Bills re-sign OT Quessenberry

[msw2112]

I have no issue with signing an experienced veteran OL to a free agent contract to compete for a backup spot.  If he is the LAST addition to the OL that they make, then, yes, I'll be disappointed.  We're only 1 week into free agency and the draft hasn't taken place yet.  The sky is not falling.

[John from Riverside]

I expected us to resign Q
 

Can be both the guard on the tackle positions

 

As a back up, you can do worse

This is McDermott’s team 100%. He has given Beane more and more power every year but it’s McDermott running the show.

Well if he doesn't realize the offense needs more help than the defense, he's gonna have a hard time winning the big one.

Funny how we now hate last years preseason roster that was Super Bowl favorites. What changed?

Nothing is changed, except in the fans minds

 

We were projected to win the Super Bowl last year and didn’t and they can’t get off it

 

It’s still a very good roster

Don't care what you believe, man. i wanted to see how he'd perform, and he did. Unlike lil' Ed.

Oliver stinks.

 

Re drafted and he’s a 4th rounder at best.

You dang right it is.

 

Brandon Beane is the money man. That’s it.

 

McClappy is obsessed with defense. A lousy one at that. Stats very very deceiving. Horrible division past 3 years with horrible quarterbacking skewed it along with his record being propped up by Allen.

 

How he repays Josh Allen? Let’s sign some backup special teamers to prep the fanbase for defense in rounds 1 and 2.

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Swing OT.

Still draft an OT

Good bye Doyle

[papazoid]

i only remember him trying to play injured last season

 

on a positive note, after the 2021 season with ten....analytics pff said he was elite in the run game....5th best OT

[Big Blitz]

Can Spencer Brown play Guard?

 

There are going to be some good OTs at 27 - ones that play LT can RT and be a legit backup to Dawkins if they have to swing from RT to LT.  

[turftoe]

I'm really beginning to question Beane's ability to judge OL talent. Josh Allen needs that extra tic to make his reads and deliver the ball. When he has it, he is almost unstoppable. When he doesn't have it, he can be an awful turnover machine. Quessenberry was a liability. I hope he's back to compete for depth only.

Good re-signing. A capable swing tackle.

Multiple posters will no doubt flock to this post, complaining that the Bills didn't do better. 

In truth, how much did anyone really expect a cap-strapped team that is forced to work the fringes of free agency to spend on a third tackle? 

And yes, this likely means they're committed to giving Spencer Brown the chance to lock down the RT spot for good this season, but anyone who listened to Beane's recent presser already knew that.

 

I am really sickened by your post.  Big mistake just committing to Spencer Brown.  We can only hope they can coach the kid up.  Because he has sucked.  And is usually injured.  I don't know what to say about Quissenberry.  He plays like he is stuck in quicksand.

He will not. They will draft an OT to push Brown and or replace Dawkins next year.

Everything changed. They struggled all year despite the stats and got blown out at home in the playoffs.

What hasn't changed is the HC.

Who said they were committed to him starting? They are committed to giving him a chance. Its not as if he hasn't had some good moments.  

They will draft another OT to replace Brown this year or Dawkins next.

Wouldn't be a bad thing. Hart would be cheap and he was very good when they had packages that required an extra blocker.

Why are Bills fans so down on the team? I’m not understanding.

Because we clearly were not good enough last year. And so far none of the moves make us better. They have been moves that fill out the roster, but not take it up a notch. The McG at G move is the only upgrade thus far. I care less about RB but we need another threat to go along with Diggs and a RT.

It’s still a very good roster

Key players are a year older, and coming off of major injuries, Miller, Hyde .  And Tre White did not perform at expected levels.   Due to these 3 players, the roster is no where near as solid as the roster before the 2022 season started.

I think Q’s signing means no OT in FA to challenge Brown. That’s the disappointing thing because I think Q is a good depth piece. Maybe we get an OT in the draft somewhere. 

What FA tackles are out there ?

