This off season is special on that not only did we bring in a massive influx of talent, but we have an owner, GM and coaching staff that have for once have a plan and the money, discipline & will to execute the plan.
He's now a Bill. The new coach and FO is behind him, I imagine the locker room will support him. So clean slate for all. Just hope he can still kick some ass on the line and stay in check.
Other than Brown, your above line up is virtually the same as Pettine had that coughed up so many yards to the run. But you are right about Rex's D being very tough to run on. Wonder what the difference will be with similar personnel?
My wife asked why I was so cranked up today. I told about the voluntary workouts, new coach- early team activity opportunity. She says "so a bunch of players are coming in to lift weights and this motivates you to be online and listened to your radio app all day." She then reminded me of all the times I told her the team was on its way to great things and to then have the Bills crush our hearts and hopes. I then assured her this year was different. It is isn't it?
I would hope. It's a luxury of riches. If we add a 5T guy does KW sit? I Think JBoyst's 3/3 description clears it up a bit. I just think I Hughes, Brown, Dareus, Bradham and Mario need to be on the field most of the time.
I think Jboyst has a point about Spikes. We gave up beaucoup yards on the ground under Pettine and I don't want a return of that. I also struggle to see Jerry Hughes in this mix. A new 5 technique end means Hughes or Bradham may be off the field. They need to play. KW is great but he's not a 5 technique guy.
We just need a QB that can hit a slant, lead a receiver and make more than just one progression. A little accuracy, quick read and delivery will make Roman's offense a powerhouse. Issue is can any of our QB's do it.
My first take as well. Maybe that will change when he returns a few kicks for TD's or takes a dump off all the way. But I still fret about this OL. It doesn't look like a bully to me.
