There's more clips in that Twitter thread from Erik Turner. When Q was cut, I expected a move. I don't see any way McDermott would be comfortable with having our Backups at OT being two guys who have never played a regular season snap before. Though a 1st Round Pick who didn't get his 5th year option picked up and then was released early by 2 teams already this offseason doesn't invoke a lot of faith in me. But at least he has starting experience and has attributes that made him a 1st Rounder.

gonzo1105 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Eh backup RT and who can play the Left but I think RVD would be better on the left. He’s basically the shell replacement if they bring him in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a perfect world we'd have a single swing tackle but it's better than nothing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's more clips in that Twitter thread from Erik Turner. IIRC, he is someone I was interested in back in 2020 before he signed with Da Bears. He can play both G and T. He may be a bit of a better guard than a T (struggled with penalties playing T for the Seahawks), but as a reserve, he's got that experience we lack right now - 😘 3 minutes ago, gonzo1105 said: Eh backup RT and who can play the Left but I think RVD would be better on the left.

As for Ifedi, I hope he can keep his penalties to a minimum.

Since they tend to get injured, 10 is not unreasonable - we've kept that many before How many DE and DT do you think we ought to keep? In case you've lost track, we've currently got 10 DL plus Von Miller on the roster.... so we should keep 11 DL plus Miller and only 9 OL?

Makes sense. I think we have 1 roster opening (shorter and Spector to IR, and bring back Reid). So not sure we need to cut Anderson, yet. I'd be for signing a better version of Dodson, which is what Kirksey brings I think. But agree, it will come down to whether Coach is comfortable with 2 weeks for him, thoughts on Bernard, perhaps Klein (if he's on P/S) is break glass if Kirksey is slow on uptake of defense. Think we have options to bring in Kirksey, over Dodson, and at worse turn to Klein/Bernard week 1. That'd be the only move I see at this point.

Eastport bills Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Seems like a better option for the offense we run than Quess or Boettiger. Now bring in another MLB and the QB Dallas cut (Greer)and put Allen on the practice squad or trade him for a 6th or 7th rounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFooteball Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Someone who knows way more about o-line than myself let me know is this an upgrade over Q in your opinion? Clearly bills do but everything I read this guy was (is?) a penalty machine and revolving door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
