Shoutout to Ryan Van Demark!!

[Special K]

Surprised no one started a thread for this guy.

 

First start against one of the best Defenses in the league, and he really held his own. No penalties, no obvious mistakes.....I guess the coaching staff had enough confidence in him to allow Spencer Brown to get that extra week to heal up for the final stretch.

 

He certainly rewarded their confidence!

 

Good Job, kid!!!

I agree.  I think he did a great job. 
 

Alec Anderson, Van Denmark, and SVPG have all stepped up and played well when called upon.

Always thought RVD looked good every time he played. The fact that Grable surpassed him on the depth chart speaks volumes for how good the rookie can be. Wonder how his health is.

Did he give up any sacks? I don't think he did....

He’s no Spencer Brown but he wasn’t a liability either.

Allen wasn't sacked 🙂

Also happy Gouriage got a game check. I'll take the mantle of having been his biggest off-season fan 😂

Since Kromer returned to the Bills and they’ve let him get guys that fit his system they have all been plug and play it seems …

We are the most talented and deepest team in the NFL 

[GreggTX]

We may not have the best OT's in the NFL, but we have several guys that are solid. VDM played well. I believe Grable will be a starter some day and a good one. I think, however, the real story is the continuous improvement of Spencer Brown. I think he's still trending up.

[Doc Brown]

Thanks for doing your job.

And we have the 2nd most dead cap space and a very promising rookie class and plenty of draft capital for next year. Also, I think Beane has actually gotten better at drafting talent.

Heard a rumor that during the draft he didn't want Torrence.

 

But to your larger point I'm so happy with the OLine group. Such an important part of a championship team

I saw multiple times Torrence was one on one with Chris Jones and Torrence completely destroyed him. Completely stonewalled big Chris Jones. Jones won a couple matchups but I was impressed.

 

We will generate a better run game once Spencer Brown is back.

Not against the Chiefs. They haven’t allowed a single RB over 60 yards all year if I heard the broadcast team correctly. Part of that is the scheme they run, they always seem to have at least 5 on the LoS and then the back 7 is very quick to trigger on a rush attempt. If we had a speedster down in/down out to get behind their defense, their aggressiveness could be had.

Brady/ Kromer haven't shown everything in the run game yet. Come playoff time it will be unleashed 

 

But I respect your opinion.

KC won't be able to stack the box when we are fully healthy and operating at full capacity. They'll have to do some zone and two high. They have to hope we make a mistake basically...

 

If they try that same man press in the playoffs and blitzing when everyone is up and running, it will be like the jags game earlier this year. They will get run off the field and the game over at halftime.
