bigK14094 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 From Center to Left Tackle the OL looks good same as last year. Right side is a concern but Miller looked solid last year before the injury and Miller looks pretty good by most accounts at RG so far. Mills played decently last year and if he can just be a decent RT and the rest of the line hold the unit as a collective should be pretty good. Miller was hurt so bad last year in the final games that he did not belong on the field imho. I saw him in the Dallas game, and he could barely walk off the field. He should not have been out there imho. Healthy, who knows, but has to be better than last year post injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webster Guy Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 The line wasn't great last year but not alarming....and it's pretty much the same this year Better. More experience, no rookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked liked he was going to come in and be a starting caliber guard as a rookie last year. He started the season out decent a little up and down but looked like an NFL player. However he clearly was derailed by the injury. Hopefully he gets back on track the line seems to be getting better second year in the system.

NickelCity Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I have hope for Miller, certainly. But it's almost as if the line is less than the sum of its parts. I'm concerned about the OLine and lack of depth for sure, but it's hard to think about the last time I wasn't concerned about our OLine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills had the highest per rush average in the NFL last year in addition to leading the league in rushing. I'm not a huge fan of the right side's pass protection but to suggest the OL is bad - as a whole - is a little overboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a huge fan of the right side's pass protection but to suggest the OL is bad - as a whole - is a little overboard. That's fair, and I do recognize how effective our run blocking was. I suppose I am guilty of focusing too heavily on pass protection in my assessment (largely due to the progression that tyrod has to demonstrate), and my assumption that a starter will go down at some point. You could say that about several teams, granted, but it doesn't make me feel much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blokestradamus Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 We should all thank our chosen deity for this news. Just watching some of Elvis from last year, he would've destroyed Jordan Mills. Protect your inside? He'll blast outside and bend around you. Overset to protect the edge? Inside swim or a spin. Dude is better than I remembered. I think Dumervil is Noah Spence's ceiling, love them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I thought towards the end of the year Mills was starting to get it together a bit..... I still wanted to upgrade the position this offseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonborn10 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Suggs is 33 and has torn his Achilles twice. He should pose no threat when the game is played full speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still wanted to upgrade the position this offseason I'm a process guy. I value technique. As starting RTs in the league go, Mills has some of the worst.

Beef Jerky Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Im not that schooled on Balts players, how good is their Dline that play this sunday? Middle of the pack.

r00tabaga Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Their middle is really good. NT- Williams LB- Mosely FS- The Beard Won't be easy. Won't be impossible either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty McFly Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Middle of the pack. Especially so early in the season. Im not gonna under-estimate them but friends that are Ravens fans have told me their defense isnt as good as the legacy surrounding it this year. Their middle is really good. NT- Williams LB- Mosely FS- The Beard Won't be easy. Won't be impossible either! They got Weddle now! Tyrod better watch that Saftey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Suggs is 33 and has torn his Achilles twice. He should pose no threat when the game is played full speed. I don't want to underestimate them. And they definitely have a stout middle. That said, Shady and Bush's best skill set is running it over the edge. I'd attack there.

3rdand12 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 huge actually he's 5.11 starting OL same as last year. Right side isn't as good as left but "alarming" isn't the word I would use. hardly the descriptor that reflects the truth of the matter. They are actually "pretty damned good to very damned good" as a whole. Returning line for the first times in 63 years for Buffalo must feel like heaven some guys here ! I have hope for Miller, certainly. But it's almost as if the line is less than the sum of its parts. I'm concerned about the OLine and lack of depth for sure, but it's hard to think about the last time I wasn't concerned about our OLine. I think its trauma for you Nick. our Bills have fielded some hot garbage for years and years. killed some QB's and mauled some RBs because of it. step back and take freshened new look this this season for me please ? Ravens will be a good test for the O line actually. Go Bills! Middle of the pack. Especially so early in the season. Run defense is very very good Their middle is really good. NT- Williams LB- Mosely FS- The Beard Won't be easy. Won't be impossible either! : ) you see clearly I don't want to underestimate them. And they definitely have a stout middle. That said, Shady and Bush's best skill set is running it over the edge. I'd attack there. and Gilly sweeps nicely too. i think you are on to the "Keys of the Game" brought to you by WhitewalkerinPhilly and ECMC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beef Jerky Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) Run defense was 12th so it wasn't that good... Now with Elvis still out it doesn't look to improve. Edited September 10, 2016 by Beef Jerky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Run defense was 12th so it wasn't that good... Now with Elvis still out it doesn't look to improve. 12 wasnt that good? That kid Williams is brutal against the run. But 12th isn't that good ?? what the heck is it then? its not average its not below average its not bad its not awful its not just above average. It is was pretty darned good. and they had injuries a plenty. don't discount Ravens run defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
