All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host. Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/forum/feedback-forums/billszone-q-a/6521455-upgrade-report-bugs-here

Excellent investment into our OL

04-25-2009, 08:31 PM

:pirate:

I am surprised we went with 2 interior OL. Like everyone else I thought we grab a T. But the versatility of these 2 players is excellent. A G/C and a G/T... We got 2 very good OL who without a doubt make us a better overall offense.

With the players the Bills signed in FA for the OL and the 2 we just drafted we have our best OL from RT to LG in a long time, with solid depth to back all those positions up....

If Bell comes through as a LT or Walker / Chambers handle LT well we are in great shape on the OL IMO

We can debate the other picks some what, but grabbing 2 high quality guys for the OL who should be a big part of our OL for quite awhile is a great step toward breaking out of this playoff drought.

Re: Excellent investment into our OL

This is the only thing I'm happy about so far. If any area needs an overload, it's the O-line. Good to see the Bills considered it a huge priority

The OL drafting has been good...the Byrd pick is just horrible.

Re: Excellent investment into our OL

it cracks me up that people think that know better than the guys that do this for a living.. everyone and their brother, including me, thought everett brown was a sure fire 1st rounder.. most of us would have been absolutely fine with brown being our 11th overall pick.. so were did he get drafted? middle of the 2nd round.. i mean im just saying that maybe maybin is a much better pick? people are assuming the pick is bad.. but if we take orakpo, fans would have a totally different attitude.. im just saying none of us know half of what the team does.

same can be said for byrd.

Re: Excellent investment into our OL

My question is who moves over to OT? Levitre or Butler?

Re: Excellent investment into our OL

Here's our current starting OL in my mind....

Walker-Wood-Hangartner-Levitre-Butler

Bell, Chambers and McKinney are the primary backups

Butler. He was a very good T in college and is to big for G. 6-8, can anyone see over him?

I'm pretty confident that any of us could do a better job of drafting then the current regime...just look at the success this team hasn't had.

I believe it has to be Butler who played there in college.
