Second of all, trading for a left tackle does not do anything to help the problem of an injured center. The Cowboys did alright when their C went down last year. Because the rest of the line was good. Anyone worried about chemistry or too many changes.....the whole dam line is new. Can't bolster center but you can improve the rest. Some of you can say there is zero need to panic concern sure no panic. Sorry another concussion for this guy already is absolutely reason to panic especially considering he was our most important UFA signing to a position that was hot garbage last year. I'll chose to panic. I'd much rather it be a shoulder or knee where you know---hey, 2-4 weeks he'll be good.

He looked good doing non contact drills yesterday so hopefully it isn't severe and doesn't linger but def a concern.

Bodine is case and point of this... he was a starter with Cincy and they let him walk, he came here and didn't win the job outright ... we made him the starter then replaced him the next year. I think with Morse's history with concussions, this means Bodine gets to keep his spot on the roster. I know he doesn't have the ability to swing to OG like Feliciano or Long, but he's a better center than both of those guys, and you need to be prepared for the eventuality that Morse misses time, whether it be snaps or games, I think it's obvious this dude isn't going to be in every snap... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Sorry of already posted PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills center Mitch Morse is in the concussion protocol, head coach Sean McDermott announced Wednesday. Morse will miss Wednesday's practice. Morse's concussion was diagnosed Tuesday but occurred during Saturday's practice -- the Bills' first in full pads. Although it occurred Saturday, Morse's symptoms were not immediately discernible. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/27294492/bills-high-priced-c-morse-concussion-protocol Marcel Louis-JacquesESPN for the twitter peeps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyBills Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Makes me appreciate the Spencer Long signing. I know Feliciano was at C too but I think Long is a great backup. His bad play at C last year was largely due to a hand injury . 12 minutes ago, MR8 said: Bodine is case and point of this... he was a starter with Cincy and they let him walk, he came here and didn't win the job outright ... we made him the starter then replaced him the next year.

Best Player Available Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Not good is an understaement. IMO he was the most important FA signing. And for good reason. He needs to stay healthy for the entire season. I would guess with all the games he missed one season due too a concussion. He will sit the entire pre-season with a bubblewrap helmet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet he didn't though. He had no officially diagnosed concussions since told by Bills trainer Eddie Abramoski: "Wear the helmet or not play". I met Bills trainer Eddie Abramoski at a tailgate where he was a guest of honor and got autograph on my book. He played four more years post ProCap helmet. 4 minutes ago, C.Biscuit97 said: He has a concussion history and just might have got one 4 days into camp with very little contact.

Lol i mean didn’t he once miss month with one? My understanding is why there can be stronger ones, every concussion is a bad one. And they start adding up and just become easier and easier to get. That’s why it can be a very big deal. Especially in football. Especially at a position where he literally bash heads on every play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lost the center battle in preseason last year and did not beat Ryan Groy who played well in substitutions for Eric Wood. He did not even start opener although he did play 10 games weeks 3-14 before breaking his leg (seems to be common problem with centers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would be the positive spin on this I wonder? Signing an injury prone player and he gets hurt on the 4th day in camp with an injury related to the injury prone concerns. This is almost as bad as Holcomb slipping on the mat, then later falling in the shower and whacking his head then having to retire. Can't help but feel like this player is damaged goods, and may never be able to be counted upon to be available. This is very bad news, not to be swept under the rug IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
