Why? The Bills have a top 10 O line. They have signed a couple of backups, how exactly does that change that?

Outside of Richie Incogntio the bills don't have a top 10 player at any other position on their o-line, how does that make their o-line top 10? (Dawkins was fine as a rookie but how he'll play in his second season is anyone's guess and the rest are medicore to blegh) 

More than likely those backups will compete for starting jobs, unlikely but entirely possible considering the bills from C to RT are pretty blegh.

This strange bromance with the Bills and Bengals just reached domestic violence levels.  They both suck, even as backups

Just wait. Kevin Minter is coming in for a visit lol. I would much rather us sign Will Compton who came in for a visit... Maybe we are trying to sign both... Or maybe Compton asked for to much so we are going to plan B

Minter isn't as bad.  he was productive before we got him last year.  Bodine and newhouse were horrid in their times here.

Why? We still have Groy and Mills.

Bodine I think was just brought here cause he has familiarity with McCarron. Being familiar with the backup Center is huge in case of an injury. Newhouse is just a depth signing since we traded Glenn... Dawkins is taking over at LT.

Is Groy going to play center?  He's listed as a guard.

Just seems like Bodine is the assumed starter since he turned down a long term/starting deal with the Bengals to go to the Bills.

Yes, Groy can play all over the line. I expect us to draft an interior OL early in this draft to play from day 1

Look at the stats. They speak for themselves.

That's good.  You don't want Bodine starting.  He'll be ok occasionally, then all of the sudden just watch defensive linemen run by him without even thinking about touching them.

Groy was out starting Center a couple years ago when Wood went on IR for entire season. Many think he actually played better than Wood ever had.

Sounds like he'd fit right in with the Giants!
