Since Polian left, the Bills organization has been unable to identify and build a quality OL.
Since Modrak has been with the Bills they have used 2 picks in the top 3 rounds on OL talent - whiffing with Mike Williams and hitting on the injury prone Jonas Jennings who was let go to our free agent dumping ground - SF. The Bills have drafted some players who looked promising, like Merz and Pennington, but were let go before 2 years.
Maybe John Guy is to blame for his assessment of the free agents they have bruoght in like Tuten Reyes, Greg Jerman, Bennie Anderson, etc. Last year they got better than usual performance out of their OL free agents - but arguably the production was not consistent with an investment of $75 million.
The 2008 version should be much better than previous versions, but is weak at C which has absolutely crippled the running game. If any starter goes down for more than a game or 2, the injury will wreck havoc with the Bills offense and Trent's development.
But the front office experts are convinced that undrafted free agents are the answer at LT and the perennially lousy Preston of the Yulon is the answer at the interior - contrary to his actual performance on the field.
Maybe Kugler will be difference -
