Heard from that bonehead Collinsworth on Inside the NFL that Peters is starting at RT and MW will split time at G. Anyone else hear about this? Personally I'm all for it since MW is a ***** turnstile and is way overpaid. He may be better at G but only if he takes a pay cut. Collinsworth thinks MW is gone next year....another event I'm all for.

Per Clayton (ESPN):

Bills coach Mike Mularkey made a few interesting moves during the bye week. First, he stayed with Kelly Holcomb (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=3873) as quarterback, but that was necessary because he gives the Bills the best chance of winning. He's gambling that Jason Peters (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=7122) can be the right tackle. Mike Williams (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=5890), who is bordering on being a first-round bust, is competing against Bennie Anderson (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=5777) for the left guard spot. Now, the Bills have Mike Gandy (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=5515) at left tackle and Peters at right tackle. Chiefs defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham will probably use some of his new speed at linebacker to pressure those tackles and try to sack Holcomb, who isn't the most mobile quarterback. The key for the Bills is stopping the run. They have allowed 156.9 yards a game on the ground, six yards more per game than they are allowing through the air.

So I guess it's true....

I like the move...I actually called for it in here just after the NE game...Glad Mularkey is listening to me... ;)
