“He played left tackle in college so he had a comfort level at left tackle,” said Gailey in reference to Hairston playing on the right and left side last Saturday. ”I think it’s worked out well for him to be able to play both. The way we sit right now he needs to know both so it helps us from a depth perspective as well. We’ll keep him at left this week just so he can hone in on that for an extended period of time and see how he does.”

Re: Hairston to play LT Thurs.
i think it's a little of both. yes, it's good to see where people are, but it's no secret that the line isn't solidified which means that yes, the bills may be looking to see a spark from hairston to be a starter.
it seems late to be trying to plug holes, but hey, at least they admit they've got some problems.
i'll reserve my judgement for opening day. we'll see how they do.

Originally posted by justasportsfanHaving players play different positions is scraping? If teams didn't do that the Jason Peters would never have been a LT. BB does that all the time.Originally posted by psubills62How exactly is this scraping the bottom of the barrel? You do realize he's not going to play LT with the first team, right? Just trying him out there, you know, kind of like they did against Jacksonville too. Or is it now a bad thing to have a guy who knows both OT spots?
Second, this shows that they have no back-up plan if Bell gets injured. One injury and we will end up re-shuffling the whole OL. That's definitely scraping the bottom of the barrel, especially when you consider it in terms of all the other OL shuffling that's gone on this off-season (Wood to C, Hangartner and Levitre demoted, etc).

Who really cares what you want to label this as? Hairston will either pan out or he won't. Playing him some snaps at LT is just taking advantage of a position he played in college and gives us another option. Anthony Munoz ain't walking through that door. At some point the Bills have to get a little lucky and smart to turn things around. They can't all be 1st round picks.
