Stork not at practice today (Friday Oct 10)

[shmessy]

Data, the way you used it, is just about meaningless. As for what I'm offering, I'm offering a response to your inability to differentiate between correlation and causation.

You are merely writing your usual drivel of "If I say it is so, it is so".

Everyone here sees that for what it is.

The "response" you are offering is merely an arrogant sniff. If others relied on that solely this would be a far less informative forum.

I would say a good mix, with play action passes thrown in would do well.

This IS a good run D they are going up against and we all know Spikes' strength. A balanced attack without the McDaniels/Brady 65-70% pass panic attack.

We also know Spike's weakness, which is biting on play action too often. He likes to time his crash to the snap, so I expect quite a few calls which aims for the flat just behind Spikes.

Also a handful of false counts or exaggerated cadence to throw him off.

Spikes and Orton are well known within our coaching ranks.I think they are going with a heavy dose of Vereen and maybe White,quick
throw and runs to negate their pass rush.

I would target spikes and those linebackers with the TEs and running backs in the passong game all day

Could be another big day for wright and gronk

How does this Bills line compare to the one they had the last couple years? We had some monster running efforts against them, last year when Blount went crazy and the year before Ridley/Bolden had huge games. I believe Mankins missed the latter one and a chunk of the former but I could be wrong.

Hitherto, the Bills run defense has been one of the best. Not going to be easy to run on those boys Sunday, although I think the ground game will be important to get those linebackers to bite on play action. The Bills linebackers are not very good in coverage, FWIW.

And that's why i think Gronk will have a very good day sunday

I dont know storks collegiate injury history at all but I find this concerning. How often does a player get a concussion in practice? I honestly don't know the answer to that question.
He is four games into his pro career, playing a high impact position. One concussion already apparently. Not good for him or for us.

Exactly. As I wrote in my first line: "I would say a good mix, with play action passes thrown in would do well".

Their DL is basically the same. Their run defense has really improved with the addition of Spikes.

How does your QB roll his ankle in practice?

Yup with Spikes' coverage weaknesses, I'd say a large helping of play action with Looks to Gronk and Wright.

I don't know but I can see that happening more often than a concussion.

 

[RIpats88]

Any word if he traveled with the team?

He did and without a walking boot.

Think he was talking about stork...but not sure

you're right I thought I was on Bradys thread

We'll, in fairness, if Stork did travel, he wasn't in a walking boot.

 

[Mack Herron]

RT @AlbertBreer: Patriots rookie C Brian Stork didn't make the trip to Buffalo. Makes blocking Bills front a little tougher.
