MJS Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Sometimes players go to different teams and perform better. Just like sometimes players come to OUR team and perform better. There are many, many factors to contribute to this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He started 8 games with us, knew the offense, and then had all off season to make the team- let alone keep his job. He got beat out by Ike Boetger.

Pufnstuf is the best current example of that. Best pass-catching TE we have, but he's inactive every week. Teller was just one of those guys. Could you potentially mean guys who don’t play well? Seems like that’s what you mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvlevydraftdaygenius Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I think that was because he did not fit juan Castillo's system. Man look at how bad of a hire he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I like guards like Teller that just maul people off the snap and just destroy people when they pull on sweeps and screens. He is a solid pass blocker but his run blocking is at elite levels now, maybe even the best in the NFL. It’s times like this were I wish I had a time machine. 46 minutes ago, Marvlevydraftdaygenius said: I think that was because he did not fit juan Castillo's system. Man look at how bad of a hire he was. So true, I bet if we had our current OL coach he would still be here. Castillo is doing another wonderful job with the Bears OL. I wanted Castillo fired almost as soon as he signed here. I cannot express how happy I am that he is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I was always a fan of Teller and didnt like it when we traded him.......imagine a OL that had Telle and Mongo at the OG positions? but This is the way it goes in the NFL.....

Decent player, but Cleve's line stinks in pass protecting, including Teller. Exactly this is one perspective on player grading used and promoted by NBC as gospel. Seems to be a bit uneven as to its accuracy. Certainly Teller can run block. Is he an all pro ? Not sure. For whatever reason likely what Bills do vs Browns he has excelled. Callahan is a legend OL coach. Good for Teller! Bills can’t keep every good player. Edited January 19, 2021 by QLBillsFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearNorth Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) I saw Ali Marpet is the LG for Tampa, from NY, went to D-3 Hobart in the Bills territory. How did we miss him? Stud. Did we have anyone scouting NY State then? We drafted Ronald Darby instead of him. 2015 SMH. Edited January 19, 2021 by BearNorth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I think they just liked Ike Boettger better...or perhaps they had them neck and neck and were offered a pick for Teller. Now should we have kept Teller over Spencer Long? Yes obviously. But they wanted back ups to have versatility and that is why guys with position flexibility like Long and Ryan Bates were kept over Teller. But they obviously really liked Boettger and you really can’t argue with his play. If you really want to feel better, the 6th round pick they got from Cleveland turned into Bass. The 5th rounder was part of the ammo to get Diggs. So yeah. Im okay with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have hated to see either Boettger or Teller dealt. The bad decision to draft Cody Ford ultimately forced the choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is Kroft, I don't think he's in McD's doghouse ... he simply has been outcompeted by a younger/stronger version of himself in Knox, and when they want to go blocking first he can't compete with Smith and Gilliam. Kroft performed fine when he got a chance, and I've seen him cheerleading on the sidelines. He's the offensive Trent Murphy. (I would be jumping up and down too if I were making that kind of money for that little work.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 What you learn from being Castillo’ed is what happen to you will happen to someone else. We should be scouting a few of the Bears O-Line that are under performing but were a lot better in college or on other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
