toddgurley Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Well Tim Graham reported that D.Bell could be the starting LT for the Bills in the opener. (As long as this enjury is not serious) I want to know what you guys think about this? LINK: http://espn.go.com/blog/afceast/post/_/id/...ackle-of-choice If it does happen, then does Langston Walker move back to RT (where he is solid) or no? And continuing the domino affect, would brad Butler move back to RG (where he argueably was Buffalo's best O-lineman the past 2 seasons) or no? If that happened, our line in theory would be Bell-LT, Wood-LG, Hang-C, Butler or Levitre-RG, Walker RT. What do you guys think? Also, I know its only been a week and 1 preseason game, but I really like what I see out of MAYBIN so far. He looks good so far, I know its early, but I like what I see.

We should know know soon enough. I hope so. I really don't think Walker wants to play LT, and I sure as hell know that I don't want him playing LT. I think he's very good a RT and would much rather see him there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 hopefully by he end of the season our OL will looks like- Bell, Wood, Hangartner, Butler, Walker. but from what I've seen so far from Hangartner we may be looking at: Bell, Levitre, Wood, Butler, Walker (which I would love btw). I really want Wood to be our Center of the future rather than guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were going to make all those moves think they would have at least been looking at it in practice by now. Like the idea of the moves, but as long as doing that, would like to see wood and hang swap positions too. I know they don't want a Rookie at center as that position is doing all the line calls on the fly in a no huddle, but I think Hang is a better guard than tackle, and that Wood was the best center in the draft. Maybe they wait till next year, so they can shuffle the line again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking a rookie and putting him, a week before the season starts, at a position he hasn't practiced is absolutely insane. It will not happen. As for the rest, who knows.

He looks like has some talent, but think your right in that it doesnt appear he is ready to go against the bigs at this level yet. A year of work with the strength and conditioning coach would do him wonders. The time to work on his technique wouldnt hurt either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurman#1 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 If they were going to make all those moves think they would have at least been looking at it in practice by now. Exactly. [i think] that Wood was the best center in the draft. After Mack, that is. Maybe they wait till next year, so they can shuffle the line again. Sigh. You're probably right.

BuffaloBill Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Just don't see that much change right now. Bell is probably the future but not quite yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStranger76 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I voted no, Seymore will absolutely destroy him. One thing I am sure of though, at least for this year, is Wood will stay at RIGHT guard. I can see a possible flipflop with Hangartner NEXT year though. As for Levitre, he could stand to definitely get stronger, but it's best off throwing him into the fire now. Believe it or not he has been a little more steady than Wood, at least as far as not missing blocks and assignments go. No matter how it shakes out, I see a bright future for the 3 interior linemen. The tackles are guys I think we could scrap by with, but I sure would like to see another added this offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
