Boatdrinks Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 29 minutes ago, Nihilarian said: It's kinda scary to think this team is going forward with the same offensive line players. Like some sort of magic potion will give them the extra talent on gameday or something. The plan to tank for real this year? Because Vontae Davis looked almost as bad at CB as did the line players on every string. Shades of Doug Whaley drafting EJ and then asking him to start with Erik Pears at OG. If that year's line (2014 because Pears had a -25 grade)was ranked 30th I gotta think this year's line will be Buffalo's worst ever. The 2018 Buffalo Bills leading the league...in sacks allowed and Interceptions. Scary for sure. While I don’t think tanking was ever a part of their strategy, the ramifications of cap purgatory resulting from cleanup post Whaley are real. Severe limitations this year for acquiring talent, made worse by Wood and Incognitos untimely departures. That 2014 OL might look decent compared to this. Your projection may not be far off.

Bills were broke before they started. bad hole to be in with 50 mill dead cap. Hope they look smarter next season after Free agency and the draft etc. Edited September 2, 2018 by 3rdand12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderGun Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I’m no o line guru, but I would’ve rather kept Redmond and cut Ducasse. Start Groy at G, Bodine at C and maybe Redmond overtakes him as the season goes on. Or Teller pushes For G and Groy to C, either way... they should’ve cut Ducasse.

Nihilarian Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Some of the current Bills O linemen aren't bad run blockers so If that's the way they want to go forward most plays they might be thinking that they will be okay. OTOH, when opponents stack the box and dare them to pass and they don't have more than 1.5 seconds because the line can't hold their blocks and the receivers can't get separation...well then things will fall quickly. It's all going to be on Shady to do his Barry Sanders moves and if he can't make it to the line of scrimmage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But most of them can run block. and some are nasty can get second level effectively. pass pro will remain the weakness until proven otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domdab99 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) The new punter had one helluva college career...not sure why they hated Schmidt so much, though. He was a perfectly serviceable punter, and often got it inside the 20. Hope they know what they're doing with a guy who didn't make one punt in the pre-season. And even though the J is silent in his name, his nickname just HAS to be "Bojo," right? The CB signing could be very helpful....I have little confidence in Davis or Gaines.

Bill from NYC Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I think that Bo Scarborough would be an interesting RB but not for the Bills. He is fast but he gets off the line a little slow. The Bills don't have enough blocking for him to succeed. They might as well sign a few more corners and employ the "process" of Jauron Ball.

sullim4 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Schmidt is pretty good at coffin corner situations when the team is near the 50 yard line or in the opponent's territory, but he has below average range on punts that need to go deep. I will say though that the situation is a little strange. How many teams bring in competition for their punter, proceed to cut the competition, and then cut the original player a day later in favor of someone who hasn't played during the entire preseason? I am glad they are trying to improve the team, but in reading through this guy's background, I'm not convinced that this new guy actually is better than Schmidt. Particularly in Buffalo where the stadium is below ground level and the wind screws with many mid-to-late season kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills drafted PK Gary Anderson in the seventh round out of Syracuse in 1982. Great college kicker. They played him in the preseason and he missed almost every kick including an extra point or two. They felt like they had to cut him because he couldn't make anything and they did. The Steelers picked him up immediately on the eve of the season and made him their kicker without ever having seen him up front or working him out and cut their own kicker. Anderson of course became one of the best kickers of all time, played with the Steelers for 13 years and then for four other teams and is the second highest scorer ever. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the video, the players all seemed to have a great time at the White House this year. His idiocy did not represent the team. Because this is a passing league, the defenses are slowly getting smaller and faster. Imo, this increases the value of a big back. Remember how well Karlos performed on the Bills? I want the Bills to get better blocking and a large tailback more than I want Bo specifically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
