GunnerBill Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I actually think he played even better at C than at G. I am not certain he isn't the best performing C on our roster right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 That's really impressive. Hopefully if he keeps it up, we extend his 2 year deal. Now if only the tackles could stop sucking. Just imagine how crazy good this line could be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustWinPlease Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Cody Ford was a waste of a pick, should've taken a WR...lock up Spain and Feliciano, trade Ford and draft a real RT. Ford can't play RT and there's no need for him at OG either...I'd take AJ Brown, JJ Whiteside or DK Metcalf over him in a heartbeat. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what we’ll see is a bunch of heavily front loaded extensions signed, even if they aren’t hitting free agency. Use up most of next year’s cap to allow wiggle room for when we need to sign Allen, which will likely happen in 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo Montoya Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) Spain has had some issues this year. I think the Bills need to rotate Ford with Spain at RG and see if Ford can play well on the left side and just let Feliciano and Nsehke hold down the right side of the line. I think that's our best line combination. 40 minutes ago, JustWinPlease said: Cody Ford was a waste of a pick, should've taken a WR...lock up Spain and Feliciano, trade Ford and draft a real RT. Ford can't play RT and there's no need for him at OG either...I'd take AJ Brown, JJ Whiteside or DK Metcalf over him in a heartbeat. I'd respectfully disagree JWP. Ford may not develop into a starting NFL tackle, but he seems to have the chops to be a fantastic NFL guard for the next twelve years. I'm sure Beane had high hopes about our O-Line free agent pick ups but he had no way to know how they were going to work out. For a team that had no O-Line at all last year, I think Ford was a second round pick well spent. Just look to the Titan's game to see the value of depth on the O-Line. We don't win that game without the second and even third string O-Linemen (Feliciano, Long, Bates) coming into the game and playing solid football. The entire right side of the line came off the bench and there was no drop off in play. Edited October 15, 2019 by Inigo Montoya 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 It's weird to me how many people think Spain is playing poorly this year. He's not. He has struggled AT TIMES, as all offensive linemen do, but his positive contributions far outweigh his negative moments. Cover 1 just posted a bunch of clips of him on Twitter. He's an absolute load in the run game, he handles twists and stunts very well, he's a leader in the locker room, and he brings size and attitude that the coaches like. Sometimes I feel like people want a Pro Bowler at every position. Spain is more than adequate at LG. I also don't think the coaching staff has given up on Cody Ford playing right tackle. They must feel that he is progressing at that position. Either that or they don't feel that Nsekhe can hold up there full time, health-wise. In any event. I feel that the Bills have 3/5 of the line solved long term: Dawkins (another one that people are more down on than me this season. He is having a career year), Morse, and Feliciano. Now they just need to decide whether Spain factors into the long term equation. If he doesn't, I'm fine with trying out Spencer Long or Cody Ford at LG. A tackle needs to be drafted or signed this offseason, it appears. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blank Stare Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Infuriating to me how inadequate we’ve been at RT for years. All indications are that Ford is a guard. I like Nsekhe at tackle but he’s old and been banged up since training camp and I don’t know if he’ll ever be healed enough this season to take every snap at RT. Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he has a procedure at the end of the season. Something not right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A tackle needs to be drafted or signed this offseason, it appears. Fair points. Spain is on a one year prove it deal and is going to cost some coin to resign at the end of the year. If Ford can play well at LG, we can slot him in there and he will be cost effective playing on his rookie contract, and the O-Line will still have great depth with Nsekhe, Long, Bates, and Feliciano vying for playing time at the two positions on the right side of the line. Just a thought. One thing is certain, in one year we have gone from having arguably the worst O-Line in the NFL, to an embarrassment of riches on our O-Line. Successful football starts in the trenches. Kudos to Beane, McDermott, and Bobby Johnson for putting us in this position.
