Most of these guys are strong but not very nimble. Mostly good pass protectors though. Not really sure where they are going with all of them. Maybe they don't either and are just waiting to see who sticks. Agree re power run/pass pro seems to be the direction. Normally you might favour a zone scheme where you have an athletic QB for whom you design running plays. Looks to me they maybe want Josh Allen to start working more from the pocket and I think that makes sense in terms of his development. This would not necessarily shut down his remaining a threat in the run game given his otherworldly athleticism. Cake and eat it? 1

auburnbillsbacker Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 I feel like we will have the best offensive line depth in the league but one of the weakest group of starters. 1

Jpsredemption Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 40th ranked guard in the nfl last year and you’d think he’s Brian Waters. My god. 1

Not sure how you draw that conclusion. I will say that you may want to go back and watch him in 2016-17 when they ran more power-based run schemes. You'd see what you're missing. 1
Logic Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Just now, Jpsredemption said: 40th ranked guard in the nfl last year and you’d think he’s Brian Waters. My god. Fair enough. But bear in mind that there are 64 starting guards in the NFL, so this places Spain barely south of "average" at the position. I'd venture to guess the Bills' starting guards all ranked well worse than 40th last year. As such, this would represent an upgrade, and isn't that the point? 2

But if they sign Spain, I can absolutely see a scenario where they end up cutting either Long or Feliciano. Both of them can back up at center or guard and depth is needed as well as starters.

I agree. Great center, solid to very good LT, possibly a solid RT and a bunch of questions at guard, with several depth pieces.

Morse being the exception. I would make the case that "talent" isn't the be all an end all when it comes to good O-line play. There are plenty of early first round tackles and guards who bust. They are hard positions to project. What's more important IMO is getting players who have the basic wherewithal to execute the chosen scheme and then coach them up to where they can execute efficiently as a unit. I feel the Patriots have solid line play not because they have "talented" players but because they have the guys with the aptitude to do what Dante wants and nobody coaches them up better than him (sure Tom gets the ball out quick, but they've been a run heavy team for years now). Looks to me that's what Beane is looking to do and it makes sense to me. 4
aceman_16 Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 My nephew has helped him in his football camp in Petersburg, Virginia. He has mentioned he is a huge guy with a big heart. They both played in Virgina together. I would love this signing. Go Beane!!

billsfan89 Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 I would love this signing. Nabbing a starting Caliber guard at this stage of free agency would take a need off the draft board and free up picks for other needs. 1
