BillsFan17 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 What an odd picture! The red shirt is catching his breath like Dareus. Black shirt is putting in Mario Williams effort to block. White shirt got next game, but his face is blurred out? Why him? Is he a celebrity?You mean the same Mario Williams who absolutely dominated before Rex decided to miscast the guy?10.5 13 14.5 ... hard to put up those kind of sack totals without putting in much effort.

They didn't have a lot of injuries that year so I guess they were right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Most of that was the team being cautious rather than SW not wanting to practice. Maybe he should keep with the team directives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Maybe he should keep with the team directives? In the end his hard headed attitude will end up sabotaging his own career. If he is too obtuse to understand why with his type of foot injury there is a need for caution and prudence then he is a fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the one that Rex miscast, and I guess the Miami one, too. Dareus was in shape at one point too. Anyway, it was a joke. Maybe not a good one, but simply a joke. Regardless, why is the guy in the white shirt blurred? Edited April 24, 2017 by leonbus23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndirish1978 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I have no knowledge about how this actually affects his foot or if it really is a big risk for him to aggravate his injury. So, obviously I'm outraged and completely against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys in the foreground, including an NFL receiver, are plain as day. Especially black shirt. With face identification software, we can know him immediately. But that little guy way in the back needs his identity hidden. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8-8 Forever? Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 My buddy posted a pic on Facebook of him and a friend with Sammy Watkins after playing pickup basketball together on the same team today at LA Fitness... Apparently Watkins foot must be fully healed? Posted they were 4-0 in pickup games and Watkins dunked one of his put back attempts that bounced off the rim... Either way, that is definitely a good sign... he'll hit his peak just in time for free agency and his agent will get him out of Dodge for 15m after this year unless Bills franchise him, which will totally piss him off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Maybe he should keep with the team directives? Said it then and will repeat now, they should have brought Anquan Boldin 3 years ago. Former top HS player in nation who overcame injuries to become a hard-nosed, no-nonsense superstar turned clutch performer/winner with a SB ring.......and one of the most respected men in all of football. Watkins is just an immature young guy. He doesn't know what he doesn't know about being a finished product or a great teammate. Not surprisingly nobody in that WR room can tell him otherwise because he clearly doesn't respect the organization's opinion. And why would somebody who has been at entitled as Watkins since he got to Clemson? The organization hasn't proven they know how to pass the football and they haven't had a receiver with anywhere near his ability to set an example.

ALF Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I have not seen a update on Ragland since this one in Jan According to Matthew Fairburn, Ragland’s rehab is progressing fairly smoothly, and although he is not yet cutting, he should be ready to return in August. ACL tears usually take 7-12 months to heal, and since Ragland tore his last August, it makes sense to target that month as the one where he will try to be full-go again. http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2017/1/9/14212896/reggie-ragland-update-injury-return-training-camp-2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has always been one of my questions with Sammy. He was big at Clemson, then the Bills make a huge trade to get him. He was elevated to a status he didn't earn. I don't know how willing he is to do the little things. I've always got the impression that Sammy thinks he deserves better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webster Guy Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Oh, gimme a break! -Who here REALLY believes Sammy will play the whole season before his foot gets the better of him? We NEED to draft a reliable target so the cupboard isn't bare when 14 goes out. i think he'll play the whole season this year. he's in his prime and this foot thing took just about as long as the doctors predicted it would last year. but i still agree with you that we need to draft another reliable target even with Sammy in the game. Don't think it will be round 1 though. McDermott has his chance to add some serious defensive talent here and he's pushing for some speed at LB and safety in the 1st two rounds.

I mean...its not an issue until it is? If he comes up lame people will point back to coming off a very bad injury and these off season things Maybe....just MAYBE that is why the trade rumors are floating. Maybe the bills have already discussed this with Sammy and his response to that has been "its my life I will do what I want" To which McD and Bean's response is......time to start preparing a plan B in case Sammy gets hurt again. My own opinion? I hope its not even an issue and we are all hand wringing over nothing.....i want to see Sammy own it this year and get a new deal from us.
