TroutDog Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I’m pleased about this. The entire situation seemed strange to me as he’s a solid member of the line and they need to put their best out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Round Bust Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 agree, coaches felt the line had some continuity-rhythm going after the Morse concussion and the press probed-wondered and the boards lit up about it...hoping we can get thru a game without a lineman getting hurt for a change...

The simple answer is often the correct one.......people look to parse words and make assumptions. Morse is one of the top 5 OL and should play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Dawkins-Boettger-Morse-Feliciano-Williams That's the best OL combination we have.

Ramza86 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Nice to have a deep line to be able to make it work...but these guys are all on similar levels. We need to get some clear cut good/great line in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaw66 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Would be interesting to know what the starting lineup would have been if Ford had been available, instead of down for the season. We were speculating earlier in the week about whether Feliciano was taking Morse's job. WIthout Ford, McDermott had little choice. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With McDermott saying Morse was "in the mix" and "putting the team first," it seemed like he was thinking Feliciano at center, with (I suppose) Ford and WInters at guard. If that was the case, he had to change his plans. You got to trust their judgment, but it sure looks from here that Morse at center and Feliciano/Boettger at guard is the better lineup. At least Boettger had two good games (NE and Seattle); Winters at his best has been mediocre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you were to believe that Feliciano is a better center than Morse, the difference isn't near the difference between Feliciano and Winters at RG. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyBills Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) This will be our best OL combination of the season. Need To get that run game going! Pass protection has been overall very good. Excited to see the line w/ Dawkins,Mongo,Morse,Williams and Winters or Ike. That's 4 quality guys imo and will only make Ike or Winters better. What a signing Williams was! Edited November 27, 2020 by JerseyBills 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jpsredemption Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I think they are very concerned about future of Morse. May look to FA/Draft hard for a long term C next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat68 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I feel like this and moving Ford to IR brings some clearity to Oline group. Obviously, they like Ford and seemed they were leaving a spot open for him to slide back into. Before the bye idk how back Mango really was. Center is a less demanding posistion physically than guard is. Morse being injured allowed for Feliciano to work his back in shape. Now play Morse at Center and plug Feliciano in either guard spot. I would pair him with Dawkins. Allens blindside and create a strong run blocking combo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickelCity Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 We all want boet instead of Winters. Do we think they'll actually do it? This coaching staff is sometimes painfully slow to do the obvious thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent watched the play of Winters to determine who is better. I take most oline reviews with grains of salt. I would solidify the left side of the line and ceate a area of strength to run behind. Im curious to see what combo they roll with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
