John from Riverside Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 so that he can "dominate" Has Jason Peters even given up a sack this year whether it be RT or LT? We HAVE a dominating LT on the team right now in Jason Peters....what we SHOULD be looking for is a dominating RT..... Our running game will truly get going when we can have confidence running behind RG and RT again...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corp000085 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 peters is truly a freak... he, moorman, fletcher, and possibly spikes are the top FOOTBALL players on the team... guys who just kick ass, no matter where they play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 Corp, I absolutely agree..... Everyone wants a dominating Left Tackle but the constant talk is that there are only so many in the league, they cost a mint, and they are impossibile to get unless you use a top 1st round draft pick to get one. The bills are fortunate in this area even thought the overall line play hasn't been good.....we have a bookend LT who we didn't spend a 1st round pick on and is signed to a reasonable contract..... Right tackles are so much easier to find......our OL is going to look much better next year..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkady Renko Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Isn't he more of a LT physique-wise anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 It may be me but it looks like a lot are trying to, find excuses to move JP back to RT..... I'm sorry, but I don't see how anyone could think for even one split second that Losman has the body to play RT. sorry...couldn't be helped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Who wants to move him back to RT? And he's making about $3M a year, which is still a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather see them go for another DT (or LB) with R1 pick (gotta stop the run), then RT (OL in general) with R2 and R3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 I would like to see the bills (provided that their draft pick is high) - Trade out of the pick for a latter round first and 2nd rounder..... - Take the best available road grating GUARD with the 1st round pick - Take the best available DT with one of the 2nds - Use the other 2nd for either a big physical wideout OR a RT OR a pass catching TE and then I would also hit those positions AGAIN in free agency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 i tihnk hes getting 5 years, 15-18 mil, IIRC. But, still a bargain. 843886[/snapback] A few things R Man...... 1) I have no clue why my man JfH thinks people want to move Peters back to RT. 2) The salary part of the contract matters little. If.....again IF Peters continues to develop at a good pace (a distinct possibility), there is not a way in hell he will not be re-negotiated for a substantial raise at some point. I make the case that to not do so is impossible, especially if he ever gets near the probowl. The good news is that he is locked up for 5 years! 3) If the Bills don't have to draft a LT (again, there is really little to no other way to get a really good one), other doors will open wide. Other positions which are easier to fill (OG, DT, RT, TE, WR, LB) can be addressed with early picks, and each and every one of these positions is easier to fill. If this kid can stay healthy and keep getting better, it is all good (providing Marv can resist drafting another slew of dbs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My response that is we already have a blue chipper LT in hand...what we really need to do is get OL on the right side that pave the way for the run......I cannot believe that we run almost exclusively to the left side right now....
