What’s the plan to replace Bates today? Van Roten? I’m not sure how I feel about that. I feel like Hart has some potential. I almost wish they’d try him at RT and kick Brown inside to replace Bates. Our Oline has been shaky at best. I’d be willing to shake it up a bit to see if we can’t find lightning in a bottle.

I never thought I would ever type this, but Hart actually looked decent playing inside in the preseason. And, to his credit, he has a nasty streak that might be just the thing we need for the sleazeball Wilkins?

He’s definitely nowhere near as bad as people made him out to be. And he’s really big and physical. I don’t think he plays inside but if they told us he’s going to jump in and replace Bates to bring a physical presence inside….I’m all good with the risk.

I think Boettger is eligible to come back and his deadline to do so is tomorrow I believe.  He was ahead of Bates in the pecking order last year before the injury.  Remains to be seen if he’s healthy enough to play but I have my fingers crossed.

That's a thought. Brown has been a liability in pass protection outside. Maybe he'd do better with someone on either side of him. But Quessenberry on the outside isn't much better.

How dare you talk about Quessenberry like that, he’s a warrior and stuff-even though he played terrible! Maybe it’s time the Bills bring back Feliciano because he has a “mean streak” (aka sucks but he’s a d**k to the other team)

No.  You do not wish to see Bates at T

 

Edit to add context:  Bates says he can play all 5 positions across the OL, and mentally, I'm sure he can.  But he has relatively short arms which put him at a disadvantage playing OT, and he doesn't have the foot quickness to overcome that handicap.  When he's been put out there, it hasn't been good.
