nick in* england Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 So the Bills have fessed up and told us all they may go with a line that looks like this: Gandy - Mike Williams - Teague - Villareal - Jason Peters Now I fully expect board meltdown as the posters who called for Mike to move inside start crowing, the posters that label Big Mike a bust start crowing, and the doom-mongers to start crowing because that's what doom-mongers do. But - this to me is a sound move. Gandy and Villareal have been solid if unspectacular and don't deserve to get shuffled. Jason Peters derves another start because he too has played solidly when required (and it's always good to get that kind of athlete on the field). Teague - we'll he's the great divider on this team - I think he's been solid on the whole but there are enough question marks to mean the big surprise this week might be Duke Preston at C. So I'm left with Mike Williams at guard. My money is on him doing well there - and I'd like to see him there for a good many years to come... But at his currewnt price - that boy needs to be the greatest G that ever lived...

If he switches we need to be patient, of course patient’s sucks with a player making that salary, but expecting great performance out of a career T right away is a bit premature. I think all of us have come to terms that MW will never be a LT, and of course we want him to restructure, but we could have a lot more $ allocated to the line then we do right now. Even if he doesn't restructure, Villareal, Preston, Gandy, and Peters don't make a ton so the overall investment in the line would probably be around average or less. Of course this is all assuming he can stay on the field, and be a solid player at either RT or G.
ASCI Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 Watch Mike will take to G like a fish to water. His confidence will be sky high due to the help he’ll be getting on either side and he’ll be a top shelve G.
ch19079 Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 Peters has played well at OT. i dont think its as much a knock on williams as it is a good thing for peters. i would like to see our highest cap hit player play LOT insted of OG but whatever helps our O line.

Peters will be the LT next year- that's why they need him to get reps on the field now.
