Are you prepared to be shocked on the O-line?!

[HHURRICANE]

I believe that the O-line will not have either Jason Whittle or Langston Walker starting.

I'm absolutely convinced that Brad Butler will win the RG position in camp/pre-season.

The RT position is a little trickier. The Bills depth chart has Pennington as the backup to Peters now. I think Walker is going to get abused in camp and I see Pennington moving back over during the pre-season.

I think the line will be Peters-Dockery-Fowler-Butler-Pennington. I have a feeling Whittle or Preston is getting cut with Walker sitting on the bench.

I won't be shocked about anything that happens on the right side. The starters will be who sucks less.

I see Peters, Dockery, Fowler, Preston, Walker, Pennington, Butler, and Whittle making the team, with Merz being put on the PS. At RG, I could see Butler winning the job. But I don't see Walker not starting at RT. Forget what happened in Oakland. And Preston and Whittle have too much experience to cut them loose.

My starting O-Line, from LT-RT is Peters, Dockery, Fowler, Walker, Pennington. Walker worked better at guard in Oakland, Pennington played well near the end of the year at RT and really has the physical tools you want of an RT in the NFL. Butler and Whittle make it as backups whom can play several different positions on the O-Line, and Preston and Merz fight it out for the final spot.

On one hand, I don't care as long as the best players on the field.

On the other hand, I'm gonna be pissed if we spent all that FA cash on players who can't even start.

Re: Are you prepared to be shocked on the O-line?!

HH i really agree with u that Butler will be startin at RG, but i dont see us cuttin Preston or Whittle, we need depth at both G positions and C, plus u will see Corey Davis and/or Tubbs on the PS, but i think Walker really has to **** the bed not to be our starter at RT on opening day, 5 Million a season gurantees that, hopefully under the tutalige of McNally we will see brighter days, he did wonders with Pennington and Peters, so i hope so, if not we does have a promising depth prospect in Pennington whjo as a 7th rounder gives depth at both T positions he was an outstanding pick for us

Re: Are you prepared to be shocked on the O-line?!

Let me amend what I said. I would be fine with Walker at RG, and if he's not starting at RT, that's where I'd expect him to play. I doubt they'll be fine with shelling out what they did for Walker (although I don't think he got much in terms of guaranteed money) and not have him starting somewhere on the right side. The question would then be, who plays RT? I'm not expecting much more out of Pennington than what we saw last year, and that wasn't good enough.

Re: Are you prepared to be shocked on the O-line?!

Although I'd prefer to see Peters-Dockery-Fowler-Walker-Pennington, I think the starters are pretty much set in stone except for RG with Peters-Dockery-Fowler-?????-Walker.

Butler may indeed end up in the starting five, but Whittle won't get cut because he has too much versatility and experience.

Re: Are you prepared to be shocked on the O-line?!

Walker will be starting

Re: Are you prepared to be shocked on the O-line?!

I'd like to see if Walker could move inside to RG. He's huge and is a beast as a run blocker...we were sorely needing some run blocking on the right side last year. I like Butler because he has a mean streak, and think he could at least provide some depth on the right side. The left side of our line is pretty solid, and I'm looking for some ass-kicking power on the right side.

Re: Are you prepared to be shocked on the O-line?!

Langston Walker will start at Right Tackle.

There should be no doubt about that in anyone's mind.

Re: Are you prepared to be shocked on the O-line?!

I see the line starting out with this....


Peters-Dockery-Fowler-Butler-Walker, but I also see a midseason shakeup when Walker will move to a better position and solidify the RG spot, while Pennington comes to RT. That will be the best line for the team and will be pretty damn good.

Re: Are you prepared to be shocked on the O-line?!

I think Walker is pretty much written in stone. Just read this quote from McNally printed today.

"We've got to make that decision soon," McNally told BuffaloBills.com. "The faster we get a guy there working with (tackle) Langston Walker and entrenched at that position, the better. I don't think we'll take very long. It might go a week into training camp and then it's 'Here are our five and let's go.' "

Wow, good find.

If Preston is starting at RG than why did we bother to bring Whittle in? Am I the only one that things Preston sucks. How many games do I need to watch him get man-handled in?

Plan on seeing plenty of tinkering with the right side all year if Preston and Walker are starting. I hope the pre-season is long enough to make changes. I can't see Preston starting. No way.
