One of the best things that came from the Bills vs Vikings game. Calling a play and executing early in the game, but also using that play to gather intel and set up a shot play later in the game. And all against a defense that will melt your face & brain
Titans head coach Robert Saleh on Amani Hooker:
“I love that dude, man. I’ve been blessed, knock on wood, I’ve had some really really really good Safeties in my career…when you look at Hook, his instinct and where he ends up on the field, I’ve told him several times on certain calls he ends up in certain plays, he ends up in an area on the field that I’ve never seen a Safety end up on in our system. He’s just so instinctive. He’s always around the ball…he’s a ball hawk. He finds himself around the ball, he’s an eraser, elite communicator, executes his technique at a very very high level. And then on 3rd down we’ve been able to utilize him as a Dime backer…he’s fun. He’s a heck of a football player man”
Don’t know if the initial hit or the ricochet off the glass/boards was worse, but man this was nasty

The Bills made a significant move at the trade deadline so let’s look at the tape right now and see what’s what when it comes to Amani Hooker

Amani Hooker (37) with the speed turn & angle to get himself back to Smith on the deep corner route (ball is late and hangs up there which also helps). Hooker does well to track the ball and time his jump, but his 8th percentile arm length almost costs him
The Buffalo Bills are 3rd in the league in Dime rate at 20.9% and that rate jumps to 42.6% on 3rd downs. Recently those Dime looks have included Hamlin, Stone, and Bishop. Guessing Stone is odd man out with Amani Hooker coming over, but the new rotation & usage will be something to watch for im general, and with how Hooker can be used and was used in Tennessee this year

Amani Hooker (37) essentially playing off ball LB, communicating/directing before the snap and then scraping down the line to make the tackle
Amani Hooker (37) fitting the C gap on a 3rd & 2 and making the stop. Watch him wrap up Taylor + turn him sideways to prevent him from falling forward for the first down. Good tackle and a smart play
Amani Hooker (37) making his way into the box, diagnosing the run, getting under the crack from the WR, and making the stop in the hole
Very nice addition for the Chiefs. Josh Downs is a nasty route runner and can find space in zone and separate vs man
Trade! The Chiefs are acquiring WR Josh Downs and a 2027 seventh-round pick from the Colts for 2027 fourth-round and fifth-round picks, sources tell @ringer @netflixsports.
Kansas City lands a receiver at the buzzer, while Indianapolis keeps loading up for the future.
Amani Hooker (37) plays with good spatial awareness and reads QBs well. Here the Titans do a good job in coverage collecting the route distribution, with Hooker squeezing the new 3 (88), and then planting & driving once he sees the QB set & transfer
Amani Hooker snaps by position in recent seasons:
2024:
474 deep
240 box
99 slot
2025:
373 deep
367 box
119 slot
2026:
143 deep
277 box
66 slot
Sources: Prior to trading for Amani Hooker, the #Bills made a very strong push for #Cardinals 8x Pro Bowl S Budda Baker.
Arizona gave off the impression they don’t want to trade a franchise icon - despite a lost season - and Buffalo eventually got a deal done in Tennessee.

A small taste of what Amani Hooker brings to the Bills defense.
This is the coverage/range based post type to pair with Cole Bishop that the Buffalo Bills defense needed. Gives you athleticism + a stabilizing piece on the back end with ball skills. He can also play in the box
