<HR style="COLOR: #f3f3ff" SIZE=1><!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->Pretty much here is a summary of the preseason, the upcoming season and next season as seen through the eyes of a person called mixxum.
1. We invested in an offensive line that dollar for dollar is not going to live up to expectations. Run blocking will be average at best and pass blocking will be awful.
2. Jason Peters is solid but by no measure will he ever be a pro-bowler.
3. Marshawn Lynch is the real deal, however I am scared that if he keeps getting hit in the back field that he either is going to end up hurt or his mother is going to demand a trade.
4. At some point in the second half of this season or in the first half of next season the dreadful passblocking will cause JP to scramble and end up with a season ending injury. Trent Edwards will take over and never relinquish the starting QB job.
5. We never will fix the defensive line (this year or next) and will consistantly have a poor run defense as long as we have the majority of the defensive line manned by white guys (this is not meant as a racial comment or slur)
6. These are the players that are the real deal, Marshawn L., Trent E. Lee E., John Mcgargo (will finish strong and probowl next year), Donte W., Ko Simpsom, Paul P, Rosco, We need another real deal defensive linemen, Offensive linemen and WR.
7. These players are seen by many as the real deal but I feel are over rated. JP (to streaky, and will suffer from a poor offensive line), Jason Peters (Yes he is solid but by no means is he a pro-bowler). Aaron S. (strong passrusher but disgusting against the run this makes him an average defensive end at best.
8. Buffalo is going to be a victom of not being able to win the battle in the trenches. They often are going to give up large running plays on defense while to frequently getting stuffed in there own. Teams are going to put 8 men in the box and JP to Lee for a TD on 3rd and long can not propel the team into the playoffs.
9. How to fix it. We are not that far off. We need interior O line help. We need a center and Right Guard. These guys often are pushed around and a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. We need another big play threat on offensive. We need a 6' 5" WR with solid speed and skills to compliment Lee. PP and Josh are solid # 3 receivers but we need a number 2. The only way the defensive is going to improve is if players make suprising developments. We have invested alot of money in our starting defensive ends, I feel this will keep us from investing in the DT help we need. However if Kyle and John M. develop faster and better than expected at DT and can just be solid against the run then our defense can be average. But if we consistantly give up 5-7 yards on 1st down on running plays then it will be a very long and disturbing year (with me jumping up and down like a crazy man in front of the tv on Sundays). So more or less if we gave Buffalo a stud interior offensive and defensive linemen and gave them another homerun threat on offensive then we might make the playoffs, with out it this season is going to be identical to last season in almost every catagory.
This is just the thoughts of a short, stocky, slow witted bald man.
PS. I will give all of my zone bucks to the first person who tells me who the real slow witted, short, stocky bald man is.
