jwhit34 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Again I have to ask: does anyone care that Groy has never taken a regular-season rep as a guard, and has very limited reps at the position in preseason work. It seems like almost every year that, when asked about OL combos, coaching staffs always say they are looking to have the best 5 players comprise the OL. On top of that, McDermott (and others) emphasize that the interior line guys have to be versatile. Groy fits the bill on both fronts - he is probably one of the top 5 and he has shown versatility. He is the guy who gets work in practice at LG when Incognito gets a rest day. It's great that he is a strong backup for Wood but get your money's worth out of him (he's amongst the top 15 paid and is #4 highest paid on OL).

machine gun kelly Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I can't see trading a previously successful LT. they are so hard to get, I can't believe we would trade Glenn. I can see Groy getting in the line up and Dawkins at RT. Miller has lost the confidence of the coaches Nguyen staff. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoTier Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Complete rumor at this point but interesting. Is this guy reliable? Originally posted in the shoutbox by Kemp2Warlick Benjamin AllbrightVerified account @AllbrightNFL 30m30 minutes agoMore Strong rumor circulating that the Broncos are sniffing the Bills out for an offensive tackle... The Broncos want to win football games ... not sometime in the future but right now. They understand the importance of having a solid LT protecting their QB even if he's only a low draft pick and likely a fill-in for their first round "franchise QB of the future" who is riding the pine. The Broncos are also the same outfit that are running the same defensive scheme (not necessarily the same defense) under their new HC and DC as last year because they've got the players, including Von Miller, who fit the old scheme.

3rdand12 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 He can, actually, be worse than Mills. Anyone else remember Cornell Green and Mansfield Wrotto? stop with that. jut upsets my tummy. We could go on and on about what Buffalo has thought would suffice as and NFL caliber O- line. Just odd how bad Bills have done with those Key players. Even Marrone messed up what Gailey had working decently enough. process. waiting, hands in lap. patience is a virtue. just excellent work my friend. I couldn't agree more going back to the Power Run game, but my guess no way Dennison's changing his scheme. We don't know that for sure kelly. But we do know there is plenty of pressure to get it sorted and quickly. No way Bills survive going as they have Offensively. I would like to mention Old Mans rant here. Agree. McBeanes need to correct this by now. Trust is one thing and Direction is another. I expect to be on alert watching that offense. Critical thinking and looking at this Coaching staff coming off the bye. Make those adjustments , and make them work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 @PFF Key stats and grades from the Bills win over the Bucs: https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-refocused-buffalo-bills-30-tampa-bay-buccaneers-27/ T Cordy Glenn, 85.6 overall gradeThe Bills offensive line was able to control the Bucs defensive line with ease for the most part, as they only allowed six total pressures on 38 passing snaps. The best player on the line was Cordy Glenn as he was able to control the pass-rush and also help open holes for the Bills running backs. Pretty darned good. Nice to see him back in with both the running game and passing gamed getting a boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmur66 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Cordy Glenn is rock solid and has solidified the LT position since day one. He was a beast to be reckoned with yesterday. I hope he stays right here where he belongs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 For all those who wanted to trade Cordy Glenn... look what a difference a top end left tackle makes. You don't know what you've got until it's gone. Anyone who remembers the dark days between Peters and Cordy should know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 Hopefully, Glenn stays healthy for the rest of the season. @thadbrown7 Cordy Glenn played 58 of 68 offensive snaps yesterday. Dion Dawkins got the other 10 plus one at guard when Incognito went out. #Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 Glenn logs almost a full workload Sunday Bills LT Cordy Glenn made his first start since the season opener Sunday, and though he might not be in full game shape just yet, he came awfully close to playing from wire to wire in the win over the Bucs. Glenn logged 58 snaps on Sunday, good for 85 percent of the total play time by the offense. Dion Dawkins came in to spell him in the first and second halves. Dawkins also had to step in for Richie Incognito, who missed a series when he got cut below the knee and had to get his ankle re-taped. Dawkins had 11 snaps on offense. The offensive staff will obviously review Glenn’s performance, but provided he came through the game well, the veteran left tackle stands a good chance of playing the full game against Oakland this Sunday.

Mat68 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 The price would need to be high. I do not think its a coincidence that Glenn is bank and the Bills running game improves. He is a beast in the running game. Something is bound to break with Henderson and Mcdermott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
