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. 

 

 

It won’t be nearly that easy, but I love the optimism! I know it’ll be nice to be near full strength when we play them again. That’s hardly ever the case. *knock on wood* that major injuries are in the rear view mirror for our impact/pivotal players. 

[Charles Romes]

The best part is VanDemark was developed from scratch in the Kromer lab without expenditure of any draft capital. When VanDemark was being developed,  KC squandered a 2 and 3 trying to address the tackle position, and both high draft picks look like total busts.

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

I’d have preferred Super Duper

Possible.

 

Much more likely, when everybody is out of the medical tent!

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

 

That was a very brave position for you to take.

Kromer didn't want Torrence?

 

Please do tell.

Agreed.

 

Mark Super Duper is too small and old to play OT in today's NFL.

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.

We scored 30.  Their defense was had last night.  It doesn’t have to just be had with deep balls all night

Such a far cry from the statements about this team in the offseason.  
 

what an incredible draft by Beane and co.  Unbelievable

And did so on the critical 4th and 2!

Torrence has had a bit of a rough 2nd year but he was the player most responsible for Josh’s 26 yard clinching run. He turned Chris Jones sideways and to the left, creating a big seem between RG and RT for Josh to run through

Or after Week 5.  Winning fixes everything.

I heard it on either locked on bills or cover one sometime last year (that kromer wasn't high on Torrence in the draft and was grumpy when we took him). It's amusing if true because o'cyrus took job right out of the gate and has said that kromer is the best coach he's ever had.

Our entire offensive line room is pretty damn good!

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

 

I thought he actually looked better in pass pro than Brown.

 

Definitely worse run blocking though.

In addition to some good moves in free agency and a great trade.

 

I agree that Beane continues to improve.

 

[Eastport bills]

He was as good as Brown without the presnap penalties. Going against a great D-line and they sent their best at him, he deserves a game ball. We have some nice depth on the O-line.

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. 

 

 

He handled Jones 1v1 on the 4th and 2. Allen ran right behind him. Thats the type of play we need in a big moment. Jones did win a lot but Torrence made some good blocks as well.

[CSBill]

The fact that he was hardly mentioned during the game is a victory. He would be starting for many other teams right now.

That is what was so great. We looked disjointed on offense. We couldn't run the ball.

 

And we still put up 30 for the 5th week in a row.

Against one of the best defenses in the NFL and without a key WR, our starting TE and starting tackle.

Part of me wonders if it was due to not being flexible at what position he plays.  Obv thats a high trait for Kromer, and it shows with the rest of that group... and at the same time, having a guy who's skillset goes deep instead of wide raises a players floor and ceiling.  Side note: great way to make yourself indisposable (stupid this word isnt in dictionary) in your 9-5 career too

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.

 

If Cole Bishop becomes a quality starter this draft class may be a home run.
