Domdab99 Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Anyone else worried that our starting LT looked like a turnstile last night? This is is the only reason why I might not want Josh Allen starting the season under center...our OL might be very bad.
whatdrought Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Garrett is a stud. I think we can hope it’s a bad game and he’ll move on. Hopefully he won’t be next to Vlad much longer. Addition by subtraction.
Augie Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 I’m hoping Garrett is that good, and Dawkins is not that bad. Having a glass half full morning. 1
26CornerBlitz Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) Allen takes the field as the starting QB based on the merits of his own development and performance. 1 hour ago, 26CornerBlitz said: Dawkins wasn't exactly stellar last night in his matchup with Myles Garrett to put things mildly.

H2o Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Garrett is going to manhandle A LOT of people this year. He is finally healthy and he is that good. I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if he has 15+ sacks this year. Go watch old tape from when he was at A&M, the guy is destined to be one of the best pass rushers in this league imo. 5
Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 I’m a bit surprised, but not necessarily worried about Dawkins. Watching him dominate really good DE’s last season gives me some reassurance...bad game against a very, very good DE. Now, Vlad and Bodine? I’m worried.
Juice_32 Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Yes, yes he did. I think that will be a theme for Garrett's career. I don't know who the hell out there can block the guy. He is as strong as any OT out there and much faster/quicker. He is a nightmare to stop.
Royale with Cheese Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Hughes handles Joe Thomas a few years ago. Sometimes it just happens. Sometimes that #1 overall pick plays like he’s projected to. 1
wppete Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Garrett is a stud. Dawkins didn’t look good last night but I am still confident he will have a good season. He is Big, athletic and very aggressive. Hope that was a big wake up call for him. 1
Chandler#81 Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 In stark comparison to what Daboll unveiled last week, I didn’t see ANY TE’s or RB’s chip DE’s. That there were a couple unchallenged DE rushes straight to the QB suggests blown assignments. They need to address this quickly or we’ll be scouring waiver wires for QB’s every week! 2

This is a good point...and I assume Dabol was calling a basic offense last night so as not to tip his hand too much 1
NewEraBills Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Dawkins, I'm sorta concerned with actually. It was his technique. It was very bad against Garrett and I'll have to go back to last week but I'm not sure he was all that great vs Addison either. What we do know is Ducasse and Mills are atrocious to the f'ing MAX. Miller surprisingly seems decent. Ducasse let's guys get into his chest and maul him backwards into the QB. Mills is just a turnstile at times and it's absolutely ugly. Watching him at times is like being forced to go to the prom with the wicked witch of the West. Just ugly and a disgusting experience.

Josh is used to the horrible line play and seems to move into the pocket reguardless. He gets the play off faster then Nate. He did well last night and made the OL look better by finding the hols and stepping up into them. Just my thoughts. 1 minute ago, Domdab99 said: This is a good point...and I assume Dabol was calling a basic offense last night so as not to tip his hand too much Yes, I thought he seemed to dial it back a bit 1

Is there any way for you to flag your pronouncements so I don't have to search them out? Pearls of wisdom, that's what they are.

richardb1952 Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 In a real game, there would have been more chip blocks from TEs and RBs like in the first preseason game. This offense looked much more vanilla than in game one. There was not a lot of pre-motion in game two. I'm sure they are evaluating different things in game one versus two. Garrett is very good though. Also, it appears that Browns blitzed more, though it might have appeared to be a blitz because of how fast they were getting into the backfield. I was more concerned with the inability of the Bills defense in stopping the run. I would have thought they would have been better. 1
Buffalo03 Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Dawkins was solid last year. You mean to tell me he forgot how to play in one season? It's preseason and his job is locked up. Not worried about Dawkins at all

You have some teams working on basic stuff, while other teams are running more complex stuff/blitzes etc. All this talk about player safety, meanwhile preseason has become a battle of attrition to see who can come out the least damaged.
