Royale with Cheese Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Man I really have gained more respect for Matthews after this.

billsfan60 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 If Jones can get it together a WR package of O'Leary (Clay), Matthews, Thompson (Reilly), and Zay could actually produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristocrat Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Huge for us. That’s how you become a fan favorite.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Sounds like the anti Samantha To be fair, it's a lot more dangerous to be the decoy. The injury risk is much higher because you are drawing 10 guys to your side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBean Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 This is the same guy (Matthews) that I witnessed live, puking on the field against Ole Miss in 2012 due to a concussion. He ended the game with 200 yards receiving... I told my buddy that night he would be a stud in the NFL. I love that he’s a Buffalo Bill and we need to resign him. Again, kudos to McBean.

McBean Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) Yes, because the team needs more guys who have been concussed to the point of vomiting. Youve obviously been drinking a little too much this morning my friend. The point was Matthews is tough as hell. Weve had softies on this roster in the past that would miss time due to soreness. This guy has proven over time to be durable and an overall great football player that you should want on your team for a very long time.

frostbitmic Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Will he be able to catch the ball with a splint over his thumb or will the ball bounce off it ? I think his role today will be that of a decoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 @profootballdoc #JordanMatthews will be able to catch the ball. Splint on dorsum (back side) of thumb, away from ball. Won't interfere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 He was making catches in practice. He will probably be limited today I am sure but they aren't going to put him out there as just a decoy. A bunch of the plays he has been making, delayed crossing patterns from one side of the field to the other, should be reasonable to expect him to run and catch. I doubt they will be throwing quick slants into coverage to him but you never know. These guys are nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
