BillsVet Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 The propaganda arm of the franchise speaks. Ergo, it must be true. We're one game into the 2016 NFL season and CK wasn't selected to start. If he continues playing this well, perhaps he's not a bust. It's still not good when a 2nd round pick doesn't become a starter until another player is injured. I also noticed Sunday that they had another player positioned on the left side of the line to help. So I'd hold the horses on declaring he's improved his game significantly. Not being an outright starter seem to bear that out, especially when the RT is a guy they signed off the street last year.
Coach Tuesday Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 Cyrus is going to get massively exposed on Thursday night. Hope I'm wrong, but he's in serious trouble. The Jets will make him think on the fly and move sideways, two things he doesn't seem to do very well...

He's been susceptible to getting beat with inside moves.
dorquemada Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 KOUANDJIO RAISING HIS GAME AT JUST THE RIGHT TIME FOR BILLS I watched him on Sunday, and thought he played well for the most part. When he's moving, he manhandled whoever the DE was for the ravens, like swallowed him whole. It looked like he got beat inside once or twice, but not even sure that was his fault and not schematic. I was pleasantly suprised by him, would be great if he came into his own, kind of like a House Ballard for our era
r00tabaga Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 Is Cordy practicing yet? Someone said 50/50 to play Thursday over at the Jets forum but nothing here.
26CornerBlitz Posted September 13, 2016 Author Posted September 13, 2016 Is Cordy practicing yet? Someone said 50/50 to play Thursday over at the Jets forum but nothing here. Rex just said this morning that they are not ruling him out for TNF.

r00tabaga Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 I'd still rather have Kujo than a LT with a bum ankle. Even Glenn.
dorquemada Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 I'd still rather have Kujo than a LT with a bum ankle. Even Glenn. Kujo's never going to get any better riding the pine either. Unless the Bills are making a legit run this year they need to find out what they have in him for real

Unless the Bills are making a legit run this year they need to find out what they have in him for real Agreed 100%. Plus I think that Kujo really struggles from the right side whereas he looks more natural at LT. I can't explain it but its almost nite & day. Someone here said it was b/c of his right knee but I'm not sure it's that simple.
dorquemada Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 Yeah, he had some whiffs too, but I'm sure I saw at least a couple plays when he made 90 (94?) look like a child. The point is, OL doesn't come strait out of college ready to play like a RB, especially since CK is pretty young still. It's not like the Bills have a lot of other choices here either
Bocephuz Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 Yeah, he had some whiffs too, but I'm sure I saw at least a couple plays when he made 90 (94?) look like a child. The point is, OL doesn't come strait out of college ready to play like a RB, especially since CK is pretty young still. It's not like the Bills have a lot of other choices here either He did have a few reps where he held up well.. but that's an epic whiff
dorquemada Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 He did have a few reps where he held up well.. but that's an epic whiff remember when Howard Ballard did same and JK got up in his face and raged at him? yeah, don't see Tryhard doing that, but made Ballard a better player
vincec Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) remember when Howard Ballard did same and JK got up in his face and raged at him? yeah, don't see Tryhard doing that, but made Ballard a better player I remember that it made Thurman get all up in JKs face in response and caused a major incident that Bill Polian had to step in and resolve.

Doc Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 Agreed 100%. Plus I think that Kujo really struggles from the right side whereas he looks more natural at LT. I can't explain it but its almost nite & day. Someone here said it was b/c of his right knee but I'm not sure it's that simple. It's not so surprising when you realize he's played LT most of his football career.
vincec Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 Yeah, there was this. But on the other hand, Suggs had so much trouble vs Kouandjio that Wilcots started talking about how you could tell he wasn't really back to 100%. I guess if you get blocked by CK you must not be fully healthy.

Groy was in as "TE" to help as Dray was out. It was a desperate measure. not a knock on Cyrus. That game got away from Roman and Co. Cyrus is going to get massively exposed on Thursday night. Hope I'm wrong, but he's in serious trouble. The Jets will make him think on the fly and move sideways, two things he doesn't seem to do very well... you mean tested i hope. Have some faith in Kromer and Richie for a quarter at least Man !
Rocky Landing Posted September 14, 2016 Posted September 14, 2016 I've been rooting for Kujo ever since I found out how he spent his first offseason. He's worked his ass off to improve, and he's improving. He looks to be better this season than he was last season, and he was certainly better last season than he was his first (which, albeit, isn't saying much). But, there's no reason to believe he's reached his ceiling, is there?
