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.

It can be that or testing the viability of the backup vs starters

 

Or that they actually like ducasse more.

 

It's hard to read tooooo strongly into preseason

I was saying as long ago as May I really think Castillo is pushing for Ducasse to start.

 

Some very sensible posters were saying it is just OTAs they know Miller is a lot better Miller will start.....

 

I am losing faith that Miller will start. They are going to start Ducasse. It is negligent to do so but they are going to do it.

It would be more egregious than Aaron Kromer force-feeding us Jordan Mills.

 

There's a sentence I never thought I'd type.

O line is bad

Pass protection is bad. The O-Line has been pretty consistently great in the run game. That said, it will be a disaster if the O-Line is playing like they did Thursday when the season starts.

Vlad is horrible and I'm not sure when he was ever good. This organization prioritizes signing people you like, personally. That's why we have two FBs.

The wrongly maligned two fullback thing is actually very logical and addresses a specific need. Last year, the offense was effective (at or near top ten in many categories), but they were atrocious at converting 3rd & short (or 3rd & anything). Tolbert is one of the best in the league at 3rd & short runs, albeit he's heading into his 30s.

 

Ducasse has been terrible, and it's baffling why they would even hint at replacing a young guard, who by almost all accounts was one of the most improved in the league last year, with a guy who has had little success in his career. As depth, I could almost rationalize the signing, but we had the best running game in the league last year by 15 ypg over the next team. Why "fix" what ain't broke?

Mike Gilleslee had the best 3rd and short conversion rate of any back in the NFL. Just FYI.

It's so inconceivable that I'll only believe it when I see it--and then I'll issue a mea culpa to you Gunner

I say there's no way Ducasse makes the team. Ryan Groy played really well last game, and can backup three positions. My guess is that the Bills wanted to see how he would do against a #1 defense to see if he could be a competent backup. He can't be.

He was with the starters again in practice yesterday. I keep hoping the are going to wake up...... I think they are going to start him.
