I don't think you said that but I read from many that we should do that. I always found it odd we want to move our best LT. I know Kujo filled in here and there in spot starts and time but he obviously didn't show enough to be considered a full time starter. That's what my stance was....never liked the idea of moving Glenn. Kujo has been let go by 2 teams in the last 3 months.

Right; it's obvious at this point he can't play full-time, or he'd be on a roster somewhere. The point wasn't to move Glenn; the point was that it was a one-year band-aid option to get the best combo of 5 on the field--it didn't materialize.

Pete Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I liked Whaley, but he did make several misakes. I hated the Kujo pick! There were scout reports online how poorly his form was, bad knee, disapointing senior season. He reached bad for Kujo. Jarvis Landry, Allen Peterson, Devante Adams, Carlos Hyde...were some of the players selected after Kujo. That is almost as bad as trading up for Ragland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiltonWaddams Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Pretty soon you'll hear "move Dawkins to LT and Glenn to RT", you know it's coming. I know that the popular opinion has long been that your #1 tackle should be the LT in order to protect the blind side, but watching the league in the past decade has me thinking that having the bookends is just as imperative to OL success. Teams are lining up top pass rushers off the RT consistently and having success doing it. I love having Glenn at LT, but if Dawkins is a reasonably small downgrade, Glenn would provide such an immense upgrade at RT that he would easily provide the line with far superior performance 1-5. My ideal world has Glenn-Richie-Wood-Miller/Groy-Dawkins, but based on what we've seen in the preseason, Dawkins has not acclimated to RT in the way that he slid into LT against the Ravens.

Yep...not a difficult concept to grasp. It doesn't mean that (1) Dawkins would be a better LT than Glenn, (2) the Glenn would be a permanent fixture at RT, or (3) it's a definite solution to the OL issues. It would simply mean (hypothetically) that--for a single season--moving Glenn over to the right side would get the best combination of 5 on the field. Why that's such a massive mystery to a few folks will never make sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I discovered months ago, I know you aren't serious with the schtick...because there's no way physically possible that someone could be this poor at following a discussion. If you were serious, you would literally never have a functioning conversation, because the crux of practically everything I've ever seen you attempt to discuss on this board is entirely lost on you.

Utah John Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Where is he this season? He would be a massive upgrade over Castillo. Kromer is coaching the O line for the Rams. I'm not sure why the Bills didn't keep him since he clearly did a great job at elevating the performance of the players, and the blocking schemes the Bills used last year were very effective (led the league in rushing).

teef Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Yea it was. He played very well last year filling in for Glenn. Then he fell on his hip in the offseason. That could've played a part as well. Not sure. But our offensive line has looked awful so far this preseason. The loss of Kromer could be a reason for why. so, you agree that you were a bit premature about heavily complaining about losing a guy that has some serious issues?

DefenseWins Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I never saw anything in CK to make me feel that he would be a valuable member of the OL... I'm not so sure that he is better than any of the other OL.(with the lone exception of Ducasse) Leaving his "extracurricular activities" out of the discussion entirely, I'm not sure the Bills have any interest in him as the blocking scheme has changed this year.

BuffaloHokie13 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Tell this to Mike Tomlin. Who kept the same defensive scheme and most of the defensive staff intact when he got hired in Pittsburgh despite running a cover 2 in Minnesota. It's popular tkeep a staff intact based on their performance. Mularkey did it when he came in here in keeping the defensive staff intact after Greggo got fired. Didn't Tomlin retain Dick LeBeau when he was hired though? Kind of a legend, unlike Rob Ryan/whoever called our D last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
