Amini to LT ?

[Udogg]

I swear to f#$#$##$ .....

 

Do you guys actually watch line play?   Please if you have any games where Amini played saved on game pass or Tivo or whatever please watch him in pass blocking situations.  I double dare you to watch 2 games of his pass blocking and then say we should start him at LT.    Please don't give me that ..Amini improved speech that everyone gives.  Or the Amini has potential, and just a rookie yada yada.  Just honestly watch him pass block and then tell me what position you think he should play.

 

 

hint:  It won't be anywhere on the left side of the line.

Moving players around is a last resort, if we are truly in transition than just drafting a young player to develop makes the most sense.

You guys should read Ross Tuckers piece at mmqb.

His point is left guard is much easier to play in pass protection than right guard. Chandler starting at lt while we broom a rookie at rt might not be as stupid as it first sounds.

I think Nate Chandler is best suited for that spot. Practiced at LT through last years camp. We need Amini and Edmund at the guards. For the love of god just get a mauler at RT

[AceBoogie]

I actually believe he was drafted for that purpose

[PantherFanOne]

I'd rather give Chandler a shot if we're going bottom feeding. Amini is just starting to adjust to guard. Chandler was solid at LT in preseason, albeit against scrubs.

 

I agree that Chandler would be my first choice if I were selecting someone presently on our roster to play LT. Wharton would be my second choice.

I can't get that idea out of my head.  They keep talking about his athleticism--I am not sure he is the favorite for RG.

Should have picked Cordy Glenn

 

Bills LT Cordy Glenn was responsible for only 1.5 sacks in 2013.

 

Glenn made major improvements in pass protection in his second season, grading out as the No. 11 left tackle by Pro Football Focus. He was also among the most durable players in the league, starting all 16 games and leading the NFL with 1,180 snaps.

Should have picked Cordy Glenn

 

This is why Rivera doesn't need to be in the war room come draft day.

Really our only true LT is at the moment is Andrew McDonald

I can't get that idea out of my head. They keep talking about his athleticism--I am not sure he is the favorite for RG.

He looked good at LT in preseason game 4. Very good. He truly doesn't have the base for drive blocking a DT in our scheme at guard. I think he could handle ends and he shines in space. I wouldnt line him up on the strong side at RT either though. We need a tight end and RT who can level people to be honest. I think strongside runs were our biggest weakness last year

[pantherj]

If we had to start the season with this O-line, then I would move Bell over to LT, and put Williams at RT, he played decent at that position during the lost season.

[KillerKat]

I wouldn't trust Cam's health in the hands of Bell.
