26CornerBlitz Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 Buffalo Bills Offensive Line Battles Taking Shape When the Buffalo Bills first take the field during the 2018 NFL season, the team will field a very different looking offensive line than the 2017 vintage. With trades, retirements, releases, and position switches to account for, the Bills will have plenty of new faces in new places along the offensive line. With this in mind, it’s understandable that the offensive line battles have been of great interest to Bills fans in the early goings of the offseason, and with OTAs underway, that focus only intensified. While the Bills have promised plenty of shuffling along the offensive line throughout the spring and summer months, a clear pecking order has been established early on in the workout period of the offseason.

26CornerBlitz Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 6-5: Nathan Peterman with Howard and Jeremy on WGR (10:04) Peterman - just to have an opportunity to go out and compete is all you can ask for. To get reps with various guys, it helps build chemistry for the team. #Bills Peterman - we're always competing in the quarterback room, no matter who the starter is. We all get along really well. We can talk about things very easily, all open communication. #Bills Peterman - It's kind of just day-by-day right now, rep-by-rep with the quarterback competition. #Bills Peterman - I don't pay attention, listen to anyone about the quarterback talks. I'm focused on getting better every day. It doesn't really matter what everyone else thinks. #Bills Peterman - Daboll is a very creative guy, has years of experience in the NFL. He does well with explaining things, which is really helpful. It's been great to feel those things out in OTAs. #Bills Peterman - One year in the NFL made a huge difference for me, learned so much in my rookie season. Even learning so much from coach Daboll has been a big step for me. #Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I think it’s interesting that the author says there’s a long way to go before the start of the season. To my way of thinking there’s not much time at all. With just 90 days until the season starts for real, and so many restrictions on practice time, these guys better sense the urgency to kick it into gear. (It’s been six months since the playoff game in Jacksonville. Now there’s just a few weeks before things go live.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A number of Buffalo players were able to make impacts on the field in rookie minicamp and organized team activities, showing that they have the potential to make impacts come the regular season. However, it must be noted that there is still a long way to go until Week 1 of the 2018 season. It’s important to note that, even with a successful first round of OTAs, realistic expectations need to be set for the upcoming season. Here are five Bills that fans should temper expectations for in 2018. OC Brian Daboll QB Josh Allen QB A.J. McCarron WR Kelvin Benjamin DE Trent Murphy Boy... so basically temper your expectations for the offense itself. What exactly does this writer think our expectations are? Did he see this offense last year??? Yeah... I'll maintain my expectations that the offense will improve, thank you very much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another good report about AJ is very encouraging. Having him play well at this point of the year only helps the team, QB room, and Daboll's job of installing his offense. Tell your buddy thanks for the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any word on if McCarron is still getting all of the first team reps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't know, just that Allen is with the 3rd team still. I am pretty sure they're still rotating McCarron and Peterman with the 1s. Based on reports it will probably be only McCarron before long.

OTA pics released on BB.com show one of Wyatt Teller blocking while AJ throws a pass. Looks like LG. Might be just a rotation, but I'd be surprised if he doesn't get a sincere shot at winning that position in camp. I also pray that Miller beats out Ducasse for RG. Thanks for the news man!

greeneblitz Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 how do people think the offense will take a step back? Taylor had multiple -100 yard games, i think Allen, if a true franchise Qb will be able to put up yards and points even if that also includes lits of interceptions as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roundybout Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 What did they do, just give Phillip EJ's old jerseys? That's going to be a bit confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
