I'm not the kind of guy to get too high or two low this early in the season. I didn't jump ship after that week one debacle and I'm not shouting, 'Super Bowl!' to my neighbors while runnin around the yard wearing only my Bills' zubaz pants.
But, when I look at our offensive line two games into this season, and combine that with all of last season I like what I see.
For years we had to put up with some of the worst offensive lines I've ever seen and even when we finally brought in some talent, it flopped.
When I look at our line now I start right in the middle.
Wood is one of the best centers in the league when healthy. He is gritty, nasty and mean but more inportantly, he's a charismatic leader and has the intelligence to back it up. He's the leader of this line and you can tell the unit responds to him.
I don't think there is a more well-rounded, versitile guard in the league than Andy Levitre. I can't say enough about this kid, he's a downhill blocker with an amazing ability to play just about anywhere on the line. But he's at his best at left guard and I'd almost say he's dominant at times.
I loved Urbik coming out of college and think the Bills staged a coup by getting him the way they did.
He's not our best lineman but he's a big body who I think has gotten better and better the more he's played.
Pears is an old school road grader. He's mean too. I like mean. He's probably the least talked about lineman on the roster but I tell you what, that may be a good thing. Because he's silently one of the more consistent right tackles we've had in a long time.
Who've brings us to Glenn, who I was extremely surprised to see drop out of the first round. In fact, I remember considering him at 10!
He's a talented young player with a chip on his shoulder, he's progressing faster than I could have imagined or hoped for and Buddy is drooling over him.
Practically said he spanks it to game film of this kid.
He's a pro bowl athlete learning arguably the most important position in football aside from QB.
The jury is out but I'd say he has a bright future.
I don't know if we have the best offensive line in the league but I'd rate it top five.
At the moment, I'd say statistically they're number one and have potential to be great for a few years which is very pleasing.
