Yeah but left tackle (oddly they didn't play him at RT where he was 2nd team All-Pro 2 seasons before). It's possible both the injury lingering and a position switch made him struggle so playing him at RG (keeping him on the same side would make the most sense) is a possibility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he was at guard in that first clip from Yolo - lost track of 65 on that play. Was thinking we have ourselves a rock-star swiss-army knife for our offensive line. Swing tackle that can do that kind of stuff on the inside, but still love what I think this kid can bring to our line. We need that kind of punch and finish. I did the exact same thing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct on his final year at Carolina. He played LT and both guard spots and struggled. I think Williams in to RG and Brown in at RT is the kind of move you make only if you are accepting that both Ford and Ike are not good enough. It is kind of the "break glass in case of emergency" move. They won't make it pre-bye. But if KC and Tenn shows up the line I could see them doing it for the week 8 game against the Dolphins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, but I don't know if it gets to that with Ike. He hasn't been too bad. Edited October 2, 2021 by Sheneneh Jenkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boettger should be starting he isn’t a great run blocker but he’s 50x the pass blocker Ford is. The thing is Ford is a high draft pick who got hurt and the Bills wanna see if he can be what they drafted before trading him which will eventually happen.
