Big C Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 Missed the game tonight but skimming through the game thread I see a lot of Ducasse rage and no mention of Miller. Did Miller play? With the first team? I am a little worried that Castillo likes Ducasse and we are going to have some sort of Colin Brown situation on our hands again.

Ducasse is awful and should not make the team. Miller is much better. From what I saw not even close
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 Didn't a similar thing happen a few years back with some other player? Pre-season started the other guy to send a message to the stronger player. Basically you need to wake up! When the live bullets started flying, the regular guy was in there.
r00tabaga Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 Miller supposedly doesn't have exp in this style of run scheme. I think, like others have mentioned, that the coaches are too loyal to Vlad.
GunnerBill Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 Miller started and was in for the first series - he was not to blame for the INT in any way - that was actually on Shady from a blocking perspective. Ducasse then played the second series and was responsible for 2 hits on TT with missed blocks. When the two are on the field it is not hard to see who is better. It isn't a close contest and if the concern truly is that Miller isn't an experienced stretch zone blocker then how do you help get him that experience when he is on the bench?

I wish they'd put Dawkins in with Miller on the right side, but then I'd fear for the QBs life if it was Ducasse & Mills next...
BillsFanForever19 Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 I don't care that Miller has less experience in this scheme. Ducasse's experience hasn't been trumping Miller's natural talent on the field. It's plain to see for everyone BUT Castillo and McDermott that it's not even close. Yet they keep trotting Vlad out there in Miller's place. It's maddening.
thebandit27 Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 As I've said all offseason: Ducasse is horrible and never should've been signed. He's not fit to be on an NFL roster, and the fact that he counts as a compensatory FA is salt in the I-can't-believe-I-have-to-watch-him-play wound
MAJBobby Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 Can we just end the Vlad experience already. Jesus these coaches and their love affair with past projects

blacklabel Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 Miller started and was in there for the first two series', I believe. On Ducasse's first pass play he got walked right into Taylor's lap and then got steamrolled on the next play. From the practice notes I've read, it looks like Miller has been exclusively with the first-team with Ducasse taking less and less reps with the ones. They've moved Michael Ola to guard recently and he looked like he did better than Ducasse.
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 Why can't we put our best 5 on the field. Groy should move to RG. Put Miller or Dawkins at RT. Cut Bad Vlad. Sit Mills. Pick up someone's cuts.
John from Riverside Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 that's terrible, and it happened all game. yep

Miller cant play RT. You best 5 at this point are LT - Dawkins LG - InCognito C - Wood RG - Miller RT - Mills O god i just threw up a bit
