26CornerBlitz Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 AFC East Projected Ptarters: Patriots deep; Sam Darnold to Start? Buffalo Bills QB: AJ McCarron RB: LeSean McCoy WR: Kelvin Benjamin WR: Zay Jones WR: Jeremy Kerley TE: Charles Clay LT: Dion Dawkins LG: John Miller C: Russell Bodine RG: Vladimir Ducasse RT: Jordan Mills DE: Jerry Hughes DT: Star Lotulelei DT: Kyle Williams DE: Trent Murphy OLB: Matt Milano MLB: Tremaine Edmunds OLB: Lorenzo Alexander CB: Tre'Davious White CB: Vontae Davis S: Micah Hyde S: Jordan Poyer » McCarron has a strong chance to earn the Week 1 start, because Josh Allenwas the most undercooked quarterback prospect to get taken in the first round. It will be difficult for McCarron to keep the job, however, with that receiver group and an offensive line that lost two starters to surprise retirements. » General manager Brandon Beane indicated after the draft that a veteran or two could be added to one of the least experienced receiver groups in football. Jones had a nightmarish rookie season, and Kerley is a journeyman. This is a squad that Dez Bryant would absolutely upgrade, although the signing would have a Terrell Owens getting a key from the city of Buffalo vibe to it. » Shaq Lawson, the last first-round pick of the Rex Ryan era, figures to back up Murphy. The Billshanded the former Redskins player an aggressive contract, despite the fact that he's coming off a PED suspension and a torn ACL. » Bills coach Sean McDermott spun magic in the secondary last year -- White, Poyer and Hyde all return after excellent seasons. Now, the team is counting on McDermott to turn Davis' career around. There isn't much depth at the slot corner position. » It's hard to completely remake a defense in two offseasons, but Edmunds is the type of linebacker who can change Buffalo's entire profile on Sundays, like Luke Kuechly did for McDermott in Carolina.

Fadingpain Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Seeing the names all spelled out like that in black and white is not encouraging. Have a look at who the QB is, the WR corps, and the OL, in particular. We are going to be praying for the return of Tyrod by Week 4. 2 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm Spartacus Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Ryan Groy should be in there as a starter (center or guard). 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remember Groy stepping in for Wood and doing an admirable job, if I were Groy I would want to be the starting center for sure. I think the best 5 should play if that's not Groy then so be it.

jahnyc Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 The roster is being completely remade and they are only about half-way through that process. The defense appears upgraded and the offense seems to have lost talent overall without finding equivalent or better replacements. I assume the plan next offseason will be to upgrade the offense with free agent acquisition and draft picks. I think our offense will be our weak spot this season (and it may be very weak).

I agree but I think Groy should come in with the mentality to be one of the best 5 because Dawkins-Groy-Bodine-Miller/Teller-McDermott/Mills looks pretty good to me if all keep progressing its not super imposing by their names but they are all young hard workers who have experience to build on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawkins last year did an admirable job at LT and he's the defacto starter there now. And I know people love to dog on Mills but it looks to me like we're going with him yet again and to be honest, things could be worse, they just need to give him help in certain situations. He's not going to block Von Miller 1 on 1. So lets not ask him to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hate the OL yet, but that can change in camp and preseason. I think Miller can start but he did not play well with the new OL coach. Bills will not be throwing the ball much this year. Problem is teams will load up to stop the run. AJ McCarron and these WRs will not help at all keep DBs back. Dez Bryant won't change that. Jeremy Maclin a better fit.

Im hoping neither is a starter.. The Bills had the chance to take Crosby in the 4th round but passed.... I’m hoping that means that they think McDermott might be ready at RT...

With Wood and Incognito starting makes sense to move Groy to Guard and start Bodine as a Center unfortunately. We shall see how it goes... Alabama has always had good linemen even when their talents didn't translate to the NFL. At this point we gotta hope that Dabolls scheme is just that good. We all thought our linemen sucked the year we hired Roman but we turned into one of the best. It's not the individuals... It's how well they play together that makes a great oline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
