Big Turk Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Demetrius Bell seems to be getting better by the game, and the Bills seem to be noticing as well. Bills averaging 5.08 YPC running behind Demetrius Bell at Left Tackle...seems like he has some use after all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 What and a -5 ypc on the right? Averaging 3.62 yards behind Green and an even worse 3.08 yards behind Hangartner/Wood/Levitre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkc Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 If Bell becomes a player this is would be a huge boost to the rebuild one less big time hole to fill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 You lie! Our entire OL sucks, sucks I tell you!!!!.... I must be one of the few, sounds like you are another, that is really not down on our OL. Not saying they are the best, but I believe they are growing together, and barring injuries will be one of the better units in the NFL by seasons end and heading into next year. yes, I would like to see an upgrade at RT, but am really interested to see how they handle the Jets this weekend.

Roc Bronson Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I hate to say it but one of them due for an injury. The Rex will unleash pure hell on Fitz sun and this OL will be extremely overwhelm I truly hope I'm wrong, but I will take a Green is down from the commentator nothing major just a back spasm or something in that nature..

eSJayDee Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Unfortunately, based on what, about 10 carries? Not enough sampling to draw any valid conclusions. Depending on # of carries for instance, that 19 yd Spiller run might add maybe 1.7 yds/carry to the avg alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VA Bills Fan Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Perhaps, now just perhaps, when we put a QB in the game that demands even a little bit of respect for being able to move and throw the ball down field, teams will put less in the box and make our OL look better.

cmjoyce113 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 As of right now the Bills rank 13th in yards per carry. (per NFL.com) As for sacks given up we have allowed 8, which is good for 26th in the League. I am interested to see how this changes over the next few weeks without Edwards as QB. We only got sacked once last week and should be tested this week. In my opinion I am thinking we rank as an average O-line by the end of the year when it comes to run/pass blocking.

One of the better units by year end. You are daft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Long Beach Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 (edited) One of the better units by year end. You are daft. No, he's just wildly optimistic. With the notable exception of Green, it's a young line that's got some talent. If they all REALLY grow up fast and do so well; Bell, Levitre & Wood could form the underpinnings of a great line. But we don't know WHAT any of their ceiling is, IF they'll reach it and certanly not HOW FAST they'll reach it. If they are one of our better units by year end I sure hope its because they stepped up in a major way and not because everyone else has dropped off the deep end!

plenzmd1 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 One of the better units by year end. You are daft. Well maybe I am. We will just have to wait and see. I am seeing dome good things out this line out side of RT, and barring injuries think that by mid year they will have about 16 games under their belt together. That is when I think you will start to see the potential turn into reality. But what do i know, i like the Kelsey extension Just kidding!!!!!

wardigital Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Bell better hope he can run block, because he is amongst the Top 5 worst pass blockers in football, and his buddy Cornell Green is the only reason he isn't the worst pass blocker on the team.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Averaging 3.62 yards behind Green and an even worse 3.08 yards behind Hangartner/Wood/Levitre Green obviously blows, but it seems that Wood and Levitre would be much more effective if they had a better center between them. Hangartner seems to get destroyed on every play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever Since '86 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 perhaps we get lucky and wang turns into a player at left tackle and Bell can move to the right side . I can dream at least That's what I'm hoping for too...Bell has been pretty good so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Bell is great on the run because he gets out and runs people over. He's agile as hell. He fails in pass protection because he's not strong. A work in progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poz_is_God Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 if bell develops and stays away from the penalties, he could be the next jason peters. he seems humble enough to not want as much money as peters did too. wood and levetrie are only in their second year in the nfl and have enormous potential to be above average guards. hangartner is a back up playing on a bad team, hes just another melvin fowler (remember him?) maybe if we get another good guard, we could shift wood over to center. right tackle is self explanatory, hopfully wang gets in the game soon.

Depending on # of carries for instance, that 19 yd Spiller run might add maybe 1.7 yds/carry to the avg alone. It's funny, I rewatched both games on NFL Replay and I think that an objective fan would think Bell is developing as fast or faster than Wood and Levitre. I know that's sacrilege to those on this board who spout nonsense about our "stud" guards, but makes a lot of blocks and may not suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
