Thanks Ruben

[Earthquake Enyart]

Thanks for dogging it all preseason. The OL is no where near where it has to be, since they have not worked as a unit all preseason.

[lordofgun]

Yeah, that has always bugged me. I realize players like Ruben and Bruce Smith are proven and say they don't need preseason...

Well you're being paid millions and you don't want to put in a "full" 6 months of work? It ticks me off...especially when the OL needs time together to get better.

[casdhf]

It's not like either have a really difficult position. Ruben, pull here, drive ahead here. It's not liek they're Tackles or WRs or anything

[doug45]

It would have been nice if the whole line could have worked out together more of the preseason.

[The_Philster]

Ruben was hurt the first part of the preseason. I think it would have been stupid to risk greater injury in preseason when he's already hurt.

[TigerJ]

I'll plead ignorance as to the extent of his injuries, but his absence hasn't helped matters. Jennings was hurt and his absence hurt too. I hope things gel quickly now.

[mchurchfie]

I totally concur. What is going on every year that we always have OLinemen getting hurt. I know that this is bound to happen a little in preseason but these guys are dropping like flys. is it the way that they are training, is it the way the camp is being run, is it a fluke? Maybe it's time to draft and sign players with a history of toughness a little more.

[shelby]

Reuben needs to stop getting called for holding.

[MissBuffalo]

I agree shelby. You'd think after all these years holding he'd learn by now.

[venis2k1]

he did have alot of holding calls, but i wouldnt worry about it until he starts getting call for holding in the regular season

[The_Philster]

I agree venis2k1, he barely got any penalties last year. I'm thinking he just had to get them out of his system.

[Rebecky]

His holding calls may well have been protecting the QB in preseason -- that's the #1 priority, and while penalties in preseason don't matter anyway, the QB getting sacked and hurt does matter. Anyway, that's my theory.

[TigerJ]

No, nothing counts in preseason, but all those offensive penalties stand in the way of developing a rhythm on offense, and leaves fans wondering if we can do anything once the season starts. Good thing I don't gamble. I'd have no clue how to bet the Bills vs. the Jets.

[BillsMan80]

Also, he needs to get back up to the speed of the game, and he is obviously not 100%, so I will excuse it.
