TakeYouToTasker Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 I'm on record, having said that the O-Line has looked great this year, with apologies to Simon for shitting on Simon in a John Miller disagreement, in which I was wrong after watching the all-22. This is one of the best lines in the NFL, and the best I've seen in Buffalo since Ballard, Ritcher, Hull, Parker, Wolford, Fina, Frerotte. LeShady had this to say: "{snip}it’s the guys up front. I mean, they’re really getting their blocks. They’re hitting every time. There’s not a favorite left or right, they’re all blocking together. That’s a lot of credit to the guys up front and they’re making my job easy just to go one on one with defenders, that’s not that hard, so that’s the reason I think I’m playing like this.{snip}" Would love to see thoughts, articles, and o-line film break downs here.
John from Riverside Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 the right side of this OL is playing lights out We expected Glenn and Cog to be good.....but to me its the right side that is making this click because we DIDNT expect them to be this good. Mills should be kept.....Miller looks like a pro bowl player to me.
Kelly the Dog Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 I think the combination of the players, Kromer being a very good OL coach and not distracted by what happened last year, plus Lynn simplifying the blocking schemes and playcalling and letting the OL maul the opposition rather than outfox them (the biggest difference), along with Taylor getting the plays quicker and being able to evaluate the defense, has made a world of difference. Shady is now allowed to be Shady and he is again a top three RB. He wasn't able to be that guy with Roman.
atlbillsfan1975 Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 Miller is exactly what Whaley thought he could be. Miller needed a year in the league to adjust to the speed. Miller is also healthy. You need to have at least 3 out of your 5 lineman to be good to great. If you have 4, like the Bills do, you can compensate for one being average.

Plus Lynn is a big difference allowing these guys to do what they do best rather than thinking too much or trying to outsmart the defense. The OL has made a dramatic difference, especially the right side. TT being able to be Houdini helps tremendously, too.
TPS Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 Give the WRs kudos too. While there was a great hole for Shady, he doesn't get that 23 yard run for a first down without some great downfield blocks when he shifted field. That almost looked like a designed play as in a punt return. A total team run.
