Kirby Jackson Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 All joking aside, I think that Mills is decent tackle depth. I always thought that he was a little better than he got credit for. I’m not saying that he was good but he was okay in the running game anyways. He’s an NFL player. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskibreth Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 He was a NFL starter for several seasons. I'm sure he's got enough "good" tape out there that he'll get a job somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I agree, he was OK. I think the Bills want better than OK, It is going to be interesting having two new tackles in Nsekhi and Waddle. Neither is an established starter in the NFL, but both have some starting experience, and by all accounts performed pretty well when they did have the opportunity to start. It appears Breandon Beane thinks both are better than Mills. We'll see if he's right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 22 minutes ago, John from Riverside said: No he was not Gunner What is your opinion on Ty? I'm not as big of a fan as Blokes put it that way. I think he is probably a moderate upgrade on Mills if he plays as well on the right as the left but to me he is a below average starter / high end backup. I'd still be wanting them to draft a developmental tackle somewhere in day 2 or early day 3 with the idea of that guy pushing Ty for the job by the season's end. The alternative is they have decided Dawkins is not their franchise left tackle, intend to pencil him in at LG and Ty is seen as a placeholder until such time as a franchise LT becomes available to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddyjj Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Mills became starter by default given Seantrel's suspensions and injuries. Then Dawkins drafted to be RT but Cordy couldn't go so Mills stays on as starter for 2 more years. Seemed to be a good team mate and person. Some team will get use out of him as spot starter and possible Swing Tackle. Wish him nothing but the best in his future endeavors 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark92 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 It just goes to show you how valuable O linemen with starting experience are. Seems like it takes a couple years for them to come in to the league and start unless they are studs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

947 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Mills would actually be an upgrade for the Texans, good for him. They'll surely draft a few OL, but he has a chance to start there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Landing Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Weirdly, I'm a little nervous about Mills leaving. I don't see McD moving Nsekhe from the left side. Sirles is terrible. So, who is a better RT: Waddle, McDermott, or Mills? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rock solid C can cover for mediocre G play and great G play can compensate for mediocre T play (in some cases). The point is, it’s how do they gel? If they gel well, they’re good.

Nah man, I knew exactly who he was. Started a bunch of games over the years, and he did a nice job in his time with the Lions. Mills has proven to be a turnstile and McDermott hasn't done anything. So out of those three, Waddle is certainly the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
