BillsBytheBay Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Ha ha ha gotta love OTA's In a contract year? Can't imaginethat, and it was reported he came in In fabulous shape, and with lower weight than last year.
FLFan Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Wood could be the odd man out. Kujo - Miller - Incognito - Glenn - Henderson Has Incognito ever in his life played Center? Don't think this is very likely.
BillsBytheBay Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Wood could be the odd man out. Kujo - Miller - Incognito - Glenn - Henderson wow, the only one I see here that might be right is Miller, and now we're penciling in rookies... Glenn, ?, wood, incognito, Henderson/ maybe cujo..
thebandit27 Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Has Incognito ever in his life played Center? Don't think this is very likely. Yes, he played center for his final 2 years at Nebraska.
Kelly the Dog Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Someone mentioned it up thread but we don't really have a blocking TE. Roman has been known to use unbalanced lines and extra OTs lined up as TEs in running formations. The swing tackle is going to get some decent playing time I think even without injury. Plus in order for Glenn or either of the other two to be made OG, we would have to sign a veteran OT who was good enough to come in and play right away. We only have three legitimate OT candidates on the entire team right now.
Mango Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Carucci has been wrong pretty regularly for some time now. We just notice it more because he only reports on Buffalo.
CountryCletus Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Not sure this had been mentioned, as I only read about 1/2 of this thread, I'm sorry if it has... Moving Glenn to guard would significantly decrease our chances of re-signing him. He's played at an acceptable level for years at LT, and when his contract is up, will command LT money. Moving him inside would hit his salary (I believe) about $4M per year... While that would be great for us, I'm pretty sure that wouldn't work for him, and he would most likely walk and sign with a team willing to pay him the LT money to play LT- and you know we aren't going to give him LT money to play G...

I've mentioned a few times (not necessarily in this thread) that the only way to get it done (if they want to move him to OG) would be to sign him to an extension now, then move him.
John from Riverside Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Has Incognito ever in his life played Center? Don't think this is very likely. Actually.....yes Cog has played center
ChanOverChin Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Expect Glenn to move to OG if Henderson and Kouandjio prove to be worthy OTs. It is GREAT NEWS to hear that the new coaching staff believes enough in both Henderson and Kouandjio to make them the starting LT and RT respectively. When Glenn was drafted many scouts thought he was best suited to play OG. Both H & K are more athletic than he is. The bottom line is that our O-line will be greatly improved if we can afford to put Glenn at OG. The possible starting O-line for the "Ground and Pound" Bills: Henderson/Incognito/Wood/Glenn/Kouandjio Henderson/Miller/Wood/Glenn/Kouandjio Henderson/Incognito/Wood/Miller/Glenn. I think Kromer is serious about moving Henderson to LT because of his excellent size, reach, and athleticism. Wood will be the OC. I expect Glenn, Incognito, Miller, Kouandjio to fight for the other three spots. Urbik will be the backup OC (and a backup OG). Richardson and T. Chandler will likely fill spots 8 ad 9 on the O-line.
FLFan Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Yes, he played center for his final 2 years at Nebraska.Thanks. Should have looked that up before posting - my bad. Still does not seem likely, though. I think it is more likely they are trying to find out if Henderson can play the left side in case Glenn goes down. He is a probably a better candidate for swing tackle given his starting experience at RT last year. They need to coach somebody up for that role.

To me this makes zero sense - Glenn has been a worthy LT....last year everyone played horrible.....prior to that Glenn has been considered a gem at LT...WHY CHANGE THAT - Who rides the bench in that situation....John Miller....the coaches appear to LOVE John Miller IMO......the real battle is between Henderson and Kujo at RT.......if Kujo starts playing like was SUPPOSED to then that would unseat Henderson making him the swing OT. John Miller and Cog should be the guards
atlbillsfan1975 Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 These are 'rich people problems' if true. By this i mean, Miller is as good as billed. CK is ready to go. Henderson has taken a step up from his rookie year. I fully expect Cordy and Wood to be starting. Those are proven guys who will help you win games. I think Glenn/Miller/Woods/Cog/Henderson are the starters. CK is the back up right tackle. Henderson can move to LT if need be(injury).
BrooklynBills Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 You don't see too many 6'8" guards out there, do you? Not many. But 49ers had one the last few years in Alex Boone. 6'8 300 Most teams had Glenn has a G coming out of college. Maybe new staff feels that is his best position. Or that he lacks athleticism to play LT in this blocking scheme.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2015/6/3/8718047/could-henderson-kouandjio-be-opening-day-starters Vic Carcucci of The Buffalo News thinks the Bills and Greg Roman love what they are seeing from Seantrel Henderson at left tackle and Cyrus Kouandjio at right tackle. probably move him to guard if need be but he is starting
John from Riverside Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 probably move him to guard if need be but he is starting IF WE MOVE HIM TO GUARD WE WILL LOSE HIM IN FREE AGENCY What sense does that make?
Buffalo Barbarian Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 You don't see too many 6'8" guards out there, do you? Alex Boone 6'8" 300 SF 49s Eric Pears??? And that is how you go from being a 9-7 head coach to coaching the Jacksonville oline. IF WE MOVE HIM TO GUARD WE WILL LOSE HIM IN FREE AGENCY What sense does that make? I wouldn't move him to guard just making a hypothetical.
hondo in seattle Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) Read the title......Carucci thinks.....off-season speculation because these guys have nothing to write about and fans are dying for any info on the team Somebody says that Vic says the Bills like a couple of young lineman. And from that we get to Cordy will be demoted to 2nd string. Sounds like the telephone game. Edited June 3, 2015 by hondo in seattle
John from Riverside Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Alex Boone 6'8" 300 SF 49s I wouldn't move him to guard just making a hypothetical. BB You make that hypothetical comment a lot...... I just wonder if you understand the implications of it. To me Glenn is one of those guys we gotta resign.
