Josh needs to run it more

Lake Erie = The Bermuda Triangle of NFL Football

Great work Bocephuz, and the evidence of a quality post is the informative discussion it leads to. You win! A few thoughts: RT to improve the overall quality of the line, its a no-brainer, do it. Teller has much to work with, he seems to have grit, game smarts, and he certainly has the raw strength to work with---if he becomes a Richie Incognito level player "on the field," that position is set for a good number of years. But, I would apply the same logic above about DD here, if a better LG is attainable, then yes, move Teller to the right side and the entire line improves. I think Bodine is serviceable at Center. A bigger priority is the right side, however that can be done--new people there, or the move options mentioned above. As a few have said, although the preferred way is to slot people and let them grow, the biggest objective is to get the five best O-linemen on the field. Doing so may mean changing a few positions where it makes sense. The team now has franchise level QB talent, now it needs to give him the maximum opportunity to grow into that. So, no matter how you do it, get your five best players out there.

It's unfathomable just how much so. I still can't believe how bad he was for the Bills? I have this feeling he just wanted out of Buffalo and did everything he could, or couldn't, to get his wish.

Apparently not, according to the statistics?????? But if you just want to win the argument, I'll call it: You win, now we can all move on. Thank You.

a two-year school, kind of a football prep school

I agree and I think if Bodine comes back totally healthy, that position is covered, focus on guard and tackle improvement. One other big need for the online, NEW COACH. I truly believe that is the first position that needs to be changed, then we can build from there. Miller and Mills handing out hall passes to the Jets d-line.

This is a joke, right? You are really funny. .... The only person taking you seriously is you.

That speaks volumes. Considering most of the KB & Holmes stats are Benjamin's, makes my loath him even more. I hope he costs the Chiefs a chance at the Super Bowl with a dropped potential game-winning pass in the AFC Championship game. Then the entire world will see what we saw this season.

I think a lot of those bruises can be assigned to his offensive line, or the lack thereof

Is thread management like a game management QB?

You realize you're talking about a rookie here right, what does he have now, 9 games?

On the bright side: We had a 100-yard rusher again We also had a 100-yard receiver, is that a 1st for the season? Our draft position improved A lot of young guys getting valuable playing time Sets up the Patriots, they'll be taking us lightly ? Finally, our ST coach has sealed his fate

Go away

This loss is on Special Teams, and for some inexplicable reason, conservative play calling on Defense. Oh well, improves our draft position ?

How about a blitz, did we throw that out for today?

Aweful

Can we just release Clay at halftime?

So, I'm confused? Was he on our practice squad? the Browns? Or, was he a street free agent?

I think the point is, and that you rightly make: If there is a way we can improve the Oline with proven veterans, that is a better option than drafting them for many reasons. One, they have done it! Less risk. Two, related to one, any drafty is a risk, no matter where they were picked--the NFL is ripe with examples of high draft picks at every position who turned out to no be worthy of their draft status. Three, it allows you to go after other needs in the draft--and this could also be vise-versa, signing skill players and drafting lineman. Four, lineman generally take longer to develop, so the impact of drafting them takes time, it takes patience, do the Bills and their fans have the patience? Five, related to item four above, the one person who suffered the most for that online development time is the QB who is taking all the hits--can the Bills afford to pay that price with the new shiny toy at QB? Thus, I like the idea, but we know getting them is not as simple as wanting them. Nonetheless, if it could happen, I think it is the best way to build the Oline; that is, mixing skilled and proven veteran signings with your own draftees who are developing.

hahaha, definitely this

Everyone slows down when they look up to track the ball. The same thing happens in baseball, we are always telling young players not to do that, get to the spot, then reach to catch the ball.

agree, get the legend back

The only surprise here is Holmes, too?

It seems Boetteger is getting more snaps lately. I think he had a pretty decent pre-season. Let's hope he progresses to make a real impact. Interestingly, there seems to be no thought of moving Ducasse back to the right side.
