BillsFan4 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 1 hour ago, Nihilarian said: Are you forgetting how bad Whaley's offensive lines were and that was with Wood, Glenn. He brought in guys like Chris Williams for 4 years at 13.5 with 5.5 mill guaranteed and the guy lasted 3 games! He also brought in bums like Doug Legursky. It was Rex who wanted Incognito signed and Richie made a huge impact to both Wood, Glenn as they both elevated their play next to him. Rex was also chasing OT/OG La'el Collins who ended up signing with Dallas. It's my take that Juan Castillo the Bills O line coach/ run game coordinator is telling the Bill FO that he can get better results with the players on the roster. Something I find very hard to believe. Castillo should have been fired along with Dennison last year. Currently the Bills are ranked 29th in run blocking, 26th in rushing attempts, 25 in rushing yards. Man, what a far cry from last year when the team was 4th in attempts, 6th in rushing yards 15th in rushing TDs, 14th in YPC average. And two years ago the Buffalo Bills were #2 in rushing attempts, #1 in rushing yards and rushing TDs and yards per carry average. Yeah, but 2 years ago, 3/5ths of our offensive line was different. We lost Glenn, Incognito and Wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihilarian Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 1 hour ago, Steve Billieve said: Easy to do when half your pass plays turn into running plays. Exactly what this years current team needs as Allen is a very mobile QB. A running game is a QBs best friend which is often stated by NFL people and it should be even more so for a rookie QB. Allen would do so much better with a solid run game working for the offense as it would take so much pressure off him to be the entire offense. He could pick and choose his pass plays in a run option offense if the run game is working. It is imperative that this team go back to its run first roots and build a power run game. The Bills O line did look like they were better at run blocking over pass blocking in the preseason. Currently the 2018 Buffalo Bills are 29th in run blocking. I kept hearing all offseason from the Kool-Aid drinkers that losing Wood, Glenn and Incognito wasn't that big a deal. Well, it looks like a pretty big deal now.

Formerly Allan in MD Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 19 hours ago, ColoradoBills said: Jeremiah Sirles had 14 starts for the Vikings in 2016-2017 in various positions (LG RT). I'll cross my fingers. Having started doesn't translate be being good. Look at various players on the Bills, for instance, both current starters and reserves.

I was just posting he has previous NFL game experience compared to a lot of the players visiting that don't have any. Also having experience on a team with a good OL could mean something.
