billsfan89 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I still think Dawkins is a decent LT this season. Last year and in other years he has been better but I still think he has mostly held down the fort. Brown should play out the season at RT as there is a more glaring need there.

Doc Brown Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Dawkins has had three bad games and the rest have been pretty good. Let's not overreact here. It may ruin this boards reputation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeaneBandit Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I'm open to Dawkins staying at LT or bumping inside if the right prospect fell into the Bills laps. For those claiming Dion would be making too much for a guard....NOT TRUE. The Bills would have to pay a guard more than him in free agency if they want a good one so however the line is fixed it really doesn't matter.

Now im all for Drafting his college teamate that acually plays LT starting him at guard until he is ready. 16 hours ago, FarrellsFinest said: Trevor Penning, 6'7 340 great athlete just like brown. But his natural spot is on the left side. He may be a first rounder. But i think we can get him at the end of the first. Our oline instantly becomes a strong point! 13 hours ago, TheBeaneBandit said: I like it a lot! We would have 2 tackles on rookie deals where we could overpay if need be to strengthen the interior.

Whether due to Covid or another reason he looks like he is really struggling and is causing big problems for Allen. I understand that left tackle takes a special akill set and is different than right tackle but could we do any worse with Brown at left tackle? we don’t have many options at this point but Dawkins really seems to have become a liability. Do you really want to move a rookie RT to LT this late in the season? What happens at RT, leave Williams there?!? Dawkins sits?!? That would not be the best 5 o line men. To answer your question, yes we can and would do a lot worse with Brown at LT. He was brought in to shore up the RT spot and he has. Some of you need to take the time to watch the game again. Dawkins wasn't as bad as some make him out to be. Terrible idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNYfan Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Brandon Beene called Spencer "the swing tackle" after the draft. I think Spencer has exceeded expectations. I agree that now is not the time to make the change. I disagree that D Dawk "wasn't [that] bad". His body looks terrible and struggled mightily against a backup on Thanksgiving. I think that in the Off Season the staff should look at SB at LT and D Dawk at either RT or LG. Not commit, but see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quincy Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Given the replies, its seems to be wise to keep Brown at RT when he returns. Cody Ford looked somewhat improved in the last game at RG. Ike had one very good play at LG and difficulties throughout the game. Who is the best LG going forward? Assuming Dawkins-?-Morse-Williams-Brown are the best in their four positions. Feliciano/Ike/Ford? Is Ford RG only? Williams is RG/RT only, I think he won't be here next year given that he has ceded his primary position to a 3rd round rookie. In a way I wouldn't be shocked if the Bills try a Ford/Brown right side of the line at some point this year or if there are injuries.

But I think we are past the time for experiments. Should have tried it after the bye week if anytime at all. I think Fords best position would be at RG if he stays as a starter. If we keep Dawkins, Morse and Williams (RG) and Brown at RT. I'd say Feliciano would be best at LG, but I could be talked out of it.😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I still say try Ford at LG, with Brown at RT and Williams at RG. Not necessarily against the Cheaters though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will never happen. Even Ford being an underachieving player is still on the field. 8 hours ago, LyndonvilleBill said: I'd like to try Dawkins, Williams, Morse, Ford, Brown.

He would still be our starter LOL Peters is a better OT than Dawkins is right now. I think an almost 40 Peters moves, blocks and pulls better than a young Dawkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was just out there looking for a chance to play for someone this summer. I'm not a big sentimentality guy.......I root for the laundry mostly.......but would have been cool for him to finish his pro career where it started. But the way he's playing this year the Bears will probably offer him a 2 year deal with the intention for him to be their starter for that period. He's been their best lineman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
