Got_Wood Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Take a look at their rushing stats through 5 games: 252 rushes, for 1,655 yards, 18 TDs, and a 6.5 yard per carry average. Obviously LaMichael James is a special running back, but it doesn't matter who they put in the backfield this season. They rush for over 6 yards a carry with any running back they put back there. Seems like a good place to start when looking to improve our o-line. Hire their o-line coach and take a hard look at Bo Thran, Mark Asper, Carson York, Jordan Holmes, and C.E. Kaiser in the next draft. And don't rule out the possibility of a dual threat QB in Buffalo's future. A guy like Denard Robinson or Mike Vick would be exciting to watch with Spiller or any of our RB's running along his side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternOHBillsFan Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Nobody has the stones to draft offensive linemen in bulk; they would rather go for flash and speed, obviously. The days of drafting a Fina or a Ruben Brown have passed the Bills by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playman Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 i did. mainly to have a good look at luck. but that was an impressive performance by the ducks. and im quite sure if we would pick 45 players from both teams combined wed be instantly better than now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got_Wood Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 Fitzpatrick was a better rusher than any of our "exciting" RBs yesterday. 9 TOTAL rushes between 3 guys. It doesn't even make sense to hoard 3 talented guys when you don't use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozymandius Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I think Chip Kelly is the key, not Oregon's o-line coach. But he is staying at Oregon, and college football is so different from the NFL anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bflojohn Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Oregon has another of Clay Matthews' sons at LB, so I'll say it now, hopefully we grab Casey Matthews in the 2011 NFL draft. Why screw it up twice?? All 6' 1" and 243 lbs. of ILB. Would look good next to Paul Posluszny!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertpaul49 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I don't think it would work, they got a lot of traction out of the option. It seemed a lot like the wildcat. Oregon looked really good, but I honestly couldn't tell who might make it in the NFL. I guess the running back, but he seemed more like a 3rd down running back like Meggat. Luck looked good. I'm probably going to be watching more Stanford football then Bills future. Thinking of next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
