Lorenzo likes the leadership that Derek Anderson brings

1 – Lorenzo likes the leadership that Derek Anderson brings

There was one thing that linebacker Lorenzo Alexander was eager to learn when the Bills signed a one-year contract with Derek Anderson last week – the age of the quarterback.

"The first thing I was trying to understand about him was his birthday, but I'm older than him," Alexander said. One Bills Live. "I think that's here 15 days. I am the oldest [on the team]. "

Alexander and Anderson, both Pac-12 alumni, know each other well.

"I played against Derek when he was at Oregon State, so we went back up," Alexander said. "We met up to the point of being in the league and talking to each other. Good guy.

Although the two 13-year-old veterans, Alexander and Anderson have never been on the same team before this month. Now sharing a cloakroom with the caller, Alexander has developed a new level of respect for the quarterback. The defenseman praised Anderson's leadership ability and willingness to communicate with his teammates.

"He really loves what he brings to this team, to management," Alexander said. "Maybe we've already talked about it, but Sean [McDermott] Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays sometimes call people as far as "What does our opponent like to do in these situations?" He was walking around and Derek offered himself. "Hey, I got it," and then escaped. It's just the type of leader he is. . . Really like him, like his personality, loves the way he was approached this week. Expect good things out of it. "

2 – Benjamin feels the body WR "begins to get comfortable"

While the offense as a whole struggled to put points on the board, the Buffalo receivers' corps played its best game of the season in the sixth week.

The sophomore Zay Jones scored three passes for 35 yards and a score. Kelvin Benjamin caught two passes for 43 yards and his 44-yard reception was canceled due to an illegal training penalty. Charles Clay and LeSean McCoy have also been involved in the passing game by combining seven receptions.

Although the offensive was largely based on last week's run, the pass attack was sometimes effective. The receivers of the Bills have presented some big games, showing signs of promise.

Buffalo will have a new quarterback center this week, while Derek Anderson will take the place of injured Josh Allen. Benjamin thinks the receiver group will continue its steady growth with the new caller.

"I think we're just trying to find our own identity as an offense," said Benjamin. "I think we're just starting to get comfortable and reach our goal. All we have to do is keep working. We have a new quarterback this week. We just have to continue grinding, keep working, keep pushing to try to give him the bullets. "

3 – PFF on what bills must do to defeat the Colts

The Bills will travel to Indianapolis to face the Colts in Week 7, a team that has an unbelievably disappointing record of 1-5 in six games.

The record of Indianapolis does not indicate how strong they have been to start the season. Andrew Luck has again established himself as one of the league's quarterbacks, since he has already amassed 1792 yards and 16 touchdowns. The Colts currently have the best conversion rate in the league for the third time, and their defensive front is one of the league's best, totaling 19 sacks to date.

Overcoming Indianapolis will not be an easy task for Buffalo Sunday. Pro Football Focus has provided indications that, in their opinion, will lead the Bills to victory.

PFF think Buffalo will do this weekend only look at LeSean McCoy. With a new center-quarter, the exit is waiting for McCoy to be at the center of the team's offensive attack, noting that the running half must focus on the yards' offense after contact.

Sean McCoy is averaging just 1.95 yards after touch per attempt this year. . . While veteran quarterback Derek Anderson is ready to play quarterback for the Bills on Sunday, the team needs the run to get out and relieve the pressure.

PFF think the Tre'Davious White cornerback is ready for another big game. The outlet thinks that the second year has played incredibly during the first few weeks of the season.

Tre'Davious White has been a positive point for the defense of the Bills this season. In six weeks, he imposed 28.6% of his goals, the third best rate in the league.

The website also highlighted an intriguing confrontation between Luck and the defense of the Bills Red Zone. Buffalo has been a brick wall near the goal line in recent weeks, but Luck is currently leading the league with nine touchdowns in the red zone.
