2016 Buffalo Bills(15 games)- 269/436 for 31.7% Comp%, and 3023 yards, 17 TDs, 6 INTs, QB rating 89.7
2017 Buffalo Bills(15 games)- 263/420 for 62.6% Comp%, and 2699 Yards, 14 TD, 4 INTs, QB rating 89.2
2018 Cleveland Browns(4 games)- 42/85 for 49.4% Comp%, 473 yards, 2 TDs, 2 INTs, QB rating 64.5
Now, where Taylor has been most effective at moving the chains and sustaining drives is with his legs. Here are his rushing totals for those three seasons:
2016 Bills- 95 rushes, 580 yards, 6 TDs
2017 Bills- 84 rushes, 427 yards, 4 TDs
2018 Browns- 16 rushes, 125 yards, 1 TD
I think the defense comes out in a lot of the same formations that led to Russell Wilson being sacked a number of times in last year's opener. I just hope the improvements at LB, S, and slot CB can hold down their RBs and TEs from easy completions.
Tyrod Taylor is 31 years old. For some reason, he seems like he should be a lot older.
Good stuff, it will be similar to playing a sucky Lamar Jackson, keep him in the pocket and make him beat you with his arm.
Ekeler is my biggest concern on that Offense, don't let this guy get free and punish him on the dump offs.
If our Offense can play decent I think we can beat these guys pretty good but that Defense is pretty stacked.
Especially the D-line.
Agree with others that I think this will be a low scoring game.
