YoloinOhio Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) He hasn’t played RT all season, so makes sense but if Williams were to get injured it looks like Nseckhe and Ford would not go back there What will be interesting is if he moves back to RG while Winters is hurt and Feliciano still out, and Spain back to LG. I think Spain played RG on Sunday when winters went out? Edited October 6, 2020 by YoloinOhio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was obvious he had a higher ceiling at Guard the entire time. What concerns me, is both the right tackle and right guard they want to keep in when healthy are free agents at the end of the year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to really like both and I can see them re-signing mongo, not sure he would be cost prohibitive. Williams is a different story. He might really get some cash on the open market if he stays healthy, at age 29. I think they could draft an OT. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they perform they get extended if they don't our GM with a track record of finding decent players at a decent price will get the void filled. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is you are likely playing with a lower cap next year, it may stay static or plunge as low as 180 million. Tackles are costly, and so far Williams has earned it. I trust Beane to make good decisions, but a lot of tough choices to make when Mongo, Williams, and Milano are all free agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The right side is a work in progress. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why they made the choice to re-up Spain but they did, so it is what it is. Some decent right tackle options in the draft like you said, so that may be the right way to go about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of draft picks to find player and they are cap friendly. Beane is pretty good at getting talent there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they keep him(Spain) one more year through 2021 releasing him as a pre June 1st cut would only cost 500,000 cap hit and save 4.75m https://overthecap.com/player/quinton-spain/4612/ Edited October 6, 2020 by JMF2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 He played Guard through High School, ranked 20th nationwide as a recruit, and college so it was inevitable they move him to Guard. It’s a much different position as you take several steps as a Tackle, but you’re first step matters as a Guard as those defenders are in you’re face. It’s a very different position. I’m glad and hope he is a locked up Guard for us for the next decade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d expect, more of his magic 8 ball stuff like .... it’s going to depend on situations, I’ll need to see the film, it will vary week to week based on match ups...

Coach Tuesday Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Better become a really good guard to justify that high pick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like he said, it would be detrimental to his development and the team to keep moving him. so wouldn’t sound appropriate to act like that was a possibility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look how easily they signed both of them plus others in the past two years that have been much more than salvageable. They could resign one or even both for a relatively cheap contract, if not find the next similar guy on the FA market and probably should draft one in the 2nd or 3rd round. There is always a number of Felicinao type's every year that hit free agency. The Bills i.e. Beane seem to know where to find them better than most.

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 He has a long way to go, he is such a big human being but doesn't appear to seek and destroy. He doesn't get a lot of push in the running game either and is kind of slow exploding out of his stance. He definitely looks like a RT playing guard.
