HalftimeAdjustment

I don't know if it is a career season, but it is a good season and remarkable for the oldest RB in the NFL. And this offense does not use him receiving as much as the last 2 coaches. Imagine if we had a better LG?

If EJ was not coming back this year, I would be all for bringing the circus to town. I would rather watch something interesting as a fan, and this would be interesting. Forget about whether it makes sense, it would be entertaining and make the Bills relevant. However... with EJ slated to return, you cannot bring in a big ego/head case. This is a developmental year and he needs to play after his 3-8 weeks off(hopefully the lower end). So let's go with whomever has the lowest tendency to throw INTs, but will still be benched when EJ returns.

An initial diagnosis and MRI can be very far off. I know someone who had a torn ACL and 2 meniscus tears - initial diagnosis was "probably just bruised, ice it". MRI told a different story. By the way, it was a very experienced orthopedic surgeon with a knee specialty who was, at the time, an NFL team physician. So, the MRI will tell the tale, until then, just hope for the best.

Who got the taunt penalty?

It's on like a...

EJ is hurting us.

Cheapest personal foul ever.

Give him a heavy load on his sprained knee? How about we split it FJ and Choice. CJ gets rested til next game.

Like a guy running on a bad ankle?

Yes because you need to beware the NFL interception leader.

Have to hand it to Carpenter... that was dead on.

Can't believe that last statement where Fred is the oldest RB in the NFL. Guess 'low mileage' actually mattered b/c all the other players at his age are done completely.

We ran 55 times against Baltimore. Sure a few were reverses or QB runs... but we DEFINITELY need 2 RBs for that!

A sprain is a form of partial tear. If it is Grade 1 apparently you can live with it, several players have. But in my opinion if there are any options he should miss the Browns and take the 2 weeks to heal. If it is Grade 2 it is supposed to be 4 weeks or so. The way he described it you'd think Grade 1 (let's hope). I don't have a link, just Google MCL sprain.

Not just good games but he showed actual ball awareness.

This coaching staff has turned McKelvin into a real CB.

A meniscus "repair" is not a minor surgery. A meniscus "trim" (meniscectomy) is more minor. (Look it up... protocols post-surgery are quite different). Not a good sign for the accuracy of this piece.

I'm not sure. He only lost out just slightly to the younger guy, he had a lower average but good hang time. He could be at the top of lists for injury replacement.

With the news that Wood's extension is complete... this thread has come to a climax.

We should see if Wood can perform in the New England game. If Wood can remain upright while Bianca Wilfork's in sight, you know he can go the distance.

It looks like she is barefoot in the tattoo. What a surprise.

You keep him. What is the plan if CJ is injured in week 2. Or in preseason. Is it more likely for FJ to get injured? Yes. Is CJ injury proof? No. Is FJ better than Choice? Yes when healthy. Is he better than a late round rookie? Probably when running and definitely when it comes to pass protection or screen plays. I would not like to see us spend any picks on RB this year.

This.

In most matters, as long as people have the feeling they need to confirm with Russ and not with Ralph, it will make a big difference. Decisions will be made quicker. Presumably the head coach will not have to talk to RW "every week". And, there might be a lot of decisions that previously would have gone to RW, which RB will make and tell him later, after they are executed, rather than getting his opinion. Sure, in theory RW could fire RB. But in practice, that is only going to happen after several years and/or a big financial loss. And there might not be several years left for that to happen under Ralph. Furthermore - this is important for another reason. If RW does die in the next few years, there will be a period of time before new ownership is established. This structure gives Russ the true authority to run the franchise during that period which could substantially improve stability over the medium term.

It's a good thing they let us know that there will be no news until tomorrow. Otherwise I might have killed my F5 key and also my phone.
