Langston Walker Cut:
 
Bills cut their starting LT too? WTF is going on in Buffalo? I don't know much about him, not as if we have the room to sign him anyhow, but he was their starting LT -- he must be somewhat desirable.

He's a better fit at RT and even that's a bit iffy.

Not a good start for Buffalo.

He's still better than a feel good story who gets a roster spot for losing weight. I like Mike Williams and I hope he succeeds, but I just don't think he can block well enough to warrant a spot on the roster right now. I say, go after Walker and cut Williams (or Batiste) if he signs.

Cut Williams? No thanks, this guy is a powerful run blocker who just has rust cause he hasn't played for years. Once his body get adjusted to the NFL (ill say week 4) he is going to be a force to be reckoned with. Too much upside to warrant cutting

I'll be at the Bills Pats game Monday night watching Buffalo's "o-line" allow Trent Edwards to get molested.

Should be entertaining...

I think they are starting two traditional guards at left and right tackle

Yeah, a quick peek at their [URL="http://www.buffalobills.com/team/depth-chart-list.html"]depth chart[/URL], and all I can really say about their O-line is that it's very young. Not much else to brag about. One of their starting guards is Eric Wood, who's a rookie that was drafted as a center if I'm not mistaken.

He's been out of the game for two years and you can already see his body is never ever going to hold up. I'd be on the phone with the guy Buff. cut asap.

When was the last time anyone of note considered Mike Williams a "powerful run blocker"? College, maybe? And how much upside can an out of shape, 29 year old offensive tackle that was released while he was in his prime possible have?

Mike Williams is useless right now, when they are very much in need of depth on the offensive line. I still can't figure out the logic, if any, that was used in making the decision to keep him. I don't see how it could hurt to take a look at a guy that actually played in the league, last season.

they'll probably get levi jones then...and i'll take walker over batiste and probably williams but it's not a big upgrade like people may think

Re: Langston Walker Cut:
 
If Samuels went down I'd feel more comfortable w/ Walker at RT than Williams. That said, Walker wants money and I don't think we can give him what he wants, but if he's willing to take a pay cut then he's worth signing. If we signed him, then the FO and Buges thought Williams was a failed project and wasn't ready for live bullets at RT. It would be an upgrade but an expensive one.

Langston is huge, played for the Raiders before the Bills. He's no better than what we currently have.

Re: Langston Walker Cut:
 
Yeah I drafted him in another league too. But he isn't in my big money league, so I am good.

Seriously, the only time he ever had upside, he was coming out of Texas. He never lived up to his potential. Everyone wants to be enamored by the fact that he was a first round pick [B]7[/B] years ago. It's no accident that he was out of the league for 2 years, he's not a very good football player. He did nothing to disprove that in the final preseason game.

I can't, for the life of me, understand why he stayed over Bridges. I like him and admire his work ethic, but the fact remains that I can't think of one DE who can't beat him off the ball.

the Bills have the worst Oline in football and they cut him. He must suck.
