ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown came to Buffalo and held a tailgate

party outside of New Era Field before the Buffalo Bills’ game against the New England Patriots on Monday Night Football. With the amazing wing places available Authentic Stephen Hauschka Jersey , ESPN chose....Applebee’s.Boneless wings.Horrifying.Applebee’s is, of course, a California company trolling out glorified chicken nuggets as “wings”. Send these people back to their Connecticut cocoon with the (chicken) blood money they surely received for this product placement.It reminds me of one doofus, whose taste in local food is unrivaled. Michael Scott, Regional Manager of paper company Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch Bills Ryan Groy Jersey , loves his trips to New York City for his favorite slice of pizza.Use the comments section below to list your favorite local places, please. Duff’s and Anchor Bar are the touristy places, Gabriel’s Gate often tops list, and the nearby Big Tree Inn surely would have been able to help out.No word yet on if they used ranch or blue cheese.Shame, ESPN. Levi Wallace had a heck of a year. As an undrafted free agent Bills Jason Croom Jersey , the rookie landed with the Buffalo Bills where he fell to the practice squad with a cornerback group having decent depth to start the year. In Week two, Vontae Davis retired at halftime which eventually led to Phillip Gaines taking over opposite Tre’Davious White. Phillip Gaines had a bit of an issue with defensive pass interference (among other concerns) and was cut after a particularly bad outing against Da Bears. With a suddenly depleted defensive back roster, Wallace got the call to the active squad and never looked back. Let’s see how he did. Play 1This is Levi Wallace’s first drive of his first regular season NFL action. It’s pretty impressive that he diagnoses the play, directs one of the budding stars in Matt Milano, and then attacks the perfect receiver for the play call. Not every pre-snap routine is top notch like this one Cheap Kyle Williams Jersey , but Wallace is constantly communicating. For his part of the play itself, he drives as soon as he sees Quincy Enunwa turn his head. The pass is deflected, but even had it been caught this play is dead in the water thanks to Wallace. Play 2That isn’t to say he won’t make some mistakes. Wallace is so fixated on his man that he essentially tackles Matt Milano. As a result, some options open up for the Jets, though luckily they didn’t capitalize. Play 3Wallace’s aggressive nature can be a problem as well. Here that combines with good ol’ fashioned inexperience. Not realizing the receiver is coming in to block Bills Corey Bojorquez Jersey , Levi Wallace bites inside. By the time Wallace realizes what’s up the play is lost. Play 4More rookie eagerness and inexperience prevents a splash play in this clip. Wallace skirts the edge quite well and is in position to make a tackle five or six yards behind the line of scrimmage. He takes a bad angle to the inside and the running back gets outside of Wallace. The run still goes down as a loss, but this is a play Levi Wallace likely wanted a do-over on. Play 5Let’s take a look at pass coverage. Wallace wasn’t tested as much as you might expect as an undrafted rookie. He often held up well, with solid instincts and change of direction ability to stay with his man. Wallace is in good position here thanks to good anticipation on the route. Play 6And here’s a big reason why Wallace held up well in the final stretch of games. The ability to flip his hips leads to an easier time changing direction while maintaining speed. Play 7To start with the bad, Wallace nearly always turns sideways immediately at the snap rather than backpedal. Sometimes Wallace even telegraphs this pre-snap. This is something that can be taken advantage of by shiftier receivers. To close with the good, Levi Wallace is like glue on this route Bills Matt Milano Jersey , even navigating the hesitation move beautifully. SummaryLevi Wallace is a pleasant surprise, becoming the rare case where the depth players work out better than the planned starter. Wallace shows good awareness that unfortunately isn’talways matched by his experience and ability. There are a few things a clever team could exploit in Wallace’s game but several other aspects that make it hard to play against him. Wallace has already outplayed expectations, but look for him to make a bigger impression in year two.
