Report: Bills want to bench Langston Walker
Langston Walker's move to left tackle might not last very long.
The highly paid Bills lineman was moved to the left side to help fill the monumental gap left behind when the team sent Jason Peters to Philadelphia.* But ESPN's Tim Graham reports that the Bills coaching staff prefers Demetrius Bell, a 2008 seventh-round developmental prospect.
Bell is currently sidelined with a "week-to-week" back injury, so the fact that the staff still prefers him is a damning statement about Walker, who is known to struggle in pass protection. Bell is known best for being Karl Malone's estranged son, but has drawn some comparisons to Peters for his athleticism.
No matter who starts, Trent Edwards' blindside protection remains unsettled with two weeks left before the regular season starts.* That can't be comforting news considering Edwards' long history of injuries.
