I've been a fan longer than you. The difference between you and I is that I understand football and you're merely a blind homer.
I'm glad the coaches are happy with his progress but camp hasn't even started yet. Let's get that going and the first 3 pre-season games before making out the depth chart on ANY position.
Right now, it's all happy talk and I sure don't believe what reporters have to say. We all have eyes.

As for Kujo, him winning the RT spot would be ideal since Hendy is far more suited for/better at LT.

LOL. You fellahs are bold!
And you left out poor Eric Wood. :wink:

Hey now! I thought I owned that title, no?
Come on guys. Stop taking things so personally. Let's talk about football, not who's the best of worst Bills poster on the internet, who's dumb, who's stupid, who's ******ed, and who's the bigger fan. There's a time and place for Jerry Springer, and now is not the time nor is this the place for such drama.
This isn't a pissing contest. Lighten' up a little, the Bills have the best team they've had in years. It's okay to be a homer! We're all homers at heart.
Enough of the personal attacks, they're not productive and they make the Bills Zone look like a website for teenage girls that like to bicker and argue about things that don't matter. Now put down those wine coolers, grab a beer, chill out and enjoy the summer because we will all be raking leaves in no time.
We have 6 weeks to stew in our diapers that smell like roses compared to previous years. It's okay to be overly positive. It's okay to have different ideas.
If everyone had the same ideas and we all thought alike, nobody would be here right now. That would suck.
I have to admit that I did not expect the Bills offensive line to have any resemblance of cohesion so early in the off season.
The offensive line was the biggest issue to a lot of fans, even bigger than the quarterback situation.
"Doesn't matter how good the quarterback is, the offensive line sucks."
Read that a few hundred times since the end of the 2014 season.
I don't think it's fair to judge an offensive line that will likely have 3 new starters on it in 2015 at this point in time.
Glenn is healthy. Incognito is showing signs of leadership and the players respect him, John Miller was born to play guard, and Cyrus Kouandjio has done what none of us thought was possible.
I'm even more excited about this team now. Henderson played poorly last year and the coaches decided to address the issue. Is that not a good thing?

Thinking about the Bills offensive line, can you name the starting guards from last year?
Chris Williams (injured), Cyril Richardson, Kraig Urbik...am I forgetting anyone? Oh yeh, Erik Pears (released).
I think Incognito and Miller will be huge upgrades over the lack of talent the Bills had last year at the guard position.
Wood and the tackles will benefit the most. Glad to see Kouandjio playing tackle, not guard.

Seantrel was terrible last season so this isn't automatically good news. On the other hand, I can't think of many 2nd round picks that essentially got practice squaded (healthy scratched all season). I can't imagine there are many that then somehow turn it around and play well. So if that actually happens, I'd be pretty happy.
I was really hoping we'd sign Bulaga to upgrade that spot, but at this point I'll take any good news about our Oline!

I think we have a bunch of big strong, athletic enough guys that will do fine in what Roman intends, no matter who is starting and who is backing up who atm. It's June.
glad to hear that he's had a strong showing thus far.
It is, indeed, regrettable that our offense is still going to suck.
And I would be THRILLED to be proven wrong on this. But i think our offense still sucks hairy balls.
The OL and QB are our biggest question marks.
It's super awesome to have a sweet DL and have solid talent at virtually every other spot. But if there were two things i would NOT want to have question marks at, it's the OL and QB.
We've seen time and time again that a solid OL and QB can (almost exclusively of every other position on the field) win in this league on their own.
To be fair, we've also seen dominant Defenses lead by the DL do it. But you need some kind of a pulse on offense.
I'm praying these guys pull through... But i'm worried that we're wasting a top notch Defense.
Any optimism i have is (rightly) tempered by our past performance on offense. That is to say, we've been freaking beyond bad.
All Hail Josh Allen! Savior of the Buffalo Bills!

Well, I am not sold yet on our O Line being a question mark. Ok, maybe they are a question mark, but maybe that question mark becomes a exclamation mark. Honestly, there is no way it is worse than last year. And with Incognito, Kujo and Miller this might become at least a decent line. Ok, it's homerism that all three pan out. But I am very positive that Incognito plays very well (not Pro-Bowl level, but way better than average) and I am rather positive that either Kujo or Seantrel steps up in their second year. So there are two improvements. I am the least sold on Miller, but improvemnt on two spots would already be great.
Combine that with the fact that in my opinion the SF O-line overachieved under Roman's scheme we could have a decent to good line.
The QB on the other hand ... well ...
Well, I said before that players can improve with Coaching & experience.
And I read that OL players from Alabama take a little longer to develop into NFL players than from some other schools.
You add in an OL scheme that suits Kujo more than the scheme Marrone used & Kujo could make a huge jump in his play this year.
You can call me a HOMER, but I think the OL will be MUCH IMPROVED from last year.
Oh yeah, & Mario Williams who has been going against Kujo in practice is IMPRESSED with Kujo.
Mario says Kujo has the size, arm length, speed & versatility you don't see often.

How much of Kujo "taking over the RT position" is Kujo playing well vs Henderson missed an airplane and got demoted? This seems WAY premature to me. Sort of like the hysterical practice by practice labeling at QB that goes on here. Just dumb. Kujo was a fat doughboy that would have been cut last year if he wasn't a 2nd round pick. He richly deserved not to suit up for games. Is he better? I would sure hope so. But I think I'll hold off on putting his name on the Wall until I see where he is in real games, if he's still on the field then that is.
