    Nix says Hairston better than they thought, may take over for Bell at somepoint

    Good interview with GM Buddy Nix. Most interesting part was on the offensive line. Nix says that Hairston is much better than they originally evaluated. Says that Bell will start out and he can get it done, but if he doesn't, Hairston will be ready to take over.

    Sounds like they are very high on him.

    If Hairston becomes a decent starting LT in the NFL, I will feel much better about the Lynch trade.

      He's actually scarily similar to how they picked their LT at SD. A LT with decent feet (but in McNeil's case a really balky back) that needs Strength and Conditioning to get into NFL shape.

      Thanks for the info on the interview!

        But starting him in the last preseason game didn't mean anything right? It wasn't an act of desperation- it was just giving a rookie a chance, right?

          See now that's taking a positive take. Not allowed on this site. Even if the Bills found a steal and the guy becomes the next Jonathan Ogden you have to always keep in mind that we were scraping the bottom of the barrel to have given the man snaps in preseason. Capiche?

              Lets see Hairston become Ogden first.

                No. There has to be a hidden reason for this. These are the Bills, so there has to be a pitfall.

                  Looks like it was a chance well worth taking. He made the most of it.

                    Maybe this will light a fire under Bell's butt.
                    Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

                      He just used his name hypothetically.

                        They started him in that last pre-season game? That's news to everyone.

                          i really thought it was an interesting pick. huge wingspan, very tall and wide. was also quick at the combine along with 33 reps on the bench. i like the pick and wouldnt be suprised if he starts later in the year... we shall see...

                              They took a guy drafted to eventually be the starter at RT and are now talking about making him the starter at LT.

                              They're throwing **** at the wall and trying to see what sticks because they failed to address the OL in two off-seasons.

                              If you guys don't see it, I don't know what to tell you.
