I am the least worried about Butler

Of all the “projected” starters on the re-worked O-Line I actually think Butler causes the least amount of concern because of a combination of factors. His size, intelligence, work ethic, attitude and college experience all make me breathe easy about his move to the outside.

From most to least here are my rankings of concern/worry for the re-shuffled* O-line:

1) Levitre (LG)
2) Walker (LT)
3) Wood (RG)
4) Hangartner ©
5) Butler (RT)

*I am basing this off the most popular projection of the opening day lineup. Certainly this could all change and we could see some combination of McKinney, Chambers and/or Bell receive significant playing time.

What do you Rumblers think? Who are you most and least worried about among our new offensive line starters?

Position wise, I am most “worried” about the interior. Hangartner, and the rookies, or any other combo of players has to be stromger than Dockery and Fowler. Fowler was the real killer and I don’t think he’s even gotten picked up.

The Bills CAN win every game

I don't get it

If you are so confident the interior will be better than last year why are you worried?

because it’s not difficult to be better then last year’s interior. We don’t need a better line, we need a dominant line. Better wont cut it this year.

I'm trying to be more judicious about what I post.

If I posted every Bills story it’d be TO TO TO TO TO butler TO TO TO TO trent TO TO TO TO….

Brian keeps talking up Chris Brown this time of year, and rightfully so, but the Buffalo News has had a great month, too. Jerry Sullivan doing some great stuff and Mark Gaughan writing good stuff from OTAs.
