gjv001 Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 Time for "Next Man UP". Hopefully this is the last concussion for Morse and he plays the entire season. But if I'm McDermott I'm telling Beane to keep a keen eye out for a starting calibre center.

JoshAllenHasBigHands Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 I can't imagine living my life in such a state of crisis that such a minor injury (weeks before the season is set to start) would get me this worked up. 1

Estro Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 This is a major concern. I remember his concussion history being brought up when this board was discussing Paradis vs. Morse as a FA signing. I know the Bills were pretty desperate to sign a C this year in FA, but that desperation may have created a huge blindspot. That is not only a lucrative deal, but its a long contract they gave Morse. If he starts missing games, or worse yet suffers another concussion in season, the Bills will be open to a lot of blame. 1

Expand The Trent Williams train derailed before you posted that thread the other day. It has nothing to do with their situation at center. They're not adding that salary for a veteran player with an injury history on a team that's invested high picks in Dawkins, Ford, and UFA dollars for Nsekhe.
twist_to_open Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 Might not be a bad idea to have our scouts looking hard at stud centers at the college level this year. Never too early to get ready for the next draft, even though well be picking 32nd. 1 1
