The Buffalo Bills will take the field for the third time this preseason with

Video Preview: Buffalo Bills vs. Cincinnati Bengals preseason game their third different starting quarterback. Josh Allen will be the one leading the starters out on to the field when the Bills face off against the Cincinnati Bengals at New Era Field. Allen’s success is obviously a big reason to watch for on Sunday. The offensive line and defense give us plenty more to watch for as well.Josh Allen is trash the Bills’ starting quarterbackThe seventh overall pick has steadily moved up the depth chart this offseason Vladimir Ducasse Jersey , and Sunday will be his first chance to show what he has as a starter. Nathan Peterman has performed the best of three quarterbacks thus far, but a strong performance by Allen could catapult him into the starting position for week one of the regular season. Or, this could all just be part of the process that Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane originally designed for their quarterback competition. Either way, Bills fans’ eyes should be tuned to the game Sunday when Allen takes the field. Offensive line woesWe knew the offensive line would take a step back after losing two former Pro Bowlers, but the line as performed even worse than expected thus far. Even Dion Dawkins, who was supposed to be the stalwart this season, looked bad against the Cleveland Browns. See Skarekrow’s video analysis for a full breakdown of the performance. No matter who is at quarterback, the offensive line will need to improve if Brian Daboll wants to score any points this season. Defense needs to reboundThe Bills defense had a solid first outing Authentic Matt Milano Jersey , but any momentum from that was stopped dead in its tracks against the Browns. Tyrod Taylor and the Browns’ starting offense’s methodicaltouchdown drive kicked off a poor showing from the starting defense. Dan Lavoie broke the film down extensively, but the short of it is the Bills’ defenders were caught off guard by Todd Haley’s motion and counter offense. A game plan will help prepare for this in the regular season, but we all would still like to see fewer mistakes from the defenders against the Bengals. The Buffalo Bills battled the New England Patriots for three quarters this past Sunday, before finally succumbing and being put away in the fourth quarter. The strong defensive effort on the day wasn’t exactly spearheaded by the rookie class, but they did find themselves as strong contributors to the effort. On the offensive side, the two rookie wide receivers recorded reception despite limited snap counts. More about the performance of each rookie below.LB Tremaine EdmundsEdmunds was picked on a few times by Tom Brady and the Patriots in underneath coverage, as the team was able to get him matched up with elite slot receivers Julian Edelman and James White. While those instances were certainly glaring, he also had a fair number of positive plays Micah Hyde Jersey , such as a tipped pass in coverage early in the first quarter or his tackle-for-loss of James White early in the second quarter. Unfortunately, Edmunds sustained a concussion on a tackle and was ruled out of the second half of the game.DT Harrison PhillipsPhillips made his presence felt on a few run plays, particularly on stretch runs. The rookie defensive tackle is incredibly well-balanced when moving laterally, and solo tackled the running back on a few occasions. He does persists on being a no-show when rushing the passer, which continues to be something he needs to improve on in the following games.CB Taron JohnsonThe Patriots game plan was mostly predicated on attacking the linebackers in coverage so Johnson wasn’t targeted much as a result. One of the few times he was targeting in coverage, the receiver, Chris Hogan, committed offensive pass interference. His tackling was characteristically spot-on Bills Rafael Bush Jersey , although he only had two, one of which was for a loss.S Siran NealNeal once again saw himself solely assigned to kick-return team duties and did have a decent block to spring Marcus Murphy for a 30-yard return. Unfortunately that return was negated by an unnecessary roughness call on Logan Thomas.WR Ray-Ray McCloud IIIOnly targeted once, McCloud actually made the most of his 11 offensive snaps in snagging a 16-yard reception from Derek Anderson in fourth quarter garbage time on a dig route. WR Cam PhillipsA week after making the Bills’ roster, Phillips recorded the first regular-season reception of his professional career against the Patriots. His nine-yard reception came on a crossing route. Also only seeing 11 snaps on offense, it was an efficient day for the receiver.P Corey BojorquezThe rookie punter was reportedly playing through a shoulder injury sustained against the Houston Texans, which partly explains his poor day punting the football against New England. Only two of his five punts were downed inside the 20-yard line and he had two needless touchbacks when he should’ve attempted to pin the Patriots deep. After the game he was placed on Injured Reserve so we won’t see Bojorquez on the field again until next year. NotesStarting quarterback Josh Allen was inactive against the Patriots as he continued to recover from his elbow injury sustained against the Houston Texans.Rookie guards Wyatt Teller and Ike Boettger were again inactive.
