Wagon Circler Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Anybody impressed with this guy? Bills Media hype wizzes sure made a big deal out of it when we signed him. Didn't show me much in pre-season. I guess all the screen pases were designed to utilize him. As much trouble as we've had replacing Jim Kelly, we've had just as much trouble replacing Kent Hull, the greatest center in Bills history.

H2o Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Agreed on the Kent Hull note. It's hard to find a real quality C these days it seems. Hopefully Hangartner wasn't a product of the other people around him picking up the slack in Carolina or a product of their system. His familiarity with Kris Jenkins should be a plus, IMO. I'm still hoping for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he's a good pivot for the Bills, but it's hard to get rid the image of BJ Raji blowing his a$$ up in the GB pre-season game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flbillsfan#1 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 he has looked better than either of the guys we had last year Is there ANYONE on this board that would rather have last years Centers over Hangarter? Wood will be the Center in the future, for now Hangarter is an UPGRADE over what we had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed Hangartner is more mobile...other than that, I haven't notice much of a difference....hopefully Wood can take over there next year so we can get Butler back to RG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Hangartner hasnt stood out bad or good, if all our OL was like that we would be fine upfront. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 he has looked better than either of the guys we had last year This is not saying much - clearly an upgrade but it remains to be seen how much of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsZubaz Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Hangartner hasnt stood out bad or good, if all our OL was like that we would be fine upfront. Generally being unnoticed is a good thing for an offensive lineman. I thought he has looked solid for the most part. But God forbid someone say something positive about a Bills player. Haven't you heard? They all suck. Idk why they play the season.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hossage Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I think he has been solidly average, but hasnt made any dumb mistakes, so I would say that makes him slightly above average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seadog Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I hope he's a good pivot for the Bills, but it's hard to get rid the image of BJ Raji blowing his a$$ up in the GB pre-season game. Yeah Ragi owned his ass in that game. Scary because he was supposed to be the answer to handling the 3-4 nose tackles and it looks like he will need help from a guard to do that. I hope Wood is the future there, but don't know if he can play center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 It's hard to find a real quality C these days it seems. Bills had their chance at a few centers this year and even drafted one but decided to move him to guard...they could have also drafted Mangold a few years ago but instead drafted McCargo....we know how that worked out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGB Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Hangartner seems to be average and the Bills sure do not seem to have many players other than a punter (with all his exposure during games) in a position to be selected to the Pro-Bowl...

Take that one further. There are very, very few (like count on one hand) on this entire board that have any idea what they are looking at with O-line play in the NFL. Certainly I don't. I like to think I do sometimes, and I try to learn as much as I can, but ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
