Seeing that it's Insider, I know a lot of people won't be able to read it. There are two Bills references...
In 2009, the offensive line that allowed the most sacks was also the one that went through the most players. The Buffalo Bills (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=buf) had 11 different players start at least one game up front for them on offense, and those linemen combined for a league-high 28.5 blown blocks leading to sacks. In addition, running back Fred Jackson (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=10195) led all backs with four blown blocks that led to sacks.
and...
Left Tackle
Worst: Jason Peters (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=6012), Philadelphia Eagles (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=phi) (7 sacks/4 hurries/11 total blown blocks)
Makes a pretty strong case for addressing the O line before anywhere else, even if we did unload an overrated player in Peters.
