San-O Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 I never played O-line so I don't really know. Seems you lose your LT and replace him with a nobody, you are getting worse. To me, a bad o-line seems a lot like bad acting. You know it when you see it. Could someone with an objective view, state where they think this o-line is now, compared to last year, and why? TD, O-Line and MW apologists need not respond. Thanks.
stuckincincy Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 Your Highness: Respectfully refuse your command. Insult and belittlement is not an endearig trait, despite what your parent/parents/school may have told you. Better luck next time. And you get high marks for the most snotty, self-serving post this week. Sincerely, Your Pal, stuckincincy

stuckincincy Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 Are you a TD, O-line or MW apologist? 431363[/snapback] Why do you ask? I'm curious.

Thanks. 431358[/snapback] You want an objective view, but than you state that "TD,O-line, or MW apologists need not respond" So basically you want someone to tell you the o-line sucks so you hear the version of the state of things the way you see them? That's a bit hypocritical.

That's a bit hypocritical. 431377[/snapback] I see your point. Really looking for someone who may have played the O-line in college, or has some real experience. Maybe a coach, ex-coach. Having someone post 2000 words why they think "hope" it will be better is really not of interest to me. I don't see how the o-line can be better, however really looking for an objective view. So: TD, O-line and MW apologists feel free to identify yourselves as such and repond.
cåblelady Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 I don't know anything......but, is s = sucky an option? I hope I'm wrong.
San-O Posted September 7, 2005 Author Posted September 7, 2005 I don't know anything......but, is s = sucky an option? I hope I'm wrong. 431389[/snapback] That's kind of what I'm seeing. However, I don't really know either. Hoping they are not as "sucky" as they have been recently. I see no tangible reason why they should be better.

cåblelady Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 Yes, good point, although so is Jennings. 431404[/snapback] I'm trying.
stuckincincy Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 well..... we're waiting? 431402[/snapback] Go play with your toys, child. You are not interested in discussing football, only an infantile and easily seen through ruse that gives you some sort of macrbe thrill. So I dismiss you. You can declare victory on your next up-stroke, eh? See ya...
Kelly the Dog Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 I am not an O Line expert at all, but it seems to me that the best O Lines in the business have at least four essential elements, and perhaps none of them are more important than the other. The best ones have talented players (and this has seemingly little to do with when they were drafted, although the very best individuals are often very high picks), they are well coached, they play well together as a side of a line and as a unit, and the coaches put them in a position to play to their strengths and hide their weaknesses. The Bills, being in their second year under McNally should be a little better coached, especially because MM and TC and McNally are no longer in their rookie years or rookie years together. The right side of the line has played together and in the same system with the same coaches, which is something we havent had in a long, long time. The left side should be a worry, because we don't know how well Gandy will do, and he and Anderson have never played together, nor have they played in this offense or for this O Line coach or offensive system. There is no telling how they may fare. The Patriots have been able to plug unknowns into the line with tremendous results recently. The Broncos are able to put anyone in there and they still can run the ball with any back. The Colts have had quite a few man changes in the last couple years I believe, too. But they are coached well, they learn how to play as an individual and as a side and as a unit, and the team does the right things around them, as opposed to, say, the GW era with three different O Line coaches and a OC the last two years that forced his system on the players instead of utilizing the players strengths.

Alaska Darin Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 Gee, what a surprise. I'm away for a month and the second thread down is another "I'm so low on gray matter that I can only regurgitate the same topic over and over again" by socalsurf. How I've missed the rollercoaster.
