And since they have him in bubble wrap (is he even playing in these scrimmages?) it makes sense that they’d look bad.

If he's a liability again (or once again injured), the Bills willl need to keep Dawson Knox in, as they did last year. This will depend on whether the Bills have a capable swing OT to shore up Browns spot until he recovers. Can't fault a player for a work related injury in any field.

I’d take josh behind the bills oline over the dolphins and jets situations by a healthy margin. Jets have a little more upside than the dolphins do though…if becton and brown can stay healthy they have a shot to be decent but the dolphins look like a pretty flawed group even with injuries turned off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least our fanbase's new method of trolling with fake quotes is more clever than Miami's "lulz we have more Super Bowls than you" that is about 90% of their trolling attempts.

Is it that big talented athletes gravitate toward defense so there just isn't a pool of available talent? If so, shouldn't this be self-adjusting (for example, the Spencer Brown types bulking up and moving to the O line from defense or TE?) Do we need rule changes to reestablish some kind of balance?

I have always believed that in pass protection the advantage is to the guy making the moves to get around another guy. It's always been that way. In run blocking the OL has a bit of an advantage knowing what their job is going forward. The passing game has enough advantage as it is IMO. It's just the way it is. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding based on reading/hearings things over the years: College football (and HS) went to spread offenses in the 2000s and quickly that offense became popular in the NFL. The spread offense is still popular in college with some adjustments and has success so players want to play on winning teams. The main thing there is to get people in space, even when they run the ball it is getting the O-line downfield. Therfore the priority is leaner faster players that can run on the O-line. This body style is what will get you recruited to top NCAA programs so that is the body type the top HS players go for. The big fat boys arent recruited as highly. The top programs feed into the NFL. The leaner, faster O-lineman arent as capable to just anchor and block, theyre trained to run more. The flipside of this is the hulking neckroll downhill LB. That player isnt useful against a spread offense where you need lateral quickness so it went away and a Nickel DB is now a base defense. Remember the days when we would argue about 3-4 or 4-3. Now we are only have 2 starting LBs. Its all just long term trends. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea theres much more space to run on the far side of the field. If you get a couple O-linemen out ahead of a fast QB/RB on a pull sweep concept they can really take off. Plus the QB play in college is generally worse so running becomes more efficient than running in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
