On par with Urbik? so what's the point of signing them. We are supposed to improve the line, no status quo.If the Bills are willing to pay for Lupati then I would take him. I doubt they will pay for him though. He commands a lot of money for an offensive lineman.
Two of the more reasonably priced guards are Willie Colon from the Jets and Clint Boling from Cincinnati. Bills could sign them both or at least one of them. I would rather have Boling if I could only sign one. They are about on par with Craig Urbik in terms of talent. Move Urbik to right guard. I think he was better there? Sign a free agent for the left guard spot.
They need to bring in a veteran to compete with Henderson at tackle too. Not sure which free agent would make the most sense.
If the Bills staff was unable to make progress with the linemen they drafted this passed year, then cut them and draft replacements. Hopefully Whaley learned from that draft and will draft better linemen this time.

With so few quality QB's around, it's absurd to think that a team with a solid one would let him go. Makes no sense. Especially with Eli.
-
you mean rumors. I don't think we will hear anything from ownership until it's finalized.It think it is safe to assume that they did not want to interfere with the day to day business of operations especially since the Bills were doing OK and staying competitive for a playoff spot. I suspect that if the season went off the rails weeks ago, that we would have seen more activity from the Pegula's and gotten a glimpse at the plan. With the end of the season quickly approaching and the playoff hopes out the window, I would imagine we will start to see information trickling out and speculation to begin about potential changes and moves.

He should consider himself lucky, I hear in other parts of the country if you kick and swing at a cop, they may shoot and kill you, especially after threatening mass murder with an AK-47.

It's likely a combination - the line lacks talent, but good coaching/game planning might be better at utilizing their strengths and hiding the weaknesses.It's so hard to say. Is it the talent on the offense or the coaching/preparation? Look at Belichek. Who was he before he had 2 great QBs? OTOH, a good staff would have figured out a way to make the best with what we have, even on the fly. They have misused EJ and the O-line players. We have some good men on that line and they are not being given a chance.
-
Why mid level? so everyone can complain again next year? how about upper level?????This is the worst o-line in the NFL. I would use at least half of our draft picks on O-Lineman and sign three mid-level free agent O-lineman - have at least 15 guys in mini camp and training camp. Maybe a new O-line coach also.
How many successful coaches were great players? Marv Levy? Bill Belicheck? Bill Parcells?There's nothing like having a washed out offensive lineman build your build your line. They play as poorly as he did.
-
and Henderson at RT, and Pears and Urbik at different positions, so not nearly the same. And, players don't maintain the same quality throughout their careers, some players don't have 10 year solid careers. It doesn't matter what happened a few years ago.This same oline (sans Levitre) looked pretty good when chan was here.
-
maybe Brooks was a little miffed about Williams lining up on the line of scrimmage and letting Oakland RB's run right past him.Maybe Kyle was a little miffed about Brooks lining up 10 yards off the WR and then backpedaling 5 yards on the snap when his man ran a 6 yard out pattern.
-
I don't care if Hackett stays or goes, but Glenn got burned today, Urbik was awful, Wood as usual, sucked and Henderson as has been mentioned got burned often. Not sure OC is the main problem we have here. But my guess is that if Marrone stays, the offensive staff will see major changes. We need a QB too.
-
You think Marrone would say something publicly?Unfortunately I see nothing that indicates Marrone will sack his buddy.
-
We all realize that we need a QB and that there are so few available. Why do people think that any team would trade any quality QB to Buffalo or any other team. What would they do next? I know it's hard, but when you come up with trades, think about what the other team is left with.
-
You always hear fans worried players look past opponents. Here we are hearing fan strategy for the Patriots game. We play Oakland next week.
-
had to be.I said it was cutting edge didn't I ?
Nate's been saving it for the Pats.
It..just...might ..... work !
with a three TE bunch of course, to make a point.
Boy is Bill gonna be pissed when EJ boots left , DIVES headfirst into the endzone for the score. With Woods and Watkins clearing.
empty backfield .
Obviously
-
Is the sarcasm font on here? I"m sure Bill B would freak out .... can't imagine he would know how to react to EJ stepping behind center, the novice that he is.I really find this thought intriguing . Bringing EJ on to the field would surely overload the Patriots Headsets.
If was for just one play. Bill B. would be freaking the F out. Dont use on the Raiders though no no no. wasted effort
NO ONE WOULD SEE THAT COMING..
Genius!!
i dont think they try it , but it would be cutting edge insanity. I would love it what a way to finish the season !
Within the ten yard line i would love to see EJ in there. It would surely get a timeout at the least !
-
just one of those annoying things. OC is offensive coordinator, no need to refer to offensive center - there is no defensive center. Center has been accepted as the term for probably 100 years.
-
He can and he has. Not sure why people always think the new guy can't play worse than the old guy.I started thinking about all of the starters in the league and the ones that may be available for trade, Cutler, Kaepernick, RGIII etc....
I don't really want any of them especially not Cutler or Kaepernick because both have massive contracts and are not worth paying a bunch of money to.
So I started thinking, what backup QB is out there that we can possibly get for a late round pick? has had some kind of success in the league and can "compete" for a starting job? After going roster by roster I thought Kirk Cousins is the only one that would really be worth anything. He has one year left on his rookie contract and he is only going to be getting paid $660,000 next season. Now granted, his last couple of games that he started he didn't play well, like the Giants game when he threw 4 INTs. Other than that though he has shown a little bit at least and in my opinion is the one backup in the league with at least a small upside. If we got him for a late round pick, something like a 6th or 7th rounder to come in and again "compete" for a starting job not be given a starting job, he may be worth going after. If he doesn't play well we can release him after next season with no penalty. He can't play to much worse than Orton has been playing. We do only need somewhat mediocre QB play with our defense after all.
-
Did you watch the Rams the other night ? Can't see why they would get rid of Bradford, they need a QB.Well, if I were in charge Joe Philbin would be my OC once Miami fires him, keep Marone and Schwartz, wait till the Rams release or look to move Sam Bradford, I think he would do very well in a Green Bay style offense. Sign the top guard and draft the best center in the draft, moved wood to RG.
-
haven't we already seen him play? it wasn't pretty. Why give him another shot , but not EJ?After Rogers surgically annihilates the Bills or more specifically the Bills Offense does, I propose starting Tuel..we know what EJ and Orton bring. I'm not suggesting Tuel will ever be a playoff bound starter but is he even worth the time and effort to keep around as a number 2?...lets find out.
We have nothing to lose and can gain a few spots up the draft ladder.
Not trying to be a wise guy, but what would make you think he would be a good number 2? Not playing well as a starter? If he doesn't play well, would anyone say- let's keep him as a backup? I think we should worry about finding a starter, then work on a backup.After Rogers surgically annihilates the Bills or more specifically the Bills Offense does, I propose starting Tuel..we know what EJ and Orton bring.

