tennesseeboy Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 Just because the guy you already have can't cut it doesn't mean the guy(s) available in the draft are automatically an upgrade. Right..but it does mean that the guy you already have can't cut it and you are going to have another losing seasoning if you don't get someone who can.
yungmack Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 Right..but it does mean that the guy you already have can't cut it and you are going to have another losing seasoning if you don't get someone who can. True enough. It's the old Catch-22.
Bufcomments Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 You guys are forgetting about Kyle Williams. He may be able to handle the NT position. They might have to jump back into the second and get his rotation backup, say Cam Thomas. I think they do what they have to to get either Brown or Saffold in the 2nd. I don't see Bell being anything more than a backup at this point.
Rockinon Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 Bell may not be the answer at LT, but he very well could be the answer at RT That's kind of what I was thinking, but they have to find a LT for that to happen first.

I don't see Bell being anything more than a backup at this point. I think Kyle is 100% capable, but I also think that some depth there would go a long way when comes to stopping the run. Don't know who can fill that bill though. NTs of that size and caliber are a rare find.
....lybob Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 I think Meredith would make a better RT than Bell- Bell is very athletic but he needs to improve his strength and technique, has he been putting in the hard work with the weights? he didn't have the improvement last year that I was wishing for went from 305 to 307 not much of an improvement, but we do seem to have more serious conditioning program now so I am somewhat hopeful.
HurlyBurly51 Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 OT's still Available:Bruce Campbell Charles Brown Rodger Saffold Vladimir Ducasse I'm hopeful we get one in the 2nd today, and that we're not content with Bell. I'd like to see either Saffold or Campbell. The real question would be whether if any of them were drafted could they and should they start for the Bills next year. Surely one of them is better than Bell...right? Well if you believe Nolan Nawrocki (and you should), Saffold is ready to come out and start at LT as a rookie.
OldTimer1960 Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 Just because the guy you already have can't cut it doesn't mean the guy(s) available in the draft are automatically an upgrade. Thank you! This point seems to be lost on a lot of people.
sabres...yawn Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 Considering he never played in the NFL before I thought D. Bell played pretty well. Is Kirk Chambers still on the team? If so, why?
