Not true some OTs just play too upright and can't play OG and get beat by DTs with lower center of gravities can rush around them for easy sacks. etc. 

and hence my comment MOST. But he plays IOL as well so yeah can kick inside. 
 

likely is like Doyle the 6th OL when go short packages and should help considering the Bill sucked at picking up short yardage plays unless it was Josh.

I love that Bills sign guys with tons of experience and have them all battle it out in camp, but I'd love a few studs on the O line.

 

Dawkins/Morse are solid- above average, the rest. Meh, hope they do alright 

 

Dawkins and Morse are very good.  Not elite / top 3 at their position, but likely in the next tier.

 

Saffold is a proven vet who's, at worst, a solid OG.

 

Bates and Brown both have a lot of potential.. especially Spencer Brown.  I think Brown could be that stud, developed with the help of Kromer. 

 

I do get the concern in betting on unproven potential on the right side though.. Wouldn't hate taking OL high in the draft.  Quessenberry, Doyle, Ford & Boettger is ok depth, but the OL is heavy betting on a healthy Saffold being better in pass pro and the right side of our OL making a jump.

The Titans clearly believe their RB, not their Tackles, are the key to their running success.  This is overwhelmingly likely.

 

 

No doubt having a difference maker RB will get you 1500 yars rushing or whatever......but we are gonna see whether or not OL that run block well is going to hurt his numbers this year because the OL got broken up

Sounds like he could be used in 6 man OL sets, like we used Doyle last year.

Yep I was just typing the same thing.

We didn't take their RB...

Because we all know that a great running back is the key to a great run game….. 🙄

Look. Kromer likely had a lot of say here. So yep I am on board with it. Kromer actually made John Miller viable. 
 

sad thing is Bills still looking for a position that likely would have been filled with Teller. But I will take that trade as the pick helped get Diggs.

Hasn't Teller been meh in pass pro though?  Dude is a mauler in the run game, but would he ever been as good here, with our offense?

Which is why I'm sure their running game didn't miss a beat without Henry...

I was fine with the trade. Still am he has flaws as well. Just stating we have brought vet after vet trying to get a long term answer there since moving him. Hopefully Bates is that answer.

He isn’t the greatest but is improving. End of day I am still fine with the trade. But it is one of those things. The position has been a rotating door since he was moved. Hopefully Bates now is the full time starter and that OG spot locked down now that it looks like Bills finally will start him.

Bates looked more then Meh in his short stint late in the year.  So if he keeps trending upward, there is your stud at RG.  And in general there are just not a lot of very good to great stud O lineman types playing in the NFL these days.  Try finding John Hannah.  I believe he is still living.  And so is Anthony Munoz.  Maybe they would love one last shot at a ring.  LOL

Some new pieces on the OL that can challenge for starting positions is good. Let them battle it out in training camp and see who rises to the top of the heap. Love the Saffold pickup. This one, don't know if he will be a starter, but it's always good to have more competition.

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a very specific reason to revive this one.
