Brown Report Dead On
When Buffalo Bills traded left tackle Jason Peters BuffaloBill.com reporter Chris Brown wrote on what the Bills felt of their current tackles. Brown’s report was dead on in the end.
Brown wrote that the Bills believe that second year tackle Demitrius Bell made tremendous strides as a rookie to the point that they believe he could start at right tackle.
That would allow the Bills to move Langston Walker from right to left tackle. Fortunately, Walker already has some experience at left tackle, because of the hold out of Jason Peters right up to training camp, and his injury late in the season.
The move of Walker to left tackle is not permant as it will dependent on how good Bell becomes shows in games next season.
The switch of Bell to left tackle could come as early as week nine this season when the Bills have a bye. The Bills did that in the 2006 season at the bye they moved Jason Peters from right tackle to left tackle.
For the first time in a long time the Bills have a line that mostly will comprise of their own draft picks.
In the end the Bills playoff hopes rests on the development of the offensive and defensive lines.
