BuffaloBillsGospel2014 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 It's an Oline move but I'm wondering if this is just a small step up from Saffold or a large 1. It's an upside/potential player who was a backup in Dallas his whole time there until he came in for injuries. I hope this isn't the last move they make towards the OL in FA but I'm glad they're addressing our weakest area of need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They “base their contract off of pff”?

BillsShredder83 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 2 hours ago, Success said: I don't think they should move on from Brown yet. He has so much potential, and he has played well at times. I would guess their thinking is let's see how he does with a full offseason & no injury to deal with. I think the line you post there is very solid, but I do expect them to draft a guard in one of the 1st couple of rounds (maybe a tackle to compete w/ Brown, who they feel could convert if Brown plays well). would love to now see another early OL, and see brown (healthy), play to the potential we saw when we drafted him. good drafts dont mean chitt without player development. we need one or more of our wildcard OL to make a healthy step up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Summary Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 It's a good start. Would like for once the Bills to prioritize dominance over versatility on the OL. Was 2009 Incognito the last time we had dominance at guard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 1 hour ago, RG Murdock said: According to WhoScored and PFF McGovern is a middling pass blocker (Ranked 17th) and a pretty bad run blocker (Rated 31st).. Nothing to get excited about. Meanwhile, Edmonds to the Bears for 4 years $95M.. $50M guaranteed..... I guess too expensive for the Bills? There are 64 starting guards in NFL. 17th and 31 is well above average, and much better than the tomato can G Saffold 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he not a huge liability? Are we not upgrading the RT spot? i think it all depends on how the draft falls. if we get a chance to draft a serious prospect, i dont think you pass it up because we have spencer brown. would much rather have one too many starters (hopefully), than roll the dice and end up wasting another year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Lightning Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Well, it certainly feels like a vintage Beane midling OL signing. I was hoping our Oline could get us a yard or 2 on 3rd and short. This guy looks like he he has less of a push than Morse. So much for a stud IOL. Still going to be a finesse team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Bills fans should wait at least until camp to trash him. LOL. His PFF numbers in 2021 were better btw. His 2021 number was 69 so we'll see what we're getting. And for those of you that are skeptical of all PFF, give me a better alternative. I'll use it immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
