    Our new Left Guard....

    It looks like Chris Brown and the Bills are already trying to spin it and say how we might already have our next starting LG on the team....

    Right now Buffalo has nine offensive linemen on the roster with six of them primarily tackles. Hangartner, Brad Butler and 2008 practice squad player Brandon Rodd are the only true interior linemen currently on the squad.

    But offensive line coach Sean Kugler believes there are a couple of tackles that offer a bit more versatility. The recently re-signed Kirk Chambers and second-year man Demetrius Bell will be part of the left guard competition.

    “Kirk is real versatile,” said Kugler. “He started one game at guard and three games at tackle last season, so he’s proven he can play both guard and tackle. He’s going to get an opportunity at the left guard spot with Derrick (Dockery) gone.”.............

    “Demetrius is a younger prospect, but he too, in practice, played on both sides at tackle and guard,” Kugler said. “He’s kind of proven it in practice. We haven’t seen it in a game type setting that he can handle that yet, but we’re confident that he’s going to continue to grow. We’re excited about him. Those are the two guys for now that are in the mix for that spot.”

    Looks like the Bills cut Dockery and had no plans for a replacement other than the backup OTs on the roster....

          Coaches always talk up the guys that are currently on the team because it's all they can do. It doesn't mean we're not going to bring in another guard.

            You keep forgetting who's running our team. Until they give me a reason to have faith in them, I'm sorry I can't do it. It's been 9 long offseasons and this one looked like it might be a good one but we all know that T.O. was only signed to sell tickets and merchandise. It was a definitely marketing move.

              Thank you for the link. They are only makingn this statement to try and spin their situation. It is no big deal, there is still plenty of time to either draft or pick up a free agent. Lets hope they use the time to evauluate best options and have a contingency if they fail...

                yeah? What good guards are left? What guards are there in the draft that will help this team?

                This is typical Buffalo- they do a good job unloading the trash, then they try to replace the trash with the guys who were on the bench backing up the trash the year before.

                ****. No wonder we never win.

                  True, it is March. But again, we are talking about the Bills. People are fed up dude, how can you blame them.

                  I think people who say how the Bills will be in the playoff hunt now because of T.O. alone need to chill out waaayyyyy more.

                    Duke Robinson isn't a good candidate for guard in Round 2? He would start for us Day One.

                    All I'm saying is people need to chill out...it will get addressed eventually

                      I see no problems with giving Chambers or Bell a shot to earn the LG spot.

                      I'm just letting you know that you have been given 2 points for telling Wys AKA Mark to kill himself.

                        Personally, I'm OK with Chambers or Bell at LG... I think they're both capable and no worse than a push over Dockery.

                        Fast forward to the draft... We've only got 1 center on the team. That says to me that we'll be drafting a G/C or C/G fairly early... He's gonna have to be a talented and versatile guy.

                        Peters - Chambers - Hangartner - Butler - Walker
                        Chambers/Bell - Chambers/Bell - Rookie - Rookie - Chambers/Bell

                          I dont understand how people get so frustrated that we arent signing players that no one else wants?

                          It confuses me. I have to read every offseason about Bennie Anderson and Tutan Reyes, yet people want us to continue to sign those players.

                            I wonder if we're going to be loving the T.O. move when he's talking crap about Buffalo and hating it here when we're 0-6.

                              Yep, all because we didnt sign Mike Goff.

                              You guys are drama queens.
