Coach55 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YattaOkasan Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Probably should add CB3 and WR3 too considering how much time we spend in nickel. Maybe TE2? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited March 20, 2018 by MrEpsYtown 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdogtim Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Tyrod did not follow his progressions or trust them the way Brady does. If Tyrod had that ability/confidence, then he would have been better and would still be here. Perhaps MCCarron or Peterman or the potential draftee do.

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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linemen keep their butt to the quarterback and are taught to protect the inside. You need to climb the pocket, which Tyrod didnt do. The protection cant hold up with the way he plays.

bigK14094 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 McCarron is likely starter imho. guys like Watson/Trubinski are few and far between. Even if we do the much discussed tradeup.......its less than 50/50 the rookie starts immediately. And, if McCarron does well, he never sits down. More likely, some sort of injury to just front office impatience would push the rook onto the field. Then the rook will get a chance to beat Peterman's record 5 ints in one half.

ColoradoBills Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 No lineman on the Bill's roster has blocked for anyone other than TT as the #1 QB in Buffalo. TT definitely is an unconventional QB and we all will see soon if/how that affects the current OL play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Climb this pocket? RG was beat nearly every play. You think that changes because Tyrod is gone? RT is also a joke. Richie is only good at pulling.

He got himself concussed in that Jacksonville game at the end because he wouldn't throw the damn ball. I get tat he didn't throw interceptions, but their is some risk reward to the passing game in the NFL. He was very average and a below average passer and did not make anyone around him better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
