msw2112 Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 I agree that the scheme will help and also having the QBs get the ball out more quickly. I have read that this is weakness of McCarron in camp, but I have not seen last night's game yet (out of market and recorded the NFL Network broadcast this morning) to see whether that's the case.
ndirish1978 Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 Agreed, I would like Teller to replace Ducasse 1

However because I havent said it in awhile. FIRE JUAN. I agree. We are lacking the stars on the OLine that we have had in past years but I see this OLine much deeper overall with much better depth. 1

He's just not the Juan for you. ..pretty sure there was some press whereby Daboll said the OL would be "scheme specific" to the weekly opposition's defense versus Castillo's "one size fits all".....sure as hell would feel more comfortable with Daboll being the "Lead Dawg" in charge.....

GunnerBill Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 Watch out for the Ike. He is going to make a run at a roster spot. Excellent last night.

Teller sure doesn't look like sideline material. I'd even try Teller and Miller with Ducasse as Reserve in the pre-season. The second unit looked better than the first in run blocking, and almost as good as the first in PB after the first sack. Maybe that was the opponent, number of opportunities or the fact Murphy seems on a mission to provide young legs to an ageing RB corps, but I've been banging the drum that the O-line is not the desperate mess some believed it to be. The tird unit was pretty bad but Ike B seemed to stand out well in run blocking. 1

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 I'll wait until the season starts before I go giving praise to the O-Line. Castillo is bottom of the barrel as far a OL coaches, he is the only coach on this staff that I want fired.
K-9 Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 OLines look better when QBs get rid of the ball quickly and on time. We haven't seen that in a while. Peterson, especially, gets rid of it very fast. Part of that is a naturally quick release but it's also play design and quick diagnosis that his first read is there especially when there's a favorable pre-snap matchup he likes. One reason Benjamin seems to be his favorite target going back to last season. Benjamin is a matchup nightmare for most CBs.
Domdab99 Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 Vlad Ducasse needs to be cut. He must have compromising photos of McD

Richard Noggin Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 8 hours ago, WMDman said: i even thought the second unit looked serviceable Yes. As I watched the 2nd quarter I thought: the Bills second unit is comprised of either mediocre/bad starters or young/unproven guys. Newhouse and Bodine are just poopy starters, but might be solid depth. Teller looked strong, but inexperienced. The right side is a little muddier, but a team only really needs both a solid interior and exterior backup... Another tackle with promise would be nice, in a better world.
