I think they're going to suck this year, don't get me wrong (including the OL) But I do like the long term makeup of this OLThe Polian Curse

This should be the new Bills slogan because we hear it every year.

Re: O-line sucks. Got it. Move along.
Originally posted by Billz_fanI don't think the makeup is "bad" either. It takes time together for a line to play well and we for one reason or another don't have that year to year. Get the group in place and let them bond together for 2 seasons we might just have something.
But how anyone can say they like what we have is really looking through rose colored glasses.
I rewatched all of the pre-season games:
Wood: obvioulsy is playing like a first rounder, made some mistakes, but solid pick up. But we gave up Peters to get him. People ignore this fact. It was a one for one trade on the line. Period.
Levitre: Has struggled horribly. this guy is not ready for the NFL and will be a liability all year. In addition I haven't seen anything that tells me he will be good ever. He should have been learning behind Dockery.
Hangartner: He looks like a mediocre Center. Not bad, not good, and he's undersized.
Butler: I liked Butler last year and defended his play. At RG he's just above average which is fine. But at RT he's been an unmitigated disaster. You know why he didn't play RT coming out of school? Because his arms weren't long enough. But classic Bills, just like Walker, we'll put him where he is going to struggle.
Bell: Sloppy. Undersized up top and he's no Jason Peters. He beat out Walker, whoopie doo.Last edited by HHURRICANE; 09-11-2009, 09:09 AM.

I think it's pretty clear on who ignores facts concerning the Peters trade.Last edited by Yasgur's Farm; 09-11-2009, 08:43 AM.

BTW Bell is 6-5, 307... Another one of your "undersized" misconceptions.Last edited by Yasgur's Farm; 09-11-2009, 08:56 AM.

Re: O-line sucks. Got it. Move along.
I love the OL. Only position I am somewhat concerned about is the RT spot. Not sure if Butler is the answer there. I would like to see Scott push him for it.
I really think our play selection in terms of running the football will change this year. More toss, sweep, and stretch plays to take advantage of the speed and athleticism of our OL. Rather than power run plays.Last edited by Mahdi; 09-11-2009, 08:58 AM.
