Kelly the Dog Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Hard to tell from preseason. Henderson looked like a hall of famer in pre-season last year. He did start for the Bills, but ended up grading out near the bottom of the league. Very true and should not be forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) I thought the entire OLine play was solid---night and day from last year Edited August 16, 2015 by matter2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffaloed in Pa Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I thought the entire OLine play was solid---night and day from last year It was the rbs ,that made it go also. I`m telling you Spiller and Jackson are not that good.Much more power and speed to make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackInDaDay Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 agree 100% on Miller.. I honestly didn't know his number, so when i watched the game this am, i had to wait until i got an endzone view of our line to see that the big man with the quick feet was our rookie. he's gonna be Roman's new Lupati. BTW - did anyone notice Kujo manhandling the LDE on one our 2nd team's TDs? i thinmk we got a 1 and 1A at RT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justice Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I, too, was happy with the play of our oline. The starters gave Cassel a clean pocket to pass out of. Run blocking could've been better, but Felton completely missed his guy yesterday so you can't blame the oline for that. Let's hope they improve further with Richie in there. TT will be playing with the ones next week. He'll have more time to throw. He'll have a good opportunity to show us if he can throw with good protection. agree 100% on Miller..

Rubes Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Tough to get too upset with rushing for over 200 yards in a preseason game. What was it at halftime, like 125 yards rushing for us and 3 for them? That's how you win games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norton20 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 It's still a little early to get the bust made for Canton for Miller but I thought about 5 minutes into the game that the OL was much much better than what we looked at last year. They actually moved well. I never saw a pulling guard actually make a block last year. The schemes looked better and the blocking crisper. I am very curious to see how this plays out throught the pre season. Last night was encouraging on many fronts but OL for me lead the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Allan in MD Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Good line play, with help from the TEs and backs, can make all sorts of quarterbacks look good. Hopefully, these young guys keep building on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 I dont know about you guys but I am REALLY interested to see what Tyrod Taylor looks like with a weeks worth the 1s like Cassell got last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffismagic Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Erik Pears. Yeah, I finally just remembered his name. I was trying to block that out of my mind but then I was wondering who Miller was replacing from last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewildrabbit Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Even Fear the Losing has to admit our OL looked light years improved -- further proof that St. Doug was out of his element. I do agree, and it looks like this new coaching staff is actually teaching the players how to block. I realize the Bills were running very simple schemes. Even so, I'm not overly excited that Shady only got 16 yards on 6 carries for a 2.6 ypc average. Or that with Cassel starting against that Panther first string D he did an outstanding Trent Edwards impression with his safe, short throws. I really want to see the Bills line with a power run game make opponents D suffer this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowery4 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 It was. I loved our line play and our young rbs. Finally some really good run offense. Shady,Karlos and Bryce looked great. No need for anymore. we know you don't like Fred, why don't you make a campaign out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me it was, and it was like last years players had never used a blocking sled. With Cyril Richardson in at OG the line graded as the worst in both run and pass blocking. Then after Urbik replaced Richardson the line still finished last in run blocking in 2014. On another note, lets not forget that EJ was also the starting QB, and after he was benched Maroon also benched Richardson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the quote: Chris Trapasso @ChrisTrapasso 44m44 minutes ago "Last year, our entire scheme was inside zone. That's all we did. Now we have everything. Inside, outside zone, lots of power. Everything." Like I said at the time: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/172324-blitz-pick-up-and-chip-blocking-forgotten-rb-responsibility/?p=3306580 "Most of what I've seen in the running game is inside zone.

Canadian Bills Fan Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Yessir! Saw someone cut Miller knees and freeked out. I think we might something this year to get excited about. Looked like they were NFL caliber!! I know the exact play you are talking about. My heart sunk until I saw that everything was fine after the play was over Killer Miller!!!!
