ORCHARD PARK – Kraig Urbik is a pretty affable guy, not someone who's going to be difficult to deal with, and certainly not someone who would look you in the face and lie.

Love to see him back.

Title is wrong, imo. He is taking first team reps which to me, means he will be starting in place of the rookie this week.

I'll take a 29 year old healthy veteran in Urbik over Richardson any day.

I agree right now but hopefully one day Richardson can be the mane stay but for now he's still green.

Don't get your hopes up.
Marrone is such a tease.

Imho, it's crazy nuts it took this long to do the obvious and there's no excuse for it if it works in which case Pat Morris has to go the minute the season ends and Hackett and Marrone an hour later if they can't properly throw Morris under the bus.

Richardson's run blocking has actually been good at times...but his pass blocking is far below the NFL level...so a change had to be made.

I can't say if its Morris, or Hackett, or Marrone, or Wood making the line calls or whatever ....

but this line is absolutely horrible in recognising and picking up something like a DL stunt.

And it isn't just the rookies, it looks like everyone is missing on them. There have been far too many instances of seeing 2 guys blocking no one and watching someone go in untouched. Or you'll see someone doubling down on a DL, only to watch another loop around and run by him on a stunt.

That's stuff you expect to see in high school..not at the NFL level.
