I don't think they want to go into the season with Waddle as a starter. But yeah I could see Dawkins moved to guard. Beane was asked about it earlier this year and he didn't rule it out. ...will be interesting to see how the new OL Coach evaluates and meshes talent.....hopefully flexible regarding scheme to play to personnel strengths.......we need a Mouse McNally tinkerer.....

I think that was a big problem the Bills had last year in training camp, the constant juggling of their line, and same thing at QB. No one got enough reps with the first team. I realize these guys are all vets so likely don't need as much time, but with today's CBA rules it limits the amount of work you get. Let the compete for a couple of weeks of camp, but would like to see them settle on the starting five by 3rd pre-season game. Or be OK with sub par line play the first couple weeks of the season. I can see some of these signings not making it through camp. Excluding Morse, did we give any of them much of a signing bonus, how much of a cap hit will we have if we cut a couple of them? I'm guessing it's not high, but will be something. I hear you but this year the Center "anchor" is known. Should be much quicker finding who play G better on the right and left with him. When you don't know who the Center is (last year) that effects a lot more. I'm hoping they get the starters pretty much identified by Game 2 of Pre-season.

Bills Survivor Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) Good to see Beane ensuring our offensive line will no longer be offensive. Edited March 24, 2019 by Bills Survivor

Our QB is the top running QB except maybe L Jackson and his aim is consistently off. I think a run first approach makes a lot more sense. By Modern so mean ACTUALLY UTILIZING the pass offense and the WRs

See I also think they will draft one but I don't think it will be 1st or 2nd round and I could see them going into the season with Waddle as a starter (or Nsekhe at RT and Dawkins at LT) and then bringing the drafted guy on as the year goes on. 1

Nsekhe has stated that he is much better on the left side and not very comfortable on the right side. Is that the case with Dawkins? Was Dawkins also not listed as a guard in the draft?

thebandit27 Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 22 minutes ago, Doc said: That's why I've been saying I can see Ty at LT and Dawkins at RT. Dawkins really struggled adjusting to the right side of the line in the '17 preseason. Unless that's changed, he should really stay on the left 6
