An article from Pro Football Focus (below) says it all. Have you ever heard of Glenn being mentioned as an All-Pro? I have always questioned Woods strength at Center. He can't knock people off the line of scrimmage. Groy did last season when Eric was injured. He's one of the highest paid Bills and doesn't deserve that distinction. Miller? Has anyone seen a clip of him doing anything? A great block? He's invisible. And, and doesn't dominate anyone. Poor Jordan Bills was released by the Bears. He just gets by but actually hustles doing his best.
Pro Football Focus looked at their grades for every single offensive lineman in the NFL to put together a list, ranking the best-to-worst blocking units in the league. The scores are derived from the average of each of the five starting linemen’s grade.
Unsurprisingly, the Bills’ found themselves towards the bottom of the league, ranked No. 22 with an average grade of 57.0.

While Richie Incognito is among the top 10 guards in the NFL once again, the rest of Buffalo’s line has been unable to come near to playing at his level.
The unit has played well in pass protection as they rank seventh in the league with a pass blocking efficiency rating of 82.2, having allowed just 38 pressures on 171 pass blocking snaps. However, the issues come with run-blocking, where basically everyone but Incognito has a poor grade so far. The Bills run more outside zone plays than anyone in the league, leading the NFL with 76 attempts, but they rank just 17th in yards before contact, averaging just 1.06 yards on these plays.
