I was very impressed with Price. The thing is, he had a very good game vs. the giants last season, and got creamed the next week.
Consistent good play from Price would be a huge plus for this team, and yesterday was a great start.
Maybe he is a player who can be helped by McNally.

No it isn't. They looked better Sunday because we played a lot of max protect and threw on first when they were not expecting it which helped take pressure off of the line. We did that because we had those reserves in so the coaches were more conservative in terms of pass protection. We threw 2-3 guys at Taylor on every play. It is what we did in NY in the 4th quarter. Lets not get too giddy over the line play. The team, primarily due to the offense I suspect, was booed going into the locker room at the half. They had a nice drive that stalled resulting in just a field goal and another scored a TD but that started at the Miami 37. The offense was not exactly all world. They were better than they have been and they were good enough to win but we still have problems on the line. Tucker and Price are not the answer to the glaringly bad O-line play we have seen for most of the season.
Another reason they looked better was because a stupid player was sitting on the bench. He therefore didn't have the opportunuity to miss blocks, drop easy catches, run wrong routes, nor fall on his ass, right?
-
Yes, he did play, especially well under the circumstances. Weather conditions would seem to make run blocking tougher when going into the wind, because the defense knows that passing is difficult.
I truly hope to see more from the kid.
-
That WAS a very nice catch. Did you notice just how furious Drew was when Aiken dropped that easy one?

R.Rich, from where I sat, some of the formations seemed odd as well. On one play, after a great sack, I saw Edwards downfield in pass coverage. The pass was completed to McMichael. Edward was about 5 yards away, possibly more.
If a DC MUST send a dl into the secondary, wouldn't it be a better idea to send a fast guy such as Schobel?
Speaking of Schobel, I dont think a linemen can get much more athletic than he was on the second sack. He had the coordination of a cornerback. If only he was 10 lbs heavier!
-
Actually, he played pretty well last year before he got hurt and was IR'd.
I think some people on this board think that only draft choices who produce in their first or second year are worth a damn. It usually takes a guy at least two years to get up to speed, and usually three.
I like that Texas Aggie combo! I like that we were getting a push up the middle on the pass rush. To be honest, I think that is what has been missing more than the DEs. If you're getting push up the middle, your ends are going to get sacks because the QB is going to be forced to the outside. He won't be able to step up in the pocket.
I agree. Big Sam and PW are a wall vs. the run, but they rarely penetrate far enough to sacks opposing qbs.
The thing is, I always preferred SA to PW. That is why I hope this situation is resolved, but if it cant be, I hope we get something for SA. This would NOT be like cutting Shaw, you know.
-
I believe that overweight lineman to which you refer has actually lost a bunch of those lbs and has played very well so far this season!
I think Sam is too fat and all he does is occupy blockers. That's OK if you are commanding double teams and holding your ground ala Ted Washington, but I don't think it's all that great when you aren't. I think Sam would improve a great deal (ala a certain offensive lineman) if he would drop about 40 pounds.
Anyway, maybe he needed a little fire lit under his ass (OK, maybe a BIG fire! LOL!). BTW, I am psyched about Edwards play. He is the future!!
Watching Edwards makes me wonder why he produced so little in the past. I know, inexperience, but I wonder if he was held back by unjury.
For 2 weeks, he has looked strong, quick and instinctive. There is a wonderful target for a contract extension.
-
Remember the game where Big Sam returned an int. gor a td vs NE? As Adams was walking off the field, Bledsoe was laughing and teasing and approached him. Big Sam sort of brushed him away and was not laughing. He certainly is a tempermental guy.
This is a tough situation.
-
I have been complaining about Fat Sam's weight since he came to Buffalo. There are very few guys who can play with that kind of weight and be effective. In fact, Ted Washington and the Fridge are the only two I know. Sam waddles on and off the field, and he doesn't get much in the way of penetration. I don't think he has been requiring double teams, which is the whole point of having such a biug guy in there.
Edwards got two sacks and was extremely productive.
If Fat Sam left the game early, then he needs to be severely disciplined or released.
BB, I thought that you liked overweight linemen.
Just messin with ya.Ironically, Big Sam seems to have outgrown Williams! That said, he still makes plays, and I hope that the issue, however serious, is resolved.
-
I would hate to see this happen. Hopefully, things will work themselves out.

