make a diving grab to the outside. Thereâs almost zero yards-after-catch as a result. Play 3Near the end zones the Bills are more likely to bring DiMarco in, whether itâs scoring position or backed up on the wrong side of the field. DiMarco is likely looking to block in case Allen decides to scramble on this play. He does look back in good position to make a catch however. A flick of the wrist and this might have been a touchdown (donât worry, see the next play). Play 4DiMarco was made the second-highest paid fullback in the league by Buffalo for a reason. Heâs a good fullback. The ability to stop his man at the line clears just enough room for Chris Ivory to punch the ball in for a touchdown. DiMarco has been used often in short yardage situations. If thereâs a Josh Allen quarterback sneak, thereâll be DiMarcoâslamming into Allen to push him forward a bit more. The Bills havenât had much in the way of short-yardage situations so far this year and itâs likely DiMarco sees more playing time if the Bills start seeing more third-and-short. Play 5Thereâs been a few of these too. DiMarco isnât a downgrade at the receiver position, but arguably he may have been more effective blocking this running play from the fullback spot. Play 6There havenât been too many plays where Patrick DiMarco has been asked to help in pass protection. This snap and another chip or two and one actual blocking assignment have been it. DiMarco hasnât been the only back mostly absent from this role either. The Bills have been reluctant to have any of their backs help Josh Allen out by blocking. Play 7Itâs unfortunate that Allen canât get the ball to the wide open DiMarco on this play as thereâs a decent chance to move the sticks. This play was set up well by Brian Daboll. They used a similar formation including motion from DiMarco twice earlier in this game against the Vikings. The first time was a lead block for Ivory on a running play. The second was right before this play on what also appeared to be a run (Allen fumbled so weâll never know for sure). DiMarco sells the block as if itâs the same play call. The defense bites and heâs wide open. Play 8Despite DiMarcoâs above average speed and agility for a fullback heâs been rarely used to block to the outside. He does his job well, and perhaps some more of this could help jump-start the Billsâ offense. Play 9Thereâs a lot to like about Patrick DiMarco but heâs hardly perfect. He doesnât get enough of the block and the lane heâs there to clear shuts fast (though itâs not completely his fault). Play 10As they say, âalways end on a high note.â DiMarcoâs low snap counts donât seem to be the result of poor play. His success here leads to a few more yards.
