Two years ago at training camp when everyone was thinking we had O line issues I heard Buges talking like we had the best O line in the NFL. It was then I wondered if he was either blind or really thought that our O Line was in great shape as he stated. I believe he said that our O Line would be a strength of the team. I think what he has done for the skins was great but I think his time had come.

I have been listening to "Bugle speak" (as I refer to it) for a long time. He has never had anything but high praise for all the linemen he's coached through the years, even when we know some of them did no warrant it. It's the character make-up of the man as we got to know him. I have yet to hear him make a derogatory or disparaging remark about any of his guys.

I agree it was probably time for him to move on no one recognized that fact more than he did.....Everyone's time must come sooner or later.

Buges would run through walls for his guys, and vice versa. Talent aside he would never talk down on his guys.

Now if you missed a block or any assignment during a game, he may have some not so nice things to say to you when you come to the sideline, but publicly he was going to praise you to high heaven.
