The Bills do not intend to experiment with Jason Peters at left tackle. Their plan is to keep him on the right side, where he started 10 games last season after Mike Williams was benched. "He's our right tackle right now," Jauron said. "He played outstanding football the latter half of 2005. We are counting on that to continue. Not only that, we are counting on that to improve. He has a chance to be a special player." more

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.

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
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 30. D'Qwell Jackson ILB Maryland 31. Jason Allen CB/FS Tennessee 32. Maurice Stovall WR Notre Dame Questions or Comments? E-Mail Jesse "JB" Ballard!

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.YardRat Wall of Fame

Originally posted by Tatonkahow do you take lines if they dont feel ngata, bunkley, or justice are guys they want? you take justice at 8???
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.

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."All hockey players are bilingual. They know English and profanity." ~ Gordie Howe
