Which Bills could switch sides of the ball?


Recommended Posts

 

That took twelve minutes, what's wrong?

 

It was in the OP. You don't start a thread like this without immediately acknowledging Kiko could dominate at all 22 positions, as well as coaching. Who could dispute a Kiko challenge on the play?

The only scenario I see is a goal line big package to punch it in with either Kyle Williams, or Allen Branch, or maybe even Dareus.

obviously kiko would win at all positions, but FB in these situations would suit him perfectly. ok kiko, just run as fast as you can at the guy in the b gap, and go!

Captain obvious here, but Kiko Alonso would be all-pro at just about every position.

 

with no one else on the field for the Bills. !

 

If I was the Bills coaches, I'd make Lee Smith a OT. He is the worst receiver in the league but he would be a really athletic tackle.

 

I love this idea. And with Marrone being a former OL coach, you think he could teach him the techniques. He has the athletic ability. Plus, he could be one of those "eligible" offensive lineman in goaline situations. Perhaps this happens if they draft a TE early as they will have too many then. At least train him to play OT for depth purposes

Would love this. And on the off chance we draft Barr from UCLA, he could obviously be used as a red zone/goaline RB/FB.

How about Easely----6'2" 217 lbs he's fast, obviously tackles well, and apparently gets no respect from Bills as a WR.

 

Does Easley really tackle? He does not really ever make open field tackles on special teams. He runs into people. Return men are typically smallish. A punt returner who has a focus on catching the ball is way different than tackling a RB in the open field.

I get what you're saying, and yes those skills are different, between safety and gunner, but from what I remember, he is a surprisingly strong tackler for a guy whose only ever played offense.

 

It's too bad that the NFL doesn't have an effective minor league system, like the MLB, to send a guy down, work on his craft by getting many snaps against others in a game-type situation, and come back up having improved on a weakness at their current position, or having learned a whole new position, like what Rick Ankiel did with the Cardinals. A guy like Easley, who is likely stuck on ST's if he wants to make a roster, not good enough to make it at WR, and limited coaching time under the new CBA with heavy restrictions on practice time, to hinder his coaching interaction to make the position switch, would be perfect for it. He's on the edge of the Bills' roster (though he is a valuable STer), but a year in the "minors" and he could come back up with a valuable new skill set, and get new life in the league.

 

I know he is gone now but I always wanted to try Corey McIntyre at MLB

 

Oh, and I'll be the one to make the joke... I really have him pegged more as the Jack LB.
