Peters is right tackle

Re: Peters is right tackle

If Peters plays well the first half of this season we should try and get him wrapped up in a contract extension. I'd hate to see a possible good OL split after this year.

We will have tons of extra cap space. We should use that to sign someone like Peters long term and give him more money in year one so the hit will be easier in the future years. It doesn't make any sense just to let all that space unused.

Give him a high figure for this year then his cap hit would be pretty friendly over the rest of the years.

Re: Peters is right tackle

I agree.. get the man signed long term.

Re: Peters is right tackle

If I'm not mistaken, they are already working on a long term deal

I wouldn't just yet. If he is playing well the first half of the season then I would sign him. There are too many one year wonders out there. Should he play well again I'd try and wrap him up for 5 years. He would come much cheaper now then next year.

If we could get him to sign a decent deal right now that wouldn't break the bank I'd go for it before he plays real good. It would cost us more money after he breaks out this season.

Re: Peters is right tackle

It kills me to know our best lineman was an undrafed FA....kind of makes the case for V Davis or V Young at 8 doent it?

NO! That tells me we still need 3 OL on this friggin roster! Fowler is our center with preston as the backup. Peters is at RT. That leaves 3 more starters (when villarial is gone after this year)

Screw this bull crap of specialty positions. DRAFT FRIGGIN LINES!

Re: Peters is right tackle

hahahaha ice here you go!!!!! it is starting out there on the mocks....

8.	Vernon Davis	TE	Maryland
There are great athletic phenoms that come out every single season, but Vernon Davis is better than just an average athletic phenom, he has great receiving skills and adequate blocking skills to go with his athletic abilities. The Duke went to Indianapolis with high expectations and did better than what anyone could have imagined. He came in at over 6 foot 3, 254 pounds, ran a 4.38 forty yard dash (can you say amazing?), had 33 bench press reps, 42 inch vertical leap, and a 10'8" on the broad jump. That may be the best combine performance ever. The Bills look like they are going to part ways with Eric Moulds, plus Lee Evans and Roscoe Parrish would be starting, leaving them with not that many legitimate receiving targets. If the needs were bigger, Davis could be a top 5 pick.
9.	Michael Huff	CB/SS	Texas
10.	Haloti Ngata	DT	Oregon
11.	Ernie Sims	OLB	Florida State
12.	Brodrick Bunkley	DT	Florida State
13.	Winston Justice	OT	Southern Cal
14.	Santonio Holmes	WR	Ohio State
15.	LenDale White	RB	Southern Cal
16.	Tye Hill	CB	Clemson
17.	Marcus McNeill	OT	Auburn
18.	Chad Jackson	WR	Florida
19.	Jimmy Williams	CB	Virginia Tech
20.	Sinorice Moss	WR	Miami (FL)
21.	DeAngelo Williams	RB	Memphis
22.	Laurence Maroney	RB	Minnesota
23.	Chad Greenway	OLB	Iowa
24.	Tamba Hali	DE	Penn State
25.	Manny Lawson	DE/OLB	North Carolina State
26.	Johnathan Joseph	CB	South Carolina
27.	DeMeco Ryans	OLB	Alabama
28.	Kamerion Wimbley	DE	Florida State
29.	Mathias Kiwanuka	DE	Boston College

Re: Peters is right tackle

We take a TE or Safety...we are setting ourselfs back. Take LINES.

Re: Peters is right tackle

Take LINES.<<<

Agree...

Re: Peters is right tackle

how do you take lines if they dont feel ngata, bunkley, or justice are guys they want? you take justice at 8???

Re: Peters is right tackle

1. Glad to see Peters staying on the right - I'm not fond of moving guys around on the line.

2. Having said the above, and knowing Preston is actually a center, if Fowler works out there put Preston in at a guard spot and leave him there. Somewhat of a contradiction, I know, but it's still early enough in his career to plant him at guard as a fixture.

3. Don't reach at #8. Trade down, get an extra pick or two, and pick up the best offensive lineman/defensive tackle available.

Go to OBD and show me he isn't in the top 8 on the BUFFALO BILLS Board. Not the FANS board, but the guys who do this for a living. Again you ignore all the facts. The Bills have been (and it has been noted in the press) Studying this guy greatly as of late. Also McNally followed Winston from ThaU around all over the combine. It is apperant they like these two guys.

If they feel either one can come in, start by mid season and hold down the spot for 10 more years and perform at a high level, then you must take him.

Left tackle
Quarterback
Right Defensive End

The cornerstones of great teams. We don't have TWO of them. LT is one.

Again how is Justice a 'Reach' at 8? There is no one here, even me, qualified to say he is. Read my reply to Tonka.

Preston is going to be a longtime backup at Center and both guard spots. The fact we went out and signed fowler and made contact with Mawae shows me he isn't starting. The fact we offered up a huge contract to the LG out of Arizona shows me they aren't happy with thier starter at LG. We have talked to at least one veteran tackle and attempted to sign him. That says they aren't happy with LT now that peters is 100% at RT.

That says to me, Justice or Winston with our first round pick. DT and LG after that. Fowler will start, Preston is nothing but a backup.

Re: Peters is right tackle

the same can be said in reverse Ice.. you can not say that we have any line guys on our top 8 board at OBD.. but all you can say is "take lines.. take lines.. take lines" in every post.

are you going to jump off the wagon when they take a skill position? i mean i know for the last month, marv can do no wrong in our eyes.. but i am wondering how long it will take till you are back to your old ways.
