Yeah, that's probably my biggest issue with how this team is coming together.

You add a quality RT to this group and it suddenly makes you better at multiple positions up front.

 

Then go shopping down the TE aisle to pick up a legitimate NFL starter and you're ready to get cookin.

 

 

Don't sleep on Darryl Williams.  If healthy he could be our guy at RT.  Beane isn't signing guys just to give them Wings and Fries at Duffs.  There is a method to everything he does.

football prodigy - had a verbal offer from Missouri when in 8th grade after just a year of organized football

 

soccer guy + wrestling guy - nice leverage and footwork

 

appears to have been a decent backup so far ... filling in well for Ryan Kelley of the Colts

 

another nice article

his oline coach at indy brought him to miami - clearly there was string he liked

 

bottomline - might be an underrated signing. at worst he shd make the PS

 

Interesting guy. That OL coach is no longer with Miami which explains why he probably isn't either.  It sounds like he's got a good shot to push for the backup C/G.  Good camp battle. 

 As stated he played with Morse at Missouri, then took over C after Morse left.  Another college teammate, McGovern was signed by the Jets in FA this year to start at C, after playing C for the Broncos. McGovern played OT in college.  If he makes the Bills, there will be a lot of jersey swapping when they play the Jets...

Geez.  Can’t see a rookie OL making the roster.  Think you can cross off OL in the first 5 rounds of the draft.  

We need a better right tackle and it wouldn't hurt to upgrade one of the guard spots.

Played for Bobby Johnson Bills O line coach when Johnson was Asst O line coach in Indy. Also played with Morse at Mizzou so two connections. 

 

The Bobby Johnson connection is probably why they signed him but remember we picked a WR from Carolina college because his coach was now WR coach for Bills and that did not work out.

True, but Bobby Johnson was also integral in bringing Jon "Mongo" Feliciano in; they were on the Raiders together 2015-17. That turned out pretty well. I love the guy's intensity and attitude.

Boehm was a pretty highly touted high school player, started 52 games at Mizzou and hasn’t seemed to find his footing in the league. Bounced around some but looked like he might have found a home in Indy until both O-line coaches left, then he was running with the 3rd string. Its good depth, insurance, and competition and you get a natural center to back up Morse, who he can play guard as well. I like it.
