Starting Lineup - pre-draft


Coach55

Recommended Posts

Ok - After all of the craziness that has occurred in the past few months, we are in a lot better of position than I previously thought.  Below is a comparison of effectively last year's lineup vs. today's.  We are slightly better going into the draft and are still pending 5 quality picks.   Outlook - Positive

 

Last year/This year

 

QB - Taylor/McCarron - Wash to slight downgrade - McCarron is an unknown - prob won't start

RB - McCoy - unch

FR - DiMarco - unch

WR1 - Benjamin - unch

WR2 - Jones - unch

TE - Clay - unch

LT - Dawkins - unch

LG - Incognito - unch

C - Wood/ Groy&Bodine - Losing Wood hurts, but a lot of people thought Groy was going to upstage him anyway.  Bodine was a starter in Cincy - wash

RG - Ducasse - unch (draft pick?)

RT - Mills/ unch&Newhouse - wash at worst

DT - Williams

DT - Washington/Lotulelei - upgrade

DE - Lawson/Murphy - wash to upgrade

DE - Hughes - unch

OLB - Alexander - unch

MLB - Brown/Milano - I am a big Milano fan - slight upgrade

OLB - Humber&Milano/Humber - slight downgrade (fill in the draft)

CB - White - unch

CB - Gaines/David - slight upgrade

S - Hyde - unch

S - Poyer - unch

Hey this is a good post. Not bad thanks it is better than I thought.

Im not comfy with Unch playing wide receiver tough. I hope we can upgrade there.

Ran a 4.4 forty at the combine. Could improve his route running, but could be a fine WR2.

who is unch and how is he playing all of these positions?

McBeane is very loyal and like to stick with those they trust. unch is one of those guys. 

 

Glaring holes are QB, RG, RT, MIKE

 

Milano is an undersized WILL. He is definitely too small to play the MIKE. I really like him, but I think he starts at WILL.

You guys really have no idea how much crappy oline play was negated because of Tyrod. QB is the biggest downgrade by far.

I agree with you. I still think Ducasse and Mills are terrible. 

 

The reason why the Patriots can throw together 5 undrafted or mid round pick guys and no one gets a sack is becuas Brady.

 

Tyrod often scrambled into sacks and was generally really terrible in the pocket.

Brady is not a normal QB. The Bills no matter who they get, he won't be Brady. It's foolish to even pretend any QB they sign will be anywhere near Brady. The Bills entire oline sucked at pass blocking. Whoever they end up with unless its Lamar Jackson will suffer.

Disagree wholeheartedly.  Tyrod held the ball longer than any qb in the league by a fair margin...if anything the oline looked worse because he didn't make throws based on timing and waited to see people open.

Tyrod scared defenses into spying him. The player who would usually blitz or cover in short zones had to spy Tyrod. We'll see what happens when the RPO is off the table. I think we saw some of it in the Chargers game.

People who don't think we'll go backward at QB for at least a season or two with what we have now and any rookie are fooling themselves.

Holy moly i cant read lol. I actually disagree with you. I think Tyrod was so terrible in the pocket that he caused sacks. He held the ball to long and would not throw the damn rock.

 

Either way our oline isn’t great.

If you think we're the same at QB with a rookie, McCarron and Peterman, fine. I disagree with you.

Preston Brown is gone.  Matt Milano is the only guy you can line up at MLB, and he played outside last season.  The Bills really need to get Will Compton signed.

Milano will have a tough time at Mike at 220 pounds. It just is what it is. Our MIKE is not on our roster at the moment.

If our system is designed to get the ball out quick and these guys get rid of it, i do think we will be better.
