    Yeah, I guess Lawrence Smith can fail to run block and get called for holding once for far less money than RB was making...

    It's probably a decent trade off, but regardless of how much Ruben's skills may have diminished, I can't help but think he just might have helped this line.

    And I'm no Ruben fan by any stretch of the imagination.
    Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

      I agree....

          he would have had to have taken a pay cut to stay here...

          but, I don't want to hear a peep out of you if the left side gets DB or TH hurt...

            As we all know one lineman does not a line make. They all looked pitiful on Saturday and I hope they all run some serious wind sprints today! I bet 5 rookies would have done a better job!!!!

              I disagree. Personally, I thought the line looked like an offensive line that is just beginning to jell, and was without their solid LT. I was disappointed at times, but other times, I was pleased with what I saw. There were some nice holes from Big Mike and he also did a nice job blocking a few of the Colts defenders to give Bledsoe a couple more seconds. However, he also had a bad play where he was beat badly. I think Sullivan was the main reason why the line looked so bad. He was terrible and was beat by his man, constantly, however he made a couple nice holes for Willis. also, Trey Teague surprised me. He looked better than last year, IMO, and looks like he has bulked up some more in the offseason/training camp.

              Also, Lawrence Smith did a pretty good job and definitely blew Pukecillo away. Give this line a few weeks to jell, along with McNally coaching them, and I think they will be pretty good.

                  waiting for juice to chime in and tell us that he would have the best line in the nfl if brown was still here pretending to be a revolving door and taking penalties.

                      If Ruben played Sat. night and committed one pnealty after another, we'd be calling for his head and criticizing TD

                        Still undecided Eb.. Practice squad players can be just as good as Pro Bowlers.

                          I think Pat Williams was a practice squad player, so you definitely make a good point. Maybe he wasn't.....wasn't he just deactivated his first year? The one plus to this guy is that Baltimore seems to develop these guys better than most.

                            If the Bills would learn to use NFL Europe they could decelop some players there. Maybe they would not be ready to play week 1-8 but maybe they could be used later in season if needed.

                              per juice...

                              smith can never hope to be as skilled as ruben's over the hill ass is now..

                              mainly because he has been on a practice squad once.

                              strong rational to argue against, ted.
