oldmanfan Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 When this new line coach came in he and Daboll must have concluded none of the returnees were worth squat.

I think that it is more of an indication that they don't plan on moving Dawkins to the inside. They already brought in Long, Feliciano and apparently are still interested in adding another guard. Makes me think they are less sold on Wyatt Teller more than anything. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCbillsfan Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I think Dawkins roster spot is safe. He's on a rookie deal. Might be fighting for his starting job though if they keep getting OL guys. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also brought in two tackles though. If they draft a T day 1or 2 Dawkins will have a very direct message sent. And if I'm Teller I wouldn't sign a long term rental on my condo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iamkrgr Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) Competition is a great thing in football. None of the guys brought in(Morse notwithstanding), or the ones already here deserve any certainty. Quinton Spain is a starter on this team in all likelihood. The competition for the other guard spot would be pretty fierce. We would also have depth in case of injury. Beane has clearly identified that our lack of depth/talent on OL was just not going to help in the development of Josh Allen.

Logic Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I have a feeling the Bills were interested in him from the get-go, but his asking price was too high. Now that free agency is progressed and he has seen that he doesn't have any suitors at his asking price, he is circling back to interested teams. I would love it if the Bills signed him. It would mean a likely starting trio of Spain, Morse, and Long, which would be great, and would allow Teller to learn from some vets for a year or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an article stating that Dawkins realized he had slacked off a bit last year, like a sophomore slump, and knows he must knuckle down this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be satisfied with knowing that 80% of our starting line consists of Dawkins, Spain, Morse, and Nsekhe. Gotta figure that competition between Teller, Long, Mongo, and Boettger for that RG spot would bring out the best in everyone. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2catch Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Absolutely a huge signing for us if they get him. This is shaping up to be a helluva battle in training camp and preseason for spots on that line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the message is pretty clear the O Line performance last season was not at an acceptable level so everyone needs to shape up or get ready to be shipped out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo1105 Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 I also have to think that the Bills are going to be looking to move one of these guys if/when they sign or draft another offensive lineman. You usually only dress 7 on gamedays and only tend to keep 8 on a roster. If you include Spain or a Draft pick our depth chart is pretty crowded to squeeze in those 7 or 8 guys. OT OG OC Dawkins Long Morse Nsekhe Feliciano Bodine Waddle Teller Boettger McDermott Ducasse Spain/Draft pick Obviously we expect Bodine, Ducasse, and McDermott to be let go but even so you have 9 guys. That means they might be looking to move Teller/or Boettger for a low round pick or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BubbaT Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) Even if they bring him in I'd still like them to draft a right guard high in the draft day 2 (or 1 if it's Cody Ford on a trade down). I really want someone that can anchor AND move. I think Lindstrom is the guy and he seems to be moving up in all the mock drafts I see. I'd spend draft capital to go get him. The rest of the guys they've brought in on make good deals and while a damn sight better than they had before, might not be a long term answer. If they beat out a draftee, that's fine. Competition is a good thing. Having a cost controlled O line w/ reasonably high round picks through the life of Allen's 1st contract and not "just a guy" kind of players is also a good thing.

ProcessAccepted Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Is there anyone out there who still believes that Beane doesn't have a plan?

TigerJ Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Are they going to end up cutting a guy they just signed? Spain will turn 28 shortly before the season starts.

But if they sign Spain, I can absolutely see a scenario where they end up cutting either Long or Feliciano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's pretty clear it's a competition I mean it sucks to be bought in and immediately leave but they're getting given a shot at making it and that's just how the NFL works.
