"Buffalo is 24th in the NFL, rushing for less than 99 yards per game, with a 3.7 yards per carry team average. Their strength along the offensive line is inside, with veterans OC Melvin Fowler, OG Mike Gandy and OG Duke Preston giving them leadership. Rookie tackles Jason Peters and right OT Terrance Pennington are still learning, which causes Buffalo to feel more comfortable running up the middle."

Are these guys on crack thinking Preston provides veteran leadership while Peters is a rookie and they like running between the tackles? I think they run like 85% to left?

All of ESPN sucks. They only do stories about and interview superstars, so I'm not surprised that their analysis is lacking about the small market, 4-6 Buffalo Bills' Offensive Line.

This is why I am boycotting ESPN. They are nothing more than an overly dramatic storytelling station anymore.

That's embarrassing for them. It wouldn't have taken a whole lot of research to put something a little more accurate out there.

Well even though it was on ESPN, Scouts Inc did the research. But ESPN did do a good article on Crowell, they got that one right!
