PaattMaann Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) thanks for posting, but I disagree about it being an interesting read. "The Bills line has been better with him sidelined"???? No. Dawkins has done a pretty good job filling in, for a rookie, but our best line would be Glenn-Incognito-Wood-Miller-Dawkins.... and I highly doubt the author knows about Glenn being "placed on the trading block" considering how tight lipped OBD has been since McBeane took over.

oldmanfan Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I hope not. Look around the league and O line play is poor overall. If they like Dawkins then move Glenn to RT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 In my opinion it does not make sense. I'd rather wait until he's healthy and put him back at LT full time and then get Dawkins ready to take over at RT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 I just thought it was an interesting thought. It would free up more cap space, net us another draft pick in return CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juice_32 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I'd prefer him at RT if it came to it but the best option is to not rush him back. Let him get healthy and lets give it one more go at LT. If he can get back to form he is a solid player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebandit27 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I think that would be a mistake. You have a very good LT who, when healthy, locks up a critical spot on your OL that you don't have to think about. Let Dawkins play until Glenn is healthy, and then decide where he fits. If it's RT, great, you now don't have to think about that. If he needs to kick inside to guard, so be it. If it comes down to that he can't play RT or guard, then you see what you can do with Glenn possibly moving to another spot temporarily. Whatever it takes to get the best combination of 5 on the field is what's most important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aristocrat Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 According to cap sites it doesn’t save money until next year and you always need depth. We need o line depth.

scribo Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 The difference between an actual playoff run and another disappointing finish will be depth. We need it in the right places, and the o-line is one of the most important places. Don't get rid of anyone who is serviceable at this point.

YoloinOhio Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 No way. The OL will be better with a "healthy" Glenn. I assume Richie is having to help Dawkins more than he would Glenn. And if Dawkins can take over on the right side it would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Not a terrible idea, but we would have to: (1) wait till he proves he is healthy; (2) Henderson comes back and plays well. Right now our line is doing a good job, but we lack depth with Glenn constantly injured. Would be nice to have him and Dawkins both starting.

Bills Fan of St Augustine Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 It is tempting to unload a marginal talent who commands a big salary, but I am inclined to hang on to the very limited talent we do have on the OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I would not risk him playing this week he is well worth his salary when healthy. No way I would trade him , the dead cap for this year and next would be brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 No way. Cordy Glenn is our best offensive lineman. It sucks that he's injured, and hopefully he can come back after the bye week.

tombstone56 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I think putting him on trading block injured would not get us anything,get through this year ,evaluate after the season ,same consideration has to be given with Marcell,,IF at that point neither has shown they make a noticeable contribution,then i would look for draft or pre-draft moves..

Newsflash for anyone not in tune with Beano/McDerma era. Everyone is available for trade. Big Discounts available on Whaley/Rex guys. Hell beano even trades guys he is not shopping like Watkins. Trades or cuts guys Bills could use like Seymour and JWill, Gives up on guys before they get healthy and show what they can do who have a "take the top off the D speed" which Bills are desperate for right now, in Kolby Listenbeee. Give up on ST stud Easley for below avg old marginal ST player Colt Anderson. Plug in two undersized Jauron type avg talent 5th round Linbackers just because they drafted them while letting a real prospect still healing go to Chiefs for a future song not yet written. They are as unpredictable as a typical Bills early season record. Don't try to make sense of their methods, they are all over the map. Just win baby and all is good. If they came out and said they are playing Tyrod at Safety and starting Logan Thomas at QB, it would not surprise me.
