bobblehead Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 i have said a couple of times.....i like Steve Hutchinson better overall as a player, but....i would rather have Bently at center and "whoever" at LG..... over Steve Hutchinson and Teague still at center. 590845[/snapback] Also add that Hutchinson ain't goin' nowhere, nohow anyway.

Gambler Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 By the way, it is great to hear he is set to leave the Aints. I was concered. It shows, IMHO, that they do not have a commitment to winning. 590654[/snapback] Sounds eerily familiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Did you mean Jeff Hartings...because he is the best center in football and isplaying for the Super bowl bound Steelers.....I agree Center is a crucial position Teague has been an average center...but the problem is with Teague getting pushed back all the time by the opposing NTs and DTs, the pressure on our QBs have come right on their face and that has been the demise of Bledsoe and so far JPL..... When you feel the pressure on your face (rather than not knowin where it is coming from), i think QBs make mistakes.... 590871[/snapback] Middle pressure also gets to the QB a lot faster, the distance is simply shorter. Edge pressure takes a little more time because the DE has to cover more distance. If your middle holds and the edge doesn't, the QB can step up and buy another second or two. If the middle caves from the git go, the QB has no place to go but into the waiting arms of a DE who is no longer being blocked because the QB has moved so that the blocker is no longer between him and the rusher. Lastly, middle pressure takes away the QB's vision. He can't see the receivers as well. That is not the case with edge pressure. A guy coming from your blind spot at least is not blocking your vision downfield. We have to revamp the middle, totally. The tackles can wait. Peters might be the real deal but even if he isn't, we can make do with him and Gandy if we can improve from guard to guard. Sign Bentley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 The tackles can wait. Peters might be the real deal but even if he isn't, we can make do with him and Gandy if we can improve from guard to guard. Sign Bentley 591248[/snapback] I loved the post until this. The Tackles cannot imo wait, not in this draft. First of all, Peters seems to be more suited to play LT than RT. He is agile, fast and a bit smaller than the proto-type RT than we are seeing these days. In this said to be tackle rich draft, there is absolutely zero excuse for not picking up at the very least a RT on the 1st day of the draft. The Bills can simply not afford to put in the likes of Jerman and expect to win NFL football games. If the Bills are trying to win games instead of sell tickets with Parrish type selections, I am thinking that they can shore up the entire OL, not just the middle. Jmo.

billsfan182 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I would love to see this guy brought here...this is how i hope our line will end up: LT- Runyan, Peters LG- Gandy(???) C- Bentley, Preston RG- Villariel, Geisinger RT- DaBrickasha or Justice and Peters to compete I would be very happy to see this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmo. 591272[/snapback] I don't want to ignore the tackles, I just think the priority is in the middle. I don't know that we are going to get a better tackle in the third round than we already have in Gandy and Peters. One of the problems is that with a line this bad, it is hard to determine just where to start fixing it. My vote is for the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
