Big Blitz Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Thought this might help seeing as there are like 8 threads on Glenn, Henderson CuJo, etc. All things our Oline. Here. With Cordy back I think Henderson will get looks at RT. Im betting CuJo will get some looks at LG seeing that he's been on the left side at bama it might be a smoother transition. Glenn--CuJo--Wood--Urbik--Henderson I'd like to see this. Pears, Williams, Hairston, Cyril the backups. Or Cyril goes practice squad and we keep Unga or something.
YoloinOhio Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Ohio state guy, had off field issues and fell in draft. Has been really good for niners but holding out. Might be an upgrade over either guard we have out there now. @ProFootballTalk: Trade a possibility for holdout guard Alex Boone http://t.co/fuvW7f7Ooy
YoloinOhio Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 @AlbertBreer: Might actually make sense for Niners to deal Boone, good as he's been. Iupati's deal is coming up, and they're paying Davis, Staley already.
vincec Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 I think that Henderson will get RT looks on his way to swing tackle duty. I see Richardson pushing Urbik. My prediction: Glenn-Williams-Wood-Richardson-Pears with Urbik as G/C backup and Henderson as swing tackle. Kouandjio and Legursky round things out.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 I saw some pretty good things from Williams in the run game. Seemed like he was mauling people. Was encouraging.
3rdand12 Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 hairston over legursky please Hairston cant play center. hes too big. vincec i think you are on to something
playman Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Posted Today, 09:52 PM I think that Henderson will get RT looks on his way to swing tackle duty. I see Richardson pushing Urbik. My prediction: Glenn-Williams-Wood-Richardson-Pears with Urbik as G/C backup and Henderson as swing tackle. Kouandjio and Legursky round things out. legursky is not needed.
vincec Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 hairston over legursky please Hairston vs Legursky is going to be close, but Hairston's recurring back issues lead me to think that he's not going to make it.
The Jokeman Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 hairston over legursky please Hairston can't play Center. As here's what ideally we should have Glenn, Williams, Wood, Urbik, Koanjio. Depth: Henderson, Hairston, Legursky and Richardson. Yet thus far the only givens are Glenn and Wood
FistingBot Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Found this thread at an opportune time. I'm rewatching the game on DVR and rewinding after plays to see which guys are making plays and which aren't. And, I was just noticing how terrible Legursky was in the first half. Guy was getting owned on the majority of plays against Carolina backups. Maybe Carolina has a ton of depth on the d-line, but Legursky sure looked bad. I sure hope Wood can stay healthy this year.

Here's hoping but thus far he's only played one full NFL season since being draft, which oddly enough was last season.

Depth: Henderson, Hairston, Legursky and Richardson. Yet thus far the only givens are Glenn and Wood Right now Pears is the best RT on the team. I can't see him being cut.
The Jokeman Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Right now Pears is the best RT on the team. I can't see him being cut. True I'm just hoping Koanjio can develop over the next three preseason games otherwise we have too many OTs on this roster so it could mean cutting Hairston.
YoloinOhio Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Boone >> @thadbrown7: #49ers talented OG holding out for more $. #Bills have cap room, need at OG, motivation to trade picks (owner change). Paging Mr. Whaley...

Might be an upgrade over either guard we have out there now. @ProFootballTalk: Trade a possibility for holdout guard Alex Boone http://t.co/fuvW7f7Ooy While I would like to see this, I highly doubt it will happen. I know I wasn't thrilled with the line getting stuffed by the Panthers at the goal line. Same stuff, different year. I didn't like Chris Williams when he was signed, and after watching him whiff, and have lousy push in Carolina, I like him less. Glenn getting cleared is great news, and hopefully that line plays better. Boone >> @thadbrown7: #49ers talented OG holding out for more $. #Bills have cap room, need at OG, motivation to trade picks (owner change). Paging Mr. Whaley... Again, while I would like to see this. I gotta wonder if the team is still being held in restraints concerning the bottom line.

Kelly the Dog Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Great to have Cordy back but the Bills said he will be brought along very slowly. He didnt even pass the conditioning test yet. I doubt we see him in a game until maybe the last preseason game (although hopefully a series in game four). So we are not going to have the luxury of messing with the other linemen, unless Marrone already decided that Hairston can be the back up LT. I bet nothing changes unfortunately. Marrone has, however, stated on several occasion that he prefers the best five players out there vs. trying to keep cohesion so you never know.

Legursky was "playing center" in the 2nd half too, he just looks terrible. I thought Williams was okay and hopefully they will use Ubrik at center if anything happens to Wood. Some of the time it takes rookie guards a while to get better, so I like that we took one this year but I think it is why we brought Williams in.

In my view. This team has in the last decade sought to have great players on their D line, and yet allowed less then average players on the O line. The Bills solidify some positions on the line and fill other positions with below average players, and think this strategy will win games. I was really hoping Pears, Urbik, Legursky would be history to start this season, and as of now that isn't going to happen. At least Henderson may take over at RT once Glenn returns to LT.
