I'd prefer not trying another guard with a lack of athleticism at tackle lol. I really dislike the "able to play multiple positions" aspect of Bills scouting, it almost always means they aren't great at any of them. Just get people that are above average at the positions they need them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s the leader on the line and does so much for Josh. He’s certainly not a liability and if he gets hurt he goes to IR and we save cap anyways 1 hour ago, HappyDays said: I'm not pounding the table to get rid of Morse, but we have seen Bates capably play center. We are light on cap space and still could use a couple late-stage free agent signings to round out our DL. Not to mention a certain WR that I would still love to find a way to obtain. Moving on from Morse may be the best available avenue to clear up a decent amount of cap space without a huge drop off to the next man in line. I just think Morse is the leader of the oline and a vet that we need. We’ve seen how bad the line is when Morse is out. He’s not a liability at all.

The OL looks much improved as we sit here today, not even accounting for a jump the staff is clearly banking on from Spencer Brown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will he stick with Brown even if the evidence continues to pile up that he's over his head? I'm trying to be optimistic, but visions of Brown being ragdolled by Melvin Ingram in the AFC championship game are hard to shake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Summary Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 2 hours ago, HappyDays said: A lot of guards on the team now. It makes me wonder if Morse could be a surprise cut or trade to free up some cap space? Bates could slide in at center without too much drop off. Just a thought. If Morse is the best center, then I don't see him going anywhere. Now when he gets a concussion, it's Bates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he was a good value as a 5th round type(where I took him in the Matt Miller 7 round draft thread). There are years where the positional depth isn't good at guard where he could have been a top 100 pick. Beane seemed to indicate that he just stuck out as the best player.........which is how the draft should be treated. Needs change fast. You pass on a guy with starting potential late in the draft one year and you may find yourself reaching for one early the next year. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
