Beef Jerky Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 From the other thread it sounds like Hughes will be getting more money elsewhere. Bummer, 10 sacks per year is hard to replace. We have been spoiled the last 2 yrs Not really... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norton20 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) I have zero confidence in Richardson, Urbik and Williams. After watching the horrific guard play last year, I am willing to have them spend for someone who can play. Going on the cheap and "coaching them up" was Marrone's demise (and in my mind his legacy). Guards have to deal with monsters like Suh, Wilfork, Darreus, McCoy, Sheldon Richardson et al. You NEED good guards to succeed against the upper end DT's that are now routinely high 1st round picks. It's not like the old days with fat guy space eating DT's that couldn't move. Pay for one good guard at least. You got Incognito on the cheap. Draft one too. It wouldn't bother me in the slightest to shoot for a right tackle as well. Seantrel Henderson has promise but he was mediocre at best last year. Make all the young guys compete and earn their spots Edited March 6, 2015 by norton20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(sir, I'm referring to the fun time we have had on this board for over a month. There was an OP who misspelled the name in the thread title. We had some fun with it and the name Lupati just stuck. Its kind of like a code or something. I intend no disrespect to you. But 'round these parts, its Lupati). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 http://www.buffalorumblings.com/buffalo-bills-rumors/2015/3/5/8158041/mike-iupati-david-harris-buffalo-bills-free-agency-targets-2015 Let's see what condiment these guys add next. I think we all think Harris will be here, will they shell out the dough needed to bring iupati here? rather have Clint Bolling who is a better pass blocker and cheaper I want Hughes back and we have to sign Dareus next yr and dont forget there will be a lot of available qb's next yr too. I think putting a lot of money into a Guard is not smart. There are cheaper options in FA and the draft. such as Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloFan68 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Dream Team: Sign Iupati, Vernon Davis, Revis, Searcy & Hughes. Draft Sean Mannion & a big DT to groom under Kyle Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I've asked this before but can't remember the answer. If Boling is the better pass blocker and all-around G, why is he cheaper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 such as Eli, Rothlesberger, Bradford, Cam, RG3, Luck, Bears will cut Cutler, Foles will probably be available too, and a few backups that are better than anyone we have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not at the table Karlos Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 It would be great to sign Lupati since he's not only a great guard but he's also familiar with Roman. perfect. People call wgr and continue to call him this. I understand it's a running joke on here with some but I'm convinced most people don't understand the difference between I and L.

Might as well mention Fitz, Stanton, Shaub and Cousins while we are at it. Even Cassell will hit FA next year. Will be a huge year of re-signed QBs. perfect.

YoloinOhio Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Iupati made the Pro Bowl 12,13,14 but pass protection is not the best but I would assume nfl GMs are aware of who is better regardless of the PB elections, right? If Boling is the better G, I have to think he will be more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 but I would assume nfl GMs are aware of who is better regardless of the PB elections, right? If Boling is the better G, I have to think he will be more expensive. Iupati is the better overall player. He's flat-out dominant in the run game, and is slightly above average in pass protection. He'd be well above average if he were fully recovered from his leg injury; not sure that's the case. Boling is, IMO, a very good guard. His skills are balanced between the run game and pass protection. He's probably moderately better in pass pro than Iupati, but Boling doesn't dominate in the run game the way Iupati does; Boling is merely effective. I'm guessing Iupati is $8M+ (maybe even $9M...let's remember that Levitre got $8M), whereas Boling is probably a $6M/year guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just makes no sense based on the assessments I've read of both. Many who feel Boling is, at worst, just as good. I had a feeling it was just low balling what they think Boling will get. If he's a 6m guy that makes more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
