    Cyrus Kouandjio Has Taken Over The Starting Right Tackle Position

    It's his job to win, not lose.

    This is great news for the Bills offensive line.

    Kouandjio played almost every single snap of OTAs and minicamp with the first team offense at right tackle.

    I never thought that would happen after Kujo didn't start a single game in 2014. A lot of people, myself included thought he was a huge 2nd round bust.

    Even though Henderson struggled last year, I didn't think he would get demoted so quickly. Something happened or didn't happen that set himself apart from the competition.

    After the 2014 season, Kouandjio was determined to get better and seriously committed himself to a training program to help him become a starting tackle in the NFL. His hard work and determination have paid off. He is now penciled in as the starting right tackle for the Buffalo Bills.

    The starting job wasn't handed to him, the kid earned it. Cyrus Kouandjio is a pleasant surprise, the most surprising of all this off season.

    Glenn, Incognito, Wood, Miller, Kouandjio

    That has been the starting offensive line unit all throughout OTAs and minicamp.

    The Bills offensive line is starting to, "gel," well before anyone ever expected it to.

    How can you say that when 60% of the offensive line is brand new and you've never seen it before?

    The additions were pitiful.

    Can't be true. The experts here have already declared him a bust.

    Come on, SpikedLemonade. Calling Incognito and Miller, 'pitiful,' without watching a single snap is a bit mellow yello dramatic.

    The line was good before Marrone came to town. Most of it's still here.

    Re: Cyrus Kouandjio Has Taken Over The Starting Right Tackle Position

    From what is being reported, Kouandjio went balls-to-the-wall to improve on his own this offseason with professional help. Seems the desire is there at any rate...no reason not to hope he develops into a decent player. Remember that he was only 20-years-old when he was drafted last year.

    Incognito could make the Pro-Bowl and Spiked would still claim that he suck. Because, of something that is unrelated to football.

    He's a Buffalo Bills Flinstone kid, building strong and growing.

    Rex Ryan is the Grand Poobah. He's Fred Flinstone incarnate in Buffalo.

    Who is Bamm-Bamm Rubble? The adopted son, Cyrus Kouandjio.

    Shouldn't the first line of the op be "It's his job to lose, not win."?

    If the QB isn't Pebbles, we might have something here.

    Kouandjio has an opportunity to became the next Terrell Troup. Champion of the off-season.

    Spiked is still mad that Pegula bought the Bills instead of Bon Jovi & the rest of the Toronto carpetbaggers.

    I always prefer that somebody takes the job and leaves the coaches no options than that both bumble around and the coaches start guy A because he also started last year

    Re: Cyrus Kouandjio Has Taken Over The Starting Right Tackle Position

    Sorry but you have read way too far into this. This is purely motivation to get Sentreal Henderson motivated for camp. Thd pads will go on and Kjuondo will be the 2nd round reach pick that we thought we had. Thd fact that our 2nd rounder was a healthy scratch all last season is not encouraging for his future.

    So remember you said this when the 2015 Bills don't get to 9-7. Then you can tell everyone how wrong (stupid) that is or, you can admit that Rex Ryan isn't such a good coach.
