Actually, the offensive line is one place where a rookie can jump in and be effective due to how hard it is to find good OL's. See Richmond Webb, Erik Williams, and Ruben Brown who all had great rookie years.
No, the offensive line doesn't suck...it did, but it won't this year...Once again, the Bills picked up Trey Teague from the Broncos line - if you recall the Broncos have had not one, not two, but three 1000 yard rushers in the last few years...that's gotta tell you a little something about how good this guy is....They also picked up Marcus Price who's been on a few teams and can play tackle or guard.
I'm not huge on Shawn Bryson or Travis Henry either, but it's a semblance of a running game.
Barring injury, with Brown, Teague and Mike Williams, the Bills line immediately goes from league worst to top half of the league.
Bledsoe's only 30...he led a team to a Super Bowl...he's got Moulds, Price, Riemersma, and Jeremy McDaniel to throw to...a change of scenery will do him good.
From CNNSI's Peter King:
9. Buffalo. Since the day I watched Bryant McKinnie make mincemeat out of Dwight Freeney in a Miami-Syracuse game last fall, I thought McKinnie was the type of franchise tackle any team would love. I don't think Mike Williams is as good, though he's certainly a good player. But to get Bledsoe for next year's No. 1 -- that makes the weekend worthwhile. It's true that Bledsoe over the past four seasons has morphed into an everyday quarterback, but that's better than the Bills had. Now, with Bledsoe and Alex Van Pelt under center, the Bills should be at least a 9-7 team this fall
