The Bunk Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Sometimes to get the rats out you have to burn down the barn...
Bangarang Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 BPA at #8 will probably be an O-lineman...... Drafting a guard at 8 is a terrible idea. This draft is very deep for interior lineman. Last year's elite guard to come out was selected late in the 1st. Buddy has stated he drafts tackles and moves them inside if they can't play tackle.
BillsVet Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Draft Chance Warmack. Hopefully the Chiefs don't take him #1 and he falls to us.
CaliBillsfan Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 is any one awake at 1 Bills Drive. How do you let Levitre go and not tie up his back up??? Gonna be a LOOOOOONG Offseason!
Kelly the Dog Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Guess we better get used to the TJax show, or trading back into the first for the QB they want. Well, now it's time for all those people who talked about how guards are a dime a dozen to be proven right, because the Bills now need two, including a starter. And drafting one at #8 would tell me the Bills don't exactly think they're a dime a dozen. You have to think though that the Bills simply didn't want him if he signed a one year deal, which I guarantee is for little money, to play for the Chargers the second day of FA.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 I legit lol'd a couple of times in this thread.
Storm Front Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 This team is the pits. The slow slide to becoming the worst team in the NFL continues its incline. Let's sign some more washed up, back-up LB's and be done with it.
RuntheDamnBall Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 You have to think though that the Bills simply didn't want him if he signed a one year deal, which I guarantee is for little money, to play for the Chargers the second day of FA. That's fine, he can be upgraded upon. I just want to see that happen before they are left scraping the bottom of the barrel.
BRAWNDO Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 He's only played RG in his career. He's also 32. IIRC Urbik has played other positions on the line and a two to three year contract for Moore might make him a serviceable stop gap.
FLFan Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 You have to think though that the Bills simply didn't want him if he signed a one year deal, which I guarantee is for little money, to play for the Chargers the second day of FA. That would be logical. Does not seem to me that losing a 32 year old career back up guard is make or break. Marrone is an ex OL and OL coach. I am sure he knows what he wants even if the rest of us do not.
Rob's House Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 I'm taking some comfort in the fact that we're still only down 1 starting spot on the OL, we have an abundance of OTs (maybe one moves inside), & Marrone is an OL guy & perhaps knows what he wants to do. Hopefully there's a plan in place here.
dollars 2 donuts Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) Yesterday I wanted to throw up a little bit when Levitre left. ...now I want to throw up a lot. A hole that could have been filled with a known quantity (and quality) is now quite empty. I love the Bills and I will "try" to stay optimistic. However, if you are fan of this team HOW DO YOU NOT have this sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach? Edited March 13, 2013 by dollars 2 donuts
BillsWatch Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Think part of reason why we lost two OL was because they were comfortable with Joe D and since he was not retained linemen decided they might as well restart somewhere else now since team is restarting.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 This could be an indication of what kind of offense they are going to run and what kind of OG they want. We don't have the luxury of being picky when it comes to o-linemen. The o-line around here has been so bad for so many years that I think the FO and staff need to keep the criteria simple-- pick (and keep) big guys that stay healthy and can block.
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 ...ok, NOW I'm nervous. Not that Rhrinehart set my world on fire, but my justifcation for taking a rookie QB as a starter was "Well, we have two great Running Backs and a damn good O-line", but suddenly we're looking thin at a place that we have no reason to be thin. Before I could tell myself, "Eh, we could probably make due by shuffling who we have". Not anymore.
The Big Cat Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) Ah yes, the irreplaceable Chad !@#$ing Rhinehart. Get a grip, fellas. Actually, I should expound. As I watched last night play out, I got the sneaking suspicion that so many teams (like the Bills) were holding their horses knowing their will be cap/roster casualties that greatly expand the current FA pool. Knowing that we picked up Pears and Urbrik from the trash heap, I'm not in the least bit concerned that--three months before training camp--we have a spot or two to fill on the O-Line. I don't think we yet have a full grasp of available inventory. Edited March 13, 2013 by taC giB ehT
TallskiWallski83 Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Makes you wonder if theyre thinking about moving Cordy Glenn to G if one of the top tackles falls to them...or drafting Warmack. EIther way I dont see why this is anything to freak out about. Guard is one of the easiest positions to replace in the entire NFL.
JM57 Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Overreactions a plenty. Guards are a dime a dozen in this league. Quick name the guards for the Falcons Seahawks and Ravens. And any guard on the 49ers not named Iupati. No Google
RuntheDamnBall Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Ah yes, the irreplaceable Chad !@#$ing Rhinehart. Get a grip, fellas. No one thinks he is irreplaceable (I don't think), but they thought he was a solid reserve who could step in and start if they needed him to. At least, that's how I felt. He was an OK Plan B. Now, Plan A and Plan B are out and they need a starter and a reserve, with the better players getting scratched off the market daily. That's all.
