Sort of interesting about the 2015 draft Quote 8. Mitch Morse, Missouri: After the Seahawks drafted Justin Britt in the second round of the 2014 draft, Morse took over at left tackle and looked good after appearing at multiple positions in his previous seasons. Morse is a very smart player who seems very aware of the action in front of him. He understands his place on the line and can pick up advanced defensive line schemes with ease. Where he could struggle at the next level is in his physical limitations. Morse is a bit top-heavy and will lose his base at times against more powerful defenders. He's more an edge-setter than a dominating run-blocker. He also has limited recovery speed, and though many project him as a guard, his ultimate destination may be center, where he played for the Tigers in 2012. Projection: Fourth round ...... 9. Jamil Douglas, Arizona State: Douglas played every line position but center for the Sun Devils, switching from left guard (where he started in 2012 and 2013) to left tackle for the 2014 season. He was named first-team All-Pac-12 there but projects better as a guard due to size (6'4", 304) and arm length (33 1/4") concerns. At left guard, Douglas is more of a technician than a mauler. He has a really nice kick-step in pass protection, he gets to the second level quickly and with a plan, and he's mobile enough to pull and slide effectively. However, he has a tendency to play too high at times, losing strength and leverage, and he may be a better fit for a quicker, zone-blocking line in the NFL. Projection: Fourth or fifth round ... https://www.si.com/nfl/2015/03/31/2015-nfl-draft-positional-rankings-guard-laken-tomlinson ..... MY TAKE ON ALL THIS IS THAT WE HAVE A VERY EXPERIENCED GUY COMING IN WHO IS NOT GOING TO MAKE ROOKIE MISTAKES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolishDave Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 All I know is that this offensive line is what is keeping this Bills team from being consistently dominant on offense. It is hard for the rest of the offense to polish their execution if the offensive line isn't executing at a high level with consistency. Thank god for Josh Allen being able to sometimes pull magic out of his ass when need be. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford will be the issue today, not Ike. Ford and Feliciano are the weakest O-linemen and they'll both be gone next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 “Douglas started the 1st 4 games for the Titans in 2019, ended up starting 5 games that year.” Did he get hurt or was he trash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got 2 blind mice at RB and 5 guys incapable of zone/man run blocking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ike has played better than Mongo this year Actually last week Ike needed help and Feliciano had a good game.

Some shared my worries but others talked about "continuity." They asserted that keeping the same offensive linemen together would result in a better performance this year. At midseason, I say: So much for continuity! Continuity in our situation means simply that players with mediocre skillsets continue to display mediocre skillsets. That's the continuity we're experiencing. Beane really needs to address the OL next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I don't agree with Joe B. I watched the all22 as well. Yes they gave Ike bits of help but I disagree completely with him on Mongo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can supposedly play anywhere on the line, but he never gets significant playing time. My guess is because he's the only player that can play all 5 positions. Makes it easy for a quick injury replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 When the starters are bad, the backups are usually even worse. Any injury to the starting five scares me. Finger crossed, we'll get a pleasant surprise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cantankeous Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) In your opinion. Bills had the same opinion about Teller.

If the Bills had "the same opinion about Teller" (a 2018 draftee who played half a season at LG on a very bad line and was traded at the last minute before the 2019 season) as I express about a literal, 7 year vet with 11 starts scattered across those years - that would be silly of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
