skibum Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 Just the body language looks a lot different to me. The offense looks so much more composed and confident when lining up at for the plays. Last year, it seemed like everyone was always awaiting further instructions, then just hoping for the best when the ball was snapped. Allen looks like he knows what he's doing at the line, with intent. Not that his throws look a whole lot better yet...
klos63 Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 We looked more organized. Year 3 with this management is showing. We don't get to this point very often. 4 1

Several Bills cuts are going to end up on other teams. 34 minutes ago, klos63 said: We looked more organized. Year 3 with this management is showing. We don't get to this point very often. Continuity has been my mantra for years now. Of course it starts with getting the right people at the top.
Ralonzo Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 It's almost sad that some of last year's starting OL was getting rekt on 3rd team reps yesterday, although it confirms most of what we knew. 1
mykidsdad Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 Totally encouraged by the game last night. I can't recall being this positive following a preseason game. And this is with Allen look plus-minus.

Snark) Again it's preseason but seeing them play yesterday and knowing they are being picked as a Super Bowl contender, I'm asking why? "Them"? Come on....Jacoby Brisett was their starter and left after one series.

FiftyPercent Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 The Morse /Bodine situation scares me. Feels like it could plague the team the entire season. An oft-injured high priced starter with a crappy backup.

It would seem he is Morse's backup, plus Long can play C. Bodine will be playing elsewhere I suspect. 4

An oft-injured high priced starter with a crappy backup. Only thing is, I don't expect Bodine to make the final 53. It's clear he's not the coaching staff's preferred option at backup center. The guy who DID start the game in place of Morse last night -- John Feliciano -- acquitted himself reasonably well. Between he and Spencer Long, I'm not as worried about backup center as I once was. 1

The Bills seem to have made significant improvements at every position except backup linebacker. I am not sure I would even knock the backup linebackrs......Thompson and Joseph looked really good last night 1

I'm a bit confused by the musical o-linemen. If Ford ends up at RT, is Feliciano back to G?

Good to see the depth there. The colts have a VERY good offensive line....was the strength of their team last year

It looks like: Dawkins - Spain - Morse - Ford - Nsehke Backup G/C’s - Feliciano - Long Ford kicks out to RT if either Dawkins or Nsehke go down, and Long or Feliciano replace him at RG. 1

I'll be honest, I'm not so sure they cut Wyatt Teller. He played quite well against the Colts, and he acquitted himself decently last year when starting games that mattered, too. I don't think Beane/McDermott are the types to give up on 5th round picks so soon. Would they dare keep THREE interior backup players? 1

Given the strategy that we should “plan” to have to play a few games without Morse over the course of the season (hopefully not, but hope is not a strategy), and the ability of Ford to kick out to RT (where they inevitably want him anyway), I don’t think it’s crazy. Definitely unorthodox though to have your 3 depth lineman all interior players with your depth T being your starting RG.

Because they have Andrew Luck, who wasn't playing...they had Phillip Walker playing. Their QB1 was out, their RB1 was out (RB2 barely played), WR1, WR3 and WR4 didn't play (WR2 barely played), TE1 and TE2 didn't play...see where this is going? 1
