Re: Jordan Mills back
That's a lot less than I would have expected. At that price I'm glad he's back. At the very least he provides solid depth. I'd still like to see Kouandjio or someone else starting as an upgrade though. -
Re: Jordan Mills back
Hopefully he isn't the only olineman they retain, I'd like to keep Groy also. Apparently LA Rams are very interested in him though, plus a couple of other teams.YardRat Wall of Fame

Re: Jordan Mills back
The plain truth is that offensive tackle is weak this year both in free agency and in the draft. There are a few free agents who might have been an upgrade, but with the relative scarcity it becomes a sellers market and the Bills cap situation is tight. Hopefully, Mills can improve with a new line coach or Kouandjio can straighten out his footwork for the RT spot, but at least the Bills won't be any worse off this year than they've been at the RT spot, and maybe next year they can get better.I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.Comment

Re: Jordan Mills back
Love the return of Mills. Can't ask for a better price.
Now nab Groy and I'm happy with our starters and backups going into 17.Disclaimer: The sentiment expressed in this post is strictly for entertainment purposes only.Comment

Re: Jordan Mills back
Good grief.
I guess with TT back, we can settle but he wasn't that good last year. But what Tiger J says is true.
He may just be the backup swing Tackle, with Kujo (LT) and Glenn (RT) on the field.Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for witComment

Well...the right side at least..Originally posted by SpikedLemonade View Post
If Buffalo could find an answer to their right tackle issue, this line would vault up the rankings in an instant. Jordan Mills surrendered eight sacks and 57 total QB pressures over 596 pass-blocking snaps this season, fourth-most of any tackle in the game.
In pass pro, he's nowhere near average or solid. And that includes being a back up. He's giving up a pressure once in every 10 attempts. Add in the pressures that Miller has given up and you have 90 pressures from 2 linemen, or about 1 in 6 attempts.
And people think we should pass more? Not without fixing that area.
You can cover for 1, but not 2.
But this position is a lot like QB in that people are always saying "next year we'll get one" or something like that.
And next year rolls around and....well, you know.Comment

The last time we had a solid O-line was the last time we went to the playoffs. Coincidence?Originally posted by SpikedLemonade View PostComment

Re: Jordan Mills back
Continuity doesn't hurt. Mills isn't the worst run blocker, and we obviously are still going to be a 'run first' team. I'd rather have him back, and know we can still try to get better, than have nobody we can be sure can do at least some of what we want them to.
Fwiw, it seems as though we still have a foundation of both lines, to build out from, with the Alexander signing as well. It would appear there is a process going into this.Comment

Re: Jordan Mills back
Not nearly good enough on both lines to be a contender.
Not even close.Comment
