EC-Bills Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 For all the talk about getting OL in this draft (and I was one of them), and from looking at the roster page, we already have quite a few. Some of these players have been on the team for a couple years at least. Then throw in the fact we have Moose as our OL coach and these players have been under him for year plus the strength and conditioning program... Call me crazy (or whatever else comes to mind) but I think we may be okay with the people we have (I think Moose had less to work with in NY) Here's the list: C ---- 70 Teague, Trey C 6-5 300 30 7 Tennessee OG ----- 50 Bannan, Justin G 6-3 305 26 3 Colorado 60 Esposito, Jasen G 6-4 305 23 1 Kutztown 64 Sobieski, Ben G 6-5 315 25 1 Iowa 65 Tucker, Ross G 6-4 316 26 4 Princeton 58 Villarrial, Chris G 6-3 318 31 9 Indiana(Pa) OT ---- 69 Gandy, Mike OL 6-4 310 26 4 Notre Dame 66 Anderson, Bennie OL 6-5 345 28 4 Tennessee State -- Preston, Duke OL 6-5 311 22 R Illinois 74 Pruce, David OT 6-8 328 26 1 Buffalo 71 Peters, Jason OT 6-4 328 23 R Arkansas 79 McFarland, Dylan OT 6-5 290 24 R Montana 68 Williams, Mike OT 6-6 360 25 3 Texas 72 Smith, Lawrence OT 6-3 295 25 1 Tennessee State Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always a little odd when you're relying on something other than talent for success. It's a roster full of backups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch19079 Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 look at the starters C: teague... ok OT: Williams...ok OT: ?? OG: Vilarrial... ok OG: ?? L. Smith, maybe??? 2 spots that dont have starters. no trade for an OT no clear starer at OG. just cus we have "a lot of players" does not mean we have enouph STARTERS.

The one who started on the Ravens O-Line for the past 3 years? The one who TD said was our starting LG? I hear he is pretty good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a roster full of backups. 316718[/snapback] You know that how?!? It usually takes 3 years for a lineman to develop and throw in the fact we have our first real line coach in ages. I think we'll get more from the people who have been in the system for year than some new draftee. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Pockets Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Good Lord. Did some folks just read the Bills news for the first time in 3 months ? We signed Bennie Anderson to start at LG . 6-5 and 345 . He starts. Teague moves to LT. Tucker, who filled in at Center quite well, takes over as the Starting Center Chris V. at RG Mike Williams at RT. A raw but more mobile QB and MaGahee opens the year as the starter. Works for me.
