    Move Jonas To Center??

    I saw in a couple posts how people think Jennings would be a better fit at center since he would bring more size to the middle. What do you guys think of that? Do you think it would be a noticeable improvement? Would there be a dropoff at left tackle? Thoughts?

      I thought they tried that last training camp and Jonas wasn't doing that great at it. Besides I think the only real problem with the o-line is the RG spot. Teague may not be the best center but he is a smart player and can make the correct cals and has enough skills to at least be adequate at the position. Send in Marques Sullivan please!!!!!!

        He cant snap the ball any worse than Teague.

        How intelligent is he?
        Who would replace him on Drews Blind Side?
        What to do with Teague? => R. Guard?

          I think he did it for a year in high school. This was talked about last year after MW was drafted and then quickly nixed. I think the gain at C would be offset by a weakening of the T position.

                  The Bills did experiment with Jennings at LT for a while in minicamp. I think they settled on the present lineup pretty early in training camp. I think Jennings could handle center. It begs two questions though. First, what do the Bills do at LT? There are two possiblities. One-just flip flop Teague and Jennings. As has been mentioned, Teague played LT for the Broncos. e was aquired by Donahoe to play LT for Buffalo before Buffalo drafted Mike Williams and moved Jennings. He was a so-so LT for the Broncos. The other possiblility would be to move Mike Williams to LT and start Marcus Price at RT. Teague would be our back-up tackle. I think that might be a stronger lineup. It could only work short term because Teague makes too much money to be a long term backup.
                  I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

                  I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

                        Move Big Mike to the left side? I don't know if he's ready for that. He seems to have problems with quick edge rushers, and that's all he'd see on the left side. As bad as he looked going against Ogunleye in the Miami game, I just don't know if he can handle playing the left side at this point.

                          I miss Hull. Tasker said on the radio that when Kelly would change a play and Hull would look at him and shake his head when he disagreed and Kelly would change the play again. Hull was usually right.

                          Hull would also get on the the teams Arse when they sucked instead of "we nee to get better at this or that "

                            You and me both, justa. He was one of my all-time favorite Bills and, given his circumstances, should get some consideration for the Hall of Fame. I mean, to make 3 Pro Bowls when you play in the era of guys like Matthews, Mosebar, Stepnoski, and, most of all, Dawson, then you MUST be good! Maybe we'll see him get in; maybe not. I sure would love it! If he does ever get in, I WILL go to the ceremony in Canton!!

                              If only we had a Center like Hull who could keep Drew in check whenever he makes bonehead decisions. All Drew has right now is Gilbride. I doubt Drew is ever gonna complain when Gilbride asks him to throw, play after play.
