So did Kyle Williams, who had bone spurs in both feet that really undercut his play in 2011 or so. I'm less worried about feet/ankle injuries than back injuries when it comes to big men. Re: rolling the dice with his money, they're rolling either way - his 2018 dead money charge is huge. If he's healthy next season and they draft a stud qb, wouldn't you want a top-10 LT protecting him? I would. I'm not saying that the problem isn't chronic, btw - we simply don't know. It's just that I'm so tired of Bills fans (not you) saying Bills players are injury prone and therefore expendable. Paul Posluzny comes to mind. He's a good player and looks like he's going to have a 12-15 year career. When he was on the Bills, everyone said he was injury prone. His injuries weren't of the chronic kind, however; they were the sorts of random injuries that can happen to any player on any play and aren't a huge problem long term. I was -PISSED- when they moved Poz. That was ridiculous. I'm curious as to just how many games Cordy's missed over his career with injury. Still a bit peeved with Whaley for giving him the contract he did, however.

I get that, but IF he is healthy come training camp, he's a good player that should be retained. He's the best lineman on the team when healthy.

Big men with foot/ankle problems are likely done. You could be right, of course. He could come back and be the next coming of Anthony Munoz. Or he could never be the same. Are you willing to roll the dice with his money? That’s my thought process. BIG men with foot problems is a scary combo imo. Rolling the dice sounds about right to me. If we can get something of good value for him, I’d pull the trigger based on health. It would be good for Cordy too. He could possibly block for a legit qb

We shall see, but Glenn has always been good when he played. Regardless, I'd rather have too good OTs than one. This is a team that can't be wasting early draft picks on o-linemen next year. It has to be QB all the way, and they're going to need to trade up.

Wood, Incog, and Dawkins start. Maybe Miller or Groy can step up. Groy must be really bad in practice as we don't see him at all Damn there will be a LOT of holes on this roster next year Like I've been saying even an average O Lineman start to look much more competent when the QB is hitting those short passes quickly, and that Averge OL starts to look much better with a consistent QB capable of gettng rid of the ball quickly and an OC system that been runnign for a few years.. How many times have we changed OC's in the last 5 years, 10 years, on average every 3.. and not once did we have anything but average QB play even on our best days in that time. A few accpetional games mixed in of course but each season saw more QB struggles that successes. Which caused more turnover at the HC OC and DC positions which keeps us in a tail spin Get the QB... unfortunately JP losman and EJ Manual were on nobodies short list of QB's but they were our 2 1st rd attempts.. Got to go get a college player who show signs of being able to throw accurately and make quick reads.. Neither EJ or JP showed that and we saw the results. Move up ang get that player.. But intangibles like arm stregth and size mean nothing if the abilty to process quickly and natural accuracy is not there IMO Edited December 6, 2017 by ddaryl

As I recall, they did not " move" Poz, he left in free agency. I also recall they did try to sign him. He had multiple reasons for wanting to move on, including I believe a pending change in D schemes.

Big Turk Posted December 6, 2017 Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) put Glenn at LT and move Dawkins to RT...even if he takes some time to get up to speed on the switchover he is light years better than Mills. Edited December 6, 2017 by matter2003

YoloinOhio Posted December 6, 2017 Author Posted December 6, 2017 No wonder McD said there is no timetable. Can’t get him away from the dessert table.
CommonCents Posted December 6, 2017 Posted December 6, 2017 Here we are debating his future all the while he is morphing into a Tonka Trunk behind the scenes. Holy **** Cordy go for a walk. 1

Disconcerting.
