Theres a possibility OL is 4th on our list... Harvin to visit?

[X-Era]

Clay is in town, Felton is as well and has been rumored to have already signed and now rumor is Harvin's first visit will be in Buffalo.

They want to improve the interior receiving options...

Percy Harvin would be amazing to watch in a Bills uniform, but OpIv37 is absolutely right.

All the fast toys don't matter if the Bills can't protect the quarterback.

What QB?!?!

Locker retired.

QB is the hardest thing to find not OL

Face it: there is no hope of fixing QB this off-season. The FA/trade market is weak and we spent our 1st round pick on Watkins already.

We can fix the OL. It will make life easier on EJ and Cassell, and we will be set to concentrate on QB next off-season.

And the off-season including the draft is > 12 hours.

There is this thing called THE DRAFT, with quality OL starter types available in Rounds 2-3 and beyond this year.

I didn't like this FA class at all.

[Mace]

Honestly nothing, until the draft. They aren't meaning to do more with it and intend to minimize the position via handoffs.

[Night Train]

Harvin quit on Seattle, then played for Rex. Did he change ?

Not sure.

[SpikedLemonade]

There is plenty of time left, but it appears the Bills are under appreciating the importance of a good OL once again.

Either they are incapable of evaluating OL talent or just don't see the OL as a priority.

The same crap philosophy that OL can be found late in the draft or off other teams practice squads despite the fact this Bills regime like the previous over 15 years has not been able to produce one top 5 OL in any of those years.

I could understand the arrogance if there is a history of great OL talent evaluation in the organization, but there simply isn't.

So I have to assume it is the same devaluation that is held by fans who do not really understand football, but rather prefer the sexy positions of pass catching TEs or WRs.

Once this team is unable to run the ball because our OL is dominated by superior DLs, we will need to rely on the arm of of our poor QBs. That is a recipe for disaster.

Of course, myopic fans will blame the lack of a run game on play calling and the RBs rather than looking to see that there are no run lanes/holes and that our OL is getting their stools pushed in.

You really want to start 2 rookie Guards this year?

We looked like crap last year with a rookie RT and 2 other rookie OLs that could not stay on the field.

Just like last year, the spin from the draft will be how those rookie OLs slid in the draft and should have been drafted much higher.

Offensive line isn't great -- but that "offense" we ran last year had a lot to do with how bad the line looked. Play calling was abysmal.

So you're claiming playcalling was great last year right? Other defenses had no idea what we were doing on offense -- okay, got it.

Hackett was in over his head, but there were times where the play calling was good, but the OL could not execute.

Dallas has a great OL. Defences often know the play that is coming and simply cannot stop it. Dallas is so confidant in their OL that they let the leagues leading rushing RB walk away in free agency.

That is the OL we should aspire to. A dominant OL that will not let us down in the 3rd and 4th quarter when we want to control the clock.

Instead, we are looking for "serviceable" OL like Incognito who is 32 years old and has not played in a year and a half. Basically, the any fat guy plan to OL success.

Lmao. Every year. Every ****ing year with this ****.

A lot of the best players were committed before FA even started this year, and a bunch more went today. The longer FA goes on, fewer options are available. The two best OL are already off the market.

If free agency is 2 players deep I got news... we're ****ed no matter what. Did you forget that there are 32 other teams trying to get better too?

Free agency is.... 4 hours old. Patience. .

The free agency prize for the oline resigned with the Packers. You absolutely can not ignore other needs while chasing o-linemen first only.

We have 6 draft picks and only 3 in the first 5 rounds.

If we get lucky we can find another Cyril Kwijibo. :rolleyes:

Any fat bastard will do on the OL given our superior OL coaching.

I do agree with OP. All the shiny toys won't make a difference if the qb or rb is on his back all day.

What's the point of owning a Ferrari if you don't have enough to put gas in it and live in a mobile home with no furniture?

Good thing we don't need to go to the track for another 6 months

[baalworship]

I'm getting worried but Whaley has a plan. With all these moves I'm hoping we can get one of these salary cap challenged teams to trade someone better than what we are seeing. Will start to get mad if no offensive line is brought in tomorrow as well.

[better days]

Harvin quit on Seattle, then played for Rex. Did he change ?

Not sure.

The Bills would not bring Harvin in for a visit if Rex was not on board.

Incognito will be one of the starters at Guard & he is no rookie.

The other Guard may be a vet as well.

If you are going to be something then be it.

(Mac accidentally kicks the car's mirror instead of the window)
Mac: ****! You know what? There is a slope in the ground, and I didn't—I wasn't—I wasn't calibrating that grade.
Charlie: You just totally broke this mirror, bro!
Mac: Ah, man. Well, it's the bull**** street. We gotta get that—we gotta get the zoning people out here.
Charlie: I don't think it's the street, bro.
Charlie: (to Mac) Learn how to kick. Take one karate class if you're so into karate, you know?

If you care that much about running the ball then fricken care that much about running the ball. GO ALL IN.
