That makes sense, considering they offered him a long-term deal

As GunnerBill and other said, Bodine made the protection adjustments. 

 

That is is something that didn’t seem to be happening weeks 1 and 2. 

 

Allen, like many rookie QBs, struggles recognizing pressure. Having an experienced starting center like Bodine looks to have been a big help to him. 

 

I think he should be the starting C going forward.

I was a little surprised when Groy got the starting job. Not that Bodine was playing that well, but I never saw him completely whiff on blocks the way Groy did.

What about his injury? Can he play next week?

Banged up Bills said on twitter he is good to go, not sure if he is a doctor, psychic or what, but he is very accurate when it comes to injuries

It was only cramps, so I would imagine he will be fine for next week.

He is correct.  "Russell Bodine turned down long term contract offer from Bengals".  ....

"The deal the Bengals offered is said to have been for five-years with little guarantees but far more potential earnings than the two-year, $5 million deal he signed with Buffalo. Bodine turned down the Bengals’ offer and took a gamble on himself in Buffalo".

 

 

 

 

So that gives the Bills 2 drafts to get a starting center that would replace Wood for years to come !!

Or maybe they could acquire a good one in Free Agency? Gotta spend that $90 Mil somehow and they have plenty of other draft needs..

 

Paying Bodine $2.5Mil a year values him as a backup center but the Bills have no one else at the moment after Groy's efforts to date..

I thought he played well too.

 

I thought it was interesting that when he got dinged up and Groy came in he immediately got beat for a sack. He's probably not the long term answer at center but he appears better than Groy anyway.
