He’s an above average player, I’m no pff analyst or huge film watcher but he seemed to have some issues in pass protection but seemed to excel in the run game. I considered him and Ford our weak links in pass pro. As much of a beating as Ford took for getting beat I always wondered why Spain didn’t catch some of the same. But I could of course be wrong I didn’t replay enough stuff to verify At the end of the season, there was a quote from Morse about how important Spain was.

JoeF Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Over the Cap had Spain's valuation at $7.16M per season. Gotta like the deal and his desire to stay in Buffalo. Another sign that this culture and process stuff has benefits. 19 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 3 years 15 million is a good deal for the Bills, not bad for Spain either who never had a big contract but a very good value for the Bills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBeane drafted him (and traded up for him) and I think that they are rolling with Ford at RT with Ty as the backup plan in case he struggles. I think people here are underestimating Ford as he played a lot better to end the season. Give him another off-season to work out the kinks in his technique and work with his teammates he is now familiar with and I think he surprises you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can. I bet our season ends the same way. RT is a mess. If you guys think ford can do it, good for you. I have no confidence in him being a GOOD RT next season. Allen needs one. We should get him one. Nsekhe was better but I have no confidence in him being our RT all year and in the playoffs. I’d part ways with Ty, get a good RT and let Ford battle with everyone for a spot. He doesn’t deserve to be our starting RT next year imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Looks like a great deal for the Bills. He was very solid, and it's fantastic that we may have the same two decent quality guys playing next to each other on the left side for 2-3-4 straight years. Good job, Beane. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the plan was always to give him at least two seasons at tackle. I think with another off season to focus at tackle, Ford is going to look really good. having said that, glad to have Spain back! Big signing for the right price.

I'm am highly confident that is not how Beane/McD are thinking about the issue. I get the inclination to want to kick Ford inside and bring in a RT. But I think McBeane deserves the benefit of the doubt with Ford. Granted he was up and down his rookie year but played better deeper into the season (which is usually a sign of a player working out the kinks) so I think people are really nervous about Ford despite not taking into account the balance of his season and the regime that drafted him. With Spain back in the fold I think they are going with the idea that the O-line last year ranged from average to above average and two things will help push their level of play up, and that is continuity and Ford improving/developing. Just now, Happy Gilmore said: Cool. Now get a RT to compete with Ford. Don't they have Ty? I would love to see them resign Waddle if his medicals are good. Ty and Waddle would give some quality options behind Ford and Dawkins (as both can play both sides.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBuff423 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Spain didn’t allow a sack and while that’s good - even better, it doesn’t prohibit the Bills from going hard on another Offensive Lineman or Drafting one. We all saw how important good depth was to make an important stride last year, Spain, Long, current starters and STILL able to sign / trade / Draft one only makes this team better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
