Marv-a-licious Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Does anyone find it strange that Demetrius Bell is getting first team reps at Right Tackle, when RT is Langston Walker's preferred position and Bell is being groomed for the left side? I know he's filling in for the injured Brad Butler, but I found that strange. Basically I bring it up because I'm very excited about the things I hear about Bell at LT, and lightning might have struck twice for the Bills at that position - but I know I should be patient and wait for him to develop and the coaches think he's ready. And Langston Walker scares the bejeezes out of me at Left Tackle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was that easy to farm quality left tackles teams would not be paying the good ones so much money. I wouldn't get too excited if I was you - you are likely in for disappointment. Maybe he will end up being a pro bowl player, I just doubt it greatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe next year he'll be moved to LT, barring injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
