nucci Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 The line played very well yesterday...great run blocking and pass protection. Knox had some good blocks on running plays......I think we are reaching looking for something to complain about

MR8 Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 I think it's good they're getting him time and experience, but it's clear that Ty is the better OT at this stage. If Ford continues to struggle I think we'll see Ty get more and more snaps... we have been lucky with a soft start to our schedule, but once games start to get MUCH harder, they're going to need to pull back a bit on the juggling O-Line to get the best guys playing, but right now they're trying to build chemistry, an thanks to a softer schedule, they've been able to do a heavier rotation to see if it will "click" for the kid. Unless he takes a big step in week 3 against the Bungles, I see Ty getting 90% of the snaps against the Pats week 4. Thats a game they cant mess around... ideally we'll be 3-0 and it's for the division lead.

Ford makes for a better Guard. I don't think that's it. Ty N is battling injuries right now and can't stay on the field for every snap.

Fords your first lineman off the bench at Tackle or Guard I actually am fine sticking with a rotation, but for me, Ford would be the guy that's playing every 3 series or so, and it would be something like a series at RG, followed by 2 on the bench, then a series at RT. 1 1

I just think they have an interest in developing Ford as much as possible. At least a time share with Nsekhe at RT makes the most sense to me until Ford proves he’s the better player. Gotta have him on the field, and I would prefer to leave Feliciano at RG. 1 1

No Bill was as bad as Star Lotulelei though. He looks like a f*cking tourist out there..........he's so unathletic that he was basically a traffic cone LAST YEAR....... but now it's markedly WORSE and he's also getting turned sideways and pushed backwards........Barkley ran right past him several times and he just didn't even have the twitch to get an arm on him.........he didn't even sniff a tackle.........Harrison Phillips isn't great but he's indispensable right now.

Too many guards isn't a 1st world problem it's just called depth...........Bills were wise to buy guards in FA, that's where you get them.......seasoned and ready and at the right price............too many QB/DE/LT/WR/CB is a 1st world problem.

But he may also not be a better guard than either Mongo or Spain at this exact moment. I would rotate him in at RG to get him some playing time, but other than that he's my swing tackle. I am having visions of Big Mike Williams with Cody's footwork at RT. Meanwhile the much maligned DK Metcalf caught the game winning TD for Seattle again.........2 games 150 yards receiving with 1 TD and drew a PI in end zone to set up another.

Well, you know where I stand on that topic. Take the higher-ceiling guy...always.

Yea Harrison Phillips outplayed him by a significant amount yesterday. 1
Laughing Coffin Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 Both our offensive tackles are a concern right now

Well, I guess the good news is Star becomes very cut-able after next season, which will be perfect timing for extending/re-signing Harry to a decent but team friendly contract.
Big C Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 I thought Harry played a really solid game yesterday. 1
Johnny Hammersticks Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 Jeez. By reading this thread you might think we were 0-2 and lost by 30 to the Giants yesterday ?♂️ 1
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 We have a nice patch work in place at OT but both guys can still be upgraded. Ford definitely looks slow off the snap and his foot work needs some polish. Guys are flying around him on the outside, but Allen for the first time has a pocket to step up into thanks to Morse and our upgrades at Guard. Protecting Allen still needs to be this teams number 1 priority. Our first 2 game were against teams that are picking in the top 10 in the draft. I’m excited but this team has yet to be tested. 1
