Buffalo Bills announce captains Youth LeSean McCoy Jersey , including LeSean McCoy, Kyle Williams The Buffalo Bills announced their captains for the 2018 season on Tuesday. Kyle Williams and Lorenzo Alexander return on the defensive side of the ball while new captains Patrick DiMarco and LeSean McCoy step in on offense. For special teams, Stephen Haushka returns and Taiwan Jones receives the nod.Williams and Alexander were both captains last year as the elder statesmen of the defense. Prior to that, Rex Ryan didn’t name captains for the whole season. Williams has been a captain for nearly a decade.Tyrod Taylor was traded and Eric Wood retired, so two new captains came to the offense in DiMarco and McCoy. With a pair of young quarterbacks and no obvious choice on the offensive line, the decision to go with the two backfield teammates makes some sense, especially given their standings in the league.The Bills only had five captains a year ago Youth Dion Dawkins Jersey , with only one special teamer donning the “C”, which makes Jones might be the most interesting choice of all six. Many weren’t sure if he’d even make the final roster after slipping to the fourth running back, but his play on special teams has clearly been solid. Hauschmoney feels like a no-brainer, as he was a captain last year as well.All-22 analysis: Baltimore Ravens nose tackle Michael Pierce In 2016, the Baltimore Ravens added undrafted free agent nose tackle Michael Pierce and crossed their fingers. About to start his third season this weekend against our Buffalo Bills, Pierce has already exceeded expectations starting 13 games last season. Pierce should be matched up against the interior of Buffalo’s offensive line, which we all know will be a critical part of Sunday’s contest. Play 1Michael Pierce is typically asked to take on a role similar to that asked of Marcell Dareus by Rex Ryan. Specifically Youth Tre'Davious White Jersey , negate offensive lineman so his teammates can clean up. Pierce only had one sack in 2017, but 49 combined tackles playing this role. For this play, Pierce is taking on the double team. The play pauses to highlight two large running lanes, which Pierce helps create. For a nose tackle in the Ravens’ defense, it’s less about clogging lanes than it is about controlling where the lanes develop. Pierce knows he has C.J. Mosley behind him to clean up, and both of his teammates to each side are working one on one, allowing them to shift and close the gaps. Pierce’s control of two opponents on this play is impressive. If you’re wondering White Charles Clay Jersey , that’s Maurkice Puncey and David DeCastro he’s taking on. Between them they have nine Pro Bowl seasons and four All-Pro. Play 2This is very similar to the last clip, but the pauses show the lanes from the running back’s perspective. Here you can see even better how the Ravens scheme open lanes. While it sounds counter-intuitive, look how easily Patrick Onwuasor can shadow the play with Michael Pierce drawing so much attention. Play 3A lot of Pierce’s tackles were of the “one arm” variety. While nose tackles aren’t often expected to be master hand fighters, Michael Pierce shows off some solid fundamentals. If it were up to right guard T.J. Lang (two Pro Bowls), Pierce’s left arm would be tied up and Lang wouldn’t be pushed so far to his left. Pierce’s well-timed moves put him in position to make the tackle. Play 4Michael Pierce is one-on-one against Ramon Foster which turns out to be a mismatch. Pierce uses the full length of his arm to prevent Foster from securing his jersey. As a result, when Le’Veon Bell comes in behind Foster, Pierce cleanly disengages and comes around Foster for the tackle. From a physics standpoint Youth Shaq Lawson Jersey , you don’t often see a ball carrier come to a screeching halt with a shoestring tackle. Play 5Chris Hubbard shoves Za’Darius Smith into Michael Pierce. Rather than let himself be taken out of the play, Pierce recovers quickly and makes DeCastro look like little more than a speed bump. The play pauses to show the reach of Pierce. I didn’t bother looking up his wingspan because he knows how to reach. He sets his left hand on Bell and uses it to bring the rest of his 340 pounds on top of Bell. Play 6Pierce can get a head of steam in a hurry when needed. Golden Tate finds out the hard way. Pierce wraps on the tackle but the impact still creates a huge gap between their bodies. And then Pierce lands on him for good measure. Play 7If you’re looking for good news for the Buffalo Bills as they look to get past the Ravens, it’s that he should see limited playing time. On passing downs, Baltimore loves getting the lighter defenders out there, taking Pierce off the field.
