The Lines

by smov656 on Mar 15, 2010 11:23 PM EDT

Buffalo dosent need to listen to all of us who think they know what to do. All they have to do is build the team they want. I think there gonna build it the rt way from the lines out. this year is one of the deepest for linemen on both sides in the last 15 yrs. So thats a smart move. Next yr is the yr we get the qb of the future and add some other peices like Lbs and other wrs. Worrie about building the lines with a good draft this yr. in fact i would love to see them pick all line men in this draft. The reasoning being is last yr with all the injuries shows u cant have enough GOOD LINEMEN. DONT BE FOOLED IN TO THINKING BELL CAN PLAY LT AND BE A STARTER CAUSE HE CANT.Buffalo showed that when u have a LT U DONT GET RID OF HIM CAUSE UR NOT GOING TO HAVE ONE AS GOOD TO REPLACE HIM IN THREE YRS.So Stop beliveing dicky j knows linemen. Darft the best linemen avaible and lets get rolling.

Just another great fan opinion shared on the pages of BuffaloRumblings.com.

I am all for drafting linemen...

and have been frustrated for years for that very reason.

BUT I wouldn’t go ahead and straight up write off Bell after, what, eight games? Maybe fewer?

Guess we should defer to RON on this one. thoughts?

Me Too.

I am all for drafting linemen.

I hope the pickup of Wood and Levitre was someone in the current front office’s idea and will continue to build upon the premise of fixing the lines. It usually take a LT 2-3 years to develop, and Oher is proof of that, he started at RT for a reason, to ease him into the NFL competition level, he will be the LT soon.

If Okung or Bulaga are on the board at #9, we have to take them, if they aren’t, only then should we consider another position.

There's not a wide receiver who is fast enough, that J.P. Losman can't overthrow him on a fly pattern.

I wouldn’t either, but I would rather see him prove he can play RT before trying to plug him in at LT.

I like to repeat EVERYTHING I SAY. And to use CAPS TO TRY AND PROVE MY POINT.

The more I see, the less I know.

I think I'm tired

Because I read most of the second paragraph before I realized it was a repeat of the first one.

On Bell

I dont think bell be at LT again the man is not able to hold his own on that side RT should be more better for him and hopefully he can hold that down

Bell

Fit’s better on the Left than then the right. At LT he can use his quickness and athleticness to his advantage. Whereas at RT he’s gonna be matched up against those big ol mean run stuffers, where his (relative) lack of strength would show up more.

and I thought the center and guards lined up against run stuffers. shows what I know.

Hahahaha

Look at DE’s on mostroster’s. Yhe guy lining up over LT is usualyy a better pass rusher, The RE is usually better against the run. Is there exception’s? Yes, but it’s a pretty good general rule of thumb.

A great post

Until the bit on D. Bell. That kind of contradicts your point. Time will tell. I thought Jaroun drafted Peters also. Anyway, yes Bell was litterally forced into the LT spot, time and experience will dictate his worth there. Other than that, we have no choice to play the hand we are dealt. With the draft being so deep in big guys, it is a perfect opportunity to solidify the lines and grab a C.J. Spiller or Javhan Best early. Not to mention another TE ETC…..

This is like dumping a new puzzle from it's box. Now let's start putting the peices together. I guess this is what we all asked for.

Peters was a Donohoe signing

undrafted FA as he played TE at Arkansas

lol

I didnt mean to repeat it. Iam just saying we need more linemen. And i thought they screwed there self and peters by making him wait. Should of signed him. Him Being a TE in collage and making to probowl LT in the pros he earned is money unlike most !st rd picks.The caps to show how stupid Dicky J was in thinking he could be better without peters.
