I was told they should sign the mummified remains of Jason Peters. So, not this guy then? Why not both? We can start our own hoard of undead linemen.

Apparently, it's been done...🤔

[BearNorth]

BTW anyone notice that the #10 ranked guard in PFF is none other than Greg Van Roten [who will be coming to Buffalo on Sunday].  Really beginning to wonder about our ability to evaluate OL.

The Bills could get a discount on those electric buggies that shuttle off injured players.

Maybe they can get a group of broken players, salvage the good parts and build a Frankenstein monster.

Not that van roten is good, but yeah, that's been a question for a while now.

OL need to be light on their feet.

Unfortunately too many of our current linemen block like Teri Garr

To clarify, 1970s Teri Garr all the way up to Dumb and Dumber Teri Garr can block me any time she likes.

I remember Letterman trying his best.

Sounds like you’re into the hairy scar of Teri Garr

So a below average player had a good game? Cool.

He's starting?  Bills D-line will feast.

Who is better?  Ifedi or Collins?

[McDeerInTheHeadlights]

Given the situation at RT, I think Collins is worth a closer look, but with the clear understanding that he most likely won't be able to help this season.

Really doesn't matter. They chose Ifedi and it'll be he or Van Demark if Brown gets hurt or needs to be benched.

 

We made a move at OT just last week. Really no use in fans bringing up every OT that gets released going forward. We're not going to stockpile released OT's and swap out guys midseason.

 

At most, they'd sign someone like Collins to the Practice Squad. Even then, it would probably be at the cost of Richard Gouraige, who showed some things worthy of developing.

Spencer Brown or Collins?

If Collins is a better option than Ifedi, then it does matter.  They can sign him to the PS, get him up to speed and then play him if need be.   They added Ifedi just 2 weeks ago and he can possibly end up the starter, why not Collins?  That is again IF he's better than Ifedi.

 

As for Van Demark and Gouriage, they appear to be LTs only  I actually think Van Demark is the heir-apparent at LT.

David Quessenberry was essentially a top 10 tackle in 2021??

Didn't Jason Peters come back from ACL tears and receive All Pro accolades? I'd hate for the Jets to get him, let him heal and become their starter for years to come

I actually believe in the O-line we already have. Bills fans need to be patient and let them continue to gel. A whole new offensive tackle would be stupid at this point in the season.

wasnt he the bong rip gas mask guy?

 

We could certainly do worse at RT, like we are right now
