BuffaloBillyG Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 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. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) 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.

DCofNC Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 The only time I noticed him in the games he’s been blown past, must have missed the “strong” part. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Hucklebuck Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 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. 6 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Paulson Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) 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 Edited August 23, 2023 by Robert Paulson 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 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. 6 10 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 This kid is turning out to be a steal with pretty good luck for him to boot. He may be good enough that the Bills will not be able to hide him on the PS. Shell’s retirement and now Doyle being hurt give him a very good shot at making the roster. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
