John from Riverside Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 It all depends on how they run the offense........ Â We need to run the ball a lot more then we pass it......but I am not even worried about that with Greg Roman. We have TWO quality fullbacks on this team....just keep that in mind.

Kirby Jackson Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 The Bills roster is loaded. If you objectively look from the outside as Bucky Brooks did there are some great rosters in football that have QB issues. The Bills certainly fall in that category.

Juice_32 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Carpenter and Hughes could be considered "prow-bowl caliber" as well if you ask me. I'd probably switch Harvin and Watkins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebandit27 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Right now, with an untested O-line, that seems like a big reach... I am so intrigued by the OL this year. Â I cannot wait to see what improvement they're capable of with just a change in coaching and the instillation of a consistent identity. Â That's completely ignoring the addition of Miller and Incognito, the return to health of Glenn and Williams, and the offseason growth of Kouandjio, Henderson, and Richardson. Â It's going to be very interesting to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, that would be a lot of fun to watch.  Henderson - Glenn - Miller - Richardson - Kouandjio  I wouldn't say there's zero chance, in fact I'd put the chances in the "very possible" range on the spectrum of possibilities. Glenn's problems last year stemmed largely (in my opinion) to his health issues in the off season. Those are behind him and he's had a full off season to get into shape and mentally prepare -- unlike last year. Henderson played a ton of snaps, that experience should translate. He knows he can compete at this level now, even in a substandard scheme, that has to help Henderson going forward. Miller's a rookie, so who knows what his progress will be -- but guard is one of the easier positions to make an impact at as a rookie. Richie will need to show the time away from the game hasn't hurt him, the Bills seem confident it won't, so I'll be optimistic about him until I see otherwise.  But I'd agree with you that it is the dream scenario. A better line fixes a lot of problems for this offense. I hope it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â But watching the O line is going to be my focus. and then what the Offense does as a whole is much more intriguing than the Defense. I dont worry much for that side of the field. lol There is zero chance this ever happens, right? (Ugh, that's a dream scenario for me.)

Cordy miller Wood Richie Hendy K swings like Hairston would have and Urbik backs the Center and guard. but no matter which way you line em up it is going to be fun.

pbanach Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 It's been awhile since Buffalo has had that much talent on offense, let alone in the receivers corp.
