2. REBUILT OFFENSIVE LINE

There are 17 offensive linemen on the Bills roster heading into training camp, and eight of them were not here last year. Drafting and signing offensive line prospects was a clear priority for the team this offseason, and now figuring out how they line up has become the focus.

Nagging injuries to some top candidates this spring (Mitch Morse, Ty Nsekhe, and others) prevented the team from settling on a starting lineup up front.

But new offensive line coach Bobby Johnson isn't worried.

"It's not like we have zero idea of who we have," he says. "A lot of these guys have a body of work. They have something that you can go back and look at say this is how this guy plays. Now, how they fit together is what we're trying to figure out. And what is the best combination. Sometimes the five most talented guys might not be your best line, it's the best five that work together, that work as one."

Johnson says evaluation of offensive line play has much more meaning once the players start wearing pads, and that won't happen until training camp. And the new line coach says the fact that some of his charges missed snaps in the spring, due to injury, might mean a sharper level of focus at training camp.
