Bills Prove Rule: It’s the Blocking, Not the Back
Interesting article by KC Joyner about the Bills run blocking last year. Unsurprisingly, when at least one lineman was beat at the POA, Lynch and Jackson's rushing average dropped significantly.
One point in the article is that Dockery was the Bills's second best run blocker (by %POA win)... but who was the best?

Very good read
I think an upgraded center and more of a mean attitude will help. I always hear how OL love to run block.

It's certainly interesting.
Most of us would agree with his findings. Seeing Lynch get the handoff and run into the back of Fowler or Preston (The OL of suck) was awful. Hopefully the complete revamp will make that a more palatable number.
