Find out what rookie Nicholas Petit-Frere is made of
Nicholas Petit-Frere, a third-round pick out of Ohio State, has stepped up as the Titans starting right tackle through training camp and Week 1. While he may ultimately have a good career, playing tackle in the NFL is a tough transition, and even the best offensive tackles usually struggle early on in their careers. Petit-Frere held up a week ago, but the Giants were without their top two edge rushers in Kayvon Thibodeaux and Azeez Ojulari.
Meanwhile, the Bills’ pass rushers looked like both an unstoppable force and an immovable object as they tallied seven sacks against the Los Angeles Rams. An important footnote to the seven-sack performance is that the Bills didn’t rush more than four guys a single time. Being able to wreak havoc on a game without dialing up blitzes is a massive advantage for this Bills team.
In what should be a raucous environment on Monday Night, the Bills should show some pressure looks and test the pre-snap communication between Ryan Tannehill and his rookie right tackle. It could be a big game for Greg Rousseau and Boogie Basham as they look to continue the positive momentum in potential breakout second seasons.
