Buffalo Rumblings — ... also quick-strike in the sense that the ball leaves the quarterback's hands quickly. None of that is bad.  Edwards is at his best when he's decisive - that's true of any quarterback.  Quick throws, a fast pace and off-balance defenses are a great idea.  Making a valiant attempt to cover up some line issues is a great idea as well - it's pretty foolish to think that the line (featuring starters Langston Walker, Andy Levitre, Geoff Hangartner, Eric Wood and Brad Butler) will be gelled to the point where ...

The offensive line.  Jason Peters was traded.  Derrick Dockery was unceremoniously released.  Duke Preston and Melvin Fowler?
