Typical TBD Guy Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 And what about Tucker? Did he get some first team snaps at C or LG?
Guest Guest Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 smith looks great!! his jersey has been neatly tucked in all night and he seemed clean shaven. as for mike williams, i think his jersey is a might small for him. that kid will never succeed on this team if he doesn't learn to dress well.
Charlie68 Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 Tucker was playing center in second half I think the 2nd half line was RT Sullivan RG Sobieski C Tucker LG Puccilo LT - ?
Mile High Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 how did l. smith look to those of you who saw the game? and our oline as a whole?
CosmicBills Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 how did l. smith look to those of you who saw the game? and our oline as a whole? 3306[/snapback] Smith got the first two series at LG and Tucker got the next two series at LG. Tucker also played center in the second half. I was at the game and wanted to focus on Smith...I thought he looked really, really good. He was not pushed around at all and made a couple really nice cut blocks DOWNFIELD on passing plays and travis's big 22 yard run. The fact that they were downfield is significant because he made a nice block on the line, then hustled his 300 plus pound butt downfield to hit someone else. I think our LG hole might be filled. Tucker looked good too, but wasn't as impressive as Smith was to me. *Disclaimer: My opinions of Smith are slightly scewed since I wasn't expecting much from him. But I came away very impressed.
clumping platelets Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 Also wondering about MW... 3049[/snapback] I thought Mike Williams played well. Needs to lose the excess weight
LancasterSteve Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 [as for mike williams, i think his jersey is a might small for him. that kid will never succeed on this team if he doesn't learn to dress well. 3064[/snapback] So very very true !! Williams has to dress better. That jersey was waaay too small, poor guy had trouble breathing and moving his 400#'s ever so slowly was futher evidence that MW's needs at least a XXXXXXXXXXXXXLG jersey

MadBuffaloDisease Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 Considering that this current group of what should be the projected starting O-line has had ONE whole day of camp together as a unit, tonight's results were pretty positive and they should only get better. I'd like to see Tucker in at starting center though, just for laughs.
CosmicBills Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 thank you... and that sounds like good news on smith. were there any sacks allowed tonight at all? 3316[/snapback] No sacks (on Drew) that I can remember, but two hurries (I think)...all from the right side of the line. MW looked good, but not great. He made two mental errors that wound up resulting in loss yardage on running plays.
Rayzer32 Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 The O-line looked solid tonight. No sacks on Drew or Travis. JP took one sack, but that was just a rookie mistake on JPs part. We are looking good if they can continue to play like this.

It is hard to beleive myself because the guy is a just a big giant sloth who moves his feet pretty well......He must be very short because his lower body is just massive......

A recent article I read said 310#, and he's probably more than that.
Rico Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 Also wondering about MW... 3049[/snapback] He's In Mid-Season Form Henry said after the game that his ribs aren't as sore as last season when he tore rib cartilage in the third week of last season. Henry was laid out to dry by Drew Bledsoe. The play started when RT Mike Williams totally whiffed on his man Juqua Thomas Whiffing on Thomas wasn't the only problem Mike Williams had. He got blown up by Kevin Carter which caused Henry to take a five yard loss.
kasper13 Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 In the pregame show they were talking about how Smith doesn't get pushed around and if he does get knocked off his "anchor" he can get right back in the play and stay with his block unlike Pucillo. The bad part is that Alex Van Pelt said Smith reminds him of a young Ruben Brown and that Smith has a similar build. Smith played behind Ogden in Baltimore for the last two years and obviously couldn't win a starting job. That said, he did look good last night. I definitley think he will be a starter. Bledsoe said after the game that the most important thing is to settle on the 5 OL starters as soon as possible so they can work together for a few weeks before the season starts.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 The bad part is that Alex Van Pelt said Smith reminds him of a young Ruben Brown and that Smith has a similar build.3437[/snapback] How is that bad? Ruben was a much better player when he was young. His decline in play correlated with his weight loss, and then aging. Smith is 310#+ and is young.
UConn James Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 Mike Pucillo, you are... the WEAKEST LINK! Goodbye!
