Alec Anderson has had training All over The line He's not a tackle though.. he's not coming in to replace Dion Dawkins or Spencer Brown full time at tackle He is a great fit at the interior offensive line.. guard or center... Where he played a lot of snaps really well first off bench.. he was the first back up option at the interior He 100% is going to be a starting guard or center for an NFL team if it's not the bills sooner than later.. he's very athletic with good technique and his grade matches the eye test He is a player on the rise at a position with not a lot of depth in the NFL . Line play is at an all-time low and he's good svgp has some promise at center to me Anderson's athletic ability and ability to play the entire interior will give him a leg up if they ever go head-to-head in a competition for the center spot.. who knows in 3 years it could be Anderson and guard and svgp at center but I really like Anderson's profile at the center position Their draft slot has nothing to do with anything There are plenty of first round busts and undrafted players in the Hall of Fame ... It's how they view you on draft day.. the second you step into an NFL locker your draft status doesn't matter.. Christian Benford the sixth round pick beat out the first round pick They're draft slot was irrelevant and it does not always point to ceiling because Alec Anderson has an extremely high ceiling he was very raw coming out and needed to learn

Alec Anderson was the best six lineman in the NFL last year By his contract status.. an exclusive rights free agent he couldn't negotiate with another team or receive a longer deal than what he got He's in line for a good payday by the Buffalo Bills or another team and the bills definitely value him by how much they played him

Wow

What people forget is that McGovern was a natural center at Penn st but played all over Got drafted by the cowboys who had a great center... So he had to learn guard at the NFL level.. which has a completely different skill set than a center So we had to improve his one-on-one technique and drive blocking and core strength When the cowboys tried him back out at center it was a learning curve because it was something he didn't do for a while and got adjusted to guard.. the blocking scheme for a center and guard is completely different The bills brought him in to play guard while eventually taking over center so they had him cross training to stay fresh.. and he got to reacclimate some of his center skills before he was thrown to the fire

By pure metrics and production it has to be Butch Byrd

That will really hurt his contract with his next team The bills have world class physicians if he's playing possum.. the bills might not be able to force him to dress but they can spread the word this guy is no bueno

He is the Bruce Smith of hockey Longevity with consistent production and people feared him

Yes he's under contract 100% And he's not threatening a holdout he just wants a big contract In my opinion you run him into the ground and get a compensation pick next year

Cook is Chris Johnson lite I loved the pick on draft and envisioned this certainly once he got his shot He has tremendous vision and is a natural runner... Still have trepidation about paying him 15 million FYI his house in Buffalo is for sale so I think he knows he's gone

You're not going to get much for him because what you just said He's literally asking for big contract.. so whatever team trades for him is going to have to give up assets and a big contract That's going to drive down his price substantially

He was shooting steroids on his weiner?

Is that a travel or double dribble Either way it would have been a foul if he touched the ball It would have been a foul

I don't get what people are hoping for out of a fifth round short-armed center We literally have a better one right now... Svgp is squarely a guy who needed development Why is everybody so eager to throw a fifth round pick out there to play when we have better people on the line Our center is bigger stronger, longer, has NFL experience.. like I wouldn't be trying to get rid of him... And as I said Alec Anderson has played C, G and T .. was the most valuable sixth offensive lineman last year in the NFL He's getting a crack at C or G before svgp rn

Didn't even realize TJ was that high He definitely has a chance if he stays healthy The key is 12 sack seasons past 35

the not liking to tackle was also a little overblown... Like he was so physical his first couple of years he would have been out of the league after 5 if he didn't change his play style a little bit Like he was cracking tight ends and running backs his first couple years... He was playing hurt He had a collision with Eddie Lacy.. early in his career , mind you, Eddie Lacey was the biggest running back in the NFL at the time.. over 255 No corners back in the day we're taking him on head on.. and Gilmore full speed collided with Lacey so hard they both were slow to get up he certainly lost that after that

Because they did have four down defensive sets where Bruce was playing wide Only when they were lined up in the base was Bruce playing inside .. he did line up outside the tackle too Myles Garrett is the only one with a shot

He was massively underrated here though People called him a bum consistently throughout his career but I always was clamoring that Gilmore was a All-Pro on a bad team One great corner doesn't make or break a team but he wasn't the reason we were bad.. I certainly did think he was a top corner even with the bills who got a bad rep Like I'm not putting a rank on him one through five but he was a stud here.. he played with a club.. people used to question his toughness and he played with a broken hand lol

He has a long road to crack the starting center job anyways 15 years ago when the bills were awful sure we can draft a fifth round pick or a six-round pick and we had to play him because we were bad... He's probably third at the center cracking order rn behind McGovern and I think Alec Anderson gets a crack there first of McGovern isn't re-signed He doesn't have the length to be a guard.. svgp Alec Anderson who is the most valuable sixth offensive lineman in the NFL last year is the guy getting groomed everywhere.. he has played center guard and tackle And certainly is going to be given a shot at center if we don't re sign McGovern That's my prediction

They have a great fan base When I went down there it was the only place that reminded me of a buffalo tailgate Friendly people, they offered food and drinks... They were passionate but friendly I really don't have anything bad to say about the people of KC

Alex Van pelt looked like your typical Buffalo pizza delivery guy

I'm not a tourist and I been going to bar bill a long time! Duffs is where Tourist's go for decades lol bar bill has only exploded in popularity semi recently

Places like Lucias on the lake and giancarlos are pretty expensive... Might need a reservation too I put Lucias in the seafood, but they also have a mean tomahawk and overall great food Ebenezer ale House for some food and drinks and great wings too! West Seneca Brightsmith brewery in williamsville awesome place for food and drinks So many great places

Yeah I know I did spread him out lol but the Buffalo region is pretty condensed From my house I can probably hit all of those spots at the closest in 3 to 5 minutes.. the furthest drive for me would probably be hoaks or jays artisan.. and I can still probably get there in 20 minutes So if you're traveling in the area these are probably all accessible within 10 to 20 minutes Jays artisan was named top the 8th best pizzeria in the country

I hear you and I think he's super super talented He has a great build, and I like a shorter running back

I see way more Buffalo Bills gear in Buffalo then there were people wearing Cleveland browns gear in Cleveland Sure Buffalo is a smaller City but it's definitely like Alabama for its craziness with football .. it is like an SEC town with sports People say goodbye in Buffalo by saying go bills.. like when you're walking down the street you don't say have a good day you say go bills that's pretty omnipresent But I do get your point we are a small city
