I believe RB Brown hasn't showed up either, IIRC. Both are most likely cuts, maybe early.

We know why Bryce Brown is not there -- he become a father.

This O-line is worrisome.....

I'm about the most skeptical of people that post here, and I don't see it. I think the line is going to be fine with the personnel they have on hand. Add the new TEs and FBs all should be fine. Especially with FJax still around to pick up the occasional blitzer.

Re: Guard Chris Williams Still Not at Workouts

Can anyone think of an offensive lineman free agent signing that ever worked out for the bills? Should be a final lesson.

Nope.

A 32-year old Guard who has not played in a year and a half, a rookie drafted in the middle of the 3rd round, a 2nd year player who never saw the playing field last year and whatever Urbik is seems to be our options at these two important positions.

If Incognito and Miller don't step up in a big way we are screwed. They may be blocking air right now but they have these 2 working 1st team for 2 reasons, one they're probably showing the most and 2 they're our best hopes for a decent line. Even if they do step up the quality of our depth is a serious concern. But leaving that aside I'd feel a lot better if that penciled in depth chart turned out to be the starting lineup come regular season based on merit.

Many players have come back from injury after being out of the game for a year or more.

Incognito was not injured & in fact kept himself in shape working out while he was not playing.

And the Bills have said Miller demonstrated an abilty to grasp schemes & reatin them when he was interviewed before the draft.

I will not be surprised if Miller comes in & plays well from the start much like Cordy Glenn did.
