atlbillsfan1975 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 No way Jose! I am a big UGA fan and was very happy Glenn was drafted by the Bills and liked the early play of Glenn. sorry, but I think either Glenn doesn’t have the body or drive to be a consistent player in the league. I also doubt he plays for backup money. I can’t see McDermott and Beane ever signing him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBeaneBandit Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 The guy got soft after the payday. I remember him getting tossed all over in the Thursday night game vs the Jets. Def a hard pass. I want more Feliciano types on the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the Sammy defenders who have no legs to stand on will hate reading this but Sammy is now slated to miss his 3rd game in a row. The last 2 games....... They lost. This is who he is, he has a spectacular game a couple ok games, a couple where he is inconsequential and then he is injured for a few. Rinse and repeat. The life of Sammy Watkins. Yet another good move by Beane. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sal Maiorana, @salmaiorana Published 8:00 a.m. ET July 22, 2017 | Updated 9:14 p.m. ET July 22, 2017 Imagine having this conversation with the woman you’re about to marry. “Honey, I’m going to turn down a full-time entry-level job in journalism that pays about $30,000 annually to start with benefits, so I can go work a $5-an-hour internship for the Carolina Panthers.” That happened back in 1998, and new Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane lived to laugh about it. “My wife didn’t kick me out for that, so that was pretty good,” Beane said recently, recalling that potential deal-breaking moment when the just-out-of-college soon-to-be-newlyweds were preparing to start a life for themselves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a point that as you acknowledge, many of the symptoms of concussion are self-reported; I'm not sure how that squares with "he wasn't presenting with any symptoms" If the guy is seeing lights or experiencing ringing in his ears or having exertion-induced headaches, then those are the symptoms he presents with, self-reported or not Now maybe Glenn is "faking it" but it seems to me that if he wants a 2nd opinion he has every right under the CBA to obtain one. Kyle Turley has accounts of Mad Martz slamming his desk and screaming at him that he should get out there and play when he was still suffering from his back injury. He feels it cut short his career (for those who don't know, Kyle Turley is the OLman who um, dealt forcefully with some guys who were trying to bowstring his QB while the Zebras stood by). There are often two sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I remember beane getting excoriated by the negatives over the Glenn trade. Looks like he was right. Again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Interesting. The Trent Williams saga in Washington started because Trent felt the management and medical staff misdiagnosed him, rushed him back, didn’t take his condition seriously enough. It’s a big thing now. Players are fighting back. Players are orchestrating their own trades, etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he really wants one then why hasn't he just gotten one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincec Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 So, the options are he has a lingering injury that won't heal or he is a loafer and mailing it in. Neither sound too appealing to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 3 hours ago, ColoradoBills said: Byrd was a bad signing for NO. That was back when the Saints were trying to buy a championship and it totally backfired. The played the cap manipulation game and lost. They missed 3 years of playoffs because of it. what got them worst was giving big deals to two homegrown players that were out the door within about a year (graham and galette). Those bonus accelerations were hellacious. And on the heels of bountygate. and poor drafting. It was quite the time. Byrd was an issue but contributing to the problem not primary to it.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kids had been good all day on a road trip, so we bought Hornets tix. Had about $800 into the night and 4 minutes in my youngest (hard working little AAU point guard) turns to me and says “THEY’RE NOT EVEN TRYING!” So true! Also, in hoops you don’t take the absolute beating you’ll get in the NFL. There is ZERO coasting in the NFL, so there may be may tweaks, plantar fasciitis, back or concussion issues that are hard to deny......all to avoid having to get CRUSHED for that paycheck!

Green Lightning Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 3 hours ago, H2o said: Or maybe he just doesn't want to play for the winless Bengals at this point? I also believe he feels slighted and is acting in this manner due to the fact they were kicking him into LG because of Williams, but when Williams gets injured he is being put back at LT. Some athletes are petty and it's hard to judge what is ego or legit anymore. I dunno H2O, the more I read about this the more bogus it sounds. Even if he doesn't want to play for a loser or get moved to G, he's under contract. Not playing because he's not happy but still getting paid is odius.
