thebandit27 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Being a fan with the openness of the internet is so controlling. If Henderson is starting LT material and the Bills down the road can trad him for a high draft pick why not do so? I think the most obviously accepted answer is: Because we'd rather have 2 great OTs than a draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kota Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Depends on when Glenn is ready to go. Moving Seantrel to RT and putting Pears at RG could be an option. Pears has played well and is a mauler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying dump Henderson. A trade for a pick at some point simply may be an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't ever want to give up a great player unless I know I've got another one in the fold. If I knew that all of Glenn, Kouandjio, and Henderson were all healthy, under contract long-term, and quality starting OTs, then I might consider it if the pick(s) were really enticing. It would take a bounty though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffaloed in Pa Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Kouandjio looks really stiff and slow. Horrible pass blocking. Strong but sloooowww. feet. I don`t know how you make somebody quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
....lybob Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Convert him to TE/FB and let me have my Watson, Williams, Woods, Spiller spread offense with Henderson as the blocking force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down the road is a different discussion but you don't trade young inexpensive tackles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Cubed Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I think the answer to "what about Henderson?" is that he still needs to play more snaps before it's determined what can happen to him. While he did look good against the Giants, he made a couple mistakes against the Panthers. Many a "HOF preseason player" has gone on to preform horribly in the regular season. I'd like to wait and see how he comes along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPS Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Promising or not, these rookies haven't played a down in the NFL or been the through the process of an NFL season. I submit the Bills don't even know what they have yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kellyto83TD Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 From what I have heard from Camp and seen in 2 games Kouandjio is a guard in the NFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manther Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) If we were not in a" win now for the new owner mode" there's no question SH would be out opening day RT. I'm not sure of that now. I'd start Cordy at LT, Seantrel at RT and make Hairston the swing tackle. Pears is odd man out and a trade possibility. Nobody will trade for Pears. Start Glenn at LT and Henderson at RT. Kouandijo or Hairston can back up at swing tackle and back up for G too. Edited August 10, 2014 by Manther Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klos63 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 He hasn't even played a regular season down yet and you already have him as a really good starter in the NFL and possible trade bait This board is out of control He hasn't even played a regular season down yet and you already have him as a really good starter in the NFL and possible trade bait This board is out of control Right, and even if he was good enough to start, what's the point in trading him. We are finally building a roster with much needed depth, and some want to trade it away, especially a find in the 7th round. Crazy. We should want to keep our good players.

Kelly the Dog Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 This says a lot about Kouandjio as much as it says about Henderson. That two preseason games into his rookie season he is not ready to start against a five year vet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I think the most obviously accepted answer is: Because we'd rather have 2 great OTs than a draft pick. Wait a minute...you mean you'd rather have talent and depth on the O-line instead of trading it away? What are you thinking?? Right, and even if he was good enough to start, what's the point in trading him. We are finally building a roster with much needed depth, and some want to trade it away, especially a find in the 7th round. Crazy. We should want to keep our good players. Also every draft people here want to trade down to get more depth. We are finally adding talent and depth and some want to trade it away. Buffalo may have the best fans but certainly not the smartest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Kouandjio looks really stiff and slow. Horrible pass blocking. Strong but sloooowww. feet. I don`t know how you make somebody quicker. I wonder what his actual weight is. Getting in shape and dropping 20+/- pounds would still leave him with monstrous size and should improve his agility, but he does look more like a guard in his current condition. Time will tell...

3rdand12 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) I wouldn't say OL is more important to this team than QB. If you add a pro bowl OL to this team we are still a question mark. If you add a pro bowl QB to this team we are a contender. But that said, agree with you play your best five. Marrone is a big proponent of that, too, and has said it numerous times. Not sure how it plays out here though, with Cordy having to play his way into normal shape first before game shape. I would love to see Henderson at RT but I really don't see us doing it in the next few weeks. Is it possible the design is not for the QB to be the extremely pivotal position ?Protect the Kid and let him run the plays as designed this season. If the Bills are going to run the ball , as i think among others , the weight might be balanced out against the Offense as a whole. The O line is critical either way imho ps there is still enough time to get this sorted . Edited August 10, 2014 by 3rdand12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The O line is critical either way imho ps there is still enough time to get this sorted . That is the design because EJ is the QB, and he is inexperienced. If they had a very good QB I guarantee that would not be the design, unless the guy we had who is very good is the guy we could have had, Russell Wilson, who would manage the game like they want EJ to. Top QBs obviously are not easy to find, but Whaley and Marrone would not have this offense or want to do what they are doing if they had a dynamic player at that position.

It's in My Blood Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I'm going out on a limb here but I think Henderson will be this years Kiko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
