The Bills Blog Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) You folks don't seem to be realizing that there are typically four tackles on a roster, meaning some guy of significance is likely losing a spot to McDermott, Wesley, or someone who's not even on the team yet. You can't roll with only three tackles, especially if you're talking about starting all three of them! Edited August 9, 2019 by The Bills Blog

skibum Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 Didn't get to see any run blocking from the starters, though.
BillsPride12 Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 Did anyone else pay attention to Wyatt Teller last night? I was also very impressed with what I saw from him as well. He was knocking guys around all over the place. It's nice to see the nastiness taking form on our offensive line.
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 I thought Boettger looked good too
oldmanfan Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 You can tell when a team is getting better when you cut guys that wind up going to other teams and starting. I suspect that happens with a couple of the O line guys this year. 1
CSBill Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 Think about this and try not to shutter: Ducasse, Miller, Mills, Teller, and Bodine were all regular starters on our o-line last year ? ..... All five are in danger of not having a NFL job in a few weeks. The improvement in o-line personnel alone with make Allen, the WRs, and the running backs so much better this year. Even mediocre results from them will be huge improvement.

Tackles: Dawkins, Nsekhe, Ford, McDermott/Wesley Guards: Spain, Long, Feliciano, Teller Center: Morse Seems pretty straight forward at this point barring injury.

You always move Ford to RT if Nyske goes down and have Feliciano or Long play guard. I think they keep 8 to 9 lineman. Tellar would be the 9th.

I'm not a Ducasse fan at all, but objectively I'll say Joe B. did a deeper dive into Ducasse's play last year and found him to be one of the better points on the line. Actually, the last two years which I think has more to do with assignments than anything else. That said, it's wonderful to see that last year's starting G / C can't hold the jock of the guys projected to start this year. Talent upgrade and superior production is believed to be on the horizon. Last night's glimpse was encouraging, but we do need to see consistency and get Morse out there to build the chemistry before we start comparing them to Dallas and Indy as terrific O-line units.

He sucks. Penalties, slow AF, I don't know man. I think that Ducasse came along with the former O-Line Coach, Castillo. Vlad was Castillo's guy and Vlad won't be around. It seems, and I could be wrong, that they would rather have Ford at Guard at this point. The Washington guy played well last night, but I did see Ford whiff on a block early in the game and Sweeney must have missed a chip block on the sack of Allen.
McBean Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 We need Mitch Morse for the entire season. He’s the key to our offensive line. IF our offensive line stays healthy and keeps Josh upright, we might surprise a whole lot of people this season. Big if though.

After Morse, there are a few players who can play center in a pinch, and not look terrible. Bodine really is a center only and does look terrible at times. Feliciano, Long, and even Boettger can all snap the ball, and offer you something at guard as well. 1

Agreed. It's just that most people don't include McDermott/Wesley.

Boggles the mind how he started all those games in Cincy when they were making the playoffs every year. That was my thought, too. I was like, "How the heck did this dude start for four straight years in Cincy?" I assume they had somewhat of a different blocking scheme or perhaps the guards on either side of him made him look alright.
