Cynical Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Would be nice.. I think he was a great right tackle. Pardon me, but how many games did Butler play @ RT? And you know for a fact he was a "great" tackle based on such a small sample size? This board kills me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkady Renko Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 I just wished they had not missed with the right side of the line (and that Brad Butler had not retired) and then drafted Wood to play C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWVABillsFan Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Somethings that happen in the past really suck but when they are done, they are done. As Nix and Gailey are doing all they can do is deal with what is. I hated to see gim go also. Truth be known though he was to slow for a tackle that is why he was moved inside.

Mark Vader Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Pardon me, but how many games did Butler play @ RT?

However, I would rather have Butler at RT than any of the other players we have at that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynical Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Great is stretching it. However, I would rather have Butler at RT than any of the other players we have at that position. To clarify, I have no idea if he would have been good, great, or lousy. I just think making a definitive judgment based on 1-2 games is laughable.

Peter Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 His retirement came out of nowhere. I also thought he had a lot of upside and definitely would be an upgrade over what we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5 Wide Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I really liked Butler at RT. He had good size, Nasty Eric Wood style of play, and he could play the position well. That retirement hurt the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Butler was a non-productive, constantly injured lineman. It is hard to know whether he was a better guard or right tackle because of his ever so frequent injuries. It is actually better to not be counting on him this year. Perhaps someone on the roster can develop into a steady RT, something Butler was not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Time for some reality. If there is inside joking going on I am not following it. Butler was a tackle in college who projected as a guard in the NFL. He was a good guard. He was an ok right tackle. That is it. Nothing special. Walker was a better RT than Butler. The only reason he even played tackle on the Bills is because our inept Front Office and coaching staff let Peters go and then cut Walker after trying to turn Walker into a LT on a no huddle offense.

The Bills could use breaks like Wang and Bell developing into at least competent, at best top half of the league tackles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lets_go_bills Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Would be nice.. I think he was a great right tackle. He was okay. When he wasn't hurt. He had potential but couldn't stay on the field long enough to realize it. He'd be an upgrade over Green though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully agree. If the Bills could field a pair of competent OTs, it would be shocking, let alone an extremely pleasant surprise. It would be a huge step toward being a football team that could win more games than it loses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
