Royale with Cheese Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I saw this coming after seeing Groy the last two weeks. I would have actually been more surprised if he wasn't benched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the best we could hope for is a couple of position changes or having Teller and Miller split reps for a while...maybe the competition improves the play..... This used to work for Seantrel Henderson...when he was in competition for a job he was a completyely different player 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a coincidence that we kept running left (with success) the second half of that game. Teller missed one pass blocking assignment that ended up in a sack and some folks are using that one play as evidence that he is no good. But, he was graded as the ACCs best pass blocking guard his last two seasons at Virginia Tech. (I'm admittedly biased on this matter since I'm a Tech season ticket holder!)

The only thing that made them self created problems is the change in defensive scheme (which your are not going to keep for one player) You think Edmunds struggled against over the middle routes? Preston Brown would have been a disaster..they actually would not have even asked him to do it because he cant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is how many quarters did we make a first down on Sunday. I think Gory got tossed onto McCoy, fracturing, or not fracturing, his ribs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 From Chris Brown's Quick Hits Presser Summary: Battles being waged on offensive line After leaving the door open on Monday for some potential changes on Buffalo’s offensive line, McDermott would not confirm that any had or would take place. He did however, leave that option open to him and his offensive staff. “We’ve got some guys in there that are battling and competing with that first group and that second group,” said McDermott. “So, we’re going to continue to look at that.” The Bills currently rank 31st in total offense, 25th in rushing, 31st in passing and 31st in first downs.

FistingBot Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I don't buy into PFF too much, but they have Groy ranked as the #33 center thus far in 2018... out of 32 teams in the league... Ouch. ? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See what you got. It can't be much worse. Per PFF, Ducasse is the NFL’s best pass-blocking guard through the first two weeks of the season with an overall grade of 91.3. He also had a team-high 88.3 pass-blocking grade against the Los Angeles Chargers during a 31-20 loss for the Bills. Miller finished Week 2 as the highest-rated Bills’ offensive player overall (pass and run blocking combined) with a score of 73.3. Between both Ducasse and Miller, the duo have only surrendered one quarterback pressure in the first two games of the season. 3) The player that surprised the heck out of me - I teased this out on Twitter, but one player's performance completely shocked me, considering my initial read on his game against the Chargers on Sunday night. That player is none other than right guard John Miller (some of you were right, congratulations!). It just goes to show how vital going back and watching the game from as many different angles as you can, so that way you get an accurate picture as to how players performed. Immediately after the game, I thought Miller had another continuation of Week One, where he looked just a tick slow and was part of the reason for the offensive woes. That was only the case on a pair of snaps. The rest of the game, Miller looked confident and was controlling his one-on-one's on almost a play-to-play basis. I even thought it might be time to see what rookie Wyatt Teller brought to the table, but after seeing the way Miller played in Week Two, I don't think the Bills should do that any longer. Along with Miller, Vladimir Ducasse had another strong showing (and debuts at number five in the season-long grades this week), Dion Dawkins played well against a tough matchup in Melvin Ingram, and even right tackle Jordan Mills had a solid day. Of the five, the biggest weakness was center Ryan Groy -- and that may be the reason that head coach Sean McDermott was hesitant to commit to the same starting offensive line for Week Three. It wasn't as bad of a performance as Week One for Groy, but with a veteran in Russell Bodine right there on the bench, the Bills could feel inclined to make the switch. In all, my apologies to Miller. I was wrong. He had a great game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand it, Word is that Castillo is a "my way or the Bench" kind of boss. Teller may be getting it done, but if he's not getting it done using Castillo's preferred techniques, his arse is gonna warm the bench until he does it as Castillo wants it done.

Hows he Looking at the NFL level? Brandon Thorn, one of the OL guys that I follow, absolutely loves Marpet. You can review some of his tweets about him (some with videos) here. Not sure how he'll hold up this year at LG but he's already got some really good tape at C & RG. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
