Re-sign Quinton Spain
The Bills can look to improve their offensive line this offseason, but after the massive overhaul a year ago, the better move might be to keep things where they are. While many praise the efforts of Quinton Spain, his season was about average.
Pro Football Focus’ grades are taken with a grain of salt, but Spain notched a 56.1 overall mark in his lone season with the Bills. That was good for their 59th best guard in the NFL this season. Could Buffalo stand to improve from that? Certainly. Per PFF’s grades what hampered Spain was his run blocking, which finished at a lowly 45.7 overall mark.
So why keep Spain then? Last season the Bills brought in four new starters on their offensive line, and including Ty Nsekhe at right guard, five new guys saw some significant playing time in 2019. While plugging in someone new could be an option at Spain’s left guard spot if the Bills don’t re-sign him, that continuity could help the Bills next season. The 2018 offensive line set the bar very low and last year’s group surpassed them easily. But one more offseason together heading into next year can give the Bills a finely-turned and gelled unit that’s even better next season.
Watch LG Quinton Spain pancake his man, then look for more work.
Also watch Dawkins-Morse’s man, Isaiah Mack, parting the two like saloon doors.
