What is so bad about this offensive line

[Cali512]

Glenn Urbik Wood Kuandijo Henderson


I know kuandijo is about 1-2 inches to tall and maybe 5-10 pounds to light but i still think he'd be better at a less athletic position like G. Urbik, glenn and wood are all our best lineman. If our line struggles then we at least need a side we can count on. Its better to have one weak side then holes all over in different spots. The right side needs to be strong. Henderson and Kuandijo are mamoths and Wood can help Kuandijo for double teams as long as Urbik can handle one on ones ok. This is a lineup i would attempt because based on potential this could be dominant.

In case you you've been following some other sport, Urbik is dead man walking with this HC.

Re: What is so bad about this offensive line

Ive noticed. Doesn't change the fact that he's the best guard we have

Re: What is so bad about this offensive line

These guys are going to whiff on assignments for a while, but once they gel I think Glenn-Richardson-Wood-Pears-Henderson will be solid.

Too* Kouandjio* than* mammoths*

Case in point, no. Kouandjio has looked atrocious in game at RT, so why kick him inside to RG when Pears has outperformed him at RT and would be more suitable in the Bills' fan notion that "every tackle who moves inside is immediately a force of nature!"? We also signed Williams to play LG, barring his injury being serious that's not going to be taken away from him. Although... with the release of Branch, it does look like the front office will do away with players that are not performing even with $$$ thrown their way. I'd rather see Richardson progress and fill that void. Urbik is what he is.

Glenn (Yay!) - Williams (Meh) - Wood (Woohoo!) - Pears (He moved from tackle to G, so he's now top 5 at his position) - Henderson.

If Kujo dresses for a single game this year I'll be surprised and it will mean multiple injuries. He's absolutely blown dogs at tackle and he has no experience at guard. He sits and he's lucky not to be cut.

Yeah right now that is our starting OL.

Kouandjio would be cut this week if he was not our 2nd round pick.

Re: What is so bad about this offensive line

Kujo is one of the worst offensive lineman I've ever seen play.

He makes a turnstile look good.

Re: What is so bad about this offensive line

Maybe Kouandjio can take over at RG next year if he beefs up a little and develops his game, but it doesn't look like he should be on the field anytime soon. He just turned 21 so there shouldn't be a rush to get him out there this year. Especially with Henderson stepping up. For better or worse Williams is our starting LG, but I hope the OG position can be upgraded next year.

Re: What is so bad about this offensive line

Saw something interesting from one of the writers at Buffalo Rumblings. He pointed out the Bills have a big offensive line suited for a power game but use a zone blocking scheme better suited for quick agile linemen.

Re: What is so bad about this offensive line

What is so bad about this offensive line is the fact that Urbik and Wood are two of the top three players.

I still wonder why Marrone is so vexed by Urbik. I don't think he's that bad if not exactly all pro. Was funny too Wood referring to Urbik in some interview I read, called him "Urbik."

Well, first, that line features two rookies playing next to each other in Henderson and Kwyjibo. We screwed EJ last year with inexperienced WR's- now you want to screw him this year with an inexperienced OL? Don't get me wrong- I'm not making excuses for EJ. What I'm saying is that having two rookies on the OL is EXACTLY the kind of excuse Russ Brandon will use to not replace EJ next year, even if he is the worst QB in the league this year.

Second, Kwyjibo's play has been universally destroyed by everyone who has paid a modicum of attention to this team in the off-season. Maybe he's a bust, maybe he just needs time to develop (which isn't uncommon for O-line), but he's not ready now.

Third, Urbik may not even make the final roster.

But hey, 2 out of 5 ain't bad, right?

Re: What is so bad about this offensive line

if Ubrick's not on opening day roster the coaching staff should be fired.

He was the only o-lineman who looked like he belonged on the football field today.

just for the record, I'm out of market and didn't see tonight's game. The NFLN replay isn't until Sun, and given how bad the game went and the fact that it's the fifth ****ing preseason game, I'm not gonna waste my time watching.
