Offensive Line

This entire post reeks of "We lost in a shutout and our O-line looks like the Jets or Steeler lines".

The reality is quite different.

Both injured RGs were healthier and removing rust. Cannon still has a chance to replace Connolly. Connolly as the chief interior reserve solves all interior reserve questions including C. Svitek is currently dinged, but he is a good swing tackle and can even handle some G assignments.

The entire line is young and talented. The reserves are older but experienced.

They opened enough holes to let the RBs acuumulate 162 yards on the ground. What's not to like?

CONGRATS AZPatsFan, you got my like # 2000 :rocker:
 
Let's see. First there was no TE who could block. Second, we couldn't run the hurry-up because of the inexperience of Thompkins and the lack of a TE. Third, Brady only had 2 receiving targets plus Thompkins who he had to use a lot, so they had to hold back the defense for more time.

The offensive line played reasonably well. We'll see the reps, but I think that Cannon played a lot. Our six man line made up for not having a blocking TE.

Let's re-sign Fells or even Ballard and stop this bad dream. And yes, we would than have Gronkowski and another blocker when Gronk comes back.

The Bills have a fantastic defensive line with Williams, Dareus and Williams, all three are huge athletic all pro players.

I would still like to see Ballard and Fells resigned just the same.
