Here's a thought about the O-line

[Buffalo_Stampede]

The OL is much better than last season. 
 

And please after week 1 don’t start crying about the OL. The Jets are beasts upfront. There will be battles won and lost vs the Jets.

And you think weakening his blind side won't lead to more hits in the pocket?  Contrary to popular belief, he doesn't needlessly scramble on EVERY snap.

It was a joke. Calm down

OMG THIS topic is a waste of space

I say we cut Josh and find a left-handed QB so we can make RT the most important position on the OL.  Should I set up a poll?

No, you should be set atop a pole.  Twenty footer or so. 🤔🤨

Why do you want to make our QBs blindside protection worse? 

[Dopey]

I only watched the first 2 drives of the Bears game, but I thought Dawkins was solid. He made a helluva block on the Harris td (some might say 2 blocks on 1 play) and was solid in this time on the field. 

I don't understand the obsession with how NOT sexy he looks. This isn't the Ms. America Contest. 

Trade AJE, Elam, etc. WOW!
And the season hasn't even begun. Way to go guys.

What about Dawkins at QB and Josh at left tackle? Who protects who better?

[quinnearlysghost88]

You’re going to get a great evaluation of talent and position when the Jets relentlessly blitz us for 60 mins on MNF in front of the nation.

New plan. No oline just send 10WR on deep verticals

The thought I had, which will never happen is. I think we should try moving Dawkins to right tackle. I'm supremely aware of why left tackle is where you want your best tackle. 

 

I would say for the Bills, right tackle is most important. Until Josh becomes a high percentage "Pocket Passer" it will continue to be the most challenging spot on line. 

 

Josh never sticks around long enough for a right end to nab him. 

 

Hard to argue if you think about it 

 

🤔

It's easy to argue this ridiculous idea. Besides all the other comments; Dawson is getting paid "left tackle money" and damn well better earn it.

I would totally disagree.

 

If you can say that right tackle is most important, it would only be because we're pretty confident left tackle will be OK because Dawkins is there. I'm just a smidge less comfortable saying that than in years past, but he still appears to be head and shoulders above any other tackle on the roster.

 

If you move Dawkins to right, then left tackle becomes an even worse weakness without him than right tackle is with Dawkins at left.

Just saw where Ques is being released and Basham traded to Giants.  This makes room for one of the young guys in the o-line room.  Some people in this forum had this pegged a few weeks ago.

[Charles Romes]

Will know what we have in VanDemark at LT quickly. It’s hopefully a possibility

They can get to the QB just by bringing four. They really don't have to blitz.

I’d love if we could scheme a ton of two TE sets to help chip and get off the line to catch balls. Unfortunately, I don’t have any faith in Dorsey using our weapons correctly.

You seriously want Spencer Brown on Josh Allen's blind side? Why do you hate Josh Allen so badly?

For most OTs, it's significantly harder for them to move to the other side of the line than to simply move inside to OG on the same side.   I think that Dawkins has a better chance of making an awesome LG than making a competent RT.

[frostbitmic]

Cutting Quessenberry obviously means we're going to sign Jason Peters.

Nothing about this logic makes any sense to me.  Josh isn't left handed, the LT spot protects his back and blind side, it is significantly more important to a right handed QB to have a quality player at LT.  Guys coming off the RT spot are easier for him to see and react to.  So I can't see where you logic here is coming from here.  Not to mention the challenge of swapping positions for a player.
