Bills missing 2 starters on offensive line vs Watt, Texans

“Like I said, we’re just trying to execute and do the things that we’re told to do in the position we’re told to be in”. I think I’m taking the Texans here, if I have to. That’s no difference. Whenever you’re doing what you’ve been doing, you’re not teaching new tricks to an old dog. Quarterback Tyrod Taylor (questionable) continues to nurse a shoulder injury but is expected to start after throwing three touchdown passes for the third time this season in last week’s 30-22 setback at Kansas City. “Got here a few weeks ago and it was a lot of information to get down, but having the O-linemen – Eric Wood, Richie (Incognito), Cordy (Glenn), Urbik and Gabe (Ikard) helping me with terminology and it’s been good so far”.

“Every game is different, very creative”, O’Brien said of Buffalo’s defense.

If the Bills’ primary offensive chore Sunday is to prevent All-Universe end J.J. Watt from being a destructive force, their defensive effort is equally clear: don’t allow highly talented wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to consistently burn them for big plays. Watt missed multiple practices during the week with a groin injury but said he will play against the Bills, who dropped a 23-17 decision at the Texans last season.

-If the Texans’ resurgent defense had any intentions of relaxing after their latest conquest, then O’Brien plans on challenging them to establish an even higher standard. He also had one forced fumble and 20 total tackles as the Texans went 4-0. It will be Mills’ first start with the Bills; Mills started 29 games for the Chicago Bears from 2013-14. “We think that Jordan is our better option for us right now”, Ryan said.

The Bills announced Friday that running back Karlos Williams, right guard John Miller, and linebacker Nigel Bradham will all sit out Buffalo’s latest “must-win” game against Houston Sunday at Ralph Wilson Stadium.

With a pivotal game this weekend, O’Brien said it was good for Watt to get back on the practice field.

– The numbers on the pass rush have been a focal point since the end of the game against the Kansas City Chiefs. A roster move is necessary to make room. Buffalo, in turn, have dropped four of their last six games, but one of the Bills’ most recent wins came against the Miami Dolphins, who routed the Texans in Week 7.
