Our Back Up Guards -- Fernando Velasco, Ryan Groy, Cyril R. & Rookie Jamison Lalk

[Guest]

If "starters" Richie Incognito or John Miller get injured, we are definitely staring at a 5-11 season.

That depth is razor thin.

I don't know, Velasco isn't bad depth.

He's a guy who has started 38 times in his career and can play three positions. Richardson we need to see if he can take another step in his development.

You may have two decent to competent depth guys at OG in them.

I think the back-ups are adequate. The problem is that the starters are not adequate for the right side of the line.

Another awful thread from Spiked... If the Bills go 5-11 the biggest reason for that wont be because a guard got hurt and Fernando Velasco had to play..

I don't think many NFL teams actually have good Oline depth.

And, like DB said, Velasco is pretty much what Oline depth is around the NHL

velasco plays in the NHL? now that's some versatility.

You are totally wrong on this. No NHL depth charts look anything like the Bills Oline depth!

Unfortunately, the Bills play in the NFL.

I think Cordy Glenn could be missing for game 1, we have no talent at RT, and Miller is still a question mark.

The positive is that we have one of the best oline coaches in the game so I suspect he'll do the best he can with what he has.

Spiked went from pessimist to person with CET. His posts the last 2 months have earned him the ignore status mostly because of the bizarre and constant YouTube postings

bills ks aren't going to be good this year, but I'm not going to enjoy that fact while I'm pretty sure spiked will

I agree with the OP, our OL depth is not good.

That being said, it is very rare to find a team with good OL depth in the entire league.

Just looking at the Broncos and Patriots backups they aren't much better than what we have.

I think our OL depth is excellent...as long as they never have to play

Rare...as I said.

Plus, outside of Ronald Leary there's not much there.

Velasco, Henderson, Kouandjio are comparable to a lot of teams.

2 of those guys have a lot of starts and the other is a young 2nd round pick who could yet develop into something solid.
