sb_bound Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I have been trying to figure out why on earth this is still a positional battle when Ducasse has looked like a complete joke out there compared to Miller. Can anyone shed any light on this? Is this an actual battle for the RG position or is this just getting Ducasse additional playing time to see if they want him on the roster. I know that Ducasse has to be one of the cuts if we are going to get that Comp pick. Maybe the coaching staff is just trying to gauge whether or not he is worth a roster spot compared to the possible Comp pick we could get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyToughII Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Cut both, put Groy in there. But then again I deal in Common sense, seems our OL coach doesn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJBobby Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Castillo doesn't like Miller, doesn't think he moves well enough or grasps the Zone Concepts, hence trotting out his project in Ducasse. It is a joke that Groy has not been in that competition from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMF2006 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 VLAD is Bad. I hope they are making more cuts later today. If they don't cut him before PSG4 I bet he goes down and winds up on IR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which makes absolutely no sense since the team ran zone blocking 50% of the time last yaer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njbuff Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 This is my major pet peeve with this staff. Miller is a good guard. Find a way to make him fit. Period. The Bills don't exactly ever find good young G's. Now they have one and they are fvcking around with him. Makes no sense whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Miller is good. I hope the Bills are playing Ducasse so much just to protect Miller from possible preseason injuries. Otherwise, this situation is so Classic Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sb_bound Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 I just don't understand what the coaches are seeing that we aren't. Vlad is getting beat like a red headed step child on a regular basis. He has been horrible. I just don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He likes to tinker with the line ALA Marrone That is basically what my coworker, a Ravens fan, said to me when they hired Castillo and signed Vlad. It would make sense if he was good, but damn, he just looks bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Have we reached the point in the NFL where it is such a coach's game that scheme trumps all? I was raised to believe that good coach's adjust to the talent available. I'm not sure that is the case at this point. Are we headed towards college basketball like coaching control?

"John's the young, hungry guy who's started since he's been here (arriving as a third-round pick from Louisville in 2015). So he's fighting for his life right now, and those two guys are still battling it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloFan68 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 It is a little curious that they make the cuts they do, when they make them. Ducasse has been terrible so far & I would have cut him already right along with Twain Jones. Go Bills!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanfan Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 This and the Sammy trade are my two main disagreements with the new regime so far. For the life of me I don't see how Ducasse is better than Miller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
