Good write up, MAJ.
The O-Line is just baffling to me. I know that Cordy Glenn hasn't played but I cannot believe how it looks like everyone has regressed. Yet, they were not like this in the first preseason game. Is it all because of the scheme? Rotating Miller & Ducasse does not help at all. Get rid of Ducasse.
I am in full agreement that this was not a dress rehearsal from the offense. They ran a lot of the same plays.
From what I have seen from the defense they definitely are going to be a strength. I'm very impressed with how the LB's & DB's are doing. The depth on the D-Line has been a pleasant surprise. Yarbrough & Worthy have been standing out. Washington could do better, but I'm not getting on his case. Ryan Davis has looked good too. Don't expect him to get cut. Hyde looks good, Poyer looks good, and I like what I've seen from Gaines. Make no mistake, this defense will be very tough.
I am hoping that these drops from Clay are just a preseason thing, because he made some important catches last night. Gotta give credit to O'Leary. He is playing a lot better.
After what had been reported during the OTA's & Mini-camp, and the early days of training camp, I thought that Dareus was finally coming around. I guess I was wrong. I hope that McDermott can reach him, because Dareus is a difference maker on the defense, and we need him out there all the time. Start using your brain, Dareus! PLEASE!!!
Andre Holmes could be in trouble, but if Streater gets put on IR, I don't think he will be cut. Unless there is someone else who gets cut from another team that the Bills can not pass on.
I need to see how the offense is when Cordy Glenn & Jordan Matthews are in it. Otherwise it is an overall incomplete assessment.
