Don Otreply Posted August 12, 2020 Posted August 12, 2020 Cody is doing what he needs to do, so good on him. Go Bills!!! 3
Royale with Cheese Posted August 12, 2020 Posted August 12, 2020 It better be RT because you're not getting the either starting spot at guard.

H2o Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 He'll either be the RT or RG on this team for years to come. 1 1
TigerJ Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 Darryl Williams is a better guard than tackle. Winters is going to play guard. Spain is starting at guard on the other side. Ford is going to play right tackle. Nsekhe was better last season, but couldn't stay healthy. He will be 35 in October. He will continue to be a health risk. It's inevitable. Ford will be better this season than last. Footwork was an area where he struggled and he focused on that in the off season. Additionally, he got much stronger. It all adds up to Ford playing tackle. 3

Huh? He was 2nd team All-Pro at RT in 2017. That's where I would play him exclusively and have Ford compete with him and Winters at RG. 1

Additionally, he got much stronger. It all adds up to Ford playing tackle. I'm on board with your opinion overall, but the bolded is untrue. Williams is a former 2nd team All-Pro at RT. Last year, his only year playing primarily guard -- and granted, he was coming off a serious injury -- he did not perform well. If Ford has shown clear improvement at right tackle, then yes, that's where you play him. That's what you drafted him to be, so you want to give him every opportunity to succeed there. IF, however, Daryl Williams has returned to form and is showing the potential to return to a 2nd team All-Pro level at RT, they ought to let him start at that position. I am of the opinion that Cody Ford can be a good, league average right tackle. I believe he can be an All-Pro level player at guard, though. In short, let Ford PROVE that he can play right tackle better than Nsekhe and Williams. If he can't, let him play right guard.
MJS Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 Just get the best 5 out there. If Ford is one of those, good for him.
KD in CA Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 Good man. Can't wait to see him at RT where he belongs. He gonna be a stud.

billsbackto81 Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 Hopefully his footwork has gotten better. Beane drafted this guy as a future starting RT who can play Guard in a pinch, not the other way around. I like his attitude but it just tells me he's not the clear cut starter at either position.

He should be available for most of the season. Edited August 13, 2020 by Doc
