Inigo Montoya Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 (edited) Another solid off season move by Beane that is without the bells and whistles the national media will notice or comment upon, but is the kind of move that makes a franchise successful over time.

MiltonWaddams Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 17 minutes ago, ScottLaw said: He may not be a back up.... I share this opinion. Ford may or may not work out as a starting guard. Based upon the first two games, other wise known as his only two games, of the season, he was really not as strong as Ike. The line play improved in protection when Ike began to start. It didn’t seem to either negatively or positively affect the run game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Beane says in his postseason presser that you can't solely blame the RBs for the rush game problems, but then proceeds to re-sign the entire o-line. Yeah, he knows the RBs were the problem. And I expect him to upgrade the position. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not betting against Feliciano at center, Morse is always good for a week(s) injured here or there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok fair enough... I don’t hate the guy but like I said , I would classify him as at best average... although agree that the position flexibility is a bonus....

Utah John Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Beane did the same thing a couple of years ago. He loaded up on good O line players, then winnowed down by trading some of them during training camp to teams desperate for help at the position. He used a lot of that draft capital quite well. Unfortunately one of the guys he traded away was Wyatt Teller, who's become an all-pro with the Browns. It would sure be nice to have him back. I think the odds are that Cody Ford gets traded away this summer. He just isn't dominating the way he was expected to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Round Bust Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 PFF rating has him ranked 36 out 80 for Gs....Browns have # 1 C (Trotter) and former Bill...# 2 G (Teller) who is #1 run blocker...safe to say I wouldnt mind an IOL taken with the second rounder this year...7M in savings to cut Morse to pay Josh and possibly upgrade the position with run blocking improvement instead of wasting on a RB with pick 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why the Bills should not waste a 1st or 2nd round pick on an Offensive Lineman. It would not shock me to see Lamp take one of these OG spots......he is a starting caliber talent player. In my opinion unless a obvious upgrade presents itself in the draft we might not even take a OG. This team needs to upgrade its secondary and pass rush 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 With Ike officially back in the fold this team runs 7 deep with starting caliber or high end backup caliber players. Dawkins-Ford/Ike-Mitch-Mongo-D.Williams and Bates are a pretty good 7 at the O-line, would love to see some more depth/developmental players brought in via the draft particularly at tackle but love to see Ike back in the fold for at least one more season.

The Swing tackle ( Bates?) concerns me and I wouldnt mind them drafting someone to compete here... Also, I like Humphrey as a long term C option and to allow them to move on from Morse after this year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t call him above average. I think he’s average at best to below average when he’s not his best. until I can see our run game open some holes and block the KC pash rush, they’ll be meh to me. The OL did a great job pass blocking last year. Feliciano didn’t. Boettger was meh. Allen was god and makes them look better than they are at times. I wouldn’t consider either of our guards to be quality starters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a make or break year for Ford. Ike is a solid backup and gets the most out of what he has to work with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
