Isaiah Mckenzie could be in for big workload in slot position
‘”Confidence wise, I don’t think that has ever been a problem for him, jokes, I don’t think he runs short of jokes, ever. He likes to talk as you know, the biggest adjustment is going to be, the potential to step into a full time role now, teams game plan for you, there is more film out there, it’s an adjustment, there is a toughness piece that comes with. That there is more of a chance for good plays, yes, but there is a chance for some plays you want back, bad plays, so you have to know that through the course of the game adjusting to that is a bit different than a full-time player, game to game or even within the game as a part time player,” McDermott said.’
Carucci Take2: As Bills’ O-line struggles with lack of continuity, D-line thrives
‘Generally speaking, linemen tend to benefit the most from padded sessions because they’re involved with contact on every snap. The Bills aren’t able to see exactly what they’re striving to build with their revamped line, especially given that the major offseason free-agent addition to the group – veteran guard Rodger Saffold – has been on the non-football injury list since camp began due to rib injuries suffered in a car accident.

‘The Bills had their first padded practice Saturday, giving a bit more insight to how the team will take form this season. Still, the offensive line is missing key players right now. While it makes it harder to evaluate the unit as a whole, it has given the team a deeper look at backups.

It’s a contrast to this time last year, when the emphasis was continuity and returning starters.’

But that depth has already been tested through the first few practices, and while it has opened a few holes in the running game, the Bills’ O-line hasn’t looked promising going up against the team’s top pass-rushing unit.’
