FluffHead Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 I have to say I would be all for a little bit of shuffling on the O-Line. The Preston-Whittle C-RG combination might be the worst in the NFL. From BuffaloBills.com: Chambers at guard By Chris Brown - Posted November 7th, 2008 Bills swing tackle Kirk Chambers was lined up at right guard with the first unit during the portion of practice that is viewed by the media. There appears to be a chance that Chambers will line up there for the Bills on Sunday if Jason Whittle and Brad Butler are both not fit to play. Both Butler and Whittle were out on the practice field, but have been limited in practice all week. We’ll have an update on their status for Sunday following practice.
John from Riverside Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 I thought they should have done this the minute our starting RG went down.......
Lori Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 On this: Butler is OUT, Whittle is questionable, so Chambers may well be the last man standing.
John Adams Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 I thought they should have done this the minute our starting RG went down....... The problem was that Fowler was hurt (and sucking) so Preston seemed better at center. Whatever. This line ain't coming together this year. I just hope Trent makes it through the rest of the season and keeps showing growth despite having zero running game.
John from Riverside Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Just a prediction but just watch and see how well RG plays this weekend.... The fact is that Chambers has so far outplayed Jason Peters who is supposed to be our best linemen.....and you always try to get your best players on the field.... Chambers also has more in the wallet as Whittle is undersized and now just play bad. This is probably a upgrade to the postiion

This is probably a upgrade to the postiion I agree, I like Chambers allot, he played fantastic at LT while Peters was holding out. I hope he plays!!
SKOOBY Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Hopefully we find some holes to run through as well.
Coach Tuesday Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 There appears to be a chance that Chambers will line up there for the Bills on Sunday if Jason Whittle and Brad Butler are both not fit to play. Um, I can tell you that WHEN HEALTHY, Whittle is "not fit to play." I'd like to see a change.
DaGimp Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Yikes-this season is quietly turning into a huge mess

Maybe chambers was named after James T...
John from Riverside Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 To me this might turn into a Greer situation We knew that Greer was servicable....but for some reason the bills staff went to other options until they were FORCED to play Greer.....that turned out well..... Fingers are crossed
bills4sb Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Why not? Butler and Chambers are both similiar in size and both are or once were tackles (I believe Butler played T in college) so I would expect the same type of play should Chamber start at RG. Only thing is, do we activate Bell as our main backup tackle then?
Lofton80 Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 I like it, he certainly can pass block. We'll see on the run game.
JStranger76 Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Sorry, but I'm not as excited about another 6'7 guard that Wilfork can just walk into the backfield all game long. Chambers had one decent game against a bum shoulder Patrick Kerney and people have been yelling get him in the line up blah blah blah......Well, looks like your wishes shall be granted, and it won't be pretty.
billsfans126 Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 wilfork is questionable for this sunday.....
Captain Hindsight Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 I agree, I like Chambers allot, he played fantastic at LT while Peters was holding out. I hope he plays!! He played right Walker played left but yes he did play well
Captain Hindsight Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 wilfork is questionable for this sunday..... Wasnt Brady questionable for like 3 years?
Dibs Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 Wasnt Brady questionable for like 3 years? Are you talking about his sexuality?.....cause I think that goes back more than 3 years.
ans4e64 Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 I know it would be shuffling the line, but wouldn't Walker at RG and Chambers at RT be a better fit for both? I know if it were, the Bills would have experimented, but I don't understand why its not. Walker has experience at guard, Chambers does not. Chambers is a stick, Walker is not. I dunno, I guess its me.
scoring is not hardy Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 I think this will improve our pass protection but hurt the run game, if that's possible. Chambers isn't exactly powerful.
