Cinci O Line injuries

[ProcessTruster]

Or maybe 4/5.  Hard to keep track. 

 

Well, we'll see if my theory that injuries matter and "next man up" is largely garbage (ie: backups are way worse than starters in today's NFL, esp on the OLine).  

 

Although they went to the SB with a crap O Line last year, this wave of injuries is big and should make a difference in the game,  Hope Frazier has some stuff ready to go . 

[VaMilBill]

None of our edge rushers are very consistent. Constantly getting pushed wayyyy up field. We are really gonna need Eddy O to have a big game 

[thenorthremembers]

Their backups arent terrible players.   Probably not going to as big a deal as people will make out.

Did they officially rule people out? I thought they were “week to week” at this point?

wont know anything official until tomorrow since players are off today.  This is just speculation regardless of "week to week" status.

Jonah was on crutches and a knee brace after the game.

 

Cappa got hurt in the Week 18 Ravens game. DNPs all week. Monday of last week Taylor said Cappa would be a long shot to play against the Ravens in the Playoffs.

 

And Collins is gone for the year regardless.

 

All this said, I’m with others. I’m not sure the Bills DEs can take advantage of this. Rousseau would seem to be in the best spot, but when was his last “big” game? 
 

One sack isn’t going to do anything.

Adenji [RT] has played 278 snaps. Scharping [RG] has played 88, Carman [LT] has played 32 snaps.

Volson LG 1173 snaps is rated 67/77 starting guards.  Karras 1166 snaps is 18/40 centers.

Is this official or speculation at this point??? Can’t find any news out of Cincinnati ruling them out.

I don’t see this as much of a negative for Cincinnati.  Our pass rush isn’t good at all.

Va, honestly, I am pretty calm about this game.  Not in arrogance, but just calm.

 

However, I will most certainly be PO'd if we walk out of this game with something like 3 sacks for 8 yards and Burrows lighting us up because we could not get to him.

 

All the picks, all the free agents and you lose Von Miller a couple of months ago and you turn into the sisters of the poor trying to put a pass rush on?

 

Please.  Will not be happy.

The best way to get pressure against an O-line that doesn't have experience playing together is to use stunts and disguised blitzes so that the linemen are unable to figure out their blocking assignments.

 

I would love to see Rousseau used more on inside stunts considering he was extremely successful doing that in college.

Lawson gets 2 sacks this week, Groot 1, Oliver 2, Taron 1, and Milano 1.

If you are sure about 7 sacks you can make a lot of money betting it

Bengals are a passing team but, like us, they also need to run the ball. They likely won't be able to do that very well behind the right side of their line. With the LT out they might not be able to at all off tackle. I also think we will be able to dial up some pressure. If not we will likely have problems.

we have been trying for the entire McBeane tenure to scrap together some kind of pass rush.  Hughes/Addison etc. the Obada flyer. Four high picks. Then, for 8 games we actually had a pass rush. Then, it all ended on that horrendous turf in Detroit.

This ESPN stat says Bills are 13th in pass win rate. Five in yards per attempt. 4th in overall DVOA, 8th in pass DVOA. I'd say the pass rush isn't too shabby. 

 

[Buffalo_Stampede]

I have zero confidence in our DL pass rush.

You mean like the guy who bet $1M at halftime that the Chargers would win the game against Jax?

Makes me question DVOA. Because without Von the pass rush is non existent.

[larrym]

its true our pass rush is ineffective.  Watching the 49ers d its plain to see our defense needs an overhaul.  I myself am pretty calm too.  I'm not confident we can win this game and this is just be objective.  This team all year is like an engine with a misfire or dead cylinder.  In some ways not making the superbowl might be a blessing because i think whoever emerges from the AFC probably will get steamrolled.
