Thurmal34 Posted August 18, 2017 Author Posted August 18, 2017 It was. Bummer. They could certainly use him right about now.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 id get albert on the phone The pro personnel dept is going to be quite busy.
Mark Vader Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 Ducasse has no business being a starter, or even being on the team. We need Cordy Glenn. I hope his foot is healthy. Eric Wood getting pushed around tonight is concerning. Dawkins may have to be forced into the line-up, because Mills is just not cutting it. Miller should be starting. That is without question. Henderson had another bad game. Move him to RT and see how he does. The blitz killed the O-Line tonight. Not encouraging, but that doesn't mean it's a lost cause. Let's see what the coaching staff comes up with this week.
Blokestradamus Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 Biggest issue is that they're not letting the units build cohesion. Miller/Mills & Ducasse/Dawkins switching with the 1st string. Miller was in at RG with the 3rd string as well.
WMDman Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 well they should announce the starters this week, right?

John from Riverside Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 ducasse needs to be cut..... I bet we the bills are seriously looking at who could be possible cut from other teams

Blokestradamus Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 ducasse needs to be cut..... I bet we the bills are seriously looking at who could be possible cut from other teams Jeremy Zuttah was recently cut, prior history with Castillo. Could play C/G as could Groy.
MAJBobby Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 Jeremy Zuttah was recently cut, prior history with Castillo. Could play C/G as could Groy. Zuttah would upgrade Ducasse

Only thing I can imagine is they know Cordy's foot is cooked. Also agree worried about Wood's stoutness. Edited August 18, 2017 by Thurmal34
par73 Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 Ducasse and Henderson are terrible. They need Glenn in the lineup, or this unit will continue to struggle.
Blokestradamus Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 Zuttah would upgrade Ducasse My mother would upgrade Vlad. About the same size too.
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 My mother would upgrade Vlad. About the same size too. Yeah, your mom is a mauler. I think Beane tried to sign her, but the Panthers had spies in the camp and wanted to get even for the draft.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 I'd like to see Dawkins get some more burn at LT. Just in case I'd like to explore all options.
Blokestradamus Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 Yeah, your mom is a mauler. I think Beane tried to sign her, but the Panthers had spies in the camp and wanted to get even for the draft. I'm sorry. All I saw was mauled and panther. Have you been reading my diary?
dgrochester55 Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) Long term may not be bad if handled properly. I think that Buffalo signed Groy with Wood being closer to the end of his career in mind, If Glenn stays healthy, he is a good left tackle. Incognito has a couple of years left. Miller looked bad today but has had a good career so far. Glenn, Incognito, Miller and Groy are a base to start from. Dawkins looked awful today but he is a rookie, and that can happen in preseason. He has time to develop behind Incognito and could be a good interior lineman by the time Incognito is gone.. Tackle depth is the issue at hand. I wish that Kujo didnt screw up his career, he was actually a solid backup left tackle last year. We certainly could have used him tonight. You could survive if your weakest link is Mills at RT, but that paired with Henderson at LT was a disaster. Short term, I would say sign Albert or the best available veteran tackle. Long term, there are a lot of draft picks, if you add at least two lineman including a high pick on a tackle it is a good start. Of course you never know if a lineman will get hurt or a draft pick will be a bust but long term, Buffalo could have a base of. Glenn-Incognito/Dawkins-Groy-Miller-Draft pick with another draft pick and maybe a solid veteran as backups. Edited August 18, 2017 by dgrochester55
Crusher Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 They're going to have to invest some of that 2018 draft capital into the Oline...that's what has to happen.
JimKellyTryouts Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) Go ****ing figure Rex's staff has a great offense and screws up the defense, whereas this staff in year one has the trajectory to be doing the complete opposite. Ravens fans were happy to see Castillo gone and his stubborn desire to keep working with Ducasse is a painfully obvious failure. Pardon my buzzed hot take. I just can't view preseason as a grain of salt. Edited August 18, 2017 by JimKellyTryouts