It's OK BiB. If we can somehow win next week, I will be at RWS on 10/31 and I guarantee a win to put us at 3-4. Bro, it beats 0-4. Enjoy!!!
-
could suit it up and play the other DE spot opposite of Schobel?
Obvisously he had a couple of sacks, however, he's a little more agile than I thought he was. If anything, he'd be a better run stuffer than we have over there, and the two morons we do have over there aren't sacking the QB anyway.
Would Edwards be worth a look at DE? It's easier to find someone to plug up the middle as a backup, than it is to find a good starting DE.
Why not try it.
No, we need Edwards at DT. This kid has now played 2 very good games in a row. PW is a free agent, and neither him nor Big Sam are young.
I am hoping that TD gives some thought to extending the contract of Edwards.
Think about it....when was the last time we had any pass rush from the DT position?
I hope that his progress continues!!!!!!!!!
-
Looking at these numbers, it is clear that the "Travis Loving" tide has turned.
They were a better football team today because he was on the bench.
-
No his play wasn't much different. The difference was for the most part his Rb picked up blitzes, the line blocked better, he had a running back not tripping over the lines on the field. Drew pretty much plays pretty consistent and you know what you get week to week. It is up to the coaches to give the team a chance to win. Drew won't win a lot by himself, but he rearely loses them without some help. Think about it, if we knock down the ball against Jags, Travis doesn't fall down repeatedly againt Oakland, Travis doesn't run the wrong way against NE (we may win that one), and Buffalo d stop someone on the final drive against the Jets we should be at least 4-1, possibly 5-0. I fail to see where Drew was a major failure in any of them nor did he come up big and win it for us. But he sure put us in a position to win everyone of them.
You tell it VA!!! In a way, Travis won us the game by virtue of being off of the football field.
Give travis a month, and he would be unable to figure out how to run those shovel passes, or he would have fallen on his ass.
Before this football game, I had seen enough of his bumbling idiocy. Now, we can only keep our fingers crossed that a team will come calling with a decent offer before the trading deadline, and that WM stays healthy.

Hey I thought Mcgahee was a gaurentee to get in the endzone on the 1 yard line
I never once thought Mcgahee wouldnt be a good back(and in the future be better then Henry) but you guys still think Henry isnt good and Mcgahee is already better....
Let me first say Mcgahee had a good game(GREAT 4th quarter).....BUT
He missed a block early, that resulted in the only sack....he dropped two passes, he slipped multiple times....he fell on a screen pass....For 3 quarters he averaged under 3yds per carry.....and looked worse then Henry has this season...
Then he took control in the 4th quarter, and did his part in a good win today.....
Right now I'm sorry but he isnt better then Henry....will he be down the road...I think so(and i hope so cause he is our future)....but right now Henry is still the better back.....
Gotta respectfully disagree. Imo, Willis is a stud, and Travis is a dope.

LOL!!!!!!!!
You are just completely correct! GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After 100 snide shots at McNally and another 150 at the OLine who hasn't played poorly, it's going to take more than one gameball for me to stop busting on you;-)
As for Jennings/Price, it doesn't matter what Jennigns wants or asks for, it only matters what somebody will give him, and that will not be anythign resembling Ogden money. I hope we can keep him at a reasonable price (and knowing Donahoe that will be the only way we do keep him) because he's been very good when he hasn't been hurt.
And as much as I've liked Price, I've thought he has not looked good this year and today was really the first time I've seen him be effective. He's a great back-up but I don't think I'm ready to hand him the car keys every Sunday.
Cya
Fair enough. I make the case that Jennings is playing out of position. Imo, he would make a very good OG or RT. At LT, I dont see a dimes worth of difference between him and Price.
Simon, Price played with emotion today against a pretty good defense and did his job. True, he was not hindered by having Henry in the game, but neither one is a prominent LT ala Pace, etc.
Give me the one who is durable and more cost effective.
PS: Thanks for validating my views about #28. He is as bad as it gets, and I hope that he is cut by noon tomorrow.

I respect your post and take it seriously. You continuously slammed me for posting unfavorable things about Henry.
It is great to see that you are a serious enough Bills/football fan to see the difference in a good runner and a good football player (MaGahee).

) but I didn't see 1 mental breakdown or blown assignment from the big guy. 
Henry getting run out of town

Well, he sits out 1 game, and the OL looks better, the qb looks better, there were far fewer mistakes, and his team wins. His replacement also carried the team when it counted and put away the game.
Yeah, the future looks bleak for TH in Buffalo.
