Best case scenario he’s out for about 6 weeks That is not the best case scenario. He could have just got a stinger and will be back next week.

apuszczalowski Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 What kind of Neck brace? Was it the hard plastic one? That could be serious. the foam neck ring one could mean he had a fender bender on the way to the stadium and has a meeting with Celino and Barnes tomorrow morning..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Landing Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 1 hour ago, Bills Oil Company said: I don't agree with it. It's how Josh is going to get hurt and limits his development because he's running for his life. Best 5 on the OL play. Ford isn't top 5 right now. Develop on your own F-ing time. There is certainly truth to this. But, consider: Nsekhe (33, and already injured at least once this year) is on a downward trajectory. Ford (top prospect, high ceiling, not playing that much worse than Nsekhe) is on an upward trajectory. Ford needs to be developed. Not for his own good, but for the sustained good of the team. I think they're handling the situation appropriately. And, honestly, I think the characterization of Josh "running for his life" is hyperbolic. Last season Josh was running for his life. This season, you'd have to be blind to not see the improvement in the O-line. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season, you'd have to be blind to not see the improvement in the O-line. Fair enough. And yes, they are definitely better than last year. If i were McBeane, here's what i would do assuming everyone is healthy. Ford to bench. Line is: Dawkins, Spain, Mitch, Fel, Ty. Then next offseason let Spain walk (he's on a 1 yr deal), draft/sign a real RT (I'd prefer a Rd 1 or 2 draft pick), Nsekhe becomes the true swing tackle, and Ford & Fel are your starting guards - put one of them on left side. So: Dawkins, Fel, Mitch, Ford, New guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have an agenda and deny anything contrary to it. Lots of "professional" sports analysts are like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR8 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Hopefully it's precautionary, maybe a strain or pinched nerve and the brace is to take pressure off it. Both are painful but not serious. Well see as the week progresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but the Bengal's DL was just waiting to break out. They have a lot of talent up front and it was bound to show up eventually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
