O-Line Play Today

[drummernut74]

Not for nothing, but they probably deserve their own thread today. I haven’t seen that level of play from our O-line against a quality front like that in a lllloooonnnngggg time.  Cybo and McG were huge pickups … and it looks like it’s trickling down to helping Brown develop week by week 👍👍

Allen is probably having to adjust to having time and confidence for the first time in his football life 😬

Loved the backups as well.

They made me nervous after the first Offensive series but they definitely played good as the day went on.  That Washington front four is no joke

In Krome we trust 🤘

Last two games I have to say I have been VERY VERY happy with Spencer Brown. 

 

the work he did with Crosby and now Sweat. Impressive. 
 

rook  already looks like a 10 yr vet OG

 

Morse is playing good ball

 

dawkins turned Young invisible today. 

 

all and all last two weeks been VERY impressed with the OL.

Its starting to look like Spencer's back really was the issue last year. Very encouraging start to the year.

[CSBill]

Hard to ask for anything more. Maybe a bit better with the run game in the early portion, but the pass protection was great and they wore the Commando's down with the run as the game went along.

So based on my field view. The DC LBers were selling out early on Run. It looked to me like they were not worried initially about Josh taking the short stuff 

 

once they backed off a bit the lanes where there for the RBs. 

[PBF81]

It was tremendously encouraging.  

 

And Torrence, for a rookie, ... very impressive.  

 

You can see the chemistry building.

I wasn't really paying attention to subs, did they come in with the QB swap, or prior to then? 

 

Can't wait to see the snap counts for the OL again.

Yeah came in with Kyle Allen from what I could tell.

look at this this is a STUD DT. And Rook just handles him. We have a stud in the making.

I thought they were ok today. 

 

Run blocking was a pretty big problem. We racked up some stats in garbage time, but really couldn't move the ball on the ground with any consistency until after the game was out of reach. 

 

Pass pro was good against a strong pass rush. Helps a lot when your QB can evade pressure and either scramble for a gain or make a pass downfield. 

[JerseyBills]

This is the Bills team we were supposed to look like last year

Dominant in every phase. McDermott has these boys hungry and humble forreal 

SB or Bust

We gave up zero sacks and ran for 140+
 

That wasn’t an “ok” performance, they shut down one of the most talented DLs in the game.

46 of those rushing yards were Josh scrambling. 

 

64 of those rushing yards came on our TD drive with 8 minutes left up 30-0. It's important to close out games, but that was 100% garbage time. 

 

If we had Howell back there I think he gets sacked 5+ times pretty easy. Josh is a magician

Scrambling right through that DL 🤷🏻‍♂️ For how good that DL is, Bills OL (which most fans here consider mediocre) had an amazing day. 

[MJS]

The oline is night and day from last year. And they should get better as the year goes as the right side gets more experience and the new faces gel even more.

 

Dawkins is playing very well, in particular.

Just don’t mess with his beach chairs. 🤐

[John from Riverside]

In particular Spencer Brown
 

That was Montez sweat. He was going against today.

 

And last week he was going against a monster in Vegas

[TFBillsfan]

Major kudos to the OL the last two games. The Washington front four is certainly a top 5 DL and they didn’t allow a sack and ran for over 170 yards. The starters are playing well and yet we have good depth if needed. Great to see Brown developing into a consistent RT. Torrence and McGovern have been big additions to the IOL. 
 

Keep it up boys and stay healthy!
