Offensive Line Grades

[Rich Stadium Original]

Saw this in passing today so I dont have the actual numbers at my fingertips, but some interesting numbers from the PFF folks.

Normally I take their stats with a grain of salt, but found it interesting that the top graded player for the Bills against the Dolphins was Edwards at about a 95.  They also mentioned that collectively through 3 games the Bills offensive line grades out at number 1, about 10 points higher than the number 2 team..and that spread is pretty significant.

Kromer is probably the most valuable unit coach in the league.  NEVER let him go until he decides to retire

Even the most talented person in the world will not be able to do much behind a sieve 

 

If you're offensive line is a bunch of turn styles nobody will look amazing 

 

Josh's Ascension also coincides with the growth of our offensive line.. this is a salary cap League 

 

Give me the big boys up front and let Josh make players around him better opposed to giving him tons of fun toys to play with and a Joe burrow line 

 

The bills absolutely know what they're doing

Bills talk at 2:58:25 for anyone interested

Kromer is amazing, I hope he coaches here for the next 20 years.

Are you suggesting the Bengal's strategy is not as wise as Beane's 🤫

Yes, buy him as many lawn chairs as his heart desires.

 

Throw in a few bistro tables with umbrellas if necessary... whatever it takes.

Meanwhile, in Madden, O'Cyrus Torrence is a 73 OVR and David Edwards is 75 OVR !?!?! Come on now.  This might be the best OL in the NFL.

 

To put it in perspective, Hamlin is a 74 and Landon Jackson is a 73. Smh.

Not surprising. I thought McGovern had the toughest go on Thursday. The tackles lost of few reps but they were otherwise solid as a unit. Definitely a strength of the team that doesn’t get enough recognition.

Yeah, credit all around: Kromer, the players, Beane, Brady. It looks like we're seeing that a rare synergy of five players all in or just reaching their prime in a system they've had three years to learn from a first-rate coach--just when the team has the best quarterback and one of the best running backs it ever had. 

 

It's all coming together (he says, fighting the impulse to list concerns).

Last season they were in the discussion for top 5. It's probably time to argue if they are #1. Maybe Philly's line slightly edges them out. Denver's OL is also underrated.

Last year they were a firmly top 5 Offensive line. I would say only the Lions and Eagles had a better oline firmly. This year they are picking up right where they left off

Reminds me of one of the keys to the Patriots dynastic run - they kept their amazing O-line coach Scarnecchia. I think he coached for them for 19-20 years and even towards the end when he wanted to leave, they kept begging to stay on their staff.

When you get a good one, do the right thing and hold onto the guy.

So this week PFF is good??

 

I do wonder if they will resign both McGovern and Edwards  or not.  They have also drafted their potential replacements so will be interesting to see as can't afford everyone.

Yes, we are currently big fans, and we’d like a free one week trial. Next week? Not so sure yet. We’ll have to wait and see. 🤷‍♂️

 

It’s a combination of good coaching and more investment in the OLine. It takes both, but we have both. Now they are working on the other side of the line, and the offseason investment does not feel like what we’ve done in the past. They want to win the LOS on both sides of the ball. Win the LOS and have a good QB and you can go a long way.
