stuvian Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 looks like everything about this offseason revolves around Cincy
HappyDays Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 http://billswire.usatoday.com/2018/03/18/buffalo-bills-host-russell-bodine-on-visit/ A fourth-round pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, Bodine spent the first the first four years of his career with the Bengals. He won the team’s starting center job in his first preseason, and he has never looked back. Bodine has started 64 games throughout the past four seasons. The former North Carolina Tar Heel is an effective blocker. According to Pro Football Focus, he allowed just one sack in the 2017 season. He had a pass blocking efficiency rating of 97.6 last season. Bodine is experienced, but he’s also young. He’ll be just 26 when the 2018 season kicks off. Should Buffalo eventually sign Bodine, he’ll likely compete with Ryan Groy for the starting center role in training camp.
Virgil Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 All articles say he was terrible, but still a 4 year starter. Doesn’t add up

Doesn’t add up According to PFF he only allowed one sack last year. He's not awful, just average. Good offensive linemen are almost as hard to find as QBs these days.
Ittakestime Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 He played center with the bengals, but his junior year at UNC he was moved around the line. He was actually pretty good as a guard, better than his center performance.

Good offensive linemen are almost as hard to find as QBs these days. I think people are misguided when it comes to offensive line play. Eric Wood was extremely average as well, but overpaid and hurt our cap. Bodine will be cheap and probably serviceable. Alex Mack, Travis Frederick, Rodney Hudson guys like that are special centers. The rest are usually meh.

Reed83HOF Posted March 18, 2018 Author Posted March 18, 2018 Apparently Goodberry works for The Athletic... Joe BuscagliaVerified account @JoeBuscaglia 3m3 minutes ago Joe Buscaglia Retweeted Goodberry Some more evidence as to why this might just be for depth/competition if the #Bills sign him. GoodberryVerified account @JoeGoodberry Replying to @manecci Good: Started a ton of games (64) and is still relatively young (25). Has taken small steps in improvement. Bad: About 60 of those games aren't good. Lacks athleticism, core strength, length and Bengals have been destroyed on stunts/games up the middle.

Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Most Bills fans felt Wood was a terrible center up to the last couple years, some still do. I like having experience on the OL. I know Groy can start. This gives us depth.

They must feel like they can upgrade with a prospect like Price or Daniels.
MrEpsYtown Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Travis Swanson is the guy to go after, but might be expensive. Groy and an upgrade at guard and tackle makes sense. Unless you want to give up a second round pick for Matt Paradis.

RT is the upgrade needed.
ALF Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Maybe they have Groy penciled in as a future replacement for Richie at RG. He was a good replacement for Wood for what little I know.
