Zero quarterback hits allowed last season

 

Zero Saks allowed in his career

 

Mauler… Smart football player

 

Excellent pick

Until you see illegal use of hands or holding flags directed at him.

Thanks - I thought they said he’d be manning the LG in Buffalo.  Again though, putting Torrence between Morse and Brown is … odd.

 

The whole interior is crowded but still odd.

 

McGovern

Edwards

Torrence

Bates

Boettger

You just run or stunt around him.

Considering he gave up zero sacks his entire career in the SEC, I don’t think it is that easy.

 

We won’t be pulling him for run plays, but keeping Allen upright is more important.

More likely they kick Bates outside to RT right?

 

Or just kick Bates outside.

To me it screams long-term fix at RG if they have to move Bates inside. 

 

Remember it took multiple injuries for Bates to even get a shot to start. McD valued his versatility so much to play all over the line as a fill in, he didn't want to risk losing him to injury...

 

Could see Bates going back to that role.

They did that a lot to him in college, so many sacks given up

[Reed83HOF]

 

Not sure why Torrence fell this far, but he’s a steal at this point for the Bills. Powerful mauler in a phone booth who will instantly boost the run game of Buffalo.

Dolphins drafted Tua a couple years ago.

He hasn't allowed a sack in his entire college career......

 

Obviously it hasn't been that easy to just "run or stunt around him".

 

He's going to get beat in the pros.  Even the best lineman do.  But don't pretend he's just getting beat like a drum regularly.

Allen, getting behind this guy should be sure money on QB

he took several steps in any direction? That’s more than some here advertise him capable of 

 

Could be Cody ford, could be great. Glad we took a viable swing.

When you look at the cap hits next year....Morse is a cut candidate and we have lots of OGs right now

Florida has a great offense did they? I get it people want to buy into this guy but until he proves me wrong I have doubts.

0 penalties in 2022 …he grabs and slams occasionally but that’s workable

That. Cant get out on the move that well. He can push straight ahead well, but is soft if he has to move laterally. Plus I dont like how that Florida team played so not high on players coming out of there.

 

I dunno. I dont want to bag on the kid too bad. I'm cheering for him now that he is a Bill. Just wish the draft went differently.

That's really fair. I too have some serious question marks about Torrance. 

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Cody Ford 2.0 🥸

 

I’m hoping he is what they wanted Ford to be…hoping this works out, yet seems like a weird scheme fit. Either way, welcome aboard o’cyrus! 
 

Go Bills!

Cody Ford isn’t worthy to be mentioned in the same sentence
