That's a lot of shifting around for one guy going out, but might give us the best OL options. Expand when did Williams take snaps at RG for any extensive time? IMO nothing good happens when you mess with the entire lineup on OL. Plug Boettger in at RG where he played reasonably last season and go

FilthyBeast Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 I'm fine with sitting guys this week, it's the right move and we aren't losing at home to a weak team with a mid round rookie QB making his 2nd career start even if Allen and the defense aren't on the same level they were last week. 1

Bills took a tender out on Ike B. and he is the depth chart backup. I would like to see him start in place on Mongo. Ike is a UFA next year and it seems to me you got to see if he has a future in Buffalo. 1

NewEra Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 Really hoping Boettger can show that he’s an upgrade over Feliciano or Ford with Mongo being out on Sunday. I don’t know how we’re going to fix the IOL mid season, but replacing from within would be ideal.
Logic Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 I know hindsight is 20/20, but it's really irritating to know that we could very easily NOT have a guard problem right now. Wyatt Teller was drafted by us. There's one guard position solved. The draft pick used on Cody Ford, meanwhile, could have been used on Elgton Jenkins, who has already made a Pro Bowl and is one of the better interior o-linemen in the league. He was drafted seven spots after Ford. Dalton Risner was another option. He was taken four spots after Ford. Both, to this point in their careers, are vastly superior to Ford. Nobody hits on 100% of their draft picks or personnel decisions, and everyone makes mistakes, but the poor guard play in Buffalo is GLARING right now when taking into account who we had and could've had on our roster. 1 2 1 1

Expand I'm not gonna kill them on either of those moves until we see whether either player amounts to anything. If Basham and Doyle become quality EDGE and OT, respectively, they won't be such bad picks. Furthermore, I'm not convinced that anyone was left at guard when they picked Doyle that would have been an upgrade over what we already have. Probably Trey Smith, but the Bills weren't the only teams scared off by his history of blood clot issues.
