Considering the investment in receivers and TE's over the last couple of seasons full-out ground and pound would be a massive waste of resources.YardRat Wall of Fame

What about the dependency on Glenn who perhaps due to illness had a sub par year last year?
What about the dependency on never been a Pro Bowler Wood who had difficulty anchoring consistently last year?
What about the dependency on Henderson who PFF had ranked 82 out of 84 OTs despite his 1086 snaps?
What about the back up dependency on below average Chris Williams who had a back injury last year plus 2 rookie OLs who barely saw the field last year?
What about the dependency on Urbik to start?
Nothing about the above screams ground and pound.

Miller has already impressed the coaches.
Two new solid guards are going to make Eric Wood the player he was in 2013 and the years before. He had a bad year in 2014 because of the lack of talent playing next to him.
Cordy Glenn had no off season conditioning in 2014 because of his illness. He played the season, but he wasn't the same left tackle he was before health problems caused him to miss a lot of workouts. He missed all of training camp and the preseason. Glenn is healthy now, and he's entering his final year of his rookie contract. I expect him to return to form in 2015.
Henderson was very raw at right tackle last year. He needs to improve in 2015.
The coaching staff is going to have a much better influence on the O-line compared to Doug Marrone's heavy handed approach. He wouldn't let the offensive coordinator do his job, and he wouldn't let the offensive line coach do his job either.
The Bills had a good offensive line with Chan Gailey as coach. I expect the Bills to have a good offensive line again with Rex Ryan as coach.

How many times did you watch the All-22 game footage and saw CJ Spiller miss an open running lane?
Probably about the same amount of times you watched EJ Manuel miss wide open receivers.
The Bills now have a running back with excellent field vision and can run in between the tackles.
McCoy alone is going to make the offensive line look better.
Speaking of field vision, in one of the first videos I posted about Tyrod Taylor his field vision was one of the things that really stood out.
Even if the play broke down, Taylor was able to keep the play alive with his feet and eyes downfield to complete long passes.
Ground, pound, and throw.

No way it's a bluff. Roman, Cassel, Shady, Felton, Incognito, Clay, drafting Karlos and O'Leary and run game mauler Miller, Kromer's power/man scheme, Connor, Harvin.
Sometimes the obvious is just the obvious.

That's how F'd up the coaching was.
The offensive line play suffered because of coaching incompetence, a running back who couldn't run between the tackles, and a quarterback that couldn't throw.
