JDubya76 Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 The hundreds of simulations I ran, he never dropped to 59. Very nice, we need some maulers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roundybout Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 1 minute ago, Coach Tuesday said: I’m not sold on the approach here although I get the value. Assume they’re gonna put Torrence next to Dawkins, so does this mean Dawkins doesn’t kick inside in a couple of years? More importantly, you’ve got the left side of the line set up for a power scheme now, but not really the right side. And running screen passes behind Dawkins and Torrence and asking them to get downfield and block? I don’t think so. Just an odd schematic fit to me but they’ve been doing this mismatch thing on the o-line for most of McD’s tenure. To me it screams long-term fix at RG if they have to move Bates inside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than the tubs of "sorry sir let me get out of your way" guards we've been rotating the past few years. You just run or stunt around him.

Buffalo_Stampede Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Just now, ColoradoBills said: Cody was a RT. He couldn't do that and couldn't move to RG. I see your "athletic" point, but Torrence is a full-time natural RG. Let's see what an NFL camp will do with him. Seemed like after Ford the Bills shifted to more athletic OL. So this Torrence pick shocks me but I’m glad he’s a natural OG rather than converting someone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Tuesday Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Just now, DrDawkinstein said: Torrence RG only. Thanks - I thought they said he’d be manning the LG in Buffalo. Again though, putting Torrence between Morse and Brown is … odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasternOHBillsFan Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 For those of us who remember a massive OLman from the past... Torrence is 40 pounds lighter than Mike Williams was. He'll be just fine. Mike Williams 6'6", 370 lbs O'Cyrus Torrence 6'5", 330 lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 10 minutes ago, DrDawkinstein said: I understand that. I was hoping we could jump the Giants for JMS. I'm not saying Beane screwed up. I'm merely talking about player preference. We only had six pics in this draft. We can’t continually give up pics to move up. This guy is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) 10 minutes ago, The Jokeman said: Yeah not like anyone uses pulling guards anymore. Almost like i said “more of a” yea aren’t getting a wart free all pro that does everything well at 59 they got a guy that wins at point of attack but isn’t as mobile. For a position that needs less, but not zero, mobility. they are all coin flips at this point. Hopefully he mauls a few guys.

Big Turk Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 4 minutes ago, DrDawkinstein said: That. Cant get out on the move that well. He can push straight ahead well, but is soft if he has to move laterally. Plus I dont like how that Florida team played so not high on players coming out of there. I dunno. I dont want to bag on the kid too bad. I'm cheering for him now that he is a Bill. Just wish the draft went differently. He held his own against Jalen Carter which is saying something. And I don't care if he was playing in D III, not giving up a single sack in over 1500 snaps is impressive any way you slice it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
