Less concerned with O-line than most...


Hebert19

Recommended Posts

This is going to be an interesting season.  I'm trying to think of an Oline that looks worse than the Bills but I can't think of one.  Yet Daboll might have the magic to make them look better than they are like Gailey did.  I suspect they are better at run blocking than pass blocking because individual matches can be exploited and obvious passing downs could be really bad.  Plus the WR talent won't help them out.  May need to throw to the RBs and TEs a ton.  It will be very interesting to see what happens!

Why?  

 

1.  Daboll - even watch his offensive system.  Quick hits, uses the backs and screens to slow rush etc.  Peterman is a good QB for his system because he gets rid of the ball quickly. 

 

2.  Shady - hes the best friend of an o-line.  In preseason no one was respecting the run (and Murphy made them pay a few times). No one was respecting the cutback.  No one respecting the outside runs etc.  When shady is in the game you can't just rush up the field like they were in the preseason...shady will take one to the house if you do.  

 

3.  4 TEs - I expect a lot of chipping from the tight ends like we saw in the first game of preseason.  We have 4 solid TEs all of which cam block...so expect a lot of help from the TEs in pass protection.  Chip and release for 5 yards a lot.  

 

Preseason is just that.  The pre season.   I dont think they will be near as bad week 1.   Their a run blocking unit and daboll will call an offense that supports that.  

 

We'll see if you're not so worried after the Chargers come to town in the third game of the season ...

Something of note here....TWO Bills O-lineman were claimed on waivers.  I don't what that says about the Bills line...maybe it's better than anyone thinks...maybe they can't evaluate line talent and cut some guys they shouldn't have?  ....I don't know....just saying for a team that had O line problems in the preseason, having TWO of your cut O lineman get claimed is a mystery.

After a couple years of Roman/Lynn we should know that the OL can be greatly schemed around............Wood was a steaming pile of **** at center for two solid years before Roman arrived and Miller and Mills have actually IMPROVED since 2015......so THAT is how bad they were back then.........and yet that 2016 offense was the best we've seen in Buffalo since 1992.  

 

And more specifically with Daboll his rep as an OC coach is based on his long run with the Patriots and they've made a living building OL's around very replaceable players.

 

Daboll and Jesus Christillo need to prove they can do it........but it CAN be done.

 

      

 

He was pretty good last year, but he had elite talent.

   i was thinking the chargers game was the 2nd game and at home, but maybe you get news a day late in the so tier.  i think the doom and gloom is..hopefully, overrated...like tsuggs going into his 16th year and yanda could probably be on the downhill side too.

 

  quick hits and the running backs out in the flats is the way to go. once we start moving the chains, maybe dimarco with some lead blocking can clear the way for the running game in the 2nd half. take em by surprise early and get the lead.

 

smell the blood and shutem down. joe flacco won't last the entire game. hughes and murphy will deliver the high/low......

Serious question:  when has Lesean " taken one to the house"? 

 

 

Isn't he in trouble for that right now with the law?

Absolutely. I'm just so tired of hearing about the worse OL in the league with a scrimmage as their evidence. If it happens at Baltimore , that's something to talk about. Just tired of hearing about a scrimmage

 

I'm tired of people saying "it is just preseason".

Since our oline was not solidified, EVERY guy on that squad (save for maybe dawkins) was playing for the starting job, or at the very least, a roster spot.

These were guys who's jobs were on the line to perform, and they didn't, and the only reason they still have jobs is that they sucked less than the guy behind them.

They still sucked.

Fair enough about the preseason games.  It is along with camp a fairly good place to evaluate talent (especially depth).

I won't go into why many of us feel the OL will be a big negative to the team as it has been talked to death.

I'm hoping for a small miracle and the unit is "serviceable".

 

That would be a large miracle if they were 'serviceable"

Do you know which 2 got picked up?

Ravens had a strong defensive unit last year.  They have a big defensive line and they have been looking very good in the preseason games.

 

I think our OL is going to have huge problems tomorrow, but I hope they surprise us and have a good game.

 

I predicted 5 sacks.  We'll see how it plays out.
