No doubt he is hurt. it just seems like some cloudy remarks from OBD. Zero,straight talk.

Actually it seems pretty clear to me without much of the straight talk.

 

Harvin has a hip injury, which he has had for years. He aggravated it early in the year. He overcompensated to protect it and to play in games, and hurt his knee doing that (which was reported a couple weeks ago). Not being able to run, and with two painful injuries, he got extremely frustrated, and voiced those frustrations to a few people, maybe even considering retirement if they didn't heal and he couldn't play at top speed, and therefore a top level. Because it's still and always will be a business, the Bills didn't want to pay him if he retired or sat this season out so they used the "frustration" element of it in the injury reports.

 

Now, Harvin is feeling a little better but not yet able to play. He's not as frustrated and wants to come back and contribute. His hip is a little better but the knee is still bothering him and he can't resume playing full speed, which a guy like him needs to be to be productive.

 

It really does make sense with all of the reports.

I guess what is also frustrating about it is you only have so many roster spots......and many people (myself included) would like to see what a big target like Dez Lewis could do for the team

 

HOWEVER

 

Dez Lewis played like crap in pre season.....like if he wasnt drafted he would probably be cut bad.....but just like with Kujo......Dez could improve into his second year.

Well shucks, didn't think there were people (let alone "many people") who were itching to see some Dez Lewis on the field during a real game.

The question is, how much did the Bills / NFL charge the military for this? :ph34r:

Deangelo Williams can't wear pink to honor his mother, and Heyward can't eye black ironhead to honor his father- but it is alright for the military industrial complex to advertise on our helmets

Bills DC Dennis Thurman: "We've trimmed back (on D). But it's still about execution."

Thurman: Glad Leodis is back. He's an asset. Experience. Knowledge. Hasn't played a lot of safety this week but versatile enough.

@MatthewFairburn

Sammy Watkins was once again limited with his ankle injury. Corey Graham and Mario Williams were also limited.

@SalSports

Graham Watkins Tarpley Mario all limited. A little concerned about Mario yesterday. But not today. Should be full-go

@JoeBuscaglia

#Bills HC Rex Ryan wouldn't give up anything with Sammy Watkins, but they hope he'll be ready to play

@SalSports

As long as Sammy can't hurt himself more and isn't at more risk he will be out there Sunday. Hopeful. - Rex

@SalSports

AJ Tarpley has been cleared from concussion protocol.

I, wonder if that's the game Felser mentioned in his book. On the Bills first offensive series Kent Hull stands up pre snap points at the DT and says " were going to kick your arse today" RIP!
