The offensive line was challenged by the Bills’ defensive front in Week 7. A lot of people see that as a big problem and are calling for the team to make some changes. Reid sees this as valuable competition and experience as the team continues to progress through the season.
“Yeah, so we’ve been fortunate to play some good defensive lines and that helps you get better,” Reid said. “So, the guys are competing. You’re going to lose every once and a while. That happens all throughout the league. You’re striving to win every battle. At the same time, we’re playing a talented defensive line. I mean, that’s the bottom line and we have another (talented defensive line) coming up this week. We look forward to those challenges, it helps you down the road to become better. Andy (Heck) is always looking for things to do upfront to work the protections and that. That’s not going to change.”
Asked about the identity of the offensive line, Reid emphasized their toughness. At the same time, he recognized that there are some things in the run game that need work.
“Well, listen, they’re a tough group,” Reid said. “They did a decent job with the pass protection yesterday against a good defensive front. Run game, we’ve got to clean a couple of things up there. There were some good things and there were some things we’ve got to take care of. What their identity is — I think it’s probably too early in the season. . . but I know they’re a tough group — a feisty group. You can take that for right now and then we’ll see how we grow.”
