Wood Signed, Byrd Very Close


Recommended Posts

Great if its true...of course he's missed too much training camp to be any good now.. WTG front office :wallbash:

 

He will never be the player he could have been because of the shorts and t's practices he missed. Damn crazy, stupid kid.

Maybin's agent is the one holding out, waiting for picks above and below to sign before even talking to the Bills. As someone mentioned in another post, Wood and Levitre were the key guys to get to camp. Maybin and Byrd will catch up.

Much agreed - Wood and Levitre really need to be there as much as possible for the coaches to assess the O-line, although I have a feeling it isn't going to be the interior of the line that's going to be questionable, as much as the tackle positions. I've always liked Wilson at safety, and Scott; so, Byrd isn't as high a priority, IMO. Maybin, though, should be in ASAP. I think the coaches need to see what he can do in pads. As far as I can tell by reading the news on the OTA's, Maybin has a lot of people wondering what he'll be capable of in pads. Can't wait to see. But, in all, I think the Bills have done a good job of signing guys - I think we're quite far ahead of most other teams.

The wood signing is extremely important......

 

Levitre and Wood need to be here......our season relies on them so much

 

 

If the Bills season is heavily reliant on rookie offensive lineman then the Bills are in for a rude awakening.

 

The OL needs time to work together. It is unrealistic to expect the line to operate like an experienced line. This year is going to be a harsh education for the rookies. They are going against experienced NFL veteran defensive lineman who will have a big edge over the Bills revamped line. I don't really expect them start as a tandem. I expect a good deal of rotation.

 

Five new positional starters on the OL is virtually unheard of in the NFL.

 

I acknowledge the Bills needed to rebuild the line, but this year is going to be a rough;but necessary, learning experience.

Does anyone know why Wood is playing RG instead of LG? I thought that maybe his footwork coming out of his stance is faster on one side than the other. Right vs. left foot dominance.

 

I will admit that I do not have a clue as to if the my guess is correct or not. Anybody out there play organized ball on the OL have any insight to offer.

Good question. Not sure about the technique aspect, but it's been mentioned from an attitude perspective they liked Wood/Butler for a nasty right side.

Also remember that Levitre played LT at Oregon. In addition to making him learn a new position, why would you want to move him to the other side of the center?

I remember an interview with Jauron saying that they want Levitre at LG because he's more technical and bigger, while Wood is more brute force.
