Bills’ Sean McDermott on potential O-line changes: ‘We’ll see’

Bills head coach Sean McDermott is keeping his offensive linemen on their toes.

Heading into his team’s second game of the year against the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo’s coach did not slam the door closed on changes coming to those blocking on offense. Notably in Week 1 during the Bills’ loss to the Steelers, the O-line struggled.

“We’ll see, we’re going through it,” McDermott said via video conference on Wednesday. “That’s true every week, though. We want to compete during the week, see where we’re at.”

The Steelers managed to pressure Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen consistently. Not only was play poor, so were the numerous inopportune holding penalties taken by the Bills.

There were seven, in total.

The lone offensive lineman to not take one in the game for Buffalo was Cody Ford. Still, the guard was replaced briefly by Ike Boettger in the first half so that’s not a positive sign.

Breaking this one down, McDermott did not outright say there will be any changes.

But he was asked specifically about the possibility of making a switch. In his answer, there is an opportunity for the coach to say no. He did not.
