Evan Silva ranks the NFLs Offensive Lines

30. Buffalo Bills (4)

LT: Demetrius Bell
LG: Andy Levitre
C: +Eric Wood
RG: *Kraig Urbik
RT: Mansfield Wrotto

You can make a strong argument that this is the least talented line in football, but Chan Gailey's creative scheming keeps it from getting his quarterback killed. The entire right side is comprised of other teams' castoffs, and undersized Levitre is a big run-blocking liability. The Bills seem to think the world of Bell, but he's one of the worst left tackles in the NFL. Expect a carousel of starters at the positions currently manned by Urbik and Wrotto, and lots of quick outs from a noodle-armed quarterback. It's no surprise that deep threat Lee Evans is on the outs; they can't get him the ball.

Biggest beneficiary: Ryan Fitzpatrick. Short throws are his bread and butter.

Wow, talk about harsh words, I think the line will be improved this year. Only time will tell I guess.

Remember Chan took Mike Tomczak to a divisional playoff! The guy can coach QBs!

Newton will be a BUST at the next level, mark my words. He looked very pedestrian in the BCS game. He might be full of Athletic abilities but so was Vince & Jamarcus. He can’t read a defense to save his life! - Keysh67
