We've got ourselves a center Trey Teague (Merged)

Does anyone know: can Mangold play guard?

 

Teague is a great signing to help bolster the O line. Now if Jets keep #29 what position do we pick?

 

look for BPA at that spot, if it follows the belicheck/pioli scheme, when selecting at the end of round 1, you always take the BPA, regardless if its a pick that fans/beat writers like or not

 

I was actually thinking the same thing. Not that I want to move up with the 'Aints, but almost every draft I saw had up penciled in for taking Mangold.

Personally, I'm all for Carpenter or Maroney, and then trying Eslinger in the third.

 

Don't even think about it. Forget it.

 

RB would be nice, but probably a LB/DE will happen like Lawson

 

So do the Bills have a centre right now or is it looking like they might take Mangold?

By the way I am surprised FA O-linemen haven't been more anxious to play in NY, considering anyone half decent can basically step in and start....

 

Teague is better than what we have, but he's really a hold the fort kind of guy. I'd like to see him in more of a jack-of-all-trades backup capacity. I suppose this plugs a hole, and now it's not the end of the world if we don't get Mangold, but I'd still like to see us address the interior in this draft.

-X-

 

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be the party pooper, but am I the only person who noticed how everybody was anti-Teague until we actually signed him?

Trey Teague is not a very good player. And he is certainly not a longterm solution. I see no reason why this would stop the Jets from drafting Mangold at #29.

 

i want to get a bill fan in here and tell us how teague played

 

I'd love a DE like lawson in that spot to replace John "hobble to the sideline" Abraham.

 

Kyle Young, anybody? :beer:

 

Norm Katnik taking over Teague's contract expires... thats what i think will happen. Obviously the Jets are high on him, because they signed a "hold-the-fort" type of player for two years, so they probably wont be spending a first round pick on a player where they already have a solid starter and a player with a lot of potential that they seem to be high on.

 

O-line Flexiblity

Teague gives us tremdous flexiblity come draft time, because he can play center which he has for the past four years with Bills or left tackle like he did with the Bronco's when he started his career. He's durable and he's a great pass blocker. What more can we ask for. love the move

 

I can't stand Kendall at guard though. We can't run with him being 280lbs.and Teague is small too.Still need a left guard and a RT in IMO.

Fabini was our 4th round pick out of Cincinnati

they just resigned Peerless Price too

 

Trey was an okay center nothing special. I have to believe that the old regime didnt see much in him because we drafted Duke Preston to be our future center. Marv came in and didnt offer him a contract so we signed Melvin Fowler to be our new center. From what I have noticed about Trey the past couple of years is he gets pushed back into the backfield way too much. Most of us Bills fans wanted Tucker to start at center because he was a much better athlete, but Tom "Phil" Donahoe messed that one up by cutting him because he spoke the truth about the terrible job management was doing. Trey Teague is a decent center but nothing special, he will do his job but not in the upper class and just below the middle class of quality centers.

 

Sweet, now we just need a G and a RT and our o-line is complete!

 

Thanks for the info... but........Who the F*** is Melvin Fowler???? Sounds like the next President of Zimbabwe...

 

He started for the Vikings last year when Birk went down with an injury. He also started at G and C for the Browns before they drafted Faine

 

hes a very good center overlooked by many i like the signing solidifies the OL even more wow the puzzle is coming together
