Bills O-line

[CSBill]

No disrespect to you Cody Ford, but since Ike Boettger and John Feliciano have been the starting guards, and Morse's return, this line is getting better every game. The run game not quite there yet, but its working when needed. And Allen getting touched one time tonight, that is ridiculous! . . . Both lines are peaking at the right time.

The way they're playing they won't get to use their Christmas presents til February.

#20ZMoss doesn't run for much but he gets that short yardage first down.  I think he had a TD tonightas well

[Buffalo_Stampede]

Honestly I have no issues with the run game because I've watched them close out games with the run game.

Boettger is still really struggling out there but the stability around him is covering a lot of mistakes.

The whole line looks great and we can still pull with guards with running plays but have not shown that alot which is great

Love me some Moss lately.  Dude gets the tough yards.  That’s all this offense needs.  Get tough yards, move the chains, and avoid having to use Allen as our short yardage back.

Moss has been the better runner.  Singletary needs space to do what he does well.  And it isn't breaking tackles.

We FINALLY have a RT!!!

[QB Bills]

The line has been incredible. How often do you see Allen just standing there waiting for someone to get open? Daryl Williams has been a revelation. They need to re-sign him. 

 

Imagine they had kept Teller..

Our OL is very average overall, but I fear you may be right about Ford OP. I really hope he can turn it around in '21. In any case, I'd really like to see us upgrade 1 or both G positions this offseason. I'd also like an elite edge rusher and upgrades for Wallace and T Johnson. That said, Feliciano, Wallace and Johnson are not bad. They're just not great and I'm being greedy.

I really can't see that. They're close, but I'll take Singletary over Moss any day. Oh and... Singletary doesn't break tackles??? 

 

I like both of these guys. Upgrade our Guards and TE and this will be the most dangerous offense in Bills history since OJ. Maybe even better.

at least it’s not like winters, who just walks guys right into Josh’s face.

Singletary’s time to hit a hole can be timed with a sundial.

YUP 

 

Love Boettger and his story and he certainly has plugged in selectively, but he’s getting tremendous help around him. Helps having Morse and Dawkins flanking him.
 

I think you see Ford regain that spot next season, and decidedly so. He’s the better run blocker and handles stunts and twists more consistently. I’d still expect Boettger to make the team unless we draft OL.

That is my assessment as well.  He is nothing special.  The Singletary run on third down in the red-zone he missed his block terribly.  If he kicks out one of those guys Singletary can cut it back up for the first down.  Ford would win that job back easily unless they are forced to kick him out to RT.

I want two upgrades at guard for sure.

Moss is the x factor. Actually so is Gabe Davis, and then when j. brown comes back beez nutz is an x factor... lol we have so many options on offense. Its really silly. And not to mention Mr. Allen is, right now the best qb in the NFL, things are just too good to be true!

Is this under the assumption they let Morse go? 

[Kelly the Dog]

I'm not an OL guru, but it seems to me they made a conscious decision to trade the running game for pass protection. Boettger is a pretty decent pass protector and lousy run blocker. Josh has got great pass protection overall the last four games though and our offense is noticeably better. He has all day a lot. Sure we lose in run blocking but the tradeoff is worth it. Our OL wasn't as good as a lot of people thought earlier. Josh immediately makes people miss. But his protection has been elite since Boettger. We only need the threat to run. Tonight was a good example.
