Reader Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) We'll see if he makes it past training camp. At least Beane has been busy, I can't remember the last time the Bills have had four players (even if most are depth) re-signed this early.

Would agree if same coaching staff but new OLine Coach will want his guys as starters - ie Castillo bringing Ducasse in. Mills if kept will be for depth purposes only - less likely given Searles signing today. IMO McBeane will look to sign a FA starter at C and RT, the draft an LT moving Dawkins to LG and Teller to RG. Very doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very doable. I don't think they'll move Dawkins or Teller. I think they'll sign a Center and RG in free agency and then bring in some guys from the draft and depth guys to compete, but ultimately this year won't find an upgrade at RT. But we'll see. You have to remember that there are a ton of teams looking for oline help. The Bills will be lucky to sign two quality starters, much less 3. And you never know if a rookie draft pick will be ready to start or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Castillo ran a zone blocking type scheme, I wonder what the new O-Line coach will run ? Here is a good article on the Colts oline this past season. I know he was only the assistant coach but coaches should take knowledge with them. Also the Colts have like three first round picks, a second, and a fourth on their line I believe. I am sure that makes a big difference in itself. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000991118/article/behind-the-o-line-colts-authoring-incredible-turnaround-up-front 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather they resign Mills as the swing back up tackle then Sirles and that's really saying something. Mills will be paid a lot more than this guy..

Florida Bills Fanatic Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Maybe just a camp body, maybe has shown something in practice that we didn't see in game action, maybe depth in anticipation of sending Groy and Bodine down the road. At this point in time, it's anyone's guess. there will be a lot of these kinds of moves on the way to a 90 player roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerlyofCtown Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) 3 hours ago, Ethan in Portland said: They will not draft ten guys. McBeane's history is wasting picks and moving up in the draft. Fortunately the only wasted picks they can use are day three picks. They will package the late round picks and probably try to get a higher 2020 pick. The only way they use ten picks is if 3 of them are PK, P, and LS. What picks did he waste? He does have that long history of one whole draft. Edited January 16, 2019 by formerlyofCtown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEN-CAL17 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 He is our new Groy. I still Think they bring back Mills and still sign a Jawaan James type FA. Sign a top FA center and Draft a 4th round OG. Focus in Skill Positions in the Draft. OLB, WR, TE first 3 picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 There is some value in a guy who can play all five offensive line positions. Typically it allows you to dress an extra guy at another position in game day. I'm fine with it. Hopefully he has an uphill battle to make the 53 becuase we add a bunch of good players.

Like a utility infielder. It's not an exciting signing, but that's clearly how they view Sirles. The important decisions are forthcoming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s the second best lineman on the team and would be an ideal “swing” tackle backup long term, IMO. Sirles certainly didn’t show enough to pencil in as the new starter or even the primary backup without proving it in camp first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirles certainly didn’t show enough to pencil in as the new starter or even the primary backup without proving it in camp first. If I'm the Bills I go after Daryl Williams as a starter at right tackle and add a guy like Josh Wells as the swing guy. Wells has played a good amount of left tackle over the years in Jacksonville. Mills as a backup is fine, but I'd worry about him as a swing guy if he actually had to go in a game as a left tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 On 1/16/2019 at 2:11 PM, Logic said: At times in 2018, the Bills carried as many as 10 offensive linemen on their 53 man roster. That's too many. Sirles provides depth at T, G, C, and can contribute as a 6th lineman in jumbo formations. I'm sure it was a cheap deal, is only for 1 year, and won't preclude them from upgrading the offensive line in free agency and the draft. Can he practice at LS too?
