MartyBall4Buffalo Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I think ferguson will eventually be good at pass protection my biggest issue with him is he's a finese tackle who will get rolled as a run blocker, making him rather average.

frogger Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 my deal with Brick last year was that. Typically rookies struggle at LT, and he would have to start his career at RT, the problem is he doesn't have the size to play RT, his playing weight during the season was around 275. at 275 he would have been an average sized lineman in 86. That is why i was happy to see him drafted by anyone other than Buffalo. Don't tell me about McNeill, I agree he had a great rookie year, but he at least he had the size if anything prior to being drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean Ferguson needs to get some more of D'Bricks in his rikishaw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Y. Orangeman Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Yeah, after all, its not like giving up 0 sacks or 20 sacks makes a difference. Because you can tell the difference between giving up 4 or 7 sacks? This is about sacks as a measure of quality of OL. It accounts for neither the play nor the scheme called.

RShirley Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I dont think it is so very impertinent to compare the two, this was, after all, Jason Peter's first season at LT as well. He was originally thought to be a TE even when he got into training camp and wasnt converted to a tackle until mid way through his second season...so if anything, fergueson has had a far greater amount of time at LT than peters correct? I am glad you made this point. People failed to mention that he was a converted TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It accounts for neither the play nor the scheme called. Sacks are one part of an overall evaluation of an offensive lineman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubes Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Personally, I'd prefer to just call him a bust now and get it over with. It makes me feel better and validates me as a Bills fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
