Van Demark, a "Model" Fit for the Bills OL?

Recommended Posts

Chiefs to Mahomes:  "We've dropped a bag on another Tackle for you"

 

Bengals to Burrow:  "We've snagged Orlando Brown to protect you"

 

Bills to Allen:  "Can we interest you in a baby model?"

 

In all seriousness, he does seem like a worthwhile developmental Tackle to keep on the 53, likely taking the place of Doyle.   Which is fine, as long as Beane works some magic and makes a move for a legit swing tackle before the season starts.

He fits our cheap model perfectly. 

 

An undrafted, developmental player from a small school, that got bounced from his first team. 

 

Now we'll spend 2 years trying to make him into something. 

 

We collect these guys like souvenirs: Ryan Groy, Ike Boettger, Ryan Bates, Greg Van Roten, Spencer Long, Garrett McGhin.

Buffalo News Mark Gaughan says Arizona has surplus of OT's. Josh Jones, a 2020 3rd rounder and Kelvin Beachum, an 11-year starter. Basham trade?

we can only hope this guy works out since we can't expect the team to draft O Line high-(i know we just took a G in the 2nd round which proves the point we should be drafting them high because he looks to be crushing it) 

 

We can't waste those high picks to keep our franchise QB upright  when we need a 5th DE who can't find the QB, a 4th CB who doesn't fit our system but we are 'desperate', another undersized MLB/Special Teamer or a small, slow, non shifty RB-got to keep stockpiling them

Fun story about one of the surprises of the preseason. He's been first in at OT in both PS games IIRC. There's a real path to the 53 for this guy. Could be a good find.

 

 

Show me the baby.....  in football term that means the Lombardi.

We simply cannot allow any positive

news about this team.  Each little nugget of positivity or fun, must be drowned in a sea of negative criticism and despair.  
 

A lot of folks need to go enjoy some fresh air and step away from the team.

Every team does this.  Every team has a practice squad of developmental players and guys who bounce around the league.  Offensive lineman especially.  That unit turns over more than others.

two plays that would have gotten 17 killed and screwed up the season, so it's a little more impactful than just 2 plays.

 

Unless you saw the two plays yourself, I'd be hesitant to assume that particular poster was providing any accurate assessment whatsoever

The only time I noticed him in the games he’s been blown past, must have missed the “strong” part.

 

This is fair, but those reps were entirely at RT, and every one was exactly the same rush move against him, see the 2nd series of the 2nd half vs Colts here in the Buried Sweaties game breakdown (and one of those wasn't his assignment). I'm confident he can get coached up on that.

 

 

The fact that we haven't noticed him at all on his LT reps is frankly impressive.
