How Would You Fix The Offensive Line?

[swiper]

I know we have our differences with the blocking scheme, but this is something we do agree on.

I've already mentioned these before, but short term I would replace Pears with Urbik, and work KuJo at guard in practice and see if he can find a spot to excel at. Longer term I would be shopping for a G in FA, or a C better than Wood (FA or draft) and slide him over to guard. I understand there is youth on the oline, but still think part of the problem is the calls coming from Wood. That may not necessarily be Wood's fault, because Hackett needs to take a real hard look at his run play design, especially relative to how the blocking schemes tie in with the type/direction of runs he's trying to utilize...they just aren't syncing up. Maybe more man is the answer, maybe just better reads/keys/assignments from zone.

Kuoandijo is playing at guard on the scout team.

Chris Hairston could probably do a whole lot better at LG or RG.

No. Not according to Marrone. He tried him there and put Richardson/Pears in instead.

Maybe the Bills need to go old school, I mean really old school.

Back to the time players played on both the offense & defense.

Dareus to LG & Kyle Williams to RG.










NO I'm not serious to those that can't take a joke.

Cyril Richardson needs to be benched.

His play at left guard is the biggest problem the Bills have on offense.

Cordy Glenn is crying for help. The kid next to him doesn't have a clue as to what he's doing on the field and has been totally overwhelmed.

Richardson is nowhere near ready to start. I don't think it is possible for Kraig Urbik to play any worse than Richardson. He can play both guard positions, and center.

So that's it right?

No way, Jose. Simply inserting Urbik in for Richardson is NOT going to solve the Bills offensive line problems.

How about moving Pears back to right tackle, and trying to use Seantrel Henderson at left guard with Urbik filling in right side next to Pears?

Pears isn't a good right guard. He is a bad right guard. He is at least an average right tackle.

Glenn, Henderson, Wood, Urbik, Pears ?

The only change compared to last year would be Henderson playing left guard, which is why I like the idea.

It's a shakeup, but not as big of a shakeup as it looks.

Having Seantrel Henderson playing next to Cordy Glenn, why not? Henderson is a better football player than Richardson, and could be great playing next to Cordy Glenn.

Another good reason to move Henderson inside to left guard is his youth. He's not an old hog trying to learn new line tricks.

During Bills training camp this summer, Henderson practiced exclusively on the left side.

Then Doug Marrone had the bright idea of completely changing the right side of his offensive line, which has been a huge mistake.

Why not go back to what worked last year?

The Bills could run the ball last year (and years before) with Urbik and Pears on the right side.

Urbik and Pears back together again on the right side, with Seantrel Henderson at left guard.

You're welcome, Cordy.

I would start by firing Doug Moron and Nate can't Hackett.

Well we neglected the O-line for years. Trend continues.

Neglected the oline for years?


Glenn - 2nd rd pick
Wood - 1st rd pick
Kouandjio - 2nd rd pick
Richardson - 5th rd pick

That's 3 high draft picks spent on the oline within 5 years.
