Stability Up Front

Speaking of that offensive line…

The biggest disappointment this season hasn’t been Tyrod Taylor or LeSean McCoy or even rookie wideout Zay Jones. It’s been the play of the offensive line.

If there was a strength from last season coming into this year, it was the offensive line. While its play in the passing game was suspect at times in 2016, it was dominant in the run game.

Some of the blame could be attributed to the change in running scheme. However, the play of the right side of the line has been horrific.

John Miller has been bad at times this year, but Vlad Ducasse, who seems to have overtaken Miller, has been even worse. Right tackle Jordan Mills has struggled as well.

The solution could be reinstating Corey Glenn as left tackle and flipping Dion Dawkins to the other side. Seantrel Henderson deserves to get some looks at right tackle as well.

If the offensive line can get back on track, this offense will be able to score points again.

The Bills can’t continue to rely on their defense to carry them. They won’t be successful much longer if that’s the case.
