The Bills Blog Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) You folks don't seem to be realizing that there are typically four tackles on a roster, meaning some guy of significance is likely losing a spot to McDermott, Wesley, or someone who's not even on the team yet. You can't roll with only three tackles, especially if you're talking about starting all three of them!

BillsPride12 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Did anyone else pay attention to Wyatt Teller last night? I was also very impressed with what I saw from him as well. He was knocking guys around all over the place. It's nice to see the nastiness taking form on our offensive line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmanfan Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 You can tell when a team is getting better when you cut guys that wind up going to other teams and starting. I suspect that happens with a couple of the O line guys this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Think about this and try not to shutter: Ducasse, Miller, Mills, Teller, and Bodine were all regular starters on our o-line last year ? ..... All five are in danger of not having a NFL job in a few weeks. The improvement in o-line personnel alone with make Allen, the WRs, and the running backs so much better this year. Even mediocre results from them will be huge improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You always move Ford to RT if Nyske goes down and have Feliciano or Long play guard. I think they keep 8 to 9 lineman. Tellar would be the 9th.

I'm not a Ducasse fan at all, but objectively I'll say Joe B. did a deeper dive into Ducasse's play last year and found him to be one of the better points on the line. Actually, the last two years which I think has more to do with assignments than anything else. That said, it's wonderful to see that last year's starting G / C can't hold the jock of the guys projected to start this year. Talent upgrade and superior production is believed to be on the horizon. Last night's glimpse was encouraging, but we do need to see consistency and get Morse out there to build the chemistry before we start comparing them to Dallas and Indy as terrific O-line units.

It seems, and I could be wrong, that they would rather have Ford at Guard at this point. The Washington guy played well last night, but I did see Ford whiff on a block early in the game and Sweeney must have missed a chip block on the sack of Allen.

McBean Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 We need Mitch Morse for the entire season. He’s the key to our offensive line. IF our offensive line stays healthy and keeps Josh upright, we might surprise a whole lot of people this season. Big if though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Morse, there are a few players who can play center in a pinch, and not look terrible. Bodine really is a center only and does look terrible at times. Feliciano, Long, and even Boettger can all snap the ball, and offer you something at guard as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boggles the mind how he started all those games in Cincy when they were making the playoffs every year. That was my thought, too. I was like, "How the heck did this dude start for four straight years in Cincy?" I assume they had somewhat of a different blocking scheme or perhaps the guards on either side of him made him look alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont have any problems with whatever combo of Feliciano/Ford/Nsheke they want to use as the Right side. ? I have no problem with Nsheke as I thought he might take the job when we signed him. However, I would love Ford to get that spot, too, if for no other reason that we are now short at back-up T. I know, I know, 6 or one half dozen. However, I was just counting on Ford being the tackle and if anything happens to Dawkins or Ford, Nsheke goes in. We are a little deeper at guard than we are at T, and now we have our T draft pick going in at G. Which, honestly, that is fine if he is good, but again we are thin at T.

They need another T on the 53. That extra T will typically not dress on Sundays but it seems to me you have to protect against injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please get better, Mitch. The Bills need to be able to cut Bodine's behind. The same goes fro Vlad Ducasse. I'll give Spain a mulligan on his holding penalty this time, but I don't want to see him make a habit of it. Mostly I don’t want to see him get caught doing it, ?
