merlin Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Anyone know of any hot FA or draft prospects at CENTER? I think that's what the Bills will wind up needing. I see Jonas Jennings moving on as a FA (to re-unite with Peerless in Atlanta), but I think Teague could be a reasonable starting LT ... so we'll need someone to replace him with at center. Anyone got any ideas? GO BILLS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GO BILLS! 196273[/snapback] It's hard for me to imagine Teague playing LT in the Clements offense, an offense that would benefit mostly from a bulldozer at LT, someone along the lines of, let's say, a fit Mike Williams? That would make finding a RT in the draft or FA a much easier prospect, especially considering they'd be working next to our best OLineman. The position to watch in FA is LG- does this team truly believe they can polish up Tucker or will they make a move that indicates they feel a quality vet at LG would push the running O over the top?

VABills Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Agreed. Plus Teague was legit at C this year. 196333[/snapback] He was average. H didn't get pushed over like a china doll, and wasn't snapping the shotgun snaps over Drews head. However, he still seems lost at sliding or picking up defenders to block.

Plus Teague was legit at C this year. 196333[/snapback] You have to have some amount of sympathy for any poor bastid who has to play alongside Pucillo. Mike clearly is not an NFL caliber lineman and his presence on our roster exposes how thin we are on our OG depth chart. VA Bills- I'd give him some credit for his feet- they use him a lot to break to the outside block on off-tackle runs and there's not a lot of centers who can get out there. If you go back to games and watch how many times a Willis run is spring for 8+ yards INSIDE of a Teague block you might give him a higher rating, at least in this run block first offense.

cashfruit Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 you guys might think he's a little nuts but barret robbins is a really good center, big and strong...and not needed in oakland anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBXBILLSFAN Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Apparently there's a kid at LSU - Ben Wilkerson or Wilkinson? - who is highly regarded, although I think Teague did a reasonably good job this past season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frogger Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 this looks like a strong LT draft, although the idea of starting a rookie with Bledsoe in the backfield is scary, I am wondering, if and when Moulds restructures his contract, could we then afford to resign Jennings, his value is greater than Williams. However I would love to have them both back. Jennings should not command the same amount of money as Light, but who knows. Teague is not a LT.

Wiz Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I know this is a bit off topic, but is keeping Bledsoe costing us a lot of cap room for next year, and, essentially keeping us from re-signing Jennings or big Pat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stussy109 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I really feel that whether JJ leaves or not, we have our starting o-line on the roster already. Teague WILL NOT play LT, they have spent years acclumating him to become a good center. Mike Williams may move to LT, and Marcus Price fill the shoes of Jennings temporarily. IF teague, were to move to LT, no doubt Ross Tucker fills his shoes at center, tehy are very high on tucker's abilities. I think the real question is, who is a prospect at LG.
