John from Riverside Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Whether it be EJ or Kolb who starts the season.....what this O line does is going to be a HUGE effector on how this team does...... - I thought Cordy had a STRONG rookie season.....but I have also thought that about past left tackles we have had holding down that position in their first year....then in the 2nd year they struggled a bit. - Cordy Glenn had a guards body coming out of college.......he did not play OT until well into his senior year but was improving a geometric rate with every college game. So his ceiling is so very high. - That said....I felt that if Cordy is to realize his max potential he needed to continue to work on his body and footwork.....him being able to dominate is going to be a huge factor to this year.

buffaloboyinATL Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Whether it be EJ or Kolb who starts the season.....what this O line does is going to be a HUGE effector on how this team does...... I think effector is my new favorite word. I agree, the progression of Glenn and the line in general will be a crucial element to our success. I don't know who our new offensive line coach is, but I hope he is up to the task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Cordy played very well out of the gates but he suffered a high ankle sprain in week 4 vs the Patriots. He didn't return until week 8 against the Texans and the injury affected his play the rest of the season. Also there were a lot of injuries on the O-line last year with a lot of juggling of positions around him. I expect Cordy to become an elite tackle.

Cordy Glenn played 4 games at LT in 2009 and I believe started all 14 games at LT his senoir year and since when is 6'5" and 345 lbs a guards body? I honestly thought this was going to be about getting Glenn signed to an extension which made me chuckle Edited May 13, 2013 by Max997 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickelCity Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I believe Cordy will become one of the top LTs in the league. Granted he has a limited body of work, but he was not playing like a rookie last year. I was very impressed, and expect him to continue getting better.

BillsVet Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Ok, let's get it all out....are there any other "untalked about" "effectors" on the team we need to mention? Cordy Glenn performed like an erector set at the beginning of the season. Then he fell down when the offense was deconstructed as opponents figured out their scheme. Someone needs to rebuild the erector set so that the offense isn't negatively effected (sic). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockinon Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) I think with Glenn on the left and Wood in the center, they could put just about anybody in at left guard and be all right. The right side of the line though? Going to be interesting to see the percentage of pass vs run plays this year. I really don't see more run than pass because of how the league has transitioned to more passing. Kind of a shame when we have so much talent at RB. My guess is that CJ and Fred will still get plenty of touches because they can catch the ball too. Glenn does well at just about everything. His biggest weakness will be blocking speed rushers around the edge. Edited May 13, 2013 by Rockinon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSBill Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) Not sure why you say he had/has a guard's body? He seems to have the ideal height, wing span, and athleticism for the left tackle spot. Yes, he could improve in some areas, but he had a very good rookie season and there is no reason to believe he won't improve with a year of experience.

Buffalo_Stampede Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Urbik said all the bigger lineman are losing weight, I wonder what weight Glenn plays at. I always wanted to see him closer to 325lbs, rather than 345lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuntheDamnBall Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I remain concerned about the loss of Levitre but I am heartened by having a former OL coach calling the shots. If he can't get that right we are more screwed than the most negative people here think. So, fingers crossed. I'll admit I am really ambivalent about this year. The draft seems super-promising and there are pieces like Glenn, Spiller, Stevie, Wood and this year's picks that may yet take them somewhere. It's so easy to be cynical by default, though. The team hasn't earned a better rating through their play. Here's hoping all of these guys and their supporting cast can take the next step under a rookie HC.

NewEra Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Quite possibly Buddy's best draft pick. I think he'll become an elite LT if he can stay healthy. For EJs sake, lets hope he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 If the Bills new offense emphasizes a quick passing game, that will make up for subpar pass blocking. It removes the effectiveness of pass rushers and puts more pressure on the DBs. Hope the line can run block to open running lanes for the RBs.

3rdand12 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Cordy is a hard working smart kid. He is going to do what coaches tell him . and do it well. Be great to see him this year starting without injury. He held off some elite players within his first 4 games as a rook. Pretty impressive i thought. RT ? Pffffftt ! Franchise LT ? O line will be fine. Buddy said so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eme123 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I think Cordy Glenn moves to LG. Bring Hairston back to LT and Pears at RT. Glenn would be a bruiser in the run game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His biggest weakness will be blocking speed rushers around the edge. Which is why some evaluators had him at RT or G in the draft. His footwork, and agility doesn't equate to an all pro LT, unless those improve. All that talent at RB doesn't mean much if they don't have a hole to run thru. Plus, the fact that so many here seem to think that because you have a good LT and center you can simply plug anyone into the LG position and be fine. you can't, and they won't be fine IMO. It will be interesting to see what effector Marrone has on that line as the team didn't replace LG Levitre in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorkington Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I agree that the OL will make or break our offense. I'm confident we will find a serviceable starter, at the very least, between Kolb, Jackson and Manuel. We have proven talent at RB. Our WR group should have 2-3 talented WRs in the group (SJ, RW and ___). Our OL, while getting a lot of praise, was actually pretty weak in holding protection on passing plays last year, but was great at run blocking. We'll see if Andy's departure hurts us... That all being said, if we have the same defense as the last few years, then the offense doesn't matter a bit, heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
