WideRightRevenge Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Let's give him some run versus week 1 players Teller (6’5/314) made 43 starts on the Hokies’ line, manning left guard and allowing only five QB pressures (PFF) without a sack in 2017. Teller earned PFF College’s No. 9 run-blocking grade in the nation among guards, winning with a highly aggressive playing style. Teller showed up as a plus athlete in Indy with 75th-percentile SPARQ results and 30 reps on the bench. Long armed (34") with movement skills and a proven block winner, Teller offers legitimate starting potential. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JinxedBill1 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I think if the o line struggles again this week we will see some drastic changes. The two guard need to be replaced. Duccase is garbage. Miller isn't much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) The only reason Teller is on the squad is he was drafted with a 5th. He really isn’t that good.

Buffalo_Stampede Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Teller struggled the final 2 weeks of preseason. He had a chance but really didn't take it. The best option is Groy to LG and Bodine to center. That's how much trouble we're in upfront. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducasse graded out much better in week 1, he gets a lot a flack here, some deserved and some not. Not sure Teller is the guy but if Bodine replaces Groy it would not surprise me at all to see Groy replace Miller and not DuCasse. We shall see.

GRHater69 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 you can argue that it's taking O linemen as much time to develop as QBS. Eric Wood was on Sirius a few weeks back and said that a lot of college offenses operate out of the spread and do mostly shotgun. When these guys get to the pros they have to learn how to play with "their fingers in the dirt". Now I don;t know what offense Teller played in college, but I would imagine he needs time to adjust to the pro game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artmalibu Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Not for nothing, but if Teller is better than the 1 of the 2 other guys I think he would be starting. I dont understand how some think they can watch a game on TV and think they are better talent evaluators than the coaches in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really isn’t that good. The Bills are in trouble at guard. Teller did not allow a sack last year against big time college competition. He will likely get some starts this year. He has shown flashes and he's gonna be here for a few years. Let's not write him off after one preseason. He doesn't have to be an All-Pro this year, just better than the journeymen they have assembled in the middle of the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Angel Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Is Ducasse more a right or left guard?? Maybe plug someone in at LG and slide him back to the right. Teller needs to start dressing for games and getting some reps, what the worst that can happen?? One turnstile isn't any better than the other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabel Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 If any injuries to Miller/Ducasse happen, Groy will slide over and they'll put in Bodine. As for Teller, I kept hearing that while he was good from a physical standpoint, he struggled picking up the schemes and understanding defensive fronts. He may need some more classroom time before he's ready. I also think Juan Castillo just isn't that good of an OL coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njbuff Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 The guards who are unemployed right now are better than what the Bills have as their starters. Vlad and Miller are the worst starting combo of G's in Bills history, but a country mile. Teller must be something awful if he can't even be active on game days with these two turnstile's around. Then again, McBean isn't showing itself to be very smart with personnel decisions early on in their tenure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They continue to trot out the same garbage on offence while tweaking the defence every chance they can. They offence has been bad for a while and every offseason they patch together the offence while spending their time and money on defence that continues to look mediocre.
