    Bills offensive line

    Was going to start this last week. I'd love to hear what you all have to say about the line. The line that didn't look so hot as preseason finished up.

    Seantrel Henderson held Cameron Wake quiet.

    No sacks yesterday. Just one vs Chicago.

    Seems to be gelling.

    Another great thing to see.

    And, furthermore, if they give Manuel just an extra second or two to find his target. Well 117 yards by your #1 draft pick.

    They could do better at times with run blocking, but there's a lot to be happy with.

    they threw the right side of the line together right at the end of preseason so its not surprising they were struggling right up to the opener. but yeah that certainly doesnt appear to be a prollem today. really nice job shutting down the strong miami front
    One set of rules for all in the beloved community

      Well, the OL also opened some huge holes for CJ yesterday.

      Give this OL a little time, I think by the end of the season it will be dominate.

        The lines have been our strengths the last two seasons. I don't know why everyone is so down on them. Has the OL been perfect, no, but it's been better than any other unit on offense.

        The DL is also good. Dareus is hit and miss, more miss, and so is Mario to a lesser extent. But the unit is easily our best on D.

        People here have been too hard on them. I don't think I would resign Darues though. Loved the Henderson pick, I'm surprised he didn't go before the 7th though.

It's a protection mechanism.

        You shroud your childish approach in a vale of pompous, intellectual garbage in an attempt to look smart and "real". You over-analyze even minute points and manipulate statistics to fit your negative view of the team. Again, to feel good about yourself and to protect from getting hurt.

        Of course, the criticisms are obviously from someone who has no understanding of the team concept or what it takes to excel at athletics.

        The true "realist" understands that they have no control of what happens on the field or behind the closed doors at One Bills' Drive, so they do the prudent thing for a spectator. They enjoy the games on Sunday with family and friends, cheer for their team and realize that it's just entertainment.

        "I was an integral part in the drafting process of EJ Manuel," Whaley said Thursday on NFL Network's Total Access. "I was the person that handled the draft process and setting up the board."

        "We are committed. I want you to believe me when I say that," Whaley said of building around the second-year quarterback, per The Buffalo News. "I always tell you guys that I'll never say never because I don't want to paint myself in a corner, but when I do say something, I do it and I mean it and I try to fulfill it."

        "We believe the addition of Sammy is going to be instant impact, not only to our quarterback, but to what our offensive coordinator can come up with game-plan wise and how defenses attack us," Whaley said.

        Whaley on EJ Manuel: "We think we got a gem in this guy." (2:30)

        "And as Mark says, if in three years maybe he's not [our quarterback of the future], then I'll be sitting there saying 'hey guys', .... anybody got a job for me?" - Doug Whaley

          I was watching him alot yesterday. He was double teamed alot - which left Kyle Williams with one on one action and he took full advantage! What confused me is that, if I'm Miami's DC, considering the way Kyle was playing in the 1st half of the game, why didn't they change and double team HIM...take your chances that you can contain Dareus w/1 person...Kyle was destroying them!!!

          But really, I'm not complaining at all if DCs want to continue to double team Dareus instead.

            Henderson didn't go before the 7th because it appeared he was going to waste the talent he obviously has.

            Had he gone to a place like Miami, NJ or Dallas, that might have been the case.

            And Dareus is a YOUNG guy that needs to grow up, but he is not the thug, he is a good guy with a lot of talent, I will be PISSED if the Bills don't resign him.