Still haven’t addressed the middle linebacker position, so that’s probably going to be a priority in the draft
 

But still, I looked for them to draft competition for brown very high as they should that’s where we should be getting our lineman

Few and far between.  Like the 5 penalty game against maybe the Falcons or Panthers in 2021?  LOL  And Dawkins got the 3 holding penalties in one game also.  Is Jason Peters still upright?  

 

I hope to God you are correct that they draft a big time OT this year.  I can not remember the last one we even had..  Maybe Cordy Glenn, when he was not injured.  John Fina?  Will Woolford and Howard Ballard?

The pool of OTs is drying up, but there are still a few decent options out there. I wasn’t looking for a world beater, just a guy who could push Brown and be a quality swing tackle at minimum. A solid vet or a developing player with upside would’ve been what I was looking for. Again, this speaks more to me wanting legit competition for Brown. Ques is a good backup option.

I mean, the line clearly needs to be better. I don’t think anybody is not saying that the Bengals rushing three and still getting to Josh Allen still is in our brains

It should be the main focus for improvement this off season..  Im not sure thats been the case on what we have seen so far, but I'll reserve final judgement until the off season is complete...

 

Beane can surprise so Im hoping he has a move or two left...

[blacklabel]

I, like many others here, have never played a snap of professional football in my life. 

 

However, like many others here, does that deter me from providing my expert analysis on David Quessenberry?!

 

It sure doesn't! 

 

I must be inclined to agree with the others. This fella...oooh, you don't want him seeing an NFL field. I know stuff! I also know things. Stuff and things together means I'm a GD expert. 

 

What a bust! Beane you colossal butt-mongrel, you're doing this to personally irritate me aren't you? I knew it. 

[Maine-iac]

Call me crazy but maybe if we ran the ball a little more the OL would look a little better in pass pro.  If the D knows you do nothing but pass they just key in on the snap and race to the QB.  We never give them a reason to do anything else.  Quessenberry of all people would also love it if we ran the ball more.

Your probably right. They still have Ryan Van Demark OT from Conn who had a lot of pre draft buzz listed on the roster but apparently didn't show much during camp. They also have Alex Anderson from UCLA who was called up for 1 or 2 games (not sure if he actually played) Seems like I've been waiting forever for a PS lineman to develop & make the team.

yes

 Hoping for a gem , while scrounging in the back yard digging up the rutabagas .
Not a knock on Q being on the team. Every team needs depth ..
But this is another guy that nearly got Josh killed. So what does it say to Josh ?

I've been saying all along that we're going to sign a David Quessenberry level OT, or simply bring back Quessenberry himself, and Draft an OT in the mid rounds. Have a competition between the 3. One would start, one would be a Swing Tackle, and one would replace Tommy Doyle.

 

If you listened to Beane at all, he was never going to outright replace Spencer Brown. He's consistently said he feels him having to have back surgery in the Offseason, not having a Training Camp, and being nicked up throughout the season was the cause of him underperforming. And there may be some merit in that.

 

Beane's covering his bases in the event Brown does become a long term issue. But he was never giving up on him. People who were expecting that were fooling themselves. There was never going to be an Orlando Brown level signing to outright replace him.

Well sure. But this is beanes fault/weakness. He marries himself to players. Has to be more cut throat and be objective

Maybe if we had the cap space, he would have been. But giving up on a guy they spent a Day 2 pick on, after a promising rookie season, followed by a sophomore season with a heavy asterisk, when you can't afford to in the first place doesn't make sense.

 

Lots of fans looked at the situation we were in and said "I don't care, figure it out". And he did. He found 43.5 to get out from under 18.5. But we still had 24 bodies to re-sign or replace with that money. Expensive splashes weren't in the cards.

This guy is great depth, sneaky good signing by Beane.

Oh yea I think he’s done a solid job this off-season. But forced to.

i don’t really care about q signing. 
 

if he / the bills come upon a sure fire tackle prospect and it’s the best value - I want him drafted. Don’t count on Spencer brown is my point bc beane thinks he found a diamond in the rough
