Well the Chiefs had seen the O-Line last year, twice! I don't think it's going to be that much a surprise to them. 

 

I hope they double Chris Jones whenever they want a big play. Jones has the freedom to freelance and pick whichever lineman he wants to face. I want to use Belichick's philosophy here: player X can beat our O-Line but X cannot be Chris Jones.

 

It'll be interesting.

 

The move from McGovern-Morse to Edwards-McGovern probably means the Bills are better at certain things and worse at others.

 

To what degree it'll affect Jones' performance will be interesting to watch.

 

Maybe it's a wash, maybe it isn't.

I know but they have seen the 5 O-linemen lined up together with Morse in the middle multiple times.

Connor is a different animal on center. LG seems to have worked out.

 Torrance I never hear about

And Spencer Brown's is healthy , he playing quite well. Early season stats were outstanding if I recall correct

Making the right calls against Jones . Josh will be looking for Chandler I can imagine.

I like this scheme better than last years and the players, even 6th lineman seem to be a big positive so far

McGovern is more physical than Morse - taller, heavier, and longer arms (34+" vs 32+" pretty significant for a lineman), of course most importantly, a lot cheaper. For reference, Chris Jones has 34.5" arm length.

 

Overall I think he's more stout than Morse, but not as mobile in going out in space for blocking. In general, he's better match up than Morse against a guy like Chris Jones. I myself do not remember the Bills ever had Morse go one on one against Jones, and I doubt they will let McGovern to do so either.

Buffalo played a defensive tackle, DeForrest Buckner, on Sunday who is very similar to Chris Jones.  I think they handled it pretty well.

I'm optimistic that our O-line is better than last year's and that it'll make a difference when we play the Chiefs.

 

We'll find out soon enough.
