ANOTHER OL post .....

[casdhf]

I know its still early, but looking around it seems to be this is what we will have to work with:

Jennings - Smith - Teague - Villerial - Williams

Backups:

OT: Price, Sullivan, McFarland
OG: Pucillio, Sobinski
C: Tucker, Coons

I'm not sure if I'm forgetting anyone, but it seems to be this line should be descent, especially on the right side.

My money is on Tucker by midseason to take over for teague, and maybe Teague seeing some time at OT again? I dunno anything about Coons, McFarland or Sobinski .... Do any of these guys have anything worth looking into?

Yeah, you can look into Jennings future and see him in Atlanta

[Michael82]

I would NOT be surprised if I see Teague get pushed out of the starting spot by Ross Tucker.

[Earthquake Enyart]

Wasn't Tucker playing G?

Wasn't Sobieski at C?

Sullivan is roadkill.

Sullivan is roadkill.

Sobieski and Tucker are taking snaps at center but Tucker may get the edge based on game experience.

[DraftBoy]

I heard Sobeiski was having a good camp, what do you think Mikey?

that's 2 guys under 300 lbs.throw a 340 lb DT in that C-LG gap and you won't be running there.

[Earthquake Enyart]

Sobieski looks huge.

And there was none of that up the middle sacking going on when he was in there.

No way Smith weighs what he is listed at. From the looks of him, I would say he is closer to 320.

No question Smith is more than 300 Lbs.

Donahoe just said on Empire that the Bills have never had this much depth and talent on the O-Line :dizzy:

(in his era anyways)

Well duh he has brang in all the players we have.

[The Spaz]

Lawrence Smith was just asked his weight and when they said what are you 295 he started busting out laughing he said "let me just say it's more than that and on the exact weight we'll just keep that on the DL". He sounds like a good guy.:rofl::lol:

[Throne Logic]

I've now rewatched the Broncos / Bills game a couple times on tape.

The more I watch, the more concerned I am with the O-Line. Yes, Pucillo was horrible. But Villerial was nearly as bad with Marcus Price not trailing too far behind in the badness category.

Now Price might have been injured, but Villerial was not. These two were beat almost as many times as Pucillo in the course of the first quarter.

Good Luck Mouse. We're all counting on your ability to make something out of a bunch of crap.

I'm willing to say that Villarial is still being plagued by his elbow injury he probably was pushing through like he always did in Chicago.

[Earthquake Enyart]

Well, when you have Teague on one side and Price on the other, it's gonna be hard to look good.

[I'M A BELIEVER]

As far as the oline goes....I would bet two things...

1) The oline will improve tremendously before the 3rd week is over. No matter WHO is lining up. Its got a lot to do with chemistry and everybody being familiar with one another.

2) The Bills will be watching the waiver wire pretty intently for some viable help; and they might even make a guard change late in the preseason.

[casdhf]

Today's lineup:

Jennings, Tucker, Teague, Smith, Williams

OMFG. I'm now more convinced than EVER that he is an egotisical nightmare. :xplode:

I mean do you need any more evidence? Never even HINTS at the fact he made mistakes. :grind:

They have been together for at least 2 years (up to this point) except for Villiarial. How much time do you need to get familiar with one another? :idunno:

[casdhf]

Spaz, Morrison said Smith was at RG?

There are 2 new starters this year Smith and Villarial.

That's not what I heard Villarial was hurt and Tucker took his spot.

Jennings is LOT, Smith is LOG, Teague C, Tucker ORG, Williams ORT.

Smith just moved up, so the poor line we have seen up to yesterday has been together for at least 2 years (except V).

[CAbills]

Villarial isnt hurt he had personal/family issues. Before we say Smith is the starter lets give him more then a day and a 1/2...

[Patti120]

I hope TD knows something that we don't and that he's just trying to be positive.
From what I've seen though, I'm worried.

Did Pucillo start last year or did I miss something?

[Mr. Cynical]

He has been on the roster since the '02 mini camp after the draft. That's 3 mini camps, 3 training camps, 2.2 preseasons and 2 regular seasons up to today.

He played in 12 games last year.

You honestly believe that he hasn't had the time to get to know the other guys on the line?
