Don Otreply Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 2 hours ago, Socal-805 said: + 1 I agree 100 %. Anypne who is not somewhat concerned at this point shoul dbe. If the Bills have to start the season with EITHER Bodine or Groy at C, watch out. I am not sure who is worse, but there was plenty of analysis and grading of these guys even going back a year to show they were probably the worst Centers in the league. This was a major rebiuld of the O-line, and if it fails, it might be very bad for Allan and this Team, and McBean. I may be wrong (again) but is Groy even on the roster? that, and counting Bodine we have three guys that can play center, not counting Morse. Me thinks you’re working yourself up a bit much at this point, just sayin... Go Bills!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Ryan Groy signed with the Saints back in May, he's there fighting it out for a spot as their backup interior linemen. Sooooo No he won't be on the Bills 53 man roster lol 5 minutes ago, John from Riverside said: I fully expect the OL to have its growing pains especially in pass protection...... THAT IS WHY YOU RUN THE BALL until the OL has jelled. Were fine Which sounds like a sound plan, until you take into account the fact that our Week 1 match up is against a hell of a stout front with the Jets under new management with Greg Williams. That Jets D is no joke, they added a lot of talent over there just like we have. If you expect to open up with a 60-40 run to pass and be successful against the jets and a shaky O-Line think again. This line MUST be gelled and ready to roll by week 1 or we're in for a VERY hard first game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, this should be our only slight concern. We have depth at the oline. Hopefully Mitch can get thru protocol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it will be five new faces if you include offensive (and that is not a misspelling) line coach. I thought he was a bad hire from beginning and coach McD dumped a good one to get his buddy.

Just Joshin' Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 So you would prefer last years line vs rebuilding? Did last years line concern you? What was that concern on a scale of 1 to 10? What is your concern for the current OL on the 1 to 10 scale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since him, it's been a cavalcade of bad to worse... question marks and piles of dog feces...

GreggTX Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 They'll decide on their starting 5 before the last preseason game and give them time to play together against MIN. From there, it's all up to those guys how quickly they can bond. I'm a bit concerned for Ford, but no need to panic this soon. I really want to see us dominate the run game on both sides of the ball. Oliver will take our run D up a notch with lots of TFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch the o-line get better. mitch is plenty smart enough to know what the plays are. Bills really need to find the back up. Bodine already showed he is not it when Oliver knocked him back into Allen. that what used to allow on game day. he will be cut imo. Long maybe as back up ? but they need to shift guys around now. i think we may have already seen the starting line on day one of practice. Perhaps Ford is relegated to bu to start the season though ?

formerlyofCtown Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) I am very concerned we are going to pick near the bottom of the draft this next year. Maybe even the bottom.? In other words @Heitz I think we are going to be a contender this year. I'm not concerned about anything at this point. I believe there is a dropoff from Morse to the next man up but even then this Oline and team are far superior to last year. I think the thing a lot of people are missing is how the hell we ever won 6 games with that roster. I think we are going to start hot, make everybody worry in the middle and then finish the season very strong.
