    In my day we did not have self-esteem... we had self-respect, and no more of it then we earned.

    Re: OG signed

    Buffalo is now a bit crowded at guard with Bates, Boettger, McGovern, Edwards and Mancz. I don't see Mancz making the team and Boettger could be in danger too unless he's willing to go on the PS. If McGovern and Edwards end up as starters, Bates probably is the primary backup at all three spots on the interior. Buffalo will probably sign a couple of young guys to the PS, maybe UDFAs.
    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.

    When I saw OG signed, I thought they signed an old guy.

    What were his stats from 2021?

    He started 17 games in 2021 and I believe 14 in 2020

    He allowed 7 sacks during the Rams SB run. He was their weakest link.

    I'm tired of the bargain basement O-line.

    Let me first state I’m not a fan of this signing and I don’t like signing all these low priced options. Use the money spent on all these guys and bring in 1 or 2 quality linemen. Draft and bring in unsigned players after the draft to fill the roster!

    Anyway, you forgot to add the rest of that sentence. Here’s the whole sentence; “Edwards, who's from Downers Grove, IL, gave up just six sacks in 2021, tied for sixth-best among offensive linemen that season was” Sixth-best among offensive linemen that season.” not sixth worst, but sixth best.

    Re: OG signed

    Are we allowing old coaches that had a player before to make these choices?

    Concussion history scares me ..... availability is still a very critical ability.

    Re: OG signed

    Key thing is Kromer coached him 2 seasons in LA so his potential and skill is known more than on paper. Plays both R/L guard.

    I don’t like the concussion issue, we already have that with Morse. I’m not sure this is something you overcome.

    On his team? That's a fairly high number for a guard. If he was playing tackle, then that's respectable.

    Dion Dawkins allowed 4 sacks in 2021 as a tackle. Where was he ranked?

    Re: OG signed

    The Bills are doing exactly what they need to do.

    They took care of the starting LG position with signing McGovern, who is an immediate upgrade from Saffold (younger too) and solidifies the left side of the O-line.

    Now they are addressing the other weakness of O-line depth. Let these guys battle it out in training camp.

    These signings make it easy to suspect that the mock drafts that has the Bills picking an IOL in the first round less likely.


    Since there are no LB prospects that will be at #27 that are worth a 1st round pick, and the reality that there will almost assuredly be several WR’s that are....this draft is setting up to be what the Bills have ignored (to the teams detriment) for years....spending valuable draft currency on offensive skill weapons like WR.

    If they draft ANY defensive player in round #1 this year, it will be a BIG mistake. Enough being in a defensive crouch. We have one of the best dynamic QB’s in the NFL...time to take advantage of those elite skills while he still is in his prime.

    Re: OG signed

    Bring in a bunch of mediocre O-linemen to see who is the least mediocre?

    When are we going to learn?

    Re: OG signed

    When I first saw this thread title I thought we signed OJ again.

    Getting old has been entertaining.

    Abbot and Costello still make me laugh .... hopefully that never changes.

    Re: OG signed

    Bates is going to be the backup center. It's stupid. He was good at lg...all they needed was a mauler rg and a true center to eventually replace Morse. Instead....you keep hiring multiple scrubs to keep from just drafting a rookie contract Torrence or such to protect your franchise gem. It's just stupid imho or they just don't comprehend how to draft. Shims and a prayer.

    Considering they gave him a one year deal, I think he is supposed to be some quality depth. Hopefully they draft one or two big fat slobs in the draft, and keep him as depth.
