So this could be a safety precaution? I would say better than Bodine. Feliciano took first team reps at center the other day over Bodine. Not sure his history though. Long signed a pretty good extension as a center with the Jets a few years ago. He had a down year but it could have been on him or the mess the Jets were in last year with Bowles.

MR8 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Looks like Bodine is safe to make this team... I don't see a world where they want Spencer Long at C for an extended period... his natural position is OG. Feliciano is also more of a spot duty guy... they need to keep Bodine now IMHO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I swear there was just a debate over the concussion concerns being overrated. Head injuries should never be underrated. He literally could get touched the wrong way and it could cause a concussion. Very good player but this is terrible news. The other thing you have to think about is what his family starts to think. Is it worth it any more? Sad. 17 minutes ago, Lieutenant Aldo Raine said: Wow! I know he is good, but based on that history, he warranted to be the highest paid center in the NFL? Probably not. Sucks because he is a good player but that was a worrisome history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffaloboyinATL Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I could be wrong, but my guess is, if this was the regular season, he would be playing and no one would even know he had a concussion. Best to take precaution in training camp, but I guarantee many concussions still go unreported every week in the NFL. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Blitz Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) So we're looking at POTENTIALLY for parts of this season having Bodine--Felicano-a rookie on the right side. Yup. I'm trading for Trent Williams today. Get on the phone with the worst run franchise in sports today. I understand Trent has missed games to. Not to concussions. His injuries might have more to do with playing on the worst field in the NFL. Trent--Dawkins--Center Roulette--Spain--Ford That looks much more palatable to me.

I bet he didn't though. There have been tons of studies with regards to "soft helmets" rather than the hard helmets they currently use... Kelsos was a "soft helmet" where ofcourse it was rigid but it had give, as well, allowing the helmet to absorb some of the impact rather than just having the padding hold the helmet in place and allow the brain to still take the impact and be shaken up. I posted an article on Billievers like 2 years ago where the company that manufactured them showed through their studies that the "Soft Helmets" reduced impact to the brain something like 60% better than standard helmets utilizing the same style impacts in simulated contact. However people (trainers, coaches, players etc.) don't accept them because they aren't the norm, and players hate them because they look funny... If everyone had them, they may look goofy year 1, but by year 2 they'd be the norm an no one would look back, just like changing from leather to plastic. Something needs to be done about this from an equipment standpoint, and the sad truth is better options are out there but no one is using them. Hell if i were an NFL player and it were proven I'd pay the fine to not wear NFL gear and wear that helmet instead. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estro Posted July 31, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
