ESPN - Rookies undaunted by Buffalo's O-line overhaul

I like how these rookies are carrying themselves - obviously it's early but they're saying the right things.

I love it when people have doubts about us," Levitre said. "It just feels so much better when you can go out there and prove it. It’s something to work for. You want to go out there and prove you’re not a bad line just because you’re new

Great quote – hopefully they do play with a chip on their shoulder and give it their all. Since they’re new I expect them to compete hard and keep Trent up right while opening up some pretty good running lanes for the guys in the backfield.

Sure they’re young but they’ve got the right attitude

I am so clever that sometimes I don’t understand a single word of what I am saying

Agreed

Love the attiude, love the intelligence. I’m hoping the line jells quickly — we need to win the battle at the line of scrimmage this year to have any hope of success.

They seem like great guys,

and the O-line looks to have a bright future. But, is it the immediate future? Anyone who has played before knows that practice only teaches you so much. You have to put steel into the fire to temper it. I will feel much better once they have a few game under their belts.

The Prayer of Pass Rush - Hail Maybin, blessed with a quick first step, Bruce is with thee; most reverenced art thou among DEs in the AFC, and blessed be the fruit of thy pass rush. Holy Lord, Father of the swim move, we pray for our QB hurries to be numerous and our sacks to be plentiful. Be with us in Victory and at the hour of our Defeat. Amen.
