    John Miller impressing

    Great news.

    Vic Carucci@viccarucci 4h4 hours ago
    Rookie John Miller is making a strong impression as a starter at RG for the #Bills. "I think he's a 10-year vet out there," Rex Ryan said.

    Would be great if he can come in right away and play at a high level. We need it.

      Let's wait until he played preseason games. I remember there is one guard during Gregg Williams era who received wave reviews from Gregg himself -- learning quick in class room, translate to the field (always got to the right assignment), until when the pads were on, hitting happened, he was picked up by DE's and thrown around.

        Agreed. Nevertheless, it's encouraging to hear this coming from the coach.

            John Miller is a tree stump of a guard that is a pain in the ass to uproot.

            He also does his homework and knows the playbook inside out.

            He's going to be a starting guard for the Buffalo Bills for a long time.

            Best draft pick at guard since Ruben Brown.

                I'm skeptical because almost every year, there is some guy who impresses in pre-season but either doesn't make the roster or becomes nothing but an ST'er.

                That being said, if he can start immediately at G and play at a high level, it will go a long way toward plugging a big hole on the OL. It's another "hope for the best but expect the worst" situation.

                    Konstantin Ritzman, Jeff Tuel, Michael Jasper, Demetress Bell, Ed Wang, Arthur Moats... I think I've made my point.

                      The only one I remember showing flashes in preseason was Moats.

                        The local media was drooling over Ritzman. Everyone had a hard-on for Tuel after one good preseason game. Everyone was talking about Jasper for either OL or NT because of his size. Many people thought Wang was a steal.

                          No you did not make any point Op.

                          None of those guys were expected to do ANYTHING.

                            And he was not terrible.

                            Was serviceable a few years.

                              WTF are you talking about? ALL of them got a ton of press in preseason and did nothing. Your definition of "expected" is ****ed. It's skewed to protect your own preconceived views.
