Texans host the Buffalo Bills Womens Matt Milano Jersey , DeAndre Hopkins will be featured heavily. You probably don’t need an opponent preview on him though, so instead we’re gonna look at tight end Ryan Griffin. Even star players like Hopkins need the rest of the team to help them out. The versatile Griffin is a quiet but necessary cog in the Houston offense. The starting tight end hasn’t seen less than 68% of snaps so far this year, and is averaging twice the playing time of the closest Texan tight end. Griffin has been limited in practice with a toe injury this week, but seems like he’ll play. If not, the Texans will look to replicate what he does, as seen below. Play 1The Texans love to have Ryan Griffin across the formation, whether it’s blocking or running routes. On this play he ends up blocking Jaylon Smith one on one. After the initial contact, Smith disengages and looks to go around the tight end. Griffin keeps Smith in front of him pretty well and Deshaun Watson has one less linebacker to worry about. Play 2Ryan Griffin and fellow tight end Jordan Thomas try to stop Demarcus Lawrence. Thomas loses the block and Lawrence slips behind him. Griffin is able to engage again and move laterally with Lawrence. This one goes down as a victory for Griffin.Play 3The Texans aren’t afraid to send Griffin out, though his 20 targets this year suggest he’s not a focal point for touches. He saw nine of those targets in this game though, and there’s no reason to think he’ll be ignored when there’s a favorable match-up. The sporadic amount of passes thrown his way do mean teams can’t completely ignore him when he’s running up the field. He’s a decoy for this route and manages to pull one defender with him, making it just a little easier for the Texans. Play 4Overall, Griffin catches well but doesn’t have great chemistry with Deshaun Watson. A good number of passes thrown to Griffin have been off target, like this one. It can be very difficult to assess blame Authentic Tre'Davious White Jersey , but the pattern of inaccurate ball placement to Griffin can’t be ignored. Griffin snags this one with a little extra effort. Play 5Route mastery is not something to expect from Griffin, but he’ll do these for Watson well enough. Leighton Vander Esch misjudges this play which helps Griffin get wide open for the ball. Play 6Like above, don’t expect much more than this but Griffin wisely understands the cushion Leighton Vander Esch provides here. Because Griffin isn’t a burner, he can make relatively tight turns to pair with his come back routes. Vander Esch is caught by surprise by this. Griffin’s lack of speed comes back to bite him as he’s tackled quickly after the catch. Play 7In addition to being a bit of a jack of all trades, Griffin has occasional lapses in his play. The initial contact with Leighton Vander Esch is good, but Griffin fails to finish the block. He stands upright quickly, losing leverage in the process. Vander Esch is able to slip into the lane that Griffin is trying to keep him away from. Play 8Griffin is set up to block Randy Gregory by himself. Gregory’s hesitation move leads to Griffin’s feet getting sloppy. Griffin stands upright like the last play and give up a lot of leverage. Additionally, Gregory is able to get his hands up near Griffin’s shoulders, which limits Griffin’s range of motion. With leverage gone and unable to hand fight, the results aren’t pretty. In ConclusionAt any given moment, Ryan Griffin can do his job well. The Buffalo Bills will need to account for Griffin. Both finesse and power rushers can find success against Griffin. Jerry Hughes, Trent Murphy, and Lorenzo Alexander all have variable skill sets that should be able to set something up against Griffin. Matt Milano will likely need to rely more on speed and finesse Womens Rafael Bush Jersey , and Tremaine Edmunds could have a strength advantage. In coverage, the Bills secondary could see him on any part of the field. Most of this group has the skill level to stay with Griffin. Bills fans shouldn’t expect to dominate Griffin, but a few impact plays through him shouldn’t be shocking.Video Preview: Buffalo Bills at Green Bay Packers The Buffalo Bills have their second straight game against the NFC North this Sunday when they face off against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. The Bills are looking to ride the high from their improbable win over the Minnesota Vikings while the Packers are looking to get back on track after a disappointing loss to the Washington Redskins. Here are three things to look for on Sunday on the hopefully not-yet-frozen tundra of Lambeau Field.Stopping Aaron RodgersAaron Rodgers is arguably the most talented quarterback to ever play the position. However, he’s been playing on a hurt knee since late in his Week one comeback win over the Chicago Bears. Even with that, he’s thrown for over 250 yards in each game following. Sean McDermott and Leslie Frazier will have their hands full stopping such a dynamic player.Can the offense continue to roll?The offense struggled through two games and then exploded with a stellar performance against a top-ten defense. They’ll now get a chance to continue that roll against a bottom-ten defense. Josh Allen has improved steadily from week to week. He’ll have to step it up again to keep pace with his counterpart on the Packers. Wide receivers still need to improveJosh Allen’s stats from Sunday look great, but they could have been even greater with some help from his receivers. Multiple drops took yards from Allen and points from the Bills. The offense needs Kelvin Benjamin, Robert Foster, Andre Holmes, Zay Jones, and the rest of the receiving corp to elevate their game in order to turn their first win into a win streak.
