Simply the better player at RG? How does he know this? It's a matter of health, I think. The best thing about both of them is that they can play pretty much every position on the OL.

The wild card here is Dillard, who is bigger and stronger and faster than either of these guys.

I don't think they keep anyone on the roster that Stoutland doesn't think he can work with, it's not like WR, where you need enough bodies for the 3rd or 4th team, but it's pretty obvious scrubs is scrubs.

Driscoll - is he strong enough to start inside? Good enough to back up RT

Dillard - LT to RG is a big transition, but this team is weird, with Mailata/Dickerson, the power side is the left side, so they may want mobile OL on the right side and pull left

Opeta - straight line fast but lateral agility? Think he's on the bubble

Awosika - they protected him all season on the PS and started him in the Dallas "exhibition" game where he showed well, so keep him in mind

Anderson - picked him up on the waiver wire and also started him at center against Dallas, at 6'5 315 he could also fill in at guard

Interesting tidbit from Bill preseason camp - It was actually Buffalo’s lowest-selected rookie, seventh rounder Jack Anderson, who was graded by PFF as the Bills’ best rookie. : 

Highest: G Jack Anderson, 75.7

Anderson looks like much welcomed interior depth at this point. He wasn’t asked to do much in the run game at Texas Tech, but Anderson has looked excellent in that regard so far. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to crack the active roster, but he’s back in Buffalo on the practice squad.

Jarred Williams was the best athlete of the 3 UDFAs, but I think at best they're PS fodder

Toth - college OT with OT size, 6'6 291 coming out so they redshirted him to bulk him up, has played all five spots, good athlete, at 26 this is his 'make or break" camp

Yeah i found it curious. I’d have thought seumalo would be the leader in the clubhouse. He also said in one of his responses than Driscoll was playing close to a pro bowl level before he got hurt so take it for what it’s worth. 

you guys are all higher on dillard than I am. I like him. Think he’s solid. I saw he got himself into great shape. But i look at it this way. Jason peters who is one of the best offensive lineman the Eagles have had. They tried to move him from left tackle to left guard in one off-season and he struggled with it. Granted at the end of his career but he’s also really smart he struggled not just with it physically. So it’s not going to be easy for dillard.  it wasnt easy for dillard when they tried to switch him to right tackle (granted gave him a week to do which was absurd). But to the point since he’s been basically the backup LT cause if lane gets hurt they shuffle mailata to RT. I know they tried to teach him RT to be a swing. But as they showed they don’t believe that was the best thing to do when injury struck. Think learning an entirely new position in guard (and on the right side if he’s going to start) in a few months is not going to be easy. I’m hoping he does cause that would be nice though. 

I'm not going to opine on Dillard at guard because I have seen nothing of him there. I will say that Driscoll was not nearly at Pro Bowl level last year so I don't know where that comes from. Excellent technique but not a dominant run blocker. 

Driscoll's a nice player. I don't know if he can be more than that. I know Stoutland likes him a lot so I'm probably underrating him here.

Interesting. I’d have gone predator. Even though they are considered not "great” movies i still watch last action hero, kindergarten cop and jingle all the way when they come on. I enjoy them 

Predator is in the "if it's on TV, I'm watching it" genre.  Hi-jacking your game.

What movie, if on TV, do you find yourself watching?

Back to the Future trilogy, Top Gun, any Happy Madison Production movie, Road House, Point Break, Home Alone/2, Just Friends to name a few here.

Nuts to that. Best Arnold Schwarzenegger movie of all time…. And go

First Terminator.

Gonna blow up with this hot take. Let me preface this by saying I actually enjoyed his older movies and this is more around the early 2000s it just felt like he started doing the same role for like 95% of his movies. Just over and over and over again. I can’t stand Tom cruise and i hate that there’s a million mission impossible and john reacher movies.

Figured the blog would be more interested in our signing of Keric Wheatfall. Alas, here we are.

We can't talk about him until September

For sure those movies. I tend to watch forgetting Sarah Marshall when it comes on a lot. I’d also say some of the marvel movies, kindergarten cop is on that list, Austin powers, the rock and con air even though they are what they are.  There’s definitely more on this list

No preface needed.  Top Gun and Risky Business are probably the only TC movies I like.  Top Gun mainly because I'm a huge aviation nerd.  Risky Business I just think is a solid 80s movie

What is it about Con Air that makes it a keep on movie?  I do the same.  Also since the great Nick Cage has entered the arena.  Gone in 60 Seconds and the National Treasure movies are on the list, same with the Night at the Museum movies.

I loved the sequence in Dubai outside the building in Ghost Protocol. 

He was ludicrous as Reacher.

The TV series with Alan Richson is infinitely better.

Idk i feel like cage movies are never like great movies but they keep you entertained and you watch them for the purpose of just zoning out. I watched the rock this weekend when it came on lol. his new movie was pretty entertaining. Was slow to start but picked up. Had a bunch of good laughs in it. 

Meet the parents is on there too. I’d say dumb and dumber and Zoolander as well . 

I will say this about Tom Cruise and his MI movies.  I think it's pretty cool that the majority of his stunts are real and he does them.  As a fan of practical effects I really appreciate this.

Dumb and Dumber without a doubt.  Zoolander isn't on enough to fall in to the category but if it's on, I'm watching.

Unpopular opinion...I can't sit through Joe Dirt.

That Apatow era of comedies in the late 2000s was a strong run. 40 Year Old Virgin, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Super Bad, and I Love You Man were great. I'm a big DiCaprio fan, so I'll watch any of his movies when they're on. Wolf of Wall Street, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Catch Me If You Can, Shutter Island, Departed, etc. Those all seem to be on TV a lot. 

As for best Schwarzenegger movies, you can make a case for any of the ones listed. I thought Last Action Hero was an underrated film of his. It was a self-aware movie that poked fun of his previous action movies with all of the tropes. I thought it was a creative movie considering when it came out. It never really got the recognition it deserved because it came out the same week as Jurassic Park and got lost in its backdraft.

A good friend of mine and I quote joe dirt all the time. It has a bunch of good quotable lines. Step brothers is on that list too. I tend to watch 21 and 22 junk street movies with Jonah hill and Channing Tatum when they pop on. If Aladdin comes onto free form i usually watch

The Last Samurai, The Color of Money, A Few Good Men, The Firm, Minority Report, Collateral.  I can't stand him either, but I like all of these movies.

Totally forgot about 40 year old virgin and super bad. Role models is on there too. And the first two American pie movies. Leo has some great movies to his name that are very re-watchable. Love the departed and wolf of Wall Street.
