foreboding Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) Though what it will be, is no surprise to any here; yet still, Feliciano gave us a clue to the Bills offense with his statements. The OG is down 30lbs and said he's been all about conditioning and riding the bike. Feliciano said something like, "We're probably gonna throw 60 or 70 times. So I needed to be fit and fast." He smiled and added, "I'm so fast now, I need to slow down out there." Jon also said he is as healthy as he has been. The O-Line is getting ready to run with Josh and buy him time. I am so pumped. https://www.buffalobills.com/video/dawson-knox-the-versatility-we-have-is-crazy Edited August 9, 2021 by foreboding added link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotAct Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 smokescreen. We’ll probably rush at least 35-40 times per game, and then another 20 or so in garbage time after we’re up several scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) Last time I heard of a Bills offensive lineman losing a ton of weight over the offseason, it was Quinton Spain and he got cut a few weeks into the season. I just hope the weight loss doesn't effect his ability to anchor. Edited August 9, 2021 by Allen2Diggs 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafan Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Getting faster makes me think of pulling guards more for the run game. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

34-78-83 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 It tells us for sure that they are staying with the zone run-blocking scheme and not returning to a man based scheme like from 2 years ago. Zone requires the more athletic and lateral movement traits in linemen. Definitely makes it more of a challenge for folks like John to make the starting lineup, along with Singletary (as BADOL pointed out in another thread). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will reserve final judgement later but still have mild concerns regarding the interior oline as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I dunno if maybe he's below his weight target? Anyone know what kind of target range the OLmen get? Mongo has to be kidding about "we're probably going to throw 60 or 70 times" (unless he's talking about over the course of a practice?) For reference, last season the top team for passing attempts was the Steelers, who had an embarassing lack of run game. They had 656 pass attempts on the season, which averages to 41 times a game.

I don't think his play would necessarily suffer from being a bit quicker and in better overall shape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsgoteam Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 One thing to point out is that if he was overweight (I dont know if he was or wasnt...) but if he were and then he dropped 30 pounds it wouldnt be a big of a deal if anyone thinks he is going to be "light" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moss and Breida are more suited to it, but there's a chance Singletary can adjust and still be interchangeable between the 3 of them. He's a good pass protector like Moss is so... we shall see.
