As we all know it's been ugly for a looooooong time. I've been giving it some thought as to what adustments need be made to make this a better line.
First and foremost...Draft: Best OT option in Round 1
Brick Ferguson OT (Virginia) is a top 5 pick and if Buffalo has the opportunity to take him, they'd better not pass him up.
If someone does snag Brick early, the Bills need to trade down to about the
ten spot and pick up Jonathan Scott OT (Texas).
Second, offer Mike Williams nothing and let him loose. Make him someone elses project and finally pull the plug. He has had more than ample time and it's disgraceful to squeeze this guy in at guard. Besides, it will be the ultimate slap in the face when the new GM axes one of TD's biggest busts.
Next, slide Teague out of the Center position and back over to compete as a tackle. Keep him on the roster as a backup for both the tackle and the Center position.
Give Duke Preston the starting Center position. At 6-5 311+ LBs, he makes a great barrier up front. He should be ready to go this season. Preston looked good in pre season this past year, with another year under his belt I expect that he now possess the abilites to get the job done. And it's his natural position. We need a natural Center anchoring this line.
Consider above...We now have Teague, Gandy, Peters, McFarland, Jerman and Rookie all battling it out for tackle positions. If all goes according to plan, the Rookie grabs the LT slot, leaving the starting RT slot open to the rest.
Personally, I like Peters and Gandy. I see Gandy winning the slot. Now, Peters has some get up and go. I hate to repostion the kid yet again, but move him beside Gandy at RG. The kid has wheels and can be used as a pulling guard to open holes for McGahee along the left side.
Teague, and Jerman remain as back-up. Cut McFarland.
Bennie Anderson, Chris Villarrial and late round draft pick or FA battle it out for LG.