Not sure if there is anything better for the price, a high draft pick? I still strongly believe that spending our resources on the O-Line is the best way to improve our QB situation. Not sure anyone else would perform too much better with the same crappy line. We need better RB play as well.There's definitely not enough quality with starters, let alone backups. That's for sure. My question, and I think it may be theirs, too, is, "Is there veteran quality better than Orton?" Given how it's played out so far, that is not a very high bar at the moment.
GO BILLS!!!

If there are any quality QB's available, it would be costly. Not sure there are teams with the luxury of having enough quality at that position to trade one. This is why so many teams need QB's , there aren't nearly enough to go around. Look at the Rams/Cards game the other night - horrible backups playing.Any of the names already bandied about in other threads? Cutler? A trade for a somebody's backup they think might be ready for his shot? Could be anybody and I certainly don't profess to know at this point. The main point is I doubt they're satisfied and I think they'll be aggressive in addressing that perceived need.
ing
I'll let everyone else rake them over the coals when it's somebody nobody around here can agree on. Hell, the QB pickins' are slim even in the best of times. I just don't see them maintaining status quo, that's all.
GO BILLS!!!
-
A veteran QB? Who?I wouldn't be too sure of that. Much may depend on what he does over the next three games, but we can look for the Bills to bring in a veteran QB. In fact, I think we'll see them be aggressive in going after one.
GO BILLS!!!

ldAnd the answer is, "F - All of the Above."
A - Playing tough DefensesB - Offensive and Ugly Offensive Line PlayC - One QB that can run but can't throw, and one QB that can throw but not run.D - A clueless Offensive Coordinator and generally crappie coaching overallE - None of the aboveF - All of the AboveG - A, C, but not B or DH - B, C, and D, but not AIt starts with poor offensive line play, which relates to below average RB performances and not so consistent QB play. I'm convinced that an above average offensive line would have us in a good playoff position right now. RB and QB would be much more effective.

No way they don't try to upgrade the line next year. Can't go in thinking anyone on the team this year will make the line better next year. It will be difficult to get a good QB next year so the best way to make an upgrade at QB is to improve the line. They must draft high and place a priority on FA.If Marrone is here next year, I don't think much will be done with the line, maybe draft someone who can backup wood and could possibly fill in at guard. Adding four guys just last year tends to have the coaches thinking they can get it done with this crew given another offseason. I think it will be interesting if they resign Hairston because if they do it may mean that Kujo may not have a home. I don't know if he bends well enough to play G. Pears/Urbik are probably gone with Williams and Richardson jumping in and whoever at backup G. So Glenn, Williams, Wood, Richardson, Henderson, Kujo and maybe Hairston.(both tackles?) along with a drafted/acquired backup or two. Hope is the word.

next, you mention the talent on offense. Where is it? Is it better talent then most other teams have? I think the main problem with the offense is it's tremendous lack of talent. Nobody on the o-line is worth a crap, No QB and little depth and TE and WR. Hackett may be a problem, but with this offensive personnel it's really hard to be sure.
