....that the offensive line is going to continue be the big weak spot and undermine the season. Everything else is in place to be a strong presence in the NFC. But it begins and ends with the lines.

It's only natural to question the viability of this teams Oline. I you don't you don't have questions you need to pay closer attention.

I haven't heard anything about Beavers at all. It's interesting that they have him at RT on that depth chart. I've also noticed that Hill was getting reps at RT, which I find very interesting. Be nice if Hill could be our back up at both LT and RT.

NOT helpful :p   Hate that song.  If we're going REO let's hope the OL will "Roll with The Changes" B)

I've not heard a positive thing about the offensive line yet sadly enough.  My only hope is that they can't be any worse.  Regardless if they haven't improved we are looking at a 6 win season if we are lucky.

Could be. But at the same time we talk about how good guys like Cook or Coley looked, we can conversely say how bad individually a guy like Remmers looked. Its blocking, not rocket science.

Not trying to be harsh, bud, and I know what you are saying: but at the same time, its not the best start for that group. Maybe with Reiff back and some time as the preseason goes along, they indeed will improve.

Apples and oranges...OL is a unit...but yes, Remmers got his ass beat...but Sam had a pocket to step to...that kid Yarbourgh has been lighting up Bills camp...I'm going to give them more than a quarter of football before I get too concerned...especially with a front 4 that might be better than ours...

Coley looked very good...IIRC he had a second day grade but football desire drove him down...he could be the SOD...

Really pleased with what I saw with Cook...He's got some juice behind his pads...he'll catch 40-50 balls...And damn near double the yardage that McKinnon did last on receptions...

The issue with the line is they just aren't very talented. Poor athleticism. They will definitely have to be cohesive to max their limited upside. Grains of salt in preseason for me, both good and bad....but Remmers is problematic. I agree on Coley's upside. I guess his pre-draft hits were if he was dedicated enough and staying healthy? Seems more talented than where he was selected.

I still question Sparano's "expertise" as an OL Coach. I get last year he had something like 15 different guys but you would like to think players like Clemmings and Beavers would be getting better.  Elflein and Isodora are playing quite well, let's hope Spaorano doesn't screw them up!!
