Formerly Allan in MD Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 We still need a long term, stud offensive tackle. All these guys on one year deals are "possibles."
hemma Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 Costello doesn’t see Spain as a starter? I think sometimes these guys are ‘too big for their own britches’.

Nihilarian Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 It's going to interesting to see how this line starts off in preseason as is it looks like Dawkins LT, Spain LG, Morse C, Long RG, Nsekhe RT. LT is the same and should play better with a solid starter at LG, C is a huge upgrade, RG should be an upgrade from Miller who couldn't get out of his own way. RT is the only question. Dawkins had a very down year last year in my view because of the poor play next to him at LG and the team might just look to upgrade at #9 with Jawaan Taylor, Jonah Williams. In any event, the 2019 Buffalo Bills O line should be much improved over last seasons debacle even without an early draft choice for the line. 1

Doc..just a FYI...Murph and Steve plan on talking O-Line,in depth starting on Monday...then it's on to linebackers. 1

There are 64 starting Guards in the NFL. PFF graded Spain at 35th best. That makes him an average starting Guard. 1

maryland-bills-fan Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 I think that they will not draft an offensive lineman in the first two rounds, but will go for a big athletic IOL or OT in the 3rd round. This would be a medium floor, high ceiling guy who would be practice squad or backup for a year or two. Defensive line and linebacker are more likely in the first two rounds.

It’s rare for me to say that I have “fun” watching a guard play, but he was indeed fun to watch at times last year. I like a guy with some nasty in his blood. 1
Simon Says Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 7 hours ago, TC in St. Louis said: I am an all-knowing soothsayer. These were not random dart throws. These are players that Beane and company feel will make us a much better team. I think they actually have too many players now. But that is an opinion, not a fact from an all-knowing soothsayer. Dawkins, Spain, Morse,Feliciano and Waddle/Nsechke. Bodine and Long provide experienced interior depth, in case Morse gets hurt. Bills liked Sirles enough to re-sign him. Teller got some reps but ideally would have been on the PS. McDermott and Boettger are PS material. Cant believe Ducasse is still around. i can see them drafting depth for the future.

Let's not forget..he has great feet.He didn't pull out of the gap much because Bodine/Groy were not capable of covering that left hole .He will only get better by playing next to Morse. I'm rooting for him to keep his current starting job... He carries his own lunchbox.jmo

It’s all good! 1
