Bills activate Johnotthan Harrison

[BubbaT]

Per Chris Brown and others: The #Bills Elevated OL Jonotthan Harrison from the practice squad for Saturday's game at Denver.

 

I have no understanding as to why but have to think he was about to get poached perhaps

They wanted to show they love someone no matter how poorly their parents did in school with spelling?

[msw2112]

Did they have an available roster spot?  Obviously, they either did, or they created one.

The Bills have protected him on the practice squad several times already this year. There is something about him they like.

[msw2112]

Both Feliciano and Morse have had to come out of games recently due to injury and Spain is long gone from the roster, so perhaps they wanted another depth interior lineman available.  I say this after reading the post about Harrison's history (noting that he started 10 games at center last year).

[Logic]

I wonder if it has to do with the likelihood that one or more offensive lineman may struggle with the altitude in Denver.

[SageAgainstTheMachine]

If this has even a small chance of lowering Winters' snaps I love it.

Particularly Morse.  Between injury and weak play, the Bills may want Morse out of there, and they think Harrison and Feliano at guard is better than Felicuano and Winters at guard. Winters hasn't exactly gotten rave reviews. 

 

When will Bates be more than potential?

Has Morse been playing bad? This isn’t an argumentative question, I havent paid much attention to the center position.

I think Boettgher is much better then Winters.  Next season I would be fine with Beottgher and Ford at the guard positions.  With Feliciano at Center.  Cut Morse-save that fat contract and use it towards resigning Milano and Darryl Williams.  And we can always draft another interior lineman for depth and competition.  And of course there is Ryan Bates too.

It could be that he's played well in practice and they want to see if he's worth keeping around next year at a value price (as opposed to Williams / Feliciano who will probably get paid.)

He's been injured, for one. I thi k he also has been getting overpowered I. Pass protection. I've never thought he was a solid anchor there.

He’s not a heavy center, he’s always been a move guy, with the ability to get into space. If he’s healthy I still want him as my C1.

Boy it would be great to have Wyatt Teller back.  I think trading him for peanuts was one of McBeane's mistakes (not that he's made that many, but no one is perfect).

He was the weak link on Sunday. That said, Cam Heyward is one hell of a player.

They need to re-sign Feliciano too.

The main thing is to get the pronunciation correct.

Carrot Alien would be safe.  Morlocks' mothers always had to yell at their young ones to "Eat your carrots!"  The little Morlocks never did.

Would it be great?  Would you have played him last year over Mongo and Spain to give him the needed playing time to develop?  He was ranked as one of the worst guards last year, but Cleveland played him and took the losses.  Would you have been ok losing more games and not making the playoffs last year to maybe develop a guard?

 

The issue is that people think the Teller of this year would be the Teller the Bills developed if he stayed and I don’t think so.  Beane recognized he had talent and said as much, but he was their 4th best guard last year in pre season and had no position flexibility- so Beane recognized he was not making the roster and could get a return.

 

Cleveland made the deal and played him a lot last year and worked through the struggles and then brought in a run first HC and a run heavy plan that plays into his strengths.  I don’t think for a second he would be anywhere near the same player on the Bills with a pass first attack leading to a more passive OL set-up - as that is still what he struggles with.  If teams know the Browns are passing and they attack the o-line - Teller is a different player - he is not a dominant pass blocker in definitive passing situations.

 

Beane has made a several mistakes - Teller at the time of the trade was a needed move or the Bills were cutting him for nothing.  He (and Ike his replacement once they got him back from the Chiefs) are examples of why the PS is needed to give guys time to develop.  The Bills knew both of those players had potential, but neither were ready last year and needed time and last year for the Bills was not a growth year where we could experiment and let the o-line in front of Josh struggle.  They had expectations of making the playoffs.  The difference between Ike and Teller - was Ike worked on position flexibility- he learned center in case it was needed - Teller is/was and will continue to be a guard only.  That is not what the Bills want in a back-up o-line.

Might not be a bad idea....although I’m still worried about Ford.   We certainly haven’t missed him

He dislocated his elbow during the game last week. They braced it up and he got back in the game but it's not fun. Having a backup center you can put in without moving all the guards is probably a good thing.

I think he was the Jets backup center or former starter. If I recall correctly the Jets fans didn’t want to see him go.
