3. John Miller Will Receive First-Team Reps
The Buffalo offensive line, particularly in the middle at the guard positions, were a mess last season. Whether it was EJ Manuel or Kyle Orton, one of the two quarterbacks were often under pressure from defensive lines and the running backs didn’t perform well with runs up the middle.
To help solve that issue Rex Ryan brought in Richie Incognito and drafted John Miller 81st overall in this years’ NFL draft. Buffalo chose to address the position last year as well when they brought in Cyrus Kouandjio and Cyril Richardson in the 2014 NFL draft, neither of which impressed enough to receive any consideration of starting throughout their rookie season.
I believe it’s Buffalo’s full intentions to have Miller ready to go for the start of the season. The amount of work he gets between now and the start of the preseason will tell all.
