klos63 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Definitely not worth it for a one-dimensional guard what makes him one-dimensional - why do you think he is one of the highest rated guards available and a 3 time pro bowler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 what makes him one-dimensional - why do you think he is one of the highest rated guards available and a 3 time pro bowler? He's known not to be a great pass blocker. Gave up a ton of sacks last year. Near tops in league. Although without seeing the plays it's tough to know what happened. But he's a very average pass blocker from all indications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM57 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 what makes him one-dimensional - why do you think he is one of the highest rated guards available and a 3 time pro bowler? Fans vote on Pro Bowlers that's useless information. He's an elite run blocker but an average pass protector and can be beat by simple stunts.

GunnerBill Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I think average in pass protection is kind. He is a little below average from what I have seen. I still think Boling is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 The gap in pressures allowed from the top 2-3 guards vs say 10th is normally pretty minimal but the gap in pay is pretty large. I'd rather the money go elsewhere and get simply a strong vet not the elite guard. A strong vet won't give you the satisfaction of sporting a Lupati jersey.

Pete Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Lou potty is best run blocking guard in the nfl. He is enormous, and he can move. But he also gave up 6 sacks last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RealityCheck Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 He broke his ankle in the NFC Championship game. Was he 100%? How did the line play around him? The entire unit struggle last year and Staley was a liability as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the Bills might be running 82% of the time and running screens to Watkins and McCoy 13% of the time I don't see a problem. NOTE: The other 5% are ST's plays and kneel downs.

The entire unit struggle last year and Staley was a liability as well. Niners lost Daniel Kilgore, their center early on in the season. His replacement was very colin brown-esque. It hurt the play of the OL for sure. He's exactly what we're looking for IMO as we plan to pound the rock and create big hashing holes for McCoy to romp through. Not as fan of his potential contract of 8.5, but he could be the difference between a good offense and a crap offense that can't move the chains.

I would find it curious if the raiders didn't sign Wisniewski but brought in Iupati. I would like to have Wisniewski here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealityCheck Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Staley was the one guy who wasn't a liability. False. Watch any of the games and focus on the O-line. Staley had a down year and appeared unmotivated at times. The entire unit was a mess last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Can't wait for "Lupati" to be signed somewhere else so this thread can die. Sure, but Lou Potty is such a great name!

Chuck Wagon Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I really want one out of Iupati, Boling or Wisnewski. I'll take any one of them, they are far and way better than the rest of the interior linemen. One of those 3 and Bulaga should be our top two targets. I could see Iupati getting 5/$40 with 25 mil guaranteed. We could sign him at $7-$8 mil of our cap, but he would let us cut $5 mil of salary in Urbik and Williams. Giving up $3 mil of cap room for Iupati seems to be a no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franchiseneedsme Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 They should go hard after bowling and Balaga.they would both run around 6-7 million dollars a year.after keeping Hughes the defense would remain the same and the offence would be greatly upgraded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 @RossJonesFOX: Hearing the #Bills aren't slowing down anytime soon. Pushing to sign Mike Iupati or Bryan Bulaga. @RossJonesFOX: Also, other options for #Bills could be OG Jahri Evans and WR Percy Harvin if/when they become available.
