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.”
