All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Discarded by the Chicago Bears late in the 2004 season, Gandy signed with the Bills during the offseason. The Bills didn't even know what they were getting in the sixth-year veteran, but he was able to win the left tackle job and was one of only two offensive linemen to start every game.
In fact, he probably was the most consistent performer on an offensive line maligned for its inconsistency.
Gandy had twice as many holding penalties than any other lineman, and allowed 7 sacks. All the other linemen together had 7 holding penalties to Gandy's 6.

Now they are trying to tell us that he's good?
Right
Is that only certain penalties??? I can't believe that Bennie Anderson doesn't have atleast that many in false starts. He committed 1-2 per game and there are 16 games!!!

I would like to see where those numbers came from.

cas,
I'm just letting you know that you have been given 2 points for telling Wys AKA Mark to kill himself.
Gandy was going up against some pretty good defensive competition. Look at it this way - if your primo pass rushing defensive end had only 7 sacks for the year, you would not be crowing about it.
Gandy hardly missed a snap during the whole season.
He was consistently shutting down opponents best pass rushers week in, and week out, the only time I really recall him getting beat is against the Jets in the last game of the season last year when John Abraham completely ran right around him to sack Holcomb on 4th down.
He should continue to only get better as he continues to learn, and perhaps having a better Guard next to him in Reyes.
You're right, I am a coward! I haven't any courage at all. I even scare myself.
i can deal with one holding call and one sack every other game. maybe i am crazy.
PS Jonas Jennings in his first four seasons in the league averaged 1 holding penalty every 6.5 games and 1 sack every 4 games for 16-game averages of 3 holdings and 4 sacks. He wasn't nearly the best LT in the league either.

Not sure what you mean by "certain penalties." Do you mean not declined penalties?
Of all the linemen that started games last season, ...
Gandy had 8 penalties, 1 of those declined (6 holding, 2 False Start)
Anderson had 9 penalties, 1 declined (3 holding, 5 FS, 1 illegal use of hands)
Villarrial had 5 penalities, all enforced, 1 holding, 3 FS, 1 unnecessary roughness
Teague had 3 penalties, 2 holding, 1 FS
Peters had 3 penalties, 1 holding, 2 FS
Williams and Jerman each had 1 FS penalty each.
Yards are misleading since half the distance can be half a yard. But Gandy (54) and Anderson (57) accounted for 111 of the OL's 201 penalty yards.
